The F1 Thread

Think this will pretty unequivocally be a one off. Amazed it got waved through in the first place.

 

[Kenny]

But Bernie wants it in the final 3 races though.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

He's looked a right doddery old prick the last two times Brundle has interviewed him pre-race. Hopefully they bundle him off somewhere after Abu Dhabi (or leave him over there with no phone or Internet)

 

[Nando]

He's shitting it I'd imagine. I can't see his bosses being happy with teams dropping out and threatening to boycott races.

In a Hello/OK Magazine type F1 Announcement - Christian Horner announces engagement to Geri Halliwell.

I never realised but Horner ditched his wife and newborn baby for her:

Looks like Seb's not the only one at Red Bull whose judgement's gone west this year. (Plus, didn't she used to be a muff diver, or have I imagined that?)

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

She wasn't particularly discriminatory. Pulse was only optional.

Sky reckon Caterham will race in Abu Dhabi. Not sure to what end as they aren't due any prize money unless they miraculously (and we are talking Leon Clarke outscoring Ronaldo this season miraculously) get points in this race?

 

[Kenny]

More a case of proving they are good to go next season

Won't they suddenly become 10th if Marussia don't turn up, meaning that they get an extra howevermanymillion from being 10th rather than 11th?

 

[Nando]

They forfeit the prize money due to missing the last two races I think.

 

[Law's Bus]

They forfeit the prize money due to missing the last two races I think.

Nah, apparently all teams are allowed to miss up to three races per season.

 

[Nando]

Ah ok.

I'm close to ditching the whole thing in now, I've never felt so disenchanted about the sport. Bernie's comments today are an absolute fucking disgrace.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

The sooner Bernie pops off and that whole CVC thing gets wiped, the better. Bernie is an awful man.

Ecclestone looks like he is binning double points next season. While slagging the teams for not allowing him to do it for three races, which would have been even more fucking stupid.

Worst case of Napoleon syndrome since the wallpaper on St Helena did its job.

 

[Kenny]

If the F1 Title is decided based on double points for 1 season and nothing more it becomes even more of a shambles than it currently appears.

 

[Kenny]

Lotus keep Grosjean for next season

Bianchi out of coma, but still critical / unconscious.
