What the **** is going on round here? RR has a triple post, me and BLS then post and neither of them appear. This happened the other day too. Edit: Now they all appear and I look insane.
It also says that this page shows 1,381 of 1,381 posts (excluding this one) but there's actually 1,383. Dafuq?!?

Would this have anything to do with the two Polish guys that have recently come on here? It's just that I've noticed their introductory threads have disappeared. OMG we've been invaded by Poland Hey, single post!
I tried to say hello to one of them, but it must be a cyber attack or something if they needed to be taken down. At the moment the whole website server looks ****ed up. Just keep it tight lads, hang on in there.
I am watching SENNA for the first time, and the ****.. I just had an almighty shiver down my spine, the situation in Mclaren then, and what is unfolding now?
I watched Senna when I was absolutely smashed and in a really bad mood. I was blubbing like a girly man by the end of it. Wouldn't worry too much about the current situation though.
I cried, and I was sober. What a racer though, raw speed and passion. It was just a ****ed up weekend in all of F1 history. Ballestre is really portrayed as a nob in that film, and I was just wondering if that is correct... I think the quote of the movie was, if you no longer race to win (or something along the lines).... then you are no longer a racing driver. Which is why looking at F1 now, I don't understand why everybody gets pissed off at some raw wheel to wheel racing. Or for instance when Vettel overtook Webber for the win in Malaysia. Racers overstep the line at times, but that's because they race to win.
I thought the whole thing was pretty biased so I didn't draw any conclusions about Ballestre or anyone else from the film. It annoyed me that it was billed as being a documentary when it was so one sided, journalists opinions aren't facts. It would be like making a Hamilton documentary from Andrew Benson soundbites, it wouldn't be accurate. The bit that really rubbed me up the wrong way was when some cretin who worked for a tabloid said Mansell's car drove itself to the title. I think his exact words were "you just put your foot down and the electronics do the rest". They never mentioned that the MP4/4 was one of the most dominant cars in the history of the sport. Then when it got to '94 they implied that the FIA banned traction control to hinder Senna, and that Williams were being put at a disadvantage, when they were simply being put back on a level playing field. The quote is "if you no longer go for a gap that exists, you are no longer a racing driver". Pretty much sums Senna's approach to racing up, send it up the inside and hope the other guy is sensible enough to avoid a collision. That quote has been played over and over again and so many kids have taken it to heart, that's part of the reason you see so much shoddy racing from rookies in my opinion, particularly in GP2, they all want to be like Senna.
