And now the press regulation charter's been granted the government no longer need a broadcaster to manipulate public opinion. RIP BBC.
Ferrari don't hold the fastest pitstop, Mercedes do: http://www.grandprix.com/ns/ns26703.html?utm_medium=twitter&utm_source=grandprixdotcom ------------- 'In recent days, both Mercedes and Ferrari have claimed to now hold the record for the fastest pitstop ever recorded in formula one. We reported after Suzuka that Mercedes had stopped the clock during the Japanese grand prix at 2.02 seconds, which is 0.04 seconds faster than the previous pitstop record set earlier this season by Red Bull. But at almost exactly the same time, Ferrari was also claiming a 1.95 second pitstop in Japan. "Who is right?" wondered Auto Motor und Sport correspondent Michael Schmidt. "It's always a question of what you measure, and how you measure it," Mercedes' team manager Ron Meadows is quoted as saying. For instance, Ferrari reportedly times pitstops with its own overhead cameras, while Mercedes uses the timing done by the British broadcaster Sky. Schmidt said Fernando Alonso's 'record' 1.95 second stop at Suzuka was actually timed as 2.11 seconds by the broadcaster.' ------------------ Ferrari use there own biased timing system to declare their speed, while Mercedes use somebody else's UNBIASED! timing screen to prove their speed which isn't in favour of them (trying) to prove a point. Always in our shadow Ferrari!
Seems Newey is getting his wish to design a boat. He's going to be designing one for Ben Ainslie and Ian Percy for the America's cup. Good luck to him, I just hope it means his mind isn't fully on the game for next year and Vettel doesn't have the best car on the grid.
Susie Wolff joins Race of Champions line-up .... No comment Should do well against 11 time WDC's Germany
Confirmation that Bernie is senile, so comical and odd you could think it was from something like The Day Today. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/formula1/24831606
Never has been. Playing the doddering old fool now??? "Look, I'm way too much of a fool to know how to rip off millions upon millions yer honour." Incredible.
It made me think of Rupert Murdoch playing the doddery old man when he appeared before Parliament: "This is the most humble day of my life... etc." Was that what Bernie was up to? Edit: Sorry, Sarge, just saw you'd already posted something very similar. Great minds and all that
Yeah but then it worked for Murdoch. It's just his minions who are up in court right now. Incidentally, what would happen if, heaven forbid, Bern was found guilty?
lol, I doubt it Murdochs doddering old fool impression that got him off, it was probably the dossiers of dirt he'd dug up on everyone in power that did that.
The bloody cheek! Benson has regurgitated an old article on Bernie, changed a few words and is trying to pass it off as new: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/formula1/23346006 He missed a bit though:
Hello one and all, I've been on holiday for a while to celebrate the end of my uni semester, so that's why I haven't posted lately. To make up for it, here's a funny video [video=youtube;Ahg90HABOy4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ahg90HABOy4[/video]
