Formula 1 - 2008 Season

[Kaotik]

It was a disaster for Kovy who again had his race ruined from the very beginning. I think he would have had a good chance for a win/podium today if he hadn't stalled on the grid.

Yep, apparently mechanical failure though, they changed his steeringwheel because he couldn't get gear on

Wasn't it a software failure and they needed a new wheel to reset? Mechanical failure would probably have meant he didn't start at all. Brilliant race.

 

[_xxx_]

The only reason for switching the wheel can be a faulty contact somewhere or a bad steering angle sensor. It's just a bunch of buttons and levers, no intelligence in there besides eventually a LIN-bus controller.

 

[Bludd]

Yeah, from what I read it was a software failure.

 

[Davros]

i told kovy upgrading to vista was a bad idea

Alonso takes the blame for crashing with Heidfeld

Whatever. If I watch it on youtube I dont see anything wet at all. Its a straight piece of tarmac looking all the same.

You forget that David Coultard had the same thing happen to him the day before, and I watched the race again and saw Sutil's car twitch at that spot just in front of Kimi but he caught it, where as Kimi didn't.

Bernie wants Maxie-boy to quit. I think he should have resigned when the story broke and I hope the meeting on Tuesday will evict him. I think he's done a good job for safety in F1 but his arrogant remarks that F1 can't survive without him is just like saying that he is the only competent person at FIA, which clearly isn't true or he wouldn't have gone to the nazi hooker orgy.

So because coulthard did it its oke. Coulthard manages to crash cars even when he's on a straight with perfect weather (figure of speech), the guy should have stopped racing 10 years ago.

 

[Bludd]

Well, at least 1 year ago.

If he doesn't have a good result next race, I think Red Bull definitely won't renew his contract.

 

[Bludd]

Mosley won the confidence vote. I am disappointed.

 

[tongue_of_colicab]

Why? Because he didnt got voted out for the sex thing or because you'd rather see him leave no matter the sex thing?

 

[Bludd]

Because he didn't get voted out because of the sex thing.

His stance has been that he doesn't deny doing it, and it is not his fault he was caught doing it, which is preposterous.

I found this to be a good article about it.

 

[tongue_of_colicab]

I cant say anything other than im glad he didnt got voted out because of that because it would have been stupid. Who cares what he does in his own time? Who cares about so called image that might do damage? thats bollocks anyway. Nobody's not going to buy a BMW for what max did.

 

[Davros]

In fact i wont buy a car unless the c.e.o indulges in kinky sex

He is head of an international organisation which represents the national motor clubs around the world. Why should he be held to different standards than politicians?

 

[tongue_of_colicab]

Personally I really couldnt care less about what politicians do with their sex lives. What matters is how they run the country or how max runs the FIA or how a CEO runs the company. Why should I care what he does in bed? does that change anything to his performance? does that makes the product less? no it doesnt. Only stupid overdone political correctness is in play by some people that still concider sex as something dirty or strange. Its not just as doing things like this isnt exactly weird or rare either. People should stop the useless bitching about things like this. You can have sex with some hookers like plenty of people do and the whole world will get on your back and you can start wars under false lies and nobody seems to care... No sense at all.

 

[Bludd]

He is unfaithful to his wife in a nazi-themed orgy with prostitutes. It makes him untrustworthy.

 

[tongue_of_colicab]

No it doesnt. First of all the nazi team doesnt have anything to do with it. The nazi's wernt exactly the nicest of people but that doesnt make the untrustworthy. Secondly going to prostitutes doesnt mean anything either because lots of (married) people do that. Secondly bill clinton was unfaithfull to his wife too but people dont exactly think he is untrustworthy either.

 

[DJ12]

Mosley isn't doing a good job.

Everything he has implemented for the last 10 years has made F1 worse.

It is a missed opportunity, and I'm sure promises where made to various members and we will start seeing some rather strange things happening in the coming months.
