Bernie has let rip into Merc and Ferrari -

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/35059767

Ferrari have already issued legal proceedings to try and stop him doing any changes, which indicates if he actually did try anything at all they would take the matter to court. But he thinks that "I think if we went to arbitration, we'd win easy", so looks like F1 legal wars are coming this winter.

Also he says F1 is partially poo poo thanks to Nico being poo poo and if Merc had 2 drivers of equal ability it "would probably be a lot better".

Really does indicate a very feisty few months. Question is how many times are Ferrari going to throw their dummy out the pram this time.

If she had good taste she would've tried seducing Nelson Piquet instead.

quote:

McLaren is not about to go public and speculation that this is the plan is simply that. The story comes from some Ron Dennis quotes that have been extrapolated to a crazy extent by a website that has a habit of making huge guesses and then forgetting the guesses that don’t work out. We could all do this, but what’s the point? People eventually work out that it is all guesswork and they then trust the source less and ultimately they don’t bother to visit anymore, no matter how thrilling the headline may sound. So why would a website owner waste all that effort? Why not try to do the job properly and get off one’s backside and go to some races and try to become a credible F1 source, rather than a bottom-feeder? Of course it’s hard to do it, which is why only the best make it.

Amazing how they were so close and now he can't even say that Nico prompted him to ride a unicycle in the first place. What petulance.

Unsurprising given how much a shitshow they have been this year - car didn't work at all bar 2? laps in testing, then customs issues and then the cars failed scrutineering in the next race. A team truly worth the poo poo name that is Trulli.

Pick a old race time chaps/ladies.

I'll do a youtube link sunday afternoon (or could be later depending on what you pick). 70s/80s/90s/early 2000s, basically anything before Sky got the rights for fairly obvious reasons.

edit: if no one picks then I'll choose something a random spa race from the mid 80s because you cant go wrong with spa.
