Sid's View. An ongoing conversation about what's right and wrong with F1 and the world.

Bloody good idea..... can I give him a list? It’s a lot less expensive than giving a similar list to timebomb

Just make sure we have the fchat virus antidote available please (well, for most of us, there’s a few here on The List too!). Hehe

 

Absolutely. Guess there may be a few ears burning around here right now eh? Hahahahahaha

If elton was a member here, he’d be well advised to hire someone to taste his lunch from now on hehe

 

So let someone do something about it, but that doesn’t mean tiny contributors to the problems like Ferrari drivers and F1 racing should be penalised while these environmental protesters expect us to use clean energy, yet all the while moan about nuclear power and expect us to use bloody wind. Unless they are going to round up all obese people, chain them in a line and force feed them baked beans, they will never generate enough wind to power the world..... (but that would be bloody funny to see though, long as you have a gas mask on)

 

Okay, I think I have the solution. We ban petrol and diesel in the developing countries, and force them to use electric vehicles powered by nuclear power stations, which we build as a test bed for our own new stations that will follow later. The developing countries won’t moan, cos they have transport and most of their travelling is actually productive for work, moving supplies, building their countries, they won’t miss sports cars and lifestyle vehicles becuase they are a pipe dream at the moment, they just need transport.

When we’ve proved beyond doubt that nuclear power is safe and trustworthy (not that we haven’t already, one or two disasters don’t make the hundreds of stations redundant to anyone expect vehement enviro-nutters) then we can roll out the nuclear stations on a massive scale, thus removing coal and gas from the electrical production grid. Let the wind power enthusiasts keep their wind to keep them happy, but now you have a power grid capable of supporting the mass introduction of electric vehicles if that’s what you want, but also, now the world has a lot less carbon in the atmosphere, we can keep our clean petrol vehicles if we like, and it won’t kill any more polar bears nor eskimos! Problem solved, Sid for President!

 

Great start to the second part of the season today, and we should be celebrating, but we still have to catch and beat donut and the merc cheating crew yet. Ferrari have to look at how they performed today and make sure that they continue in that fashion, we need plenty of wins in the next few races to turn the title over, and Kimi could do with a little luck and pick up a few second places along the way too to keep elton back in the points.

This could go to the wire still this year, the ferrari is fast but not yet the fastest.... proven in the speed traps today, 9 clicks down on the Mercedes. It still takes a driver with skill to get the car home in the lead.

 

Alonso was actually offered a red bull drive, despite horners outward denials, according to a friend of mine at mclaren, it was big news amongst his engineers, but apparently Alonso didn’t want, and didn’t believe, in Honda anymore, but also he saw the opportunity for Sainz instead as Alonso’s deal was a one year plus option only, and he didn’t want to switch to Honda and have them **** him over, also the max issue with max being team number one would for the first time make him the contracted number two! He’ll make money long term for sainz rather than a swan song year - he wanted in at red bull when they were still challengers but he doesn’t see them being so within the year

Ferrari definately have a car this second half, but there’s still a top speed differential which we are giving away due to our performance in the corners and level of downforce we can generate. I’d like to think we could win most of not all the last few GPS, but our Achilles heel is still the strategies..... hope we sort them out. This weekend, Vettel’s strategy was spot on, but they still managed to basically forget Kimi along the way in qualifying, unforgivable to let him out with too little fuel in the car.... a joke. Poor chap is driving out his skin, he could have locked out row two, maybe even got pole, but for that Q2 error....

 

Fix it again Tony - sorry, I don’t understand?

 

Thanks buddy...... I must be getting jaded to not realise that!

 

Now you come to mention it, normally that’s exactly what holds me back

 

No, we use our resources and are constantly cleaning up our act with emissions targets and all this recycling ******** they try to force on us. I don’t care if my tv is on standby and has a little light that cost 20pence a year to run.... leave me alone.

The third world and China produce hundreds of times the pollution of any other area, you sort them out, I’ll take you seriously. Until then, I’ll keep throwing my carrier bags in the bin every time, leaving the lights on, leaving the hottub to run 24/7/365 and driving lovely big engined sports cars without using the stupid stop/start ******** tech, making sure to hold the gears as much as I want to accelerate quicker. You can keep your G-Wizz or Nissan Limp, or whatever it is you want the world to drive
