Everyone of us is a sperg except for you. You also have an unhealthy obsession with Claire Williams. I diagnose lack of bunga-bunga because of an ugly wife.

Deep in the depths of a 2013 independent interview I found the name of a boyfriend: Andrew.

She should have thought about that children thing 10 years ago. By now the only option is adoption.

Right, but they made a poo poo car in 09 and it took them less then half a season to turn it into the best(ish) car. The last few years in season development has been crap. Besides whose saying Mclaren are dead? I just think it sounds like you have too much faith in a quick turnaround.
The '09 car never became the best car. They fixed the major problems with the chassis, taking it from terrible to average. Once they did that their Mercedes- KERS advantage was enough make the overall package a contender at the power circuits. When they visited circuits that put a high demand on the chassis/aero, they still struggled.

Supposedly Renault wants a French driver and that could mean Pastor's out and JEV's in.

Good luck trying that Pierre. We've got employment laws in this country. You can't fire a hard working, long-term employee and replace him with someone of your own nationality.

Pastor might lose his seat if PDVSA drops the sponsorship and Ferrari doesn't offer him a contract.

alright?
Driver's suits are so lame compared to Rider's suits. I remember noticing that when I first started watching F1 but I had forgotten. Rider's are superheros, drivers just try to not catch fire.

Yeah maybe, I'm more interested in the tech and engineering rather than the personalities in F1. It's a bit of a laugh really, I don't get emotionally invested in all the poo poo that goes on.

Pastor breaks $50M in aero parts every year, so he's still a net liability. I wouldn't be surprised if Renault drop him.

He's also not bringing in any more money now that the people have taken back Venezuela from the capitalist dog whores.
