Piotr 0 Report post Posted October 8, 2008 Yeah right you dirty old man. In all seriousness, has Robert really had that much of a raise? Funny, I don't FEEL that old.. But, paraphrasing Joel (Tom Cruise) in "Risky Business" - I have knowledge... . But don't tell Mr. GR. Polish blogs reported the raise, so that would be $12 M and that's only for 2009. Now, those blogs were wrong before, but that's awfully close to what I expected, so there!... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cavallino 2 Report post Posted October 8, 2008 You're way too personally invested in him.. Even if I actually supported a sportsperson, I wouldn't give a damn how much he/she was paid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So, Maure is right, the amount of money notwithstanding. As to my involvement into Kubica, considering he is the first Pole in F1, this is his second year in F1, and he is fighting in the top 5 of the best drivers in the World, my level of involvement pales in comparison to people supporting Hamilton, Massa, or Alonso.

Cavallino will randomly pull in another direction. He will say anything for attention. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seeing how hard the competition is these days, with Mclaren having not that great a no2 and Ferrari screwing up, I think they maybe allright to atleast get 2nd next year in WCC...

The Rumble Strip 0 Report post Posted October 11, 2008 One season's performance may not relate to the next though. I have top three next year at the moment as Ferrari, McLaren and BMW. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
