Alright, let me see Checo rocking that McLaren gear.

Hmm, that exhaust setup reminds me a lot of the Red Bull RB8. 😁

Yes, you can find it right here: http://www.youtube.com/lotusf1team

All we need now is a son-in-law, and Washington, D.C. will have a player for every single position on the roster.

Guys from other American clubs can't even compete with this elite group.

unknown could defend miracles and we still wouldn't be here!

To me, unknown is a better player than unknown, but there’s just no room for him..!

And if unknown were our future coach, he'd have to take Washington, D.C. along for the ride!

I really wish unknown would read this!!!

P.S. We are a force, and we aren't going anywhere!

That's just how it works as long as unknown is in charge... every young talent involved in the rebuilding process is going to come straight from Washington, D.C.
We actually have some solid young goalies. It isn't all about unknown, who already has a locked-in spot on the national team; he should probably call up unknown once in a while.
unknown is putting in decent work in Cleveland, and then there's the unknown you mentioned.
We urgently need to change the outer line. unknown is being blind if he thinks we can beat the best teams in the world with unknown and unknown.
Besides, unknown's play with the wing is non-existent. It's just not there.

It’s a real shame that Gobac decided to bring in Batinović instead of Ninčević....

The way Spain defended during those 40 to 50 minutes? That’s exactly how France is going to play against us for 90% of the match.

I can't quite track down the exact link—some page seems to have vanished from my history—but I distinctly remember stumbling upon an article last year. It mentioned Fry noting that they were actually looking back at that older exhaust design because their simulations and data modeling showed it consistently delivered the best results.
On the McLaren side, that specific setup provided much better rear-end stability and made tire management a whole lot easier.

There’s been some talk that they might actually bring back that exhaust setup from the start of last season. The word is that specific design offered the best kind of downforce, but they were just too rushed to get it perfectly dialed in with the rest of the car's aero.

Come on, TBF, just drop that specific part... let's all just relax for a second.
To be honest, I never found reading Jason Campbell70's posts to be an issue, and I wouldn't say he was trolling either.
Regardless, I think Jason Campbell70 actually missed the mark regarding what happened over at Suzuki.

And you, TBF, really went overboard after Monza, and I didn't say a word about it then.

Lewis got a real buffet of trouble from Pirelli yesterday. 😢

This is hands down the best video I've come across to help make sense of everything happening here.
Based on this footage, if they applied the same rules from Monza, it would have been a drive-through penalty for Alonso... though honestly, I'm glad they didn't, because it wasn't warranted anyway.
From what I can see, before the contact, Kimi's front wing was actually ahead of the center of Alonso's rear left tire.
The most important part is from 0:34 to 0:40.

I can’t quite recall him ever saying that everything about Ferrari was a disaster... This whole situation involving Mass feels a bit unsportsmanlike, but I suppose it is what it is.

darkmarlin16 said:Look, Fernando made a fair point—bad luck happens, and today it's him, tomorrow it's someone else. I think the championship is likely out of reach now, and it's a shame that Vettel will be the one to miss out. At least Massa gave us a little boost; even if his solid finish doesn't change much, maybe it gives him the momentum to go all out in these final races. We really need that kind of energy right now.

I feel like Fernando was actually getting a bit repetitive today with that "today me, tomorrow someone else" line. In reality, he was implying that the "someone else" is Vettel.
Championships are rarely won just because others make mistakes or fail to finish their races. I really hope he and the Ferrari fans focus on how to actually improve this Ferrari so it can actually challenge for the front row.

What I expressed about Kimi in my previous post is exactly how I feel.
I think my point is pretty clear from what I wrote... and honestly, if I didn't use insults like "idiot" or call him an "arrogant jerk," then I simply don't hold those views of him.
😉

Jack Kelly5 said:When Kimi says he just doesn't care about anyone else, or refuses to apologize after pulling some stunt on the track, people call him a cocky jerk, an arrogant prick, or a complete idiot...
But when Alonso pulls a stunt like that against his own teammate, it feels... well, unsportsmanlike, but it is what it is.
🙄😁

I already said it was unsportsmanlike... but I see you're really latching onto my
"it is what it is" part, so I'll just strip that out. --Alonso's statement was unsportsmanlike.

Where exactly did I say that bolded part? Find me those specific posts—I mean the ones using those exact words, not just places where you think I'm hinting at it.

Michael Lee4 said:What kind of racing line was that at the start? What are you guys even talking about?

Why on earth would Fernando move out of anyone's way? If anything, Kimi Raikkonen is the one who didn't budge, mostly because he had nowhere else to go. He just got slammed. Is it really that hard to watch this clip http://videa.hu/videok/sport/f1-2012...d87Sb3Ibg51vQP , take a breath, and stop looking for trouble where nobody else sees it except for you blind fans?

We really need to wait for the onboard footage from Kimi Raikkonen's car... that's what will actually confirm what happened.

Fernando Alonso is finally finding his rhythm again... The issue with Kimi Raikkonen was that he stubbornly stuck to his line, even when there was absolutely no way to overtake. There was zero chance he could have made a move on the outside.

Just ease off the throttle a little bit.
Why on earth should Fernando move out of the way and create space just because the driver behind misjudged the gap and tried to force a pass where there simply wasn't any room?

As far as I'm concerned, the rules are pretty straightforward.
If the tip of your front wing reaches the centerline of the rear tire, the lead driver is obligated to give you room. If they don't, why should the lead driver be the one to move? Let him lift off the gas; he’s the one who went on that overly optimistic mission to overtake on the outside.

Michael Lee4, you really can't compare the Grosjean-Hamilton incident to what happened today.

We really need to check the onboard footage from Kimi's car before we jump to any conclusions. It’s nearly impossible to make a call based on a single frozen frame. As it stands, this looks like just another racing incident.
Also, for those defending Kimi, keep in mind that Kimi's front wing had to clear the centerline of Fernando's rear tire. Only after that point is Fernando obligated to give Kimi enough room to pass.
What Fernando messed up was failing to fully close the door on Kimi; instead, he left just a car's length of space, likely hoping Kimi wouldn't commit to the move...

After qualifying wrapped up yesterday, the rain started coming down and basically washed away the layer they’d laid onto the track. 😉

feralotter2 said:I barely even woke up before they collided. What happened there? I saw Kimi in 6th, but Alonso is out.

It was just a minor touch. It’s hard to pin the blame on anyone really...
