I suppose I should probably get around to putting together that list of people who want to get in on the betting pool, seeing as we did agree that we need at least twelve participants before anyone actually walks away with the prize...
Henry Young8 said:It’s quite sobering to realize that even after ten years, Formula 1 still hasn't truly moved past such a devastating tragedy.
😢 😢 😢
I find myself nodding along with that sentiment; I really do. The real question, though—and perhaps a rather cynical one at that—is whether the sport actually intends to.
Walter Peterson5 said:Oh, I see how it is... have you just grown weary of interacting with your own kind? 😁
As for Senna... may he rest in peace, though I suspect things won't be getting any easier for him, whether we look at last year, or the year before that, or the one before that... and so on, and so forth.
Besides, the man lived for the thrill of the gamble.
Well, you’ve certainly made it clear to everyone here exactly what sort of person you are. You could have shown a little grace and just let a topic like this breathe without interfering...
mistybear87 said:What kind of "tension" are we even talking about here? 🙂
Honestly, I haven't the foggiest clue. Something about the Elizabeth Hughes getting all worked up or playing hardball, I suppose. I haven't quite wrapped my head around it, to be perfectly honest. I'm feeling a bit dim-witted tonight—just one of those evenings where I feel like a Ferrari fan.😢😛
Elizabeth Hughes regarding Sergio Marchionne said:If I followed that logic, I would have been sent to a psychiatric observation ward ages ago... And if not ages ago, then certainly by the very day I first stepped onto this forum and started "sparring" with certain regulars around here... 😉 😁 (right, Blacky?)
Unknown? What's the issue now? Who exactly is sparring?😁
copperviper79 said:Even though there’s some kind of miracle happening—and look, I love NASCAR, even if I am currently dealing with being a woman and bleeding for five days straight without actually dying—Rado went and married Michael Schumacher. I mean, I'm way too young to be getting married, plus he's already hitched, so those are basically my only two problems. And I don't even like money, which is just one more thing to deal with.😁 😁 😁 😁
Now, personally, I absolutely love money, but I've never been much for Michael. So, even if I were a woman (and let's face it, he's quite the man😁), I wouldn't be looking his way either.🙂
Look, if it weren't for the women who actually enjoy watching NASCAR, I'm convinced these drivers would never find anyone to marry. If we set aside the almost entirely negligible factor of money, 😁
mistybear87 said:I highly doubt you’re talking about Ralf—poor guy, at this rate, he won't even see the end of the season... unless Jean suddenly decides there’s actually room for two oversized egos on the team. 😁 🙂
I wrote: He’s selling... Honestly, for Ralf, they’d probably have to pay someone just to take him off their hands...😁
mistybear87 said:it looks like Ferrari’s only real shot this year is in the drivers' championship... they are currently lightyears away from even sniffing the constructors' title...
Hmmm... Well, if they want to pull off that first one, they’re certainly going to need a world-class driver in the cockpit... though I find it hard to believe Williams is actually looking to sell...😁
Austin Evans quoting Sergio Marchionne: Well... here is a little something relevant to our discussion here...
It looks like Ferrari has decided they'll be sticking with the old F2002 for the upcoming race at Indianapolis...
"There are still a few problems," Todt said. "Our objective is to give the new car its debut in USA."
Todt mentioned he’s perfectly content staying with last year's chassis, even if it hasn't managed to snag a single victory in the three races we've had so far this season.
"We know that the F2002 is still a very competitive car," he added.
It seems like a sensible move, honestly; perhaps if they play it safe like this, they might actually manage to scrape together a few points...😛
I I'd like to jump in here and join everyone else in offering their congratulations... Truly, I wish you nothing but the absolute best that life has to offer! You’re stepping into what I genuinely believe will be your finest years yet...🙄...and I mean that
And honestly, I'm not just wishing you a single win for Ford this season; I think we can aim a bit higher than that—let's say at least...two!!!👍 👍
May you find yourself listening to that stirring anthem while watching Rubens standing tall on the podium!!!😁
Once again, a very happy birthday to you, and all the very best!😉
