VIZSLA hasn't posted here in a while either but is active. Did he just get tired of what was going on? Kraftwerk? He hasn't logged in since before Christmas.
Good to see you drop in. This forum misses the insights of both you and Kraftwerk. It will be interesting to see how Liberty Media affects the show, now that they are in charge. Hopefully, it won't be another case of a VC firm taking apart a business model, selling off the best parts of it for profit, and leaving a steaming carcass behind.
The best parts are the race itself. I don't know what the carcass would be. Good to see Vizsla post again. Wonder what Krafty is up to ? Apparently we all bailed on the F1 section more or less the same time. Ian helped keep us all (more or less ) sane.
Krafty didn't bail, he got banned and simply hasn't returned. Not all of us are teary eyed about that
It wasn't just an opposing opinion though. There were some of us, me included, that he continually poked, pushed, and cajoled, with no intention of having any discussion, simply to evoke a reaction and argument. It was one of the reasons the whole section got so horrible at one time, and he overstepped the mark time and again.
+1 It's sad to say, but it happened after his brain tumour. Before it, we didn't agree on much but he respected others opinion. After that he got to be the angriest guy on here I reckon. He never returned after his (lengthy) ban. It's sad because, despite our differing opinions, we remained respectful and enjoyed each others insight.
As someone who observed it with no skin in the game, it looked like both sides were both pretty even on tweaking each other. Just saying. I still think a lot of the stuff you say about Hamilton is not accurate or relevant to a lot of discussions, but I don't care. I'm not some monument to justice ; )
We certainly were in the end, Fchat is full of alphas, so it's rare we like to back down if attacked!
This I'm not a Hamilton fan but the ridiculous disrespect he gets here makes me actually wanna root for him. It was the exact same thing with Seb while driving for RB and Fred while at Renault. I realize this is a Ferrari site but c'mon. More objectivity would behoove some posters in here. No driver lucks into so many WDCs and victories etc
Totally agree. Everyone has an opinion and it's nice to be able to express it without being ridiculed. Educated discussion is better than name calling and putting people down.
Difficult to know where to break it off so that the discussion in both threads makes sense, but I had a go. All the best, Andrew.
Good to see some posts from you! Maybe the new regulations next year will rekindle some interest? All the best, Andrew.
I'm with you man. I used to love F1. Now I just go through the motions. I'm not even watching the races. After this year I'm not sure I'll attend any more either.
+1 Happy to see Vizsla post again. Wish Krafty would be still on here. Fahrn, fahrn, fahrn auf der Autobahn.
I must say, Krafty vs Aircon were to notch for me...they looked so much like those old guys from the muppet show..they were hilarious...and i miss them both!!
We'll have to do our best to present ourselves respectfully so that he doesn't look out of place. All the best, Andrew.
