As for Melrose, if I was running the team, I would have fired him. How dare he talk to The Fox like that, does he not know how great this man is? I would rather put some fat arsed 13 year old boy that has done one kart race and came last in the seat rather then watch Melrose race again.

It seems that despite the purchase SOTL team that no longer will be converted into long Dofasco F1RWRS Racing Grzegosz Sobczyk told Blick newspaper interview for "hiring policy" Pay driver "is not enforced until the team will gain a strong sponsor." Nor do we know who will be ridden in a team Sobczyk next season driving the team that picks the several drivers are Katsumi Yamamoto riding in Formula Nippon or Alexey Pchelintsev but it has been confirmed to start in the Budweiser 500 in the colors of Garry Rogers Motorsport, Sobczyk is reportedly interested .David Koczo in Calinetic team.

You have released anyone was on my side and designed a car that highlighted the few flaws my racecraft has. Racing fans all over the world will forever have to ponder the question just how successful Kahama could be if it were not for your ego. Oh, and I happen to notice that TV cameras are here. This is why I will use this opportunity to announce my new merchandising set: first off, my new "Best In The World" shirt - show everyone just what a proud fan of me and Jones Racing you are and order it on www.castroljones.eu/fanshop ... and more importantly, my book about my former boss: "Barii Mori - A Cult Of Personality". It will be a hell of a read, I can promise you that. It will be available at www.castroljones.eu/fanshop before the beginning of the 2014 season.

Daniel Melrose wrote:11th on the grid is good in a car that has been clearly struggling in terms of one lap pace as before my last gasp attempt where I found over half a second I was stranded in the mid teens. Hopefully this grid position can translate into a points finish tomorrow.

Rhys Davies wrote:Shite, this car is quick. What was HRT thinking with their car? Oh, right, reliability.

Kay Lon wrote:This session did not really work out, there is no excuse for us failing. The car does not work well with this circuit apparentely and neither myself or Sammy showed legendary driving around here. I guess this race will be about picking up scraps - and I feel there will be some scraps alright.

Dave Simpson wrote:Oh, firetruck, another DNQ. The car didn't feel too good in the tight twisty sections of the course and the engine had developed a misfire halfway through the lap. Add to that the fact that I've never really liked Macau despite being labelled a street course specialist. Excuse me while I head off to trash a hotel room... just kidding, I'm not that easily ticked off. It will be good though to go and try one of Ron Mignolet's famous Belgian waffles and possibly head off to the Foxdale garage for a barbecue lunch.

To be honest, I would love to see Foxdale finish ... in second and third. Not behind me, necessarily, but generally in second or third. That would be in a way ironic. I love irony.

Shinji Zanmai wrote:It would be more ironic if Foxdale finished in 7th and 8th positions a lap down. Haha, good joke huh? With Shinobu in 7th on the grid, a good start hopefully will see her score more points

Barii Mori wrote:Well we did not do too well as we don't have the Engine grunt, but we are fast through the slow parts. I hope that we can just pick up some points, at least Dave Simpson can't just run me off the track at the first corner.

Phoenix McAllister wrote:OK. Let me make this clear... You're offering me to leave my very own team in a lurch for a crummy F2RWRS drive that may not materialize and a reserve driver role in your main team? Now this is the last time you've laughed at me on my face. Yes, we DNPQed again, but we are still a very proud bunch and I actually make more money than you do, I am much more attractive, your girlfriend left you for me and she's still with me and I derive more pleasure from racing than you do, even in my circumstances. Go offer that stupid offer to anyone else.

Now excuse me whilst I hop off to the pub before the race, you wanna join? ;D

BILD am Sonntag wrote:Michael Schumacher To Participate In Suzuka Charity Race?

Despite the entry list for the Suzuka Charity Race not being open yet, someone has been looking for it. Kay Lon, German F1RWRS driver, is interested in having the 7-time Formula 1 world champion Michael Schumacher on the grid.

"Yes, indeed, I want to see Michael on the grid for that race," he said to one of our reporters although he refused to state why. Apparentely he is also ready to give quite a lot to appeal to Schumi's generousity. The list of times that would be sold for charity organisations of Schumacher's choice would include: the Ford C-Max 2.0 L Duratorq TDCi I4 given to K. Lon by Ford during the 2010 F1RWRS season, one tire of the car Kay Lon won his first race with and two paintings by Stefan Lenke, both worth somewhere around £150,000

Sadly we were not able to get a reaction from Schumacher, who enters the second year of his new three car contract with Mercedes GP, yet.

