I wanted to be open and honest. I failed.
This is fantastic narcissistic self-serving spin. "I was trying so hard not to lie! It was my highest goal, I worked at it daily, to the point of exhaustion! But I came up short. I aimed too high. I couldn't not lie. I flew up to the sun and my wax wings melted. I just wish I had more support from you guys in my noble goals. Ennui." Ron proves that he's still the most masterful team principle.

Monisha has shown herself to be the crooked incompetent Indian lawyer everyone expects.
You'd think the Indians would be better at fraud. They had tutoring for like 150 years from the British on that.

Absolutely nothing. And it's going to be fun if an idiot court orders Sauber to run all 3 of them.

I love Formula One. All this story needs is for Bernie to find some self serving "solution" to the problem and it'll be perfect.

Why do I mention this? Because MARTIN WHITMARSH has just been hired to run the company due to a recommendation by Adrian.

alright?
Ron Dennis admitting fault and apologizing makes me really uncomfortable, more than any of the other bullshit currently in F1

Ron Dennis should never apologize.

The WDC can choose One or his own number. ARE LEWIS chose his own number.
Teams have to provide three cars if they are only eight teams on grid.

Dudley posted:

Yep, short version, it happens if we lose Manor and Sauber.

Now, better question, I don't know if it kicks in straight away or only at the start of a season.

Riso posted:

Start of a season. Horny Horner said a single car costs 30-40 mill. Even if we lost both teams however, thanks to HAAS F1, 2016 will have nine teams.

Thanks both :) didn't know Hamilton had opted for his own number over taking '1'... #humble #blessed

He probably worded it in such a way as to appear to be apologising to the common man, but dig deeper into the words and their meaning and he's probably actually telling everyone smugly to gently caress off

Ron Dennis should be fired into the sun and immediately replaced by Flavio ‘Sex Bomb’ Briatore. That’s the only way to make Mclaren slightly tolerable.
