Robert Anderson wrote:Is is because I'm a paydriver?I'm very dead-beat compared to Douglas Muppet, until he bathplugged himeself. Again.
And in my (Robert's) opinion, both Douglas and Reiko are muppets. Valsattis is much better than those muppets.
Reiko Megumi, coming out of nowhere, and carrying her signature flag, wrote:You called me what? Muppet? MUPPET? You've not going to mess up with me. IENIKAERU*, ROBERT ANDERSON!

Let's hope that a few of the drivers in front suffer problems, that the French dustcart in the back of this car doesn't fancy attempting to become part of the Blackpool Illuminations and that I can force myself into the points.
Poppy Whitechapel wrote:Right, this is it. If Tyrrell dont improve their shite by the time the circus moves to Barcelona, then my contract is going in the shredder. Stuff team loyalty, I'm tired of the same old shite, tired of being embarrassed, tired of being upset after being let down time and again.

Thought I'd attempt a bit of character evolution with Damon, by making him describe things using obscure wordplay, rather than the normal PR speak.

How many times you have made retcons? First Jerez rather than Nurburgring last season, then Megumi rather than Valsattis in Jerez. RERUN THE QUALIFYING USING VALSATTIS NAME AND PERFORMANCE FILE, FOR AdrianSutil's SAKE!

Don Rennis wrote:My god, that was an enormous accident for James. We will run Jack Christopherson in the car until further notice.
James Davies wrote:Oh, you are joking. You have got to be kidding me. The doctors say I'm out of the cockpit for 6 months, minimum. Which is crap, especially when I was kicking Rory's ass into the next century the last couple of races. I can't remember a damn thing that happened, but if I were to guess, maybe the brake gremlins from Brazil came back? Or maybe Megumi is even more of a psychotic bitch than I first thought? At least with Jack Christopherson replacing me, my car'll be in very good hands.
That said, I'm not letting a little thing like severe neck damage stopping me. I'll be back in that car, soon as I can get out of this bed. Just watch me.
Don Rennis wrote:Just breathe for me James. You'll be back in the car as soon as the doctors declare you fit son. Just don't do anything silly on your enforced break and we'll take care of the rest.
On other news, the McLaren group demands a full investigation into the accident to see how safety can be improved.

RejectSport wrote:REPORT: James Davies' Condition Stabilized
James Davies' condition has stabilized after his horrific accident at yesterday's Luxembourg Grand Prix. Davies was knocked unconscious after a part of his suspension detached from the car after a spin at the Castrol S. Davies' McLaren-Mercedes had just passed the start-finish line at high speed before he lost control. The car hit the curbing and went into the air, turning wildly in the air before landing. The suspension and both front wheels detached immediately upon landing. The suspension rebounded into the cockpit where it grazed Davies' head before passing over the car. Davies' helmet took much of the impact but Davies' neck was badly injured from the crash and the impact. Davies awoke early this morning and spoke to reporters. He is expected to be out for six months. Jack Christopherson will take his place.
RejectSport wrote:F1RGP2C President Responds to Safety Calls
Tristan Jung, the president of the F1RGP2C, has responded to those who have criticized the safety policies of the F1RGP2C by announcing several major safety restrictions. From the press release:
1. Suspensions and wheel tethers will be strengthened to prevent flying bits and pieces everywhere.
2. All engines will receive a 30 BHP loss in power to decrease speeds.
These changes are in response to two major accidents at this weekend's Luxembourg GP. James Davies and Pieter Kickert sustained massive crashes during the race at the high-speed Castrol S. Davies was seriously injured while Kickert (and Damon Cannon) escaped serious injury.
Andreas Stefano wrote:Sod all. Our reliability isn't going to better... but I hope not.
What? Too many transmission problems? By nearly everyone? All I can say is everyone brings wrong gearbox settings. I repeat, EVERYONE BRINGS WRONG GEARBOX SETTINGS.
