lewisthegreat2 0 Report post Posted February 26, 2011 Internet is going crazy Red Bull's Renault engines getting a potential re-badge. Seems like, if true, they'll have the same badge as the one in this Red Bull car... ...next they'll adopt the driver; a big enough moaner he'd fit right in. (That's Eddie Under-A-Cheever in an Infiniti, if you weren't one of the dozen people who followed the IRL). Yeah! Especially since his Dad was so fast. His father should sue him over his surname. Lotus v. Lotus, Ford F-150 v. Ferrari F150, FIA Formula One World Championship v. IZOD INDYCAR World Championship...may as well have another I'd think. His Dad? Oh, yes...Prost. Prost? Isn't Deutsche Prost a Mercedes sponsor? Any relation? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pabloh20 1 Report post Posted February 26, 2011 i was refering to todays F1 grid, with Shoemaker as still active driver in F1, with Alonso, Hamilton and the rest of them. mine thought was that if we were able to tolerate that kind of moves on track for Shoey, Senna ,Prost, why to bother what Alonso or Hamilton said off the track. You said said the lowest moves in F1 history were shoemaker's crashes on Hill and Villeneuve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pabloh20 1 Report post Posted February 26, 2011 Oh yes, I must agree, Bruno Senna's lack of pace surely was an attack on the meaning of F1. Excellent Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pabloh20 1 Report post Posted February 26, 2011 No, no, no. Prost had the patience of a saint and he was a gentleman driver on the tarmac. Very much like Alonso. Yep. Like 2 peas in a pod, they are Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Senna-Prost crashes were not so obvious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lewisthegreat2 0 Report post Posted February 27, 2011 ESPN's inability to spell McLaren aside (hey, at least they didn't call Lewis an African-American like some of the other networks here do), this is ridiculously cool: http://sports.espn.g...tory?id=6162176 Stewart in an F1 car, Hamilton in a stock car. At Watkins Glen no less! I hope they release lap times, especially for Lewis, to see about where he'd be on the NASCAR grid for that race (I know they had Gordon's times in the Williams compared to the rest of the grid and for having never driven anything close to an F1 car, and never driven the track, he wasn't terrible). I just think things like this are really cool, and I know both drivers have a tremendous amount of respect for each other and the other series (while a lot of the fans of each series take shots at the other, you'd be surprised at how many F1 guys watch and enjoy the NASCAR stuff, and how many NASCAR guys will tell you Ayrton Senna is their racing hero), which is nice to see. I bet Stewart's glad he lost the weight this winter. I can't stand him, but dammit can he drive...cool stuff. Though if it were Ferrari and Alonso we'd be accusing them of getting around the testing ban, for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lewisthegreat2 0 Report post Posted February 27, 2011 Of course! My passion for F1 may have declined as my passion for staying out late on Saturday nights increased exponentially, but I'll never lose interest in seeing modern F1 cars at Watkins Glen. I hope they give us plenty of on-board footage. You know, to get a good view of the ExxonMobil logos and that... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lewisthegreat2 0 Report post Posted February 28, 2011 I feel terribly dirty and like less of a man for linking you to BBC, so I apologize, but it's the first credible source reporting on the Red Bull Infiniti link mentioned a few posts up. The engines will be re-badged and supplied free, which gives Red Bull a nice bit of money to play with elsewhere. http://news.bbc.co.u...one/9409120.stm The whole move is about Infiniti's image in Europe, and I guess associating a luxury car brand with the team that will, in all likelihood, take the championship is worthwhile. Though really, if they're going to do the re-badging thingy with one team, they may as well offer Team Lotus an ultimatum: give up the name or we're calling your engines Dacia.

Yet his move on Prost was less obvious than Schumacher's moves, according to you, even though he announced beforehand that he would do it? I'm guessing a career as a detective was out of the question for you then So anyway, it's more gentlemanly and sporting to say you are going to cheat before you actually cheat, than spontaneous cheating?

Interesting concept Senna's move on Prost is less obvious, and therefore more acceptable for kids when they see it on Internet. No one in United Kingdom doesn't want to see how angry defeated German ace crashes his fighting machine into fighting machine of a victorious British ace, and takes him down by fraud.It arouses bad memories. At least kid's shouldn't have to watch it. Spontaneous cheating? Very interesting concept. Are you a lawyer ? I think that new precedant is made. Just imagine Flavio's defence: Your Honor, it was case of spontaneous cheating! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just imagine Flavio's defence: Your Honor, it was case of spontaneous cheating! Nope still not seeing that. It was no less obvious and we knew it was deliberate because he said he was going to do it. I am not sure using a bunch of British kids watching the internet is a valid defense there. I was trying to make a differentiation for you between cheating on the spur of the moment because an opportunity arises and pre-meditated cheating and spontaneous was the best I could come up with However, if I was to use your observation of fair play it would go like - Your Honour, it was not murder because I told him before I killed him that I was going to do it so it was less obvious Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
