    Think. If you had to meet someone in order to have an opinion, there would be no politicians, no favorite sports teams, no favorite bands etc. Do you live in a bubble? This isn't how the world works. When you lost your sense of humor I think some common sense was dropped as well.

    Your first few lines don't even make sense.

    To the second batch of lines I respond by saying if the "rejects" of F1 leave, then new drivers and possibly better drivers will fill the void.

    And PS we didn't have those drivers for a good portion of todays race and I haven't heard word one about F1 closing it's doors. Like I said new drivers would fill the gaps.

    Massa is faster on some days. Today Rik finished 5th Massa can't even leave pit lane in a legal manner. Today he could have been faster than light and it wouldn't have mattered. And no I didn't consider him a reject, I said "Most" of the rejects, as in not all of them were there and not everyone there was a reject. Jebus read a little Ron.

    Again in case your bubble didn't let you notice, more than 75% of the threads in the racing section are negative.

    Your latest thread is slamming FOX for their broadcast. How is that positive?

    I just took a quick scan of the top threads in the racing section and 9 out of 13 threads were ragging on something. Not to mention every 3rd post will go against the grain of someone.

    What's childish language? Language I and others find funny? You over react to every second word here. An entire thread turned into an I'm sorry Ron because someone said "you're on crack" in regards to your choices for a race weekend. That phrase and one like it have spread across this planet over the last 20 years, get with the times! No it wasn't an accusation, just a phrase to imply "wow, that's not what I was thinking". I'll tell you what, I won't use the word ball or the the other one ever again.

    And for one last kick at this can, if a driver is in a crappy car for more than a year then he must deserve it. I know there isn't always a top seat open but surely if someone is as good as Hamilton, then a seat will be MADE available for someone who is the equal of Lewis Hamilton. Except Nico Rosi isn't on par, you just think he is. That's where things get murky. You really believe Nico is as good as Lewis and I really don't. No big deal, I just make light of the difference and you really don't like that. I now know it and will lose the creative metaphors more often.

    When you look at the fastest laps, Kimi and Massa were pretty darn close:

    Also, Kimi drove around with that piece of debris stuck to his wing for most of the race after that.

    At least he didn't run off the track three (or was it four) times as Alonso. This is the second race (he did it at Spain too) that Alonso almost took out half the field by going off the track at the start, then cutting right back into traffic. Then he proceeded to go off the track a few more times and cut right back in. I believe he should have conceded the position each time.

    Or they could hire Danica Patrick to replace Kimi, that would probably end F1's ratings woes in the United States, considering the way Kimi is racing now, I think even Tony Stewart or Jimmy Johnson can do a better job than he is now.

    What has leaving the pitlane has got to do with driving around the track quickly? Surely, the mere fact that Massa ignored a red light, doesn´t mean he didn´t do a better job than Kimi, while actually being in the race. Sure, it was a stupid mistake from both the team and Massa, but it was just that. It has of course no reflection on Massa as a driver whatsoever.

    More to the point. All I hear about is points and final position whe it comes to Kimi being with Ferrari. He scores a 5th and Massa gets DQ'd and now points don't matter.

    My point was and still is Kimi is the long term bet. Ups and downs yes, overall more points in the next few years for Kimi over Massa, yes.

    I like it: Let's replace our Fin with the Germanized version of it. Rosberg is a somewhat realistic answer. My preferred choice is still Alonso, but he might not be so easily given up by McLaren.

    Alternatively Williams might have to get rid of one of its drivers by year end.

    The Ferrari is still the #2 car on the grid. The only mediocre thing is Kimi's motivation. If he'd go for it, he'd be outdriving his team mate.
