    Pedro,

    Even if I remember perfectly well the comedia dell'arte in Italy with Fernando's comments in Italian on the radio, and him avidly looking at the Red Bull in Hungary, I had no idea that his position was already really in jeopardy at this time.
    What I found interesting in Nigel Roebuck's comment about Vettel having signed his letter of intent in June is that it proves that it is not only the new management at Ferrari that took the decision to get rid of Fernando: with the letter having been signed in June, it proves that the end of Fernando's contract was already in Luca's plans...

    For someone calling himself "reasonable" and "logical" you do a lot of dreadful mistakes in your line of arguing. Maybe the problem of us "others" is not the lack of ability to be logical but the lack of ability to follow YOUR "logic". So there is absolutely no need to be presumptuous on your side ;)

    lol.

    In all fairness, Krafty has never been an annoying ****tard and use terrible statistics or own rules judging how ****ing awesome Hamilton is or isn't. Toil has found a way to make just about every single thread in the last 4 months solely about Hamilton. It got old about a week in when he got here, and it's now damn tiring. I've no idea what he does on this forum, no one likes or wants him here. He's said multiple times he would take time outs and re-evaluate his postings, only to come back and be just as annoying as he always has been. He adds little to no value, unless one considers having the hamilton bummers bible thrown at you at every single thread is value.

    I really hope Toil will move on sooner rather than later and find lewishamiltonisking.com as his new home.

    I've never had any issue with members favouring a driver more over the other, it's normal and just about anyone on here has disagreed with someone at some point. I don't think anyone agrees with Toil with any measurable point of regularity.

    Or, he's just a sad 22 year old with no friends who gets enjoyment reading about how everyone doesn't like him on a daily basis.

    My opinion is that the forum is by far better of without him.

    There we go. Another thread almost certainly ruined by bickering about Toil. Perhaps a vote should be held whether he should be banned or not.

    I concur 100%. I tried to contain it to 1 thread and it just keeps spreading like a plague.

    We should vote to change his name from toil to "uncontrollable outbreak"

    This has absolutely nothing to do with "Lewis-Fanboy", we do not even talk about LH here. I just find it ridiculous if someone is always pointing out how logical and reasonable he is compared to others and at the same time he is posting muddled stuff. What is logical about the assumption Alonso would just walk into the Honda devolepment centre being shown everything as long as he is still employee at Ferrari? And this is just one of this flashes of genius in the last days, not to mention the countless incoherent statistics and conclusions taken from wikipedia.
    Be honest Kraftwerk: if he would not support LH you would be the first to comment his posts...

    Krafty may some 'issues' ;) - his head did explode a while back after all - but no 'problems' with him having a different viewpoint to others and/or his support of Hammy. All a part of the fun. But;

    While I tend to agree, I guess as long as he doesn't attack anyone personally, he's free to continue posting his BS. In every single thread. No matter the subject. All the time. Which to me is trolling. But as long as the mods don't see it that way, I'll just leave him on ignore and hope fewer folk deign to quote his BS, thereby forcing me to read it...... Ignore really is your friend.... These folk thrive on getting a response. Ignore, and they'll eventually move along.

    Back on topic.

    Limited to 100 klicks camera shoot but still great news to see the engine mated with the test mule.

    Looking fwd to see Fred in the McLaren with Honda power. Awesome combo.

    Yes fair enough. I have him on ignore but unfortunately, as you say, a lot of his posts slip through because his crap keeps getting quoted.

    Suppose we have to live with him unless a moderator wants to unleash his inner dictator and just ban him for the good of the forum ;).

    Tricky one fer sure, however I feel I would reply/retort to the said poster in a manner in which I would consider is on a level to said poster, now whether or not that person should take up limbo dancing (as in things go over their head is another matter), but as I have said before I'am not a person of let's say for want of a better word, "a gang mentality mind set" because of this reason, it is a somewhat juxtaposition to me, this question.

    In all seriousness life is too short for bitterness and I know that only too well, so IMO everyone is entitled to have an opinion, rightly or wrongly, and it wouldn't do for all of us to agree all of the time, (no point in having a forum) and to me it's seems Toil has given some mileage in this respect bandwidth wise, either that be for the good or the bad, it's debatable, so yet leading to more debate... strange as it maybe ..;)

    So to summarize, I may try considering a career in politics, because it comes natural to me evading question's hahaha..:)

    What is his level, calling others "looser"??? Don´t be blinded by polished words, in between the lines (and someone more directly) he calls us stupid not being able to analyze simple facts and follow logical line of reasoning like he does.
    You are right that everyone has a right for an own opinion but the way he goes in offence with most of the other members over here certainly should be looked after. I know that this forum is not very strict in moderation, in others he would have been warned long time ago for sure...

    True that in the F1 forum rules are less strict.

    Also the indirect insult is tolerated (eg. all Vettel fans are idiots).

    So technically nothing to intervene here

    It has always been part of the plan for Seb to end up in a red car as Michael financed the early part of his career..

    Agree! I don't like how his Ferrari term ended, but he is still a fantastic driver who will elevate the McLaren team. We will basically end up with top-shelf drivers on: Ferrari, Mercedes, Red Bull and McLaren.

    To me, that is a FANTASTIC spread of the top talent. If you can get all four of those cars relatively equal in performance, we'd have a great championship next year.

    Again, I don't blame Alonso for leaving. He has a shorter window to get another title and most likely that wasn't going to happen with Ferrari. One of the best drivers on the grid (if not THE best) should be able to win a title to cement his legacy. (although the Scuderia needs to get it together quickly. If Vettel would leave Red Bull in the middle of their only down season in 5 years, I don't think the leash is very long for Ferrari)
