WOW! I learn something new about F1 every day!

So it's official then:

https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/ricciardo-the-best-overtaker-on-the-grid/4304935/amp/

“And ever since he got in a Red Bull car he’s done nothing but overtake, and arguably has become the best overtaker in the business" - Mr. Spice

 

Maybe vettle could stop choking on HAMilton sandwiches long enough to take lessons from the great Riccardo.

 

Was it RosbergLettuce in his sandwiches when Elton got beat by the number two at Mercedes?

 

I believe the favored dish for Merc that year was NICOise salad. Fine Finnish Tuna. No Ham.

 

NIÇOise.

 

fasçist

 

Are you calling me a fascist?

 

Nico is German, not Finnish.

 

Nico’s a German citizen, but is half-Finnish obviously by virtue of his father Keke.

 

He considers himself German. Most people adopt the nationality of their citizenship rather than their birth country, if the two are different.

 

In Nico’s case, he was born in Germany where his mother’s from.

 

So, he's like almost every other driver in every form of motorsport?

 

Is this why RIC moved to Renault, his head doesn't fit in the Red Bull anymore......

 

Did you know that at Monza in 2006, I sat in the pits during qualifying and actually put away some tyre warmers. There, more knowledge that people didn’t know..

Forza Ferrari

 

A couple of reasons really. 1) More money in Renault 2) favoritism towards Max. Horner is putting all his chips on Max.

Abiteboul just said that have 60% less budget than Mercedes; so it does'nt look good for Renault or DR.

 

That's hot news mate

 

I have a "feeling" Renault were holding back on the hot bits for the engine and next year you will see DR at the front more often than not if this engine comes to fruition

 

Ah yes, but his love of seafood and haiku come from the Finnish half of his blood.

Finland

In summer there is fishing

In winter the fishing is bad

 

Traditionally, Renault has always ran its team on a limited budget compared to other factories like Mercedes, Ferrari, Honda, Toyota, etc ...

That didn't stop them being successful at times, like the 2 titles with Alonso, etc ....

 

If you cut a hole through the 24" of ice, the fishing is just fine.

 

Of course not. That word can be an adjective or a noun. I purposefully used an intentional misspelling with a ç (cedilla) as a tounge-in-cheek adjective for your spelling "correction" of Niçoise.

Alas, my attempt at humour was deemed criminal and I was banished for a week. During my hard time riding the lifts in Breckenridge and debating the merits of snow tyres on an F430, I considered the possibility of my punishment not fitting the crime. Perhaps I will suggest to the moderators a more appropriate sentence for future unintentional infractions: TEN consecutive forced viewings of the most recent Formula E race.

 

Worthy of a bump to restore legitimate humour to the thread!

During my time off I actually had a few beverages with some Aussies. We had some good laughs about this and other things...

 

My bad - - please accept my apologies. Unfortunately, I didn't take your use of the word "fascist" in the humorous vein you actually intended. Now I see it in its proper light - - a lighthearted joke about my anal-retentive correction of Nicoise/Niçoise. It certainly never occurred to me that all this would lead to a one-week banishment for you. Very unfortunate.