Barii Mori wrote:Why do we need that clown in F1RWRS? Everyone knows that F1RWRS is the pinnacle of motorsport and only maybe Sebastian Vettel and Kamui Kobayashi could hold a candle to the current F1RWRS drivers. Maybe Kay Lon should just consider honing his racecraft skills.

Kay Lon wrote:My driving skills are honed, my dear Morii, but of course they do not match your supernatural skills ... regarding being manipulative and sabotaging good drivers, that is. I have a good reason for my actions which I cannot reveal until I have his participation confirmed.

Tony Gillet wrote:Well, a double retirement isn't exactly what we had in mind for our latest results. Our main goal for the rest of the season will be to simply finish the races, usually meaning scoring good points, which should help us consolidate our second place in both championships. Of course, teams with pay drivers have a much quicker development rate, and that's why we're dropping back in qualifying, but I refuse to hire one until the team drops into regular failure to qualify.

Sammy Jones wrote:Bugger. Gutted to have run out of fuel on the last lap, there must have been something wrong with the fuel pump after my third stop. Anyhow at least Kay picked up another point for us, every one is going to count at the end of the year to be honest. We still have three races to try and secure third place in the constructors' championship at the very least, and that's what we'll be focussing on until the season is out. Over the year our general pace has dropped off in comparison to others, and the main reason for this has been that our attention has been focused on getting our new car, the CJR-202, ready for testing for next season. Progress is going very well, and we hope the car can challenge for both championships next year.

Colin Pratchett wrote:Well, obviously, the team and myself did a great job today and our efforts paid off. I'm a bit disappointed that we weren't able to take the win today, as we were certainly in contention (and the Foxdales normally fail by then), but there will be other days. Great job guys!

Shinji Zanmai wrote:I feel sorry for Katayama, again she had the pace to challenge for a win, but an accident killed her chances off. The accident was because she was avoiding some rubbish on the track and went a little too wide. Well done to Saeed Al Faisal for a magical 4th, despite having to pit because of an electrical fault in the car, which did cost him nearly a minute as we reset the gearing system. A hearty congratulations to good old Douglas Mann for his amazing win, if Al Faisal did not have the fault too, then you would have been 2nd

Barii Mori wrote:Not quite sure what happened to Steele, one minute he was on the outskirts of a point and the next minute he retired. Still we are still in 11th, which is the lowest spot which gets us out of prequalifying so far.... Kay Lon, shut your cake hole, we shall see you in court just to show that you were just crap, rather then it being the fault of Kamaha.

Autosport wrote:Prince Falik seen talking to Ben Fleet


After Douglas Mann said that Ben Fleets position in the team was under threat, Prince Falik wasted no time gatecrashing the Foxdale garage and was seen handing Ben Fleet an envelope and was seen talking to hime most of the night. He ate a grilled corn on the cob and drank some orange juice. After the pace that Ben Fleet has shown, we are at a loss at why Douglas Mann would even consider geting rid of a fast and rich driver.

Kay Lon wrote:If you actually were in court once, then we'd see us. But you stall and stall and stall and stall. You know you have nothing so stop this waste of money and time.

Bathplug! Bathplug, Bathplug, Bathplug... I was doing my bathplugging best driver evah, and then the cars stops like a bitch... At least I´m the World Champion, You listen to me?

Rhys Davies wrote:I am absolutely gutted that we didn't win today. The car was great, and I could have beaten Pratchett had we not run out of fuel. But regardless, congratulations Collin on your unrejectfication, and to Douglas and the Foxdale team, for not blwing up for once. And of course, well done Mark. Watch out for next year!

Daniel Melrose wrote:Another burn from the stern, another points finish by the end of it. I've always felt some of my best drives in Formula One have either come from lowly grid positions or early incidents and here in the F1RWRS it's no different as I went from stone dead motherless last on lap 1 to 5th place by the end of it. Hopefully more drives like that will increase my chances to get a seat at another team next season.

Tropico News Today wrote:El Presidente offers Melrose drive

With the debut of Tropico Grand Prix powered by CR Motorsport only a few months away, El Presidente and the German council leading the team are looking for a big-name driver. Daniel Melrose, winner of the Formolo 1 Championship, has been given an offer by the generous El Presidente.

"When Senor Melrose desides to join the great team of Tropico Grand Prix, he will have eighty staff bow down to his wills and whims as if he were El Presidente himself," our leader said to Tropico News Today.

Regarding the second driver for Tropico GP, rumours have reached us that either a rich alumnus of the Virgin Intercorse Racing School will become the second driver or the team will keep the legendary Darren Older Jr..

Also, making the first and decisive step to see the team becoming a true national effort, Alberto Cara, son of the famous palace guard soldier who shot down five vicious rebels last year, has been confirmed as the test driver.
