David, for many seasons you had a car that was capable of challenging for the World Championship. You did naff all.

Totally - had the mid 90s Williams and the late 90s McLaren but was nothing more than an also-ran.

Finished 3rd all over the place. Should have **** all over Hakkinen, but didn't.

Because he wasn't good enough?

True True

Not like Hakkinen was amazing, he just ended up playing second fiddle to him because of that 'gentleman's agreement'. The impression that you get with him though is that of a very solid number 2 rather than someone you'd put as your main driver.

Now McLaren has been caught stealing secrets from Ferrari.

Awesome race from Kimi at Silverstone, easily had the fastest car all weekend imo.

Impressed with Kubica to come back after that horrifying airborne crash. Massive effort, tbh. He's a decent driver, that kid.

If it was the mid-90s, he had died, no question.

****ing hell, I've missed the last couple of races and had no idea he was back driving already. What a gun, big respect for the man.

He wanted to race in Indianapolis the weekend after, but the doctors reckoned if he did it again then he'd get a severe injury because his body had been smashed about a bit (even though nothing broke) the weekend before. Came back for France last week.

Was looking at RK's wiki page and I have a question:

Has anyone else ever been disqualified on their Formula 1 début?

Martin Brundle for one.

Interesting times ahead with the Hamilton/Alonso battle, one must wonder if we'll see both of them driven for McLaren in '08

 

[PhoenixFire]

Well they claimed to be best mates in some interview, but how much of it is actually true I don't know.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

None of it, obviously.

 

[PhoenixFire]

Well yeah, I'm not too sure that anyone really believed it, I guess the PR manager or someone told them to do it.

I'm gonna find Sebastian Vettel and eat his children. ****ing ****.

Nah, Alonso ****ed him over essentially - all was fine before that, he was 2nd, had Vettel 3 or 4 seconds behind with Heikki a further 20 or so down the road, and most importantly of all he was catching Hamilton.

I almost cried when my mum told me what happened.

Loved Webber's interview, though lol.

AWTA, the man has no luck.

Thought I'd dig this up while the stewards are busy screwing over Hamilton to make the thing slightly more interesting.

Massa & Ferrari try to their best to cause an accident in the pit lane - not even a drivethrough penalty.

If only Hamilton was a German, then he'd get everything nilwitted decision go in his favour.

Stewards are a joke. No way was that deserving of a penalty. Especially as it didnt have any effect on the race outcome either.
