“We keep on working, we do our thing,” Vettel shouts over the team radio, “We are who we are!”
"Vettel is a champion. That’s not referring to his achievements, but rather to his approach to everything he does. He wins. All the time. His preparation is meticulous, his attention to detail reminiscent of Michael Schumacher at his peak, and his performance on the track is almost always flawless. Vettel is capable only of domination. He knows no other way... Vettel is not in Formula One to be liked. He is there to win. And in the words of Ayrton Senna, perhaps the greatest of all Formula One drivers, “Nice men don’t win.”"
Chris Cameron-Dow
"One might be tempted to say Ferrari are inconsistent this year. I think the opposite.
They are having one very good race followed by one very poor race. Consistently."

Kimi Raikkonen: It is the same thing that I said before. I have no interest in driving for a bad team next year. If I race here, I always try to finish as high as I can. I don't need anything to motivate me. If I drive, I drive to do my best and that is it.

"I get the feeling that Alonso fans tend to heap over-praise on Alonso and bring down Kimi whenever they can, with mere theories and unjustified statements."
I just always end up disagreeing with you guys because of all the huge exaggerations, myths, theories & unjustified statements
Lewis Hamilton:
I never go with expectations, I go with a target. That is to be at the front, and the ultimate aim to win, which is the mentality I have always gone racing with.
You've got to be on the limit all the time - and I love that, because that's how I love to race.

Wes does a lot more than you think; he just does it quietly. The number of threads/posts/accounts that have been deleted that you never even knew existed is staggering.
Anyway, I like this one best of all the ones so far. Maybe it's the colors, I don't know. I really hope it's competitive, sincerely. It'd be a huge loss for F1 to have Räikkönen in a mid-pack vehicle. The same goes for that Ferrari and Alonso. I don't support either, but I'd personally be a hell of a lot more interested in watching them battle it out for a win than with most others, especially when you consider that they never got to have a true rivalry (2005 and 2007 were the only years they were both really competitive together, though there was a big gap in 2005 still and in 2007 the focus was more Alonso vs. Hamilton than everyone vs. Räikkönen even though he actually won the title).

I know, I was joking, and I appreciate he's busy. But we do seem to have quite a lot of spam about at the moment, and then the whole thing about new mods that everyone decided on that haven't been given permission yet...I'll say no more. It's still a nice forum, and I can't complain much.
Quite amused by the choice of sponsorship, anti-dandruff shampoo and deodorant, guess it fits seeing as E20 sounds like a feminine hygiene product...not that I'd know, I've just seen the adverts.
Can't really see anything new as yet, but hard to tell with the dark livery and lighting. Guess we'll see more when testing begins this week.

Both brands, Rexona (or Degree, at least in the U.S.) and Clear Anti-Dandruff Shampoo, are owned by Unilever, so it's really only one sponsor rather than a coincidence. The only fun fact in all of that? Last year, through Bruno Senna, they were branded by Gillette, owned by Unilever's key rival, Procter & Gamble.
You know, though, it's the first time in Formula One history that two drivers with experience in NASCAR's Camping World Truck division with Räikkönen and the 2010 Most Popular Driver after some Indian racing fans created automated voting programs, Narain Karthikeyan. As it happens, Unilever have a long-time brand ambassador in the stock car ranks:

The last 3 years were a dark period in my life with Kimi leaving the sport, but this year has been the best ever, Kimi coming back made it! Cant wait for season 2012 to start. hope the Iceman wrings that E20 by the neck and takes it to places on the grid it does not belong to! Finally decide to contribute in what ever way or form I can, happy to be back!
