The Milner Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 what would anyone do differently tho? My thought always was he let him back infront so therefor he did all he could surely with Massa getting back past him he would have been going faster than him so any speed advantage Hamilton may have had was lost. How far behind would he have had to let himself get before there was no advantage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieran_imray Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 According to the News Of The World.....Hamilton is meant to be raging with Ron DennisI thought Ron Dennis stood down and Martin Whitmarsh took over as McLaren Team Principle, so presumably the News of The World is publishing its usual bullshit. Unless I'm greatly mistaken and Ron Dennis is still involved on the pit wall and makes decisions regarding team tactics and shit like that.

Scootray Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 Dennis is still the Chairman of Mclaren. Whitmarsh is the Team Principal, the role Dennis also had before stepping down earlier this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skuzzlebutt Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 well it's turning out to a be a real ding dong of a battle between two titans in their fields, one team has the upper hand then the momentum shifts seamlessly to the other, this is going to be "nip and tuck" all the way, i can see this one going to the wire!! who could possibly predict who will come out on top by the end of the season...i am, of course talking about the battle for last place in the championship, currently being slugged out between ferrari and force india...

Lemonade Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Good race yesterday like. I don't like rain races because it isn't really in the spirit of the sport when the cars are only going at half speed, in an environment they aren't built for and watched them sliding all over the place can be a bit farcical. Though it does certainly mix things up a bit and let the guys in the smaller teams get a chance to show what they can do. Congrats to Vettel, though I was hoping to see Webber take the top step. I think he's a top driver who really could put his stamp on the sport if he was at one of the big teams (though on this years showing so far he'd be better staying at Red Bull!)

Scootray Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 I just saw that too. To be honest, they've done nothing worthy for the sport in recent times anyway, and wouldn't be too much of a loss in terms of a spectators point of view. Bernie Eccleston and his shareholders might see it differently though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 Dunno like, there's always a big Ferrari following in pretty much every country in the world. They would lose a lot of viewers I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsby Posted May 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 They're almost certainly the team with the most supporters around the globe.Commercially, it would be a disaster if they pulled out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skuzzlebutt Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 I just saw that too. To be honest, they've done nothing worthy for the sport in recent times anyway.. have we been watching the same sport? they missed out on the drivers championship by a point last year, have won the drivers 7 times out of the last eleven years, what exactly would constitue the "something worthy" refered to?They're almost certainly the team with the most supporters around the globe.Commercially, it would be a disaster if they pulled out.as a card/ piece of scaffolding/ carrying member of the tifosi i would have to agree...from an objective point of view they have the longest history in the sport, including legends like villeneuve, ascari, lauda, prost etc etc... at the wheelequally, it would look pretty poor if they were to quit while languishing at the bottom of the championship as the are now.

Dull.They have the FIA wrapped round their finger and it wouldn't surprise me if the new rule was a 40 million cap for all teams with Ferrari being allowed to spend whatever they want yet still have the advantages as if they were within budget.

I never said you had to like him you fucking spanner but you have to respect his ability for winning it that many times. I'd rather watch the best drivers in the world than not having one of the best there because you don't like him.What was useless about it?

Granted, being proficient in that driving style helps but the car is the key. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
