I never go for the usual results, always the long shots. Maybe one day i'll be right

 

Don't be shy then: you could predict Grosjean winning on the Haas!!

That really would be an upset !!!

Remember Schekter winning the first race with the Wolf?

People had never heard of the car ...

EDIT; I just had a look at the timetable on Bernie's site. (It'll display in your local time in addition to Aus time) I guess I'd forgotten what a 'sociable' time it runs at for me Very cool.

Gee some of you guys are optimists!

Merc 1-2 for everything.

I hope I'm wrong.

 

DeNial my favorite river!!

 

"Hope springs eternal." Particularly after leading the time sheets all thru testing......

I guess so does pretty much everyone here....

lol...yep

well..maybe not EVERYONE

 

Indeed. Which is fine of course.

I think logical & rational arguments for anyone are at least pretty well tolerated.

It's smugness & gloating that pisses me off.

Cheers,
Ian

 

what sort of good sport would ever do that? Please point it out if you ever see that happen!

 

Actually, I've learnt that 'ignore' really is my friend.....

Cheers,
Ian

 

So you're not reading this?

There's a lot of hype here about the GP this year. No idea why...but it's more than usual.

 

Interesting.

Someone maybe getting their marketing act together.....

[By 'here' I assume you mean Aus, not this forum, right?]

Cheers,
Ian
