quote:F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone, meanwhile, has confirmed "everything is being sorted" as he plays his part in ensuring the grid does not fall to nine teams and 18 cars next season. ...it wouldn't, even with RBR leaving, not with HAAS coming onboard? or did I miss something? or are autosport just retarded Never mind, think I just answered my own question. Can't summon any amount of excitement for watching quali/race coverage for this one, I'm finally going to break free of the burden of this sport. I'm going to check the results out online Sunday evening and spend the time not watching the coverage doing something far more enlightening, like sticking forks in plug sockets or clawing my eyeballs out with toothpicks.

It's a shame VW got caught scamming diesel efficiency or whatever they did wrong right now. The only clear match for the Red Bull and Torro Rosso is the mighty charging bull! ...wait, prancing bull? raging bull? Whatever they call it, it's a bull in some state of motion, and it should provide the biggest fraud team and their farm team with engines.

It looks like the bull is in the process of tripping and falling over. (Then bursting into flame)

Red Bull Lamborghini would produce some great brand synergy. Lambo can live up to their proud history of producing terrible F1 engines and Red Bull can live up to their proud history of complaining about their engine partner.

Just wait until we are nostalgic for this era of F1 cars. Closed cockpits and 18 inch wheels are going to be a disaster.

Is it naive of me to assume that Bernie will throw his weight around and magically RBR will have an engine for 2016?

Odd how the moment Bernie needs to show how invaluable he is to the sport to potential new buyers an enormous crisis that only he can solve comes along.

VW wouldn't announce participation mere months before they would be expected to have an engine, irrespective of all the 'secret planning' they may or may not have done.

The plan was to buy out RB and use Ferrari engines while they developed their own engine, which would have been ready by 2018.

My god, this guy is just so socially autistic he just looks awkward no matter what he does. Maybe having his childhood moulded by his father and Ron seriously stumped his mental development, kind of like Michael Jackson. I don't think Ive ever seen a more awkward picture of him.. no wait....

Or he's driving through a Moscow park in October and his hands are cold so he put one in a pocket to warm it up for a bit There's plenty of things to take this piss out of Lewis for, that photo is pretty ordinary

To be honest it's more the deeply unimpressed woman who looks like she's segwaying off in a huff after an argument he has just lost while he tries to look all casual like, that makes him look silly.

I admire that Lewis is living life the way he wants to. I would respect him less if he just tried to be the next James Hunt, Damon Hill or whoever else British retards think is cool.

He shows off his shoes "hey guys have you seen my shoes? they're really light, they've got carbon fiber" And no, its not run by a PR guy as snapchat kind of requires active use by the person posting the content (at least for videos).
