Veearrhsix 0 Posted August 5, 2009 Schuey's main competitor though - if the car is up to standard, is Button - who has the most similar driving style to Schuey. :scratch: I always see Button's style as similar to that of what Hill's used to be... Best we could hope for is that Schuey is pushed off Track preferably in the first lap. No more more than Ferrari deserves. Yeah, that'll be from Raikkonen to 'save face', as the saying goes. Don't get me wrong tho, I'd prefer to see a straight race any day. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jazzdevil 0 Posted August 11, 2009 A mate of mine has just emailed to say that Schumacher has pulled out of his much publicised return to Ferrari as the F2007 test has stuffed his neck again... nothing on BBC or itv-f1 though!? :shrug: Edit: there is now... http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/8186319.stm Ball.bag. :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vwdeviant 0 Posted August 11, 2009 "Alonso in mid-season team switch drama!" I can see the headlines now... I wonder what the "Ferrari International Assistance" will do now then? :epicfail: TBH was very unlikely to happen, but a great marketing excercise!

Wendy 0 Posted August 11, 2009 Yeah, so he didn't even make it to the first corner. !!! Wimp! , he's pulled out - too scared of the competition :lol: and the thought that he may not be of the standard when he retired F1. His Ego couldn't take it !!!! :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6 0 Posted August 11, 2009 Shouldn't there be a big IF he can prove himself to be medically fit? I think a dodgy neck/back is the last thing you want! Quoted for truth :tongue: All hail and bow down to the prophet VR6. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jay23Sx 0 Posted August 11, 2009 Maybe he's busy being The Stig instead. On a serious note, he's been seen in Cranleigh (not far from the TG track) every filming day. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or just get 5 burly men in dark suits to turn up in the middle of the night in a Big black Sedan and a large bag and "Borrow" him... Capesh? (no Mafia smily?)

corozin 0 Posted August 18, 2009 Aw PISH! Bloody Spaniards! :lol: Not a surprise at all, especially when you consider how much sponsorship Santender are currently ploughing into Formula One. But more to the point it would have been ludicrous to ban Renault for an incident like that when there have been other similar incidents where race-bans were not meted out in punishment. When you consider the actual consequences in each case it's arguable that Brawn should also be serving a race ban for parts falling off thier own car and causing injury.

Yes and No John, the wheelman WILL have known that it didn't go on properly, the team WILL have been told (in code), and Alonso WILL have felt it, a lose wheel doesnt feel like flat tyre... HOWEVER in all the records of Radio conversation between driver and team, it will never have been "directly" mentioned... they basically sent him out the end of pit lane on a gamble it'd stay on a lap... Just becuase it a Spanish Driver (using losest terms) at a Spanish Grand-prix... smacks of Bernie and yet more "Politicking" .. Bet Renault said they'd consider withdrawing if they weren't let off too! Seems that with the departure of Big-Ron Flav has stepped his "game" up a gear as well...
