RE: ~Formula 1 Thread~
I am thrilled Kimi won since Lewis will probably take the next 8 Championships. That is unless Marco Andretti makes the jump 
. Though, I do like that fact that Alonso and Lewis both have claimed that the Appeal of the BMW/Williams fuel issue is a joke and that the championship should be decided on track, and not in a small courtroom. Let the silly season begin! Alsono back to Renault, Barichello to Toyota, Sutil to Honda, Ralphie without a drive!... let's get some contracts signed!

Oh i'm looking forward to next year (talk about wishing your life away) Alonso with Renault...now that is going to be fun...look out for his toys flying out of that pram!
I think Ralph S was always going to live in a shadow and so maybe his best role would be as a test driver
Also i'm interested to see how Kubica and Kovalinnen get on as they both look to be promising drivers.
Sounds like your an F1 buff too....let's look forward to another stupendous season.

RE: ~Formula 1 Thread~
So I was talking to my sister (who was a crew-chief in the Koni Challenge and also crewed a Rolex car this year) about the constant name change for the old Jordan team. I remember Jordan, Spyker, and now Force India (easy ride for Narhain Karthekayen if I've ever seen one). I just can't remember what the team was called the season before last. Help! It's driving me nutty!

Ok,i'm bumping this thread back up during the F1 off season not to give driver line ups but to let you all know that Lewis Hamilton is about to face his biggest challenge this year!
LEWIS vs THE STIG!!!
I'm sure a lot of you American guys watch Top Gear and know what i'm on about....well Lewis is going to be taking the "resonably priced car" around the test track and obviously he must be looking to beat the Stig's time.Now i'm not sure if you get Top Gear at the same time or whether your a week behind.....but in the UK it'll be broadcast in about 22 hrs.
As you may be able to tell...i'm quite looking forward to it,should be an entertaining episode.

no one knows who the stig is, but he isn't an F1 driver, they've has many F1 drivers on there before and you can tell the difference in the line he takes.

My personal belief is that more often than not, it's Damon Hill. Wikipedia has some good info about this...

Just had a read of Wiki,quite a good read.
Lmao.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Stig
Clarkson then described The Stig as having a very small brain, who had worthless opinions, a disorder described by Clarkson as "Mansell Syndrome".

Yep,F.Alonso is no longer a part of the Mclaren team
http://www.canada.com/topics/sports/...tml?id=5345846
There was rumours that he was going to Honda alongside J.Button but Honda have now named their drivers (as above).The only option for Alonso is now Renault but he is trying to dictate a one year contract and Flavio will have none of that!
I think the trouble is that Alonso thinks he is bigger than the sport....and if he's not careful he may find himself without a seat for next year!

hey guys, time for some more F1!! I was dissapointed that raikonnen didnt make the last 5 laps, he was going so well, when he headed towards 2nd place, terrible race, tons of people out. Any news or expectations for next week? I think Alonso's not going to be strong this season, but hamilton will be out there for the championship.

hi 5 for a fellow iceman fan
i cant stand alanso
i think the battle will be between lewis and kimi. if kimi can stay reliable then id say he has a good chance at keeping the tittle cause lewis will make some more noob mistakes.

RE: ~Formula 1 Thread~
definitely, ferrari and mclaren all the way this year, heikki is doing fairly good too, im suprised. Ferrari front row sounds nice to me, and Mclaren is losing 5 starting positions each! and alonso is dead in 9th, lol
