Haha! Well, I challenge you, Westy - to produce the evidence! If you care to scrutinise, you will see that I was always very specific about each successive rumour; i.e. my promise to eat my hat during a convenient meeting of BRDC members, was always in response to specific rumours, which mooted that he would be back "in 2009"/"in 2010"/"next year" etc. (please bear in mind the time of writing). My responses were similarly specific; i.e. that I would eat my hat if he were to reappear "in 2009"/"in 2010"/"next year" etc. (please bear in mind the time of writing). Have a look. I wrote these things in more than half a dozen fora around the world, and my words were sincere. (I love my hat!) P.S. My hat would have been on the menu (probably as Homburgers) which may have included optional side-orders of baked beans. However, Beanz cannot mean Heinz at the BRDC
I'd quite like to see Raikkonen back on the grid, I quite enjoyed his none existent style. Used to just quietly get the job done with no fuss
Damn you Heinz and your love of the specifics! EDIT - Technically, if he signs the contract in 2011 does that count as being this year!?!
I'm Schumis biggest fan and would never claim he was a saint, thats making a point too far I think if anybody said that! He is the greatest driver since Fangio but a saint, I don't think so!
no no no not more, please MODS please move the Raikkonen entries into a separate thread - AND 'accidentally' delete the remainder.
Imagine if the highway code was re-written by Schuey!? 'Subject to clarification following an investigation into an accident, this code may change at any time' 'All those driving a Ferrari are released from any obligation to follow the highway code' 'When the traffic light turns green, a sharp move right to the other side of the road is permitted'
Haha! Just to be clear Westy (and of course very specific) I did not say "this year" this year! I said it last year! So even if he signs within the next few days (it would not surprise me if he does so quite soon), my hat is safe; and at no point has it been under threat this year AD 2011.
I'll always admit my errors when I realise I've made them, and offer an immediate apology. That's a promise.
