2010 Spanish Grand Prix - Barcelona Circuit

cosmicridge5 said:Here’s the press conference, basically just Fernando repeating "Fantastic, fantastic! We maximize our potential! Happy end, satisfied!" 😍😍🤣

And to all those furious Lewis Hamilton fans out there, I’m telling you to pull your heads out of your asses 😍 and stop blaming us for some random 😍 nonsense 🙏

What are you even 😲 talking about with the head out of your ass comment....

I think I might just turn to heroin today...🙏 🙂

Just to deal with the tire blowouts, the cheap booze, and... Sunday, a few laps...

Some kind of wizard really pulled this one off....🙏

And to those furious Lewis Hamilton fans out there—do yourselves a favor and get your heads out of your asses 😍 instead of blaming us for some pointless nonsense 😍 🙏 🙏

While you're busy joking around, others are actually enjoying the ride 😉

Then again, you probably weren't raised in the rugged heartland 🤣

Seriously though, for everyone out there messing around with that Lewis Hamilton doll...🙂

It’s honestly like watching someone’s shoe fall apart right as they’re crossing the finish line at the Boston Marathon.🤣

Arthur Doyle70 said:You’re totally tripping over how you spell that word, 🤣🤣🤣 🙏

I say it's "full-io," or maybe "pro-full-io." Some people go with "full-ow." Around here, we just say it this way...☕

Arthur Doyle70 said:What are you even 😲 talking about? Get your head out of your ass....

Maybe I should just switch to heroin today...🙏 🙂

😁 Things might get slightly 🤷 😁

And honestly, slybison8 has a point; after that 2007 season, we probably deserved to have Lewis Hamilton's tires on a rotisserie 🙂 😁 😁

Arthur Doyle70 said:I suppose some sort of visionary managed to execute this quite brilliantly...🙏

I believe I know which ones they are:

cosmicridge5 said:I suppose I would prefer to hear an explanation regarding how Lewis Hamilton suffered that tire failure once we get through these commercials. 😳 😬

I suppose you can just go ahead and argue with the lady... if you really think you can. 😬

cosmicridge5 said:😁 It’ll be an improvement, at least. 🤷 😁

And like slybison8 said, we definitely earned ourselves plenty more of Lewis Hamilton's tires on a spit back in 2007. 🙂 😁 😁

Good grief, as if that one wasn't enough to deal with already...😲

If it doesn't end up being Lewis Hamilton taking the title this year, I honestly don't know what the champion is even going to walk away with; instead of a trophy, they'll probably just be handed a pile of burnt rubber. 🙏🙏 One big win and two smaller ones to round out the podium spots for first, second, and third.😂

cosmicridge5 said:😁 Things might look up a little 🤷 😁

And I agree with slybison8—after everything that happened back in 2007, we practically earned the right to see a few more of Lewis Hamilton's tires on a spit 🙂 😁 😁

Well, as a McLaren fan, I guess I'll just sit here crossing my fingers—hoping maybe a stray spring or something flies out and hits those scoundrels over at Ferrari 👍

Then again, you probably didn't grow up in some rough Midwest mining town. 🤣

I don't think anyone is being malicious, 😁 🙂 we're all just being childish. 😍 😁😁

slybison8 said:I know exactly which ones:

Go ahead and pick a fight with her if you're feeling that brave... 😬

She isn't just a psychic, she's basically got a crystal ball 😲 I didn't start arguing until after she made her prediction, not before...🤔

Alright, here’s how you actually save F1:

1. Just start spraying water on the track at random intervals.
2. Bring back mid-race refueling, but make the fuel tanks so small they have to pit at least three times per race.

☕

Hamilton didn't deserve any better after that botched pit stop. It isn't his fault they messed up the timing or that slow driver who was lagging a lap behind, but if that mess hadn't happened, he wouldn't have ended up ahead of Sebastian Vettel. In the end, things just leveled out, though I don't think Fernando Alonso deserved second place either...

redheron12 said:I suppose we McLaren fans will just have to cross our fingers and hope that some stray spring might at least land in the eye of those Ferrari folks. 👍

I suppose those springs are a bit like winning the Powerball lottery... you might hit the jackpot once, but I doubt it'll ever happen again. 😁

I suppose we are quite relaxed. 🙂

Well, here’s what happens when your boyfriend just can't get the job done....🙏



If I track down anything better, I'll send it over along with a new wallpaper...

Michael Lee4 said:Any way to save Formula 1? Here's my take:

1. Just throw some random sprayers onto the cars at any given moment.
2. Bring back mid-race refueling. Set the tank limits so they're forced to pit at least three times per race.

☕

We should let teams push engine development to the absolute limit again. Let more tire manufacturers join the Formula 1 circus. And yeah, bring back refueling when it makes sense...

Arthur Doyle70 said:He isn't just some psychic; he actually seems to see what's coming. 😲 I suppose I only really started engaging after the predictions were made, rather than before...🤔

With fans like that, I guess it’s no wonder Lewis Hamilton keeps running into such bad luck. You miss the entire race, start arguing at the very end, and then somehow expect the tires to stay perfect too...😁

It probably won't happen. 😍

slybison8 said:Those springs are just like winning the lottery... you hit it once and you won't see it again 😁

We're keeping it relaxed 🙂

Well, what else could we be if not relaxed? You guys are just competitive enough that there isn't any real tension—more like, thank God, it’s actually going well 😁

Like seeing tko Sep driving his Williams or Damson with Jacques 🤣

redheron12 said:Whatever, I guess us McLaren fans will just be crossing our fingers that some stray spring doesn't fly off and take out an eye of one of those Ferrari guys👍

That’s a pretty ugly way to put it... and honestly, it isn't even funny, because it doesn't even come close to how we usually talk here🤷 😲

I don't think anyone actually wants to see an accident like that happen, so that should be obvious enough...

Good grief, what has this place become... I'm getting out of this thread... running away screaming😳

Arthur Doyle70 said:Look, honey, don't go throwing that stuff 🤣at me

I made myself pretty clear: when did I ever actually celebrate someone losing a spot like that..???
JUST READ IT, seriously—it didn't matter who it was, if someone from the other side was driving like a total beast and then just lost it because of some stupid car failure, I gave them my respect for the drive, and I wasn't sitting around typing away like a maniac just because I felt like it 🙏🙏

HONEY, maybe try learning how to express yourself without being so crude first, and then we can talk.
My reaction was just instinctive and a bit snarky—which even Pat saw coming, and I was just laughing at her for it. You get what I'm saying?

If I find a bigger version, I'll send it over with the wallpaper...

No need, I already have that one set as my desktop 🤷 🙂 😁

Gotta run 🙂
