I'm not sorry for him, even I used to be a great fan of the driver.
I just wonder how can people be so dumb, as I just heard the story of Verstappen punching a boy with his father on a karting track.

If he really tried to kill her, sure, he has to pay. Exactly like the J.J. Letho case.



First JJ and now Jos. Johnny Herbert must feel uncomfortable about what might happen to him. All of them has their first name starting with letter "J" also.


But I know what it's all about. It's Flavio, isn't it? He's behind JJ's and Jos' actions, he made them do it or staged them just to make Michael look better after two dreadful seasons after his comeback.

Yes, I caught you, Flavio. We can all clearly see the patern over here. Michael makes a comeback in 2010, bad season, then Lehto (his original team mate at Benetton) does his thing. In 2011, Michael isn't any better, Jos Verstappen goes on rampage (Michael's 2nd team mate). This year, 2012, if Michael keeps under-performing, what do you think happens for Johnny, who was his 3rd team mate during that season? /sarcastic-joke(ish)

China and Korea GP will be replaced by GP of East Barhein, GP of West Bahrein, GP of North Bahrein, GP of North-North-East Bahrein, GP of Brunei, GP of North Qatar, GP of South Qatar, GP of Middle Qatar!


Also we get GP of Dubai, GP of Ajman, GP of Fujairah, GP of Sharjah, GP of Ras-al-Khaimah and GP of Umm-a-Quwain.

(Abu Dhabi has a GP so other emirates of UAE want their own as well)

If Micheal has another bad season or even worse he's gonna have to plant some inappropriate pictures on Irvine's computer and inform the press.
Then implicate Rubens in an axe murder or something...

Looks as if Richie Stanaway may be announced as Lotus Renaults reserve driver or have some role with the team

I think he's a good driver. Probably not great but deserves his place in F1. But I doubt he's the right guy at the right time for Williams. Maybe only financial.

Not the best driver, but not the worst of paying drivers.

Problem is Williams needs money, and I don't know if Sutil is $-heavier than Senna.
Even the association Senna-Williams would be a bit "emotional", I still think Sutil deserves a seat a bit more than Senna.

Is Bruno trying to follow Ayrton's foot steps or what? haha. Hopefully not exactly the same footsteps though, touch wood. In all serious though hes certainly worthy in my view and I'm quite sure he will deliver some surprising results.

Alguersuari has allegedly turned down an offer from HRT:
http://www1.skysports.com/formula-1/new ... -no-to-HRT

Quote:
Jaime Alguersuari has reportedly turned down an offer to drive for HRT this year, saying it would be a backward step.

The Spaniard was left without a Formula One race-seat after being dropped by Toro Rosso in a move that shocked many in the F1 community, including the driver himself.

Alguersuari's axing immediately sparked rumours that Spanish team HRT could be his next destination as he bids to remain in the sport.

However, according to Spanish daily AS, Alguersuari has "definitely" ruled out HRT as it is "considered a step backwards in his career."

Alguersuari is instead looking to become a third driver with one of the top teams with McLaren-Mercedes named in the article.

Helmut Marko told Italian media that Buemi & Alguersuari are good grand prix drivers, but not winners. Had enough chances to prove themselves.

Yeah cus they sure could have won in that car!! Honestly I don't know what else they could have proven in the machinery they were given. Sounds like a copout by Marko to justify replacing them, god he's a cocksucker.

Can't imagine Marko expected them to win races but perhaps he was expecting them to outperform the car and get more points than they did.

It's still pretty harsh, other than in the wet I don't recall Vettel doing anything amazing in the Toro Rosso, and no ones doubting his talent.

Interesting. I've been there twice and never thought it was 'poor'.

The only problem that Spa has, like so many other F1 tracks, is that the government will not pay (or not pay enough) to host the race.

I said "relatively". Obviously Belgium doesn't have people starving on the streets but still they can't compete with other places who can afford to give Bernie loads money.

If you think I'm exaggerating, there are people on atlas saying that only Monaco and Germany should remain in F1.

PS: Belgian members don't get me wrong, your country is a lovely place
PS2: if Senna really takes Williams seat, I'll feel sorry for Sutil as he recovered very well to remain in F1

The Flemish part of Belgium has a lot more money than the Wallonian part. Spa is in the Wallonian part. So if you look at it that way, Artur Craft is right.

But if you look at it that way, Spain is more poor than Belgium and they have 2 races...

Williams going from bad to worse, first one mediocre pay driver and then two mediocre pay drivers. How do they expect to dig themselves out of this hole if they keep going down this route?
