DelayedPenalty Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 This whole mess is one huge...well, mess! Mosley now wants a public apology from the FOTA teams for slandering his name and giving false reports of the proceedings to the media. If I was FOTA I would basically tell him to stick it up his Nazi-fetish loving ass (also his father was apparently the leader of Britain's fascist party at one point in time I read somewhere?) I think it would be suicide for the FIA not to keep the FOTA teams around, because the name Ferrari alone is enough to drive a series to success. Mosley is walking on thin ice now. A crisis was averted when the two sides came to an agreement, but his whining may cause another split in the fault line. Don't tempt them Max! They will leave!

buzzcut Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Anyone else think that it's time for an armed insurrection in F1? I think we might have found the trigger...courtesy of Bernie Ecclestone: Ecclestone prefers dictatorship to democracy.Essentially he liked what Hitler and Hussein did in the past. Is he INSANE??? Don't answer that question. This interview proves it. The CCSLC's resident Geelong Cats fan. Viva La Vida or Death And All His Friends. Sounds like something from a Rocky & Bullwinkle story arc.

It must be a requirement to be a top ranking official in Formula 1. Mosley acts out Nazi scenes with his hooker girlfriends, and Bernie just idolizes the man...OUT, BOTH OF YOU!

TFoA Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Exactly. It's doing nothing but taking the attention off of the season, which has been pretty interesting. The day that the break ends and the German Grand Prix weekend gets underway can't come soon enough for F1, especially with all of this going on.

DelayedPenalty Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Socialism; economic theory based on government or organizational control for the betterment of a country or organization (Formula 1). In other words, Bernie supports a dictatorship, which is basically the way F1 has been run for the past 2 decades or more. That's all fine and dandy when referring to the sport, but even thinking about trying to say what Hitler did was good? Any way you slice it, it was a ridiculous comment to make.

rvrdgsfn Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 They both need to be shown the door, immediately.Looks like the big name teams will get their own racing championship then, I mean if you have Bernie making ridiculous comments & Max Mosley doing God knows what & they both are part of running F1, yeah they got problems. Get rid of Bernie, then F1 will excel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFoA Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Well, for those who didn't know, Felipe Massa was critically injured (fractured skull) in a wreck, reminiscent of the same type of wreck that killed Tom Pryce way back when (except for one major detail, but I won't say it here.). Now there's a god news, good news situation for Ferrari and F1 fans. Good news: Felipe Massa is ok and could definitely make a full recovery. The other good news:Ferrari says Michael Schumacher will replace injured driver Felipe Massa.Did not see that coming. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epper Posted July 29, 2009 Author Share Posted July 29, 2009 Ferrari says Michael Schumacher will replace injured driver Felipe Massa.Did not see that coming.whoa. neither did i. right after i saw massa was out for the year, i looked up their test drivers: Luca Badoer and Marc Gene. Both former F1 backmakers. Totally didn't expect to see Schuey back, but hey, it gives me one more villain to cheer against! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schumi was the best choice. The current F1 Ferrari test drivers both have F1 experience in Marc Gene (36 Grand Prix starts) and Luca Badoer has not driven in a Formula One race since 1999, but has been Ferrari test driver since 1997. I just hope that he won't die in a car for coming back. Sadly, I think that from the damage which Massa received, to the brain and an eye, I think his career is over. He is very lucky to be alive as the Surtees accident was days before and from loose equipment as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelayedPenalty Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Renault is appealing their suspension at Valencia following the Alonso loose wheel incident. I think the FIA over-reacted with a full team suspension. Yes the Surtees accident was a tragedy, but there have been many other cases of vehicles with loose wheels/parts being kept out or sent out following a pitstop.

dfwabel Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Schumacher will earn as much as 3.2 million euros ($4.5 million) at every race he competes in for the rest of the season, Spanish newspaper Diario AS reported on its Web site. He?ll have to apply for a new FIA super license as his old one expired after his retirement, the newspaper said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRenesis Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 For the love of anything and everything I hope Schumi wins at least 1 race in the return. I know Massa is a competitor and is already looking forward to his return, but take the rest of the year off. Michael has this under control and if anyone on that team is in danger of not coming back for '010 its unfortunately Kimi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
