Wez 0 Report post Posted March 26, 2007 Yeah I wish I had recorded it too actually... It might have seemed a bit wierd me sitting with a recorded during our informal conversation though. Something else very interesting is the story behind advertising on the new honda livery... In the past, a company like Ray Bans for example would pay x million Pounds per year to sponsor Honda and have their name on the car, Then x Million extra to use the Honda brand or pictures of the car on any of their products for for advertising purposes. Now companies can sponsor the Honda team and although they cant get their name on the actual car, they can use pictures of the Honda and the Honda F1 branding wherever they want without having to pay extra for it.

Autumnpuma 0 Report post Posted March 26, 2007 Wez, thanks for the info! It's interesting to know that Rubens went back to right-foot-braking...damned idiot. I did notice more TC being used during Oz but I had assumed Jenson was leaning on it a bit more to try and gain some speed on exit. Very interesting about Hammy and Alonso. If I had a bullet-proof Ferrari, I'd want Kimi in it. If I had a Honda that needed some care and development, I'd go Alonso. I'll wait to see how Hammy turns out. We're lucky to have you on this forum, Wez! (Cav, if you have dinner with Mosely, punch him for me will ya?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shane2 0 Report post Posted March 26, 2007 I don't like this guy. In fact, anyone who favour Alonso above Kimi, and now even Lewis, are obviously ignorant as to why geniuses actually exist..... On a serious note, thanks for the Honda and Super Aguri notes, worthwhile reading.. Are you the guy on the right Wez? Raikkonen is far from a Genius, in fact I think he is one of the lowest of all the drivers in the mental agility stages. Alonso applies his brain to racing, Raikkonen just gets in the car and floors the throttle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If Raikkonen apply no thought to what he's doing, why would a Mclaren spokesman, who refuse to be named, a guy on the inside, tell Peter Winsor that Kimi is simply genius... Don't you think there's something just weird to this incident you mention. Why would Kimi deliberately do 5 test, it does'nt make sense. Did we get Kimi's side of the story. In any way, genuises are hard to work with, they have their own way of working, they rarely listen to anyone, we should'nt question them, they make this world a very exciting place...

I don't think he is a bad driver, but I have seen nothing whatsoever to justify the claim that he is a genious. Schumacher won 7 titles, and I don't even think he was a genius. If you want to look at real genius, look at Senna. Raikkonen isn't a patch on him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dribbler 6 Report post Posted March 29, 2007 And in english that means...? It means that there is a case to be made for demonstrating that Kimi can break cars but the way that you made your case was offensive to the Finn contingient. Is that English enough for you?

Shane2 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2007 Yes I am not deliberately trying to annoy people, its just strange that BradSpeedMan treats Raikkonen as some kind of god, which he clearly is not. I have nothing against Raikkonen, it just seems to me that the fanaticism stakes are way too high on a lot of his fans (and they criticise the other drivers far too often as well).Maybe not the most wonderful voiceing I will admit (and for the record I don't buy into the car breaking crap, I was just using an example which I thought illustrated his lack of mental application).
