Sometimes peple say the nicest things about others..Wikipedia: "Magpies are believed to be one of the most intelligent of all animals"...I shall treasure UR words, like all UR others, for years to come.

Why all this talk about Vettel going to Ferrari? It makes no sense. Red Bull is a superior team in every way other than historical significance to F1. Vettel is sitting pretty where he is. He can retire with Ferrari, but as long as Red Bull has the team it has, he could never really think of leaving. This weekend will give us a good outlook into the future of Red Bull this season. If Vettel pulls off what he did last race, minus the breakdown, it may be back to last years dominance. Which I would love to see. Not boring for me one bit. For excitement I can watch Hamilton crash people out of the race.

 

^ I agree, Vettel will not be going to Ferrari, not for awhile anyways. I think Webber or Perez will replace Massa

 

Glad you found some humor in it. Of course, the emphasis was on squawking, not intelligence. Crows, ravens and blackbirds are all extremely intelligent too, but their incessant chattering, chirping and squawking drives a normal person crazy. This might have been on my mind when I typed that...

 

Total agreement with both of you. I for the life of me could not fathom Seb going to Ferrari, yet these rumors persist and Seb has said that at some point in his life, he wants to drive for the Scuderia. I suppose the same could be said for Lewis. McLaren loves him and seems to pamper him, so why would he consider any other team? I suppose that silly season time spices up things a bit. Makes the boring 2 week interlude between races more exciting.

Neat little video in one minute that shows the outlines of F1 cars from 1950 to 2012:

Exactly, I see no reason why Vettel would leave Red Bull or why Hamilton would leave McLaren, they are both in better cars than the Ferrari which is also Alonso's team anyways so if one of them were to move there they would become second fiddle. Now Webber on the other hand makes sense to move since he hasn't been treated that well at Red Bull. Button won't change either, and we all know Massa is gone, so that only leaves Webber to take over for Massa. The rest of these speculations are garbage in my opinion.

That video is awesome but needs to be slowed down a bit.

 

"My mind" and "normal person" does not equate...sort of like mixing bull sh##*t with strawberrys&cream

you guys hear about this

Yeah, tragedy...and she was going only about 30-40mph...sort of makes U realize how lucky Massa is to B alive!

Heard about it from another source, didn't know she lost an eye. That's terrible/sad news indeed.

 

Yes, I think the Sauber Super Squad is akin to the Super Aguri Best Friends.

 

In regards to Vettel going to Ferrari, I have a tough time believing that he'd be on his way there as soon as 2014, but unless RBR locks him up to some kind of long term extension, then he's going to be there just about the minute that Ferrari has their ish figured out, and Vettel us up for another extension. Plain and simple, Ferrari never stays down for long, so I personally believe that Vettel is just waiting for the right time to switch. If he does, then Schumacher's 7 WDC record may be in jeopardy.

 

Well, those who abysmal conditions, weren't they? Friday practice was a joke and qualifying was not much better. The lads all showed good stuff in spite of rain and standing water. Must say that Alonso surprised me. I thought Webber had the pole for sure. Schumi put his rain skills to good work to ****** 3rd on the grid. Poor Jenson could not even make it past Q1. What is going on with him right now? It will be interesting to see if the we have a rain race tomorrow. They always produce unpredictable results.

 

doesn't look like RB has a distinct advantage in the wet. should be a really good race if it's wet

 

Wth, Maldo involved in another incident. Maybe that one win got him thinking he's a better driver than he really is.
