Piquet to Manor?

LOL .. big mistake..

 

What was a big mistake? Vizsla getting the call or you going to the moon for your R&R?

All the best,
Andrew.

 

Oh don't you start Andy I've got my hands full with Viz...

It's lovely up here I found a bit of water...

 

I'll try to keep myself under control.

Oh excellent. Anywhere near Neil and Buzz's footprints? Actually, I got to meet both of them and shake their hands when I was younger. They were doing a talk about their moon walk for school children. It wasn't widely publicised or anything; they were just being nice.

All the best,
Andrew.

 

Formula 1 sponsor Virgin has dismissed any suggestion that it could play a part in helping Nelson Piquet back to the sport - after rumours that the Brazilian could be on the shortlist for the new Manor Grand Prix team.

Virgin is set to take title sponsorship of Manor for the start of next season and comments made by team owner John Booth about Piquet were interpreted by some to suggest that the Brazilian could make an F1 comeback with the new team.

However, Alex Tai, the Virgin board member responsible for group sponsorship who is set to become team boss when the lifestyle brand confirms its involvement with Manor, made it clear in Singapore on Friday that his company would never be associated with a driver who had broken the rules.

Speaking to AUTOSPORT in the paddock, Tai said he was not in a position to confirm Virgin's future relationship with Manor – but said that Piquet could never be associated with the brand.

"We will make our plans known after the end of the season," said Tai. "I don't believe it is professional to in any way talk about our plans while we are sponsoring another team this year, namely Brawn - who happen to be leading both championships and who I personally believe will win the championships.

"However, what I can say, is that as a director of the main board of Virgin, I can assure you that we would never have anybody in a team sponsored by us who cheats."

 

Quite!

Smashing into the armco.
Smashing into other cars.
Smashing a car for no reason at all (other than an egotistical Italian with a penchant for pasta and supermodels tells him to)...

+1 Max will be behind this chump getting another ride in F1

 

Found a bit of water.
Where?
Surely not in your glass.

Spitefully & Jealously Yours,
David

 

Despite his retarded move,I want to see him be competitive.Just because I really dont wanna see the son of a 3x WDC go to ****.Or drive like it for that matter.

 

That ship has sailed.

 

I thought I had read that before somewhere... just can't remember where

 

Great minds and all that?

 

Yet im sure a man of your intelligence cannot doubt,that if NPJ can somehow not only find a way back on the grid,but find a way to win,people will jump on the bandwagon.This might be a little TOO huge to forget,but in due time it will be forgiven.Maybe not by all,but by those who matter.

 

Matter to whom?
If what you're saying that F1 has gotten so amoral and so venal you may have a point, but where does that leave us, the fans?

 

Yes i know that mind needs to be over here you cant go wrong in the fluff department

 

Sound like someone's up past their bed time

 

thats really cool!thats someone i would really love to meet

 

More like 75% off!

 

Well I agree with that completely.

 

The way I said it makes it seem like the fans dont matter at all,and for that I apologize.I meant board directors and other administrative powers.Most fans WILL,as I said before,jump on the bandwagon if he shows his skill is he hass done in prior series.I think he can get it done without daddy's help,if he lets his sack drop.

 

Jr. has had more redos in F1 then he's earned already. I doubt that his stock was high before Crashgate, At this point his only way back is too bring a lot of money to a needy team.
IMO no driver with any prospects elsewhere would ever have agreed to deliberately crash.
It may be that many "fans" would accept him if he returned a winner. But we'll never know because that isn't going to happen.

 

I thought you actually poo-poo'ed my thoughts and said PK was all about spite.

But in my old age I am probably forgetting much

 

Don't believe I poo pooed. But I did say that Jr. acted out of spite, not that precludes other motivations as well. Or motivations of others involved.

Must have been some other devilishly handsome old fa*t.

 

Or maybe free! Depends how good his new manager is.

 

Virgin would never sponsor him, maybe "Gay Men's Magazine"!

 

He should be banished from F1.
