Word on the street is Bernie can't stand the boring ones...
"People are looking for personalities like Jacques Villeneuve or Eddie Irvine—drivers who aren't terrified of speaking their minds," Ecclestone told The New York Post. >“It drives me crazy when a driver climbs out of the cockpit after a victory just to give a laundry list of thanks. They go on about their grandmother, their aunt, the tire manufacturers, the fuel guys, the sponsors, some uncle, even their old high school. It’s total nonsense; that’s not what the fans actually want to hear."

mistybear87 said:haha, go check out Formula 1 live
I watched it... And honestly, I’m still not losing any sleep over Ferrari... Even seeing it on Formula 1 live doesn't change my mind after reading that piece in the Canadian and Herzegovina news...
Angel said:What even is the FIA? Are you just intimidated by how much backing I actually have?😁 😉
I’m not afraid of anyone or anything... except maybe seeing McLaren pull off the kind of total dominance Ferrari managed to pull off over the last couple of seasons... 😛
I’m honestly skeptical about this news, mostly because I haven't been able to track it down anywhere else on the web (usually ESPN goes on these massive, drawn-out tangents whenever they talk about "the struggles over at Goodyear," so if this were actually happening, I'd expect them to be all over it)...
But hey, we'll see how it plays out... Personally, I'm not losing any sleep over Ferrari.
mistybear87 said:The only potential headache here is if the inspectors grabbed the front left and rear right, because Goodyear claimed they actually needed the front right and rear left.
😂 Give me a break... what kind of nonsense are you even talking about? 😂 Where on earth did you read that?
Angel said:I don't mean to brag, but my threads seem to be the ones everyone actually reads here 🙂 and they always pull in the most replies. Of course, the haters will claim it’s just because I start a new discussion for every single race 🙂 but honestly, I think it's just because I'm more interesting than anyone else on this board!😁
Angel said:I wasn't looking to grab any power; I just wanted to lend a hand with organizing the subforums so you wouldn't have such a headache.🙂
Look, I don't need the help... I didn't need it before Blacky showed up either, but the admins insisted on having two mods per subforum, so... there you go.
Besides, I really can't see what you'd actually be able to do for me here.
