I'm a Coulthard fan too, he really seems to have been shafted recently. Every year is Coulthard's year ....and that doesn't happen. Him and Webber.

So, Formula One is living to the "if you want to win, get a finn" saying.
Massa, man, Massa, what happened? That mistake probably will cost his title chances. One thing I miss in Formula One is old Nelson Piquet. I remember prost was giving an interview about some milestone on his career, when nelson got close and started, behind the frenchman, to make fun of his nose. The journalists went wild! And this is classic: Interviewer, before a race: "So, Piquet, would you like to win today?" Nelson Piquet: "No, today I'd like to be the 16th!"

I like little Felipe, but I think he's too volatile to be world champion. He's a very good driver, but he'd have to have an entire season where nothing wound him up. Either that or have lobotomy.

Easy McLaren fans. One race and the hubris in here is deafening.

I'd like to see Williams as a threat, but I don't think that's really going to happen this year. What was practically mind-bending was that both Red Bulls finished a race! When did that last happen?
Since I'm relatively new to F1 (three seasons in and a good bit of studying-up) I have to say that David Coulthard seems like an excuse machine and also one very quick to point a finger. That said, I love his rants and last week threatening, on camera no less, to 'kick three colors of shit out of the little bastard' (referring to Massa) was hilarious. (Too bad I can't get the ITV coverage here - had to wait for it to pop up on Google videos.) I need to see him on the podium again to scrub the picture of him trying to look triumphant in a Superman cape (Monaco '06 -how embarrassing must that have been?) Poor dear. No wonder he's grumpy. |

They do seem to quickly run dry of anything like an interesting question some days. Lots of head-scratching there.

For sure. I can't drink that stuff. I tried once and never had felt so polluted in all my life.

He finished! He got 10th. Not great, but better than mostly he did all last year. And at least he's not whizzing by in a blur of grass clippings and riesling-bottle glass.

It's okay. I ran the opening post through the gender guesser and it came up 76.24% Male.
Amusingly, I'm 'MALE' in the 'informal' analysis, but on the 'formal' side, I received a 57.96% and was identified as a 'WEAK MALE' with this note as a qualifier: Quote:

Hahaha, I ran some of my stuff through it now too - i am also a weak European male *snerk* , both formal and informal. That's just odd.

Yeah, I think they need another run in the wet. It'll be very interesting to see what happens then. Jenson's win in Hungary wasn't a fluke. It was just that a whole lot of people need to crash so he can show us how good he is.
That's kinda sad, but at least he isn't a fraud. |

The only interesting thing about Coulthard over the last couple of seasons is trying to guess which lap he would crash on. Maybe we should have a contest here to try and pick that lap in Bahrain.
It's a 7am start for Bahrain where I live. So much for sleeping in on the weekend. |

I love Bahrain. It looks like they're racing on the moon.

I stopped in once. The moon has more charm.

I didn't know you were an astronaut! That's so neat. But, yeah, don't know much anything about Bahrain except that they make their own islands and stuff.
I just meant the Bahrain Formula1 event. The scenery is so interesting. |
