That's Robert Kubica. Third driver.

Don't let them get you down Cape. At least you have a standpoint i.e. Schumacher is one of the best F1 drivers of all time. You know how hard it was to defend HHF (who was world champ material) and Sauber as well. You've got it easy.

 

[Cape]

Yeah easy. Until people only say Schumacher only won his world championships because they either:
- cheated
- hand the fia bend rules for ferrari
- had the best car and team orders.
Either way, people will always be stubborn.

btw Komit, just read something about HHF. Looks like hes heading into retirement. Doesn't have a DTM drive for next season.

... The test driver?

Thankyou, Captain Obvious. Knew I could count on you!

 

[Komit]

He might be going to Audi next year (DTM). But we'll wait and see.

 

[Cape]

That's quite alright, Miss Oblivious.

What am I Oblivious too?? Huh!!!


Anyways:
Oh, I know, I could convince everyone that little ralfie boy is the best driver in the world

And who hates midlands livery? It looks like a back to front ferrari.

 

[Cape]

Well, let's see ... you asked who the third driver was as if you didn't know

I knew he was the third driver, I'm not that stupid!

...Got a pic?

Its the only one I could find. Its Biaggi testing. Biaggi is such a pooft as well.

 

[Cape]

Oh here we go. Another car that looks red, so Cape gets confused. No wonder she hates the team ...

I won't get confused because I don't have blonde hair!
And ferrari and midland will be at opposite ends of the field. Ferrari at the front, midland at the back. Actually, the midland car looks like the ferrari at the 2001 Monza GP, when they painted the nose black.

And why are you picking on me so much tonight Argo?

 

[Tuna]

I wonder why this thread is rated four stars instead of five compared to the Football thread?

BTW Ferrari aren't the only major team on Bridgestones this year so how do you know they will be able to claim the championships?

 

[Cape]

Just because williams and toyota are now on bridgestones, doesn't mean that they can use them. It took mclaren more than a season to sort out their new michelin tyres after they switched from bridgestone, but that could be because Michelin and mclaren suck. Therefore, ferrari have a head start. Although, toyotas times during testing have been quite good.

And Ralf is a great driver, never been out of the top 5 in the championship, beat jenson (which is easy to do), and consistantly out paced montoya. Ralfs problem over the past few seasons was that he couldn't come to terms with the one lap qualifying, and settled for a race strategy, unlike Trulli who would qualify with one lap of fuel in his car. Ralf could have won Belgium last year, but toyota fucked him over, and he was on pole position during Japan (which by the way, equaled Michael's number of poles for the season), even though it was a media stunt by toyota. And Ralfie was also on the podium at Hungary, which was an excellent drive. And he was on the podium at China.

Gah, I'm really never going to win against you people.

 

[Cape]

Oh my, someone certainly got out on the wrong side of bed this morning, your rather grumpy, or your back to your old cynical self. hmm....

If Ralf wasn't a good driver, do you think he would still be in F1? No. Give toyota one or two more years (max) and they will be constantly fighting for wins. Ralf did just as well as Michael did last year, if we exclude the race at Indy, Michael would have had 52 points and Ralf 45, now thats the closest it would have been in years. And during 2003, Ralf was a serious championship contender. Anyway, I know Ralf is like your 20th favourite driver on the grid at the moment, and thats fine, I really don't care what you think of Ralf, I think hes a good driver, so

And I'd hardly call williams and toyota mid - level teams.

OMG! I saw Kimi smiling, when I was watching Australia 2002, I must say, his driving certainly has improved since then. And Eddie McGuire is the biggest fucktard EVER!

Edit: The 2006 mclaren will be testing next week at Barcelona. Start watching testing times with the 06 cars, it will give a clue as to who has done their homework.

 

[Komit]

Argo, Damon Hill has won a world championship so you can't really compare Ralf to him even if their progression and fame in F1 are somewhat contributed to the novelty of their last name.

Ralf is an excellent driver on his day - even better than Michael - but he is too inconsistent. He has a few tracks where he usually performs well (i.e. Canada) and the rest of the time, he is shit. He finds it very hard to adapt to new situations, new cars, new environments and can't even park his normal road-car (ask Cora). He is a good driver, but nowhere near the top 5 in F1 Today.

On that note, who are your top 5 drivers currently in F1. Not favourite drivers, but in genuine F1 ability.....

Mine are....

1. Michael Schumacher
2. Kimi Raikkonnen
3. Fernando Alonso
4. Juan Pablo Montoya
5. Giancarlo Fisichella

We should compile our Top 100 F1 Drivers of all time and find out "BOS Top 100 F1 Drivers of All Time" but couldn't be fucked doing that now.

 

[Cape]

haha ... Argo dear, Komit does have a point. I could name all the tracks that Ralf excels in.
- Cananda
- Hockenheim
- Nurburgring
- San Marino

But he is a consistant finisher, finishing in the points in most races, it may not be on the podium every race, but still, points win you world championships.

And you'd believe everything Cora says? That woman has inbuilt airbags!

Top 5 drivers:
- Michael Schumacher
- Kimi Raikkonen
- David Coulthard
- Fernando Alonso
- Nick Heidfeld.

btw: I found this website which has a sound file of all the engines, compares the v8s with the v10s, toyota sounds very strange though.

Damn it Argo! Post your top 5 drivers based on ability....

Otherwise I'm going to hunt you down! :wave:

[Cape]

*Snaps fingers* Bring me the keys to my Scuderia Toro Rosso!

*Gives the man what he wants, the keys* But why Scuderia Toro Rosso? There are better teams, I could get you a pair of ferrari overalls

38963) Takuma Sato
38964) Zsolt Baumgartner

They don't even count as drivers They are just crash testing dummies employed by the FIA to determine the safety of F1 cars.

Holy shit, 50 drivers .... eh ....
1. Argonaut
2. Cape
3. Michael Schumacher

3 will do

As for Super Aguri F1, I hope they don't get the bond together, I don't want Sato on the track ever again. The thing with that team is that one day they are in the news for one day, and then next 2 weeks theres nothing. f1 world is deadly boring at the moment, this sucks!

A fun game to play. Yay! I won

 

[Cape]

Hey, I'm an arrogant F1 driver here. I know I could get a better drive than an STR, but I'll give you all a lesson in racing in it.

You? Arrogant? hehe, I nearly fell off my chair laughing. Um ... what about going to Red Bull instead?

Oh, I saw F1 ads at Macquarie shopping centre yesterday, I was having the biggest psycho that Ralf, Heidfel and Monterio are on the picture and Michael wasn't. But it was only for a competition Then I stole like 20 competition slips.

Speaking of shopping, I wanted to buy earrings that were in the shape of an F1 car, but they were expensive, and then mum wouldn't let me buy F1 cufflings. My parents don't like it that I like motorsport.

btw - rumours of Belgium being cancelled?

Oh, I'm changing my top 50 drivers, cause I sound up myself
1 - 48. Argonaut
49. Michael Schumacher
50. Cape
There, thats better.

Edit: I hope your happy now Argonaut, the whole thread has turned around to you. Are you able to walk through a door, even with that big ego of yours?

 

[dan_ster]

GO BMW-Sauber!!!

Amen.

re: The Official F1 Thread

Actually, the driver's head is the biggest aero disturbance besides the tyres. IF engineers could have it there way, there would be no driver at all and aero "covers" over the wheel. But covering the wheels would be a contravention of FIA regulations.
