    You really have lost the plot.

    While you could excuse Ferrari for bringing Kimi back in the first place, extending his contract was a total joke. And you'd extend it further?!?!

    I'm beginning to wonder if you are, in fact, a Ferrari fan at all. :p

    I know I'm wasting my breath because Moretti has me on ignore, but FFS, you're kidding aren't you?

    Alonso qualifying 5th says huge amounts about Alonso's breathtaking talent, not competing drivers.

    Hamilton is an arrogant prima donna who stays within his "safe place". Ever see him at ROC? No, because Vettel would dust him. Ever see him on a bike like Schumi did? Same story.

    One of the Indy drivers had the perfect response, actually.

    Also if John followed Alonso's Indy effort he would learn that he did huge hours on the simulator, even continuing after he started real track work. Every day in the morning he would spend every possible second on the simulator and then go straight to the track to do more laps.

    So yes he did not have a lot of time for preparation but Alonso put a huge amount of effort in and listened to all the advise he could obtain.

    IMO F1 will only improve once Lewis decides to become a junkie and piss off.

    Stewart tips Vettel to beat Hamilton in 2017



    F1 legend Sir Jackie Stewart has tipped Sebastian Vettel to win a fifth world championship in 2017.

    So far in 2017, the title battle has been a two-team, two-driver scrap between Ferrari's Vettel and Lewis Hamilton of Mercedes.

    Stewart told Sport Bild: "Sebastian has more experience and is calmer than Lewis.

    "It will be difficult for Lewis to turn it around because Vettel is so hungry to succeed again."

    Another former F1 driver, Marc Surer, agreed: "Vettel is someone who is discouraged by a bad car, but when he has a good car, he is incredible.

    "Also, with his family-driven lifestyle, he has fewer fluctuations than Hamilton."

    I'm reading this book at the moment, what an amazing story. If you want an inside understanding of the Indy 500, this is fantastic. It's edge_of_your_seat exciting too.

    Once they lose McLaren they are screwed, might as well walk away.

    I have had a axe to grind with honda for a decade, waited a long long time for them to hit rock bottom, the way they treated V.Rossi and KTM, they can go and get stuffed!

    Paul said it best: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFjipHis4gs

    Just as well they can win the Postie Cup, because they aint winning much else!

    cool. will definitely read this.

    i remember that race and that year, the loophole allowing the 1000BHP pushrod Merc engine developed in 6 months, to only run that single race at the 500!
