It was no laughing matter in Germany (but then, what is?). The Federal Ministry of Health issued advice to anyone considering taking a cucumber up the rear end to use extra-strength condoms and extreme caution to reduce the risk of their rubber bursting. Clearly not all citizens took that advice to heart, often with tragic outcomes. Well, you didn't say it had to be a good joke. At least it's on-topic. Ish.
Yeah it was. Hopefully he'll get in to the swing of things. Don't see him pulling a Mansell though. I'm loving these new cars though. They look amazing and can take a real beating. It would take a herculean effort to Maldonado one of those.
Now it's another week until any sort of interesting motor sport is on But that will be great though.. MotoGP! Anyone following? (Sorry for OT, but this thread got so depressing lately it can't hurt much)
lol, I haven't followed the Indy series for like 10 years or so.. Was great to watch it again! The difference between F1 is in your face and huge though. Them cars seem so simple and cheap compared to F1. Thanks to the free streams I think I will follow it this season
Oh you moved to the states? Sweet.. Ever been to Indianapolis 500? I always wanted to go watch Dale Earnheart there but it never happened and now it is too late
Unfortunately not.... just never seem to have the time. Hope to make it to a race this year though. And maybe even Texas unless the tickets are extortionate.
Just thought I would link this and show where Seb got his mouth from. I was reading up about Webber and I came across this: After Fuji 07: Q: (Ann Giuntini - L’Equipe) To Mark and Sebastian: without any desire to get into politics, would you say that Hamilton’s manoeuvres in the last race were not very far from being unfair or not under the agreement you generally have? Seb talks... MW: I think he did a **** job behind the safety car. He did a **** job and that’s it. He spoke in the drivers’ briefing about how good a job he was going to do and then he did the job the opposite way, so we know for next time, it’s no problem. http://www.formula1.com/news/headlines/2007/10/6924.html Articles from google: Mark Webber says he was unfazed when the British press described him as a 'whinger' at the recent Chinese grand prix. source: GMM In a news conference in Shanghai, the Australian driver slammed Lewis Hamilton for having done a "**** job" behind the safety car at Fuji Speedway a few days earlier. Webber, who drives for Red Bull, said the British championship leader's erratic driving had contributed to Sebastian Vettel smashing him out of contention for the race win. "I got pretty much slaughtered by the British gutter press about what I said," the 31-year-old wrote this week in his column for Eurosport. "I guess that's what happens when you say something negative about the golden boy." Webber, though, said that despite the media attacks, including the description of him as "whinging Webber", he will not be put off speaking his mind in the future. "Cowboys don't cry, I say, and I have some pretty thick skin," he added. "It's old news now, and those newspapers are already wrapping chips, so what difference does it really make?" Now we know where "golden boy" came from. Amazing how Webber got away with that and became more loved over time, yet Vettel and Lewis get attacked left right and center for doing something similar...
