Hell, i mostly dont even read them "mark all threads as read" on J-D Deletraz forum is almost a daily routine for me

"Sammy Jones to announce shock F1 retirement after fans turn their back on him"

Yeah to be quite honest if I'm putting this effort in every other weekend and this bunch of lazy a*sewipes can't be bothered to follow me then I can't really see the point. Might as well quit now while I'm still slightly famous eh?

Sammy Jones is awesome.

It's Luca Badoer-Chaos Theory and all related material that should be ashamed of itself.

Haha don't be daft, I'd wager that yours was one of the better ones of the forum! It's thoughtful, detailed, and well written, though I'll thank you for the compliment

As for Sammy Jones, the retirement announcement was a false alarm, much like Mansell in 1990 normal service will be resumed probably tomorrow afternoon sometime at Monza!

Alex Katajamäki's retirement may be permanaent however.

No one reads what now?

So maybe simulating a massive crash at Hockenheim which puts me out of the German and Hungarian Grand Prix while Sauber's appeal suceeds which means I miss Turkey as well shouldn't be too hard then.

No that statement didn't make much sense in my head either... Phoenglish is really getting to me

No! No! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Interviewing only a single driver is too boring!
PD: permanent not permanaent xD

I have to say my English has improved a lot since I got myself enrolled in this forum a year ago.

Well, at least all our tomfoolery over the past year or so has accomplished something!

Grammar, please (unless it was intentional).

Signs you've failed: Phoenix corrects you on your English.

Nah it's just a sign of the good teaching he's had!

Nothing to do with F1 but Im pissed that George Lucas intends to release the six films on blu-ray. Thats not whats bothering me, its that hes been holding back yet more deleted scenes.

Yes, Im one of those.

THX 1138 is George Lucas' best film.

Thats what you really think.

Actually, George Lucas is a motor-racing fan so Im not being totally random. The Red Bull pit Clonetroopers were pretty cool.

And if Sebulba isnt MSC from a galaxy far, far away then I dont know who is.

But who would be the F1 equivalent of Anakin? Loved outsider boy who takes the big win, but ends up on the Dark Side (and unpopular with the fanbase) ... ooooooh!
Mr. Lucas seems to be a prophet.

Depending on your nationality( ) it could be your man Vettel or Jenson Button, who also fits the bill.

Technically, as Anakin built his own pod-racer it could even be..... Jacques Villenueve! I guess that depends on whether Bernie Palpatine lets him.

Thanks. I do have alot of free time.

I am soooo bored with F1 being on hiatus. Theres nothing going on anywhere. Dont get me wrong I have other things going on in my life (money problems, family, what wine to choose for tonight) but this is like seasons end (10 points for anyone who can get the tenous link to a classic rock album there). Who'se idea was this anyway? Damn stupid.

OK, rant over. Back to work.

coops wrote:(money problems, family, what wine to choose for tonight)

If you'd drink no wine, you would have less money problems.

But you're right ... thank god I still have DTM here, otherwise, I'd have gone mad(der than I am already).

When stand the drivers of England, England stands. When fall the drivers of England, England falls.

these are the predictions that probably won't happen, it's like a rant-box for what you'd like to see, but likely never will.
agreements and/or heckling are welcome.
For instance, Massa will win by the end of the year, in a race where Nando bins it, and Rosberg will score his maiden win, with webber second and kobayashi third.

I merged this with the Rantbox, as there's nothing that couldn't be done in this thread that was going to be done in the new one.

What on EARTH was Hamilton thinking today? A 12-second time cushion does not give you license to be a hero in the rain! He almost binned a win today! Absolutely amazing.

I can't stand when people say Vettel's penalty was deserved because I somehow know that they would be attacking the FIA if it had been Hamilton in his place.

Luckily for me there's always the F1 Rejects forum.

Well, they have started to penalize mistakes too, so therefor it was a correct decision.

I used to think Martin Whitmash was a knobhead. Now though...he's talking some sense for once.

I still feel slightly guilty about ruining Kostas's podcast at the start of the season.

Yeah I know, it isn't a rant, but its somewhere to put it.

Err...I wasn't funny anyway. There wasn't really much to ruin.

After watching this weekends Grand Prix, I was so strongly reminded how much I HATE the Tilke-dromes and the trend of moving Formula 1 away from the places it truly BELONGS. I don't get caught up in the culture or history of many things, but this sport is one of them, and taking tracks like Imola, Estoril, the A1 ring, the French Grand Prix, really burns me up. Yes, it was great seeing a night race in Formula 1, and yes its great to see Formula 1 trying to reach new fans the world over, but Bahrain, Singapore, Valencia, Yaz Marina, they are all SO F*CKING BORING. And whats worse, is the mockery thats been done to places like Hockenheim, Silverstone, and that AWFUL new chicane at Catalunya. I know its easy for me to say as someone who has never been in the cockpit, butt makes me crazy the way elements of danger (which for better or worse I think attracts many people to racing) have been siphoned from the sport.

One of my favorite, if not my favorite track of the last 30 years is Paul Ricard. The stupid-fast Mistral straight, the blindingly quick turn 1 (something you NEVER see on new circuits), the incredible sweeping Signes corner. Everything about that track even after it was truncated because of Elio De Angelis' death, was incredible. It was truly a test of courage and skill on the absolute limit. Spa is a reminder of just how awesome some Formula 1 circuits once were. If Formula 1 is going to run a street circuit like Singapore, they ought to race at Surfers Paradise. That is a track.

We can only dream and pray, sadly

I'm only dreaming in technicolor here, but I HOPE that Hermann Tilke gets fired/assassinated/incinerated after he makes that HORRIBLE Austin track.

Sebastien Buemi needs a kick up the a***.

Eddie Jordan wrote:I think they should get a bigger penalty. What happens if Alonso gets away scot-free and goes on to win the championship by two points?

What happens, Eddie, is that Ferrari's team orders at Hockenheim is vindicated as a strategy.

The Incident was a problem only because it was a) blatant, and b) unneccessary. A team order to cede the victory is offensive when it has no bearing on their championship bid, but much less so when it does.
