Best to all my fellow Formula 1 fans🙄
Well, shoot, here he comes again—just when we were starting to turn on him and felt like staging a full-blown coup or a revolution. Unbelievable!😁 😉

What are you going to do, throw me under the bus? 🙂 I was just pointing out that people with long hair tend to run into issues—my brother deals with that all the time. 🙂
Elizabeth Hughes regarding Sergio Marchionne said:I’ll say it again: Right now, I don't see a single one...
Repetition is how we learn. 🙄 It reminds me of that old saying: "Those who see, don't truly see, and those who are blind have their eyes wide open!" 😁
Well, if you aren't going to ask me... then I suppose I'll just 🙂 PS If someone doesn't show up soon, we might just have to vote them out🙂, or at least rotate them out. 🙂 🙂There are plenty of people interested in being a moderator, anyway. 🙂 What do you think, Elizabeth Hughes? 🙂 😁
🙂 I can't help but smile watching this clip; seeing how fast Kim gets that launch and looks poised to overtake everyone, only for Ruben to collide and spark my excitement, before he hits Kim and ruins the whole moment.😢

It seems like everyone has been ditching subpar parts throughout the season. For instance, Williams ditched their rearview mirrors, Ferrari scrapped an entire suspension setup (likely out of frustration with Bridgestone), and McLaren swapped out their engine at the last race—David mentioned his driving style requires even higher RPMs. Then you had Renault getting rid of a mounting bracket at Indianapolis (Alonso), and eventually Trulli realized the whole car was a lost cause and pulled out. I won't even get started on the BAR team.😁
🙂 If there’s a third part coming, it'll be out this Friday! Personally, that's my favorite installment of the series. I remember watching it during the last fifteen minutes of the Oscars; I was absolutely cracking up every single time.😂 😂 I've watched every single episode at least twenty times now. Even though I know exactly what happens next, it still makes me laugh every single time.😂 😂 Honestly, this is easily one of the best comedies ever made! I remember watching it for the first time back in high school, and even now, it still hits just as hard.👍 I haven't had the chance to sit down and watch A Space Travesty yet, but if I recall correctly, it came out back in 2001. It’s been on my watchlist for quite a while!
AxMi-24 said:How could he possibly have known they were both wedged in there? Standard driving rules dictate that the driver behind is always responsible for keeping watch, not just the one leading the way.
Kim couldn't have seen anything because his Ferrari was blocking his line of sight.
True, though I suppose he didn't see Ruben either since those other 18 cars were probably cluttering up his field of vision! 😛 While it's true the trailing driver needs to be cautious, the car in front can't just slam on the brakes when a pack is chasing them. Similarly, Ralph shouldn't have jerked so sharply to the side; it put everyone at risk.
slycrane94 said:Look, it’s a mess, and I don't see how anyone can take the blame here. They all just collided at once. Maybe Kim was the main one involved, but honestly, even he was just trying to make an aggressive move.
Not bad at all! Now, if someone could just point me toward a link where I can download the whole collection... I've got a few of them already, but I'm definitely craving MORE!!!😁 😉
Charlie's angels, the title caught my eye😁, especially the cast, but the movie itself was a bit of a letdown. It felt a little too forced 🙂, and honestly, you forget the plot the second you leave the theater—though I have to admit, those actresses stay on your mind long after you've left the restroom!🙂 😁
It was a fun watch—honestly more entertaining than Johnny English, though I feel like both movies just end up riding on the charisma of Jim / Rowan. Still, I had a great time!👍

Ford's leadership under Sergio Marchionne once said:"You're actually messing with me and trying to drive me crazy, aren't you?" 🙂
Exactly!👍 I stumbled upon this interesting line on www.f1.com: "The American company's partner teams did trial new designs in response to the changes, with General Motors reporting superior lap times from the revised rubber." 👍
Elizabeth Hughes said:You made a point about how easy it is to take the lead when McLaren and Ford aren't in the mix, but let's not forget that just the day before, Ferrari was sitting right out front—ahead of Williams, Ford, and even that McLaren you mentioned, which seemed to be holding its best cards back.
Now that you’ve finally seen sense, we can actually have a proper conversation!😛
Elizabeth Hughes said:I feel like I’m just old-fashioned and nagging at this point, while you're still acting like a kid who hasn't quite figured things out yet. 🙂
I know exactly what I’m talking about—you can tell I hit a nerve right away!😛 I remember visiting a small town in Pennsylvania that had a similar vibe. It was quite charming! 😠 😁
I always have a little something extra to add! My point was specifically about that final day on September 5th, when it was really just Will and Ferrari out there. I was simply saying they should be proud of sweeping up all those top spots! There’s nothing wrong with celebrating a win. Don't be such a grouch!😛 🙂 Besides, the day before, McLaren was definitely keeping their best cards close to their chest.🙂
Hey DA, it feels pretty easy to top the charts when neither McLaren nor Renault are out there!😛 😁 On this final day at Monza, it was just Williams and Ferrari hitting the track, and I found this particular line quite interesting: "Both teams appeared to have a largely trouble-free morning, though Schumacher’s F2003-GA did stop on track at the very end of the session." Quite unexpected 🙂 !
But don't worry, the work isn't over yet: "Ferrari will again be testing on Saturday, this time at Fiorano."
