narain fan 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2006 I wouldn't take too much heart out of seeing McLaren blitz testing at Valencia. They dominated there with the MP4-19, then nothing. indeed shaun,but Cdc will be a much better indicator of car performance so next week's mclaren test should answer a few questions ?? Kaiser, you don't have to read the posts where JV and NH are compared you know. Don't like it, don't read it, simple as that. again,indeed shaun BTwno one needs to give advice to me regarding "ignoring" someone,i am not so "hot" in the head, that i am not in a position to read all posts, those include the good ,the bad and the " ridiculous" .

Jenson_Rules 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2006 as both myself and shaun have said. dont look too far into kimi's time. I did last year with button and began thinking he was gonna win everything. Face it, mclaren are a long way behind at the moment from where they should be. Also dont forget most of honda and renaults times have been set during LONG RUNS, which shows there is more speed than whats being shown at the moment.

I hope they get their act together and be competitive, maybe not in Bahrain but hopefully in Sepang.BTW, Hello to everyone. . I've enjoyed reading your posts (including the veiled insults ) and I appreciate the info/links/articles that people contributes....

Having another member and another opinion is always nice. Yes there is at least one other woman on the forum. She is a big NH fan. Enjoy your time here, and remember no one uses their real name here, and as a result tend to say things they would never say if you were standing in front of them. I learned this early on.

Don't forget to add BMW to that list. Long runs, with quick times, and rock solid reliability. I would say Honda, Renault and BMW have shown the most in testing.

monza gorilla 1 Report post Posted February 19, 2006 Well said Ben. Many of us use our real names. Russ (that's me folks!), Bruce, Shaun, Jay, Eduardo, Jem, Ashwin and many more. User names are fun, but I don't see the point of hiding behind them. I was going to spend a weekend in Brockenhurst, but the hotel/pub place is non smoking. Fascists.

You may have exchanged names, but no one I know uses their real name as their log on name. I know the first names of only a handful of posters. Ben has now gone one step further and gave us his full name, now all I need is a mailing address!!!!! Since I work for CSIS that shouldn't be a problem, and then I can start sending him Christmas cards. Once the real names started coming out the civility of this forum picked up, which is the point I was trying to make. You can disagree with me, but it has been my experience that internet forums with "handles" can be quite aggressive and opinionated. Your mileage may very.

monza gorilla 1 Report post Posted February 19, 2006 I agree and disagree simultaneously. It's in my nature. As far as I'm concerned the user name is a bit of fun, no more no less. Some people hide behind this for no good reason that I can see (feelings of inadequacy? Paranoia?). I make no secret of my real name. Oh, Cristiano uses his real name as a user name. So do Eduardo, and Jay, and Jem, and Wes.(Apologies if I've missed anyone). I'm replying and reading at the same time (multi tasking!!), so forgive me if the above was not apposite to your post. I do agree with your point, on the whole. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

narain fan 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2006 This forum has gotten better, but I'll wait and see how tolerant it is once the racing begins. if button fails to win ,with the "best" car yet, though it is certain (as i have been maintaining from the very beginn9ing) that he should comfortably outpace and beat Rb (based on limited evidence,but evidance none the less )then dont expect any tolerance for the "mesages" that continue to portray him as being "touched by the hand of god,"4th best driver on the grid ....or if speed's on track performance is as clumsy as his interview....then again.....

Senna 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2006 Gascoyne happy following latest test PF1 Mike Gascoyne and the Toyota team are said to be happy with the results of theit recent testing session in Bahrain and particularly with their new aeroynamic package. The weather hindered the testing session in general but Gascoyne said he was happy with what they did achieve. "This is our first time testing here at Vallelunga and it was reasonably productive," said Gascoyne. "Other teams have tested here in the past, but we were the only team running with a chicane in the first corner so you can't make comparisons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
