Welcome to both of you!

I have a feeling Ikyrotz is a very interesting man; you can usually tell by someone's posts per day.  The lower it is, the more interesting they are. :P

Welcome aboard Graham the Second. And FYI we are not that great. We are better.

As for Ikyrotz, what George said. One of the guys whose posts I enjoy reading :D

I am hoping a similar introduction from our resident Senna Ghost, another interesting character around these forums. Senna's Ghost can you hear us? We summon thee...

Ok, now I'm scared :(

Ok, so the thought crossed my mind that, maybe, after writing here every now and then for the last three years, it might be nice to introduce myself as well.

I'm a Finn, couple of years past 30, theoretical physicist by profession and have been living in Vienna for the past couple of years. I'm married to an American whose knowledge of F1 is restricted to "Ugh, you're watching that damned NASCAR racing again!" -comments every other Sunday ;) We got a couple of dogs; Yoda, a very smart border collie-black lab mix who is just as eager fan of racing as I am (though mostly of racing cats, mice, motorcycles and the like) and a tiny yorkie called Avery, who is too young to have made up his mind about what kind of racing he prefers. Presently, he is trying everything out. Yoda, who we got when we lived in Canada, is a Villeneuve fan, while Avery follows closely everything Red Bull related. On my avatar you can see our hamster Nietzsche, who sadly passed away just a couple of weeks ago :(. As far as my biases go, I'm a big Kimi fan but, as a racing series, F1 comes first, and of the present line-up, I like Lewis' style and Heikki's spirit the most.


Hello Mickey Finn, your profession is already making me feel like a twerp in comparison. Nice joke about your wife going "...NASCAR.." . Can you please upload your doggies' pics? Say hi to them and give them a nice hug from me.

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.”"

Of course I'm right. I always am. Now get your a## out of this thread and start posting on the other threads or creating  your own. Don't worry, we will just trash whatever you post and call you a n00b. You know, the usual :D
