Aveiro-F1
Excuse me, but I'm going to talk and verbally abuse you like you have another person in this thread: BUT: ARE YOUG ****ING RETARDED?

Living was an issue the second Schumacher had the huge accident and forced Michelin to investigate this. Right then and there, LIVING became an issue in today's race.

I'll allow you to officially withdraw your half-witted statement though.

That'll be a Michelin tyre that none of the running cars are using?

Do keep up, Aveiro. And I'm heartened to see that you're STILL refusing to condemn the attempted assault/attempted murder by the "fans" on the drivers who have chosen to - and are contractually obliged to - drive simply because they are driving. Until they took it into their idiot skulls - encouraged by the member to whom you refer - to throw things at the cars, the six cars driving were at no elevated safety risk above a normal race weekend.

So for them the issue of "living to fight another day" didn't exist until the moron brigade turned up. And YOU called the six drivers "moronic" for daring to do their jobs. You're awesome!

As an aside, it's nice to see that you admitted verbally abusing me personally. I just pointed out that the statement robin2223 made was "******* retarded". Do you agree or disagree?
 
Aveiro-F1
In terms of the track's surface point taken, but there's a huge entrance between the last corner in F1 then to the first corner in Indy, so most of the feedback Bridgestone would've gotten from Firestone would've been completely unhelpful, unless referring to the track's layout on a straightway, which obviously wasn't an issue.

In f1 you're making the last turn at a totally different degree and speed then you would driving the reverse from Indy coming off the straight.

It doesn't matter though. The track was resurfaced. Any data on what the track is like could be helpful. You have to remember that F1 is about taking the data down the nth smallest degree, so any data can be helpful and wouldn't matter how little it was.
 
Bernie just left the track, and got heckled on the way out, heh!

Why couldn't they have just let everyone get new tires? New Michelins for those guys, new Bridgestones for the others, and everyone's on even ground, no harm done. The only person that would have cared about that is probably Bernie...

I've always thought auto racing suffered from too much regulations (damn, the two ferraris almost wrecked each other, now THAT would have been hilarious!), but this is just stupid. I thought the people running this show were smart enough to have figured something out, but perhaps I was wrong...
 
Haha.I wish you guys could hear Paul Stoddart in an interview right now. He is soooo pissed at FIA. He used every slang in the book. Dutch TV,you gotta love it.
 
Ha! This is funny! The SPEED commentators are joking about the Ferraris taking each other out and then one of the Jordans or Minardis winning the race. Imagine that, Minardis first win. The 2005 USGP. :lol:

Speaking of Nextel Cup, does everybody agree that the SAFER wall helped Ralfie?
Saved his life?
Man, those NASCAR guys really are smart!!

The SAFER wall definitely helped to soften the blow. Though without the wall, I doubt his life would have been threaten. But it definitely helped to keep him much more safe.

Yes; because the bridgestones are doing MUCH better than the michelins right?

The minardis and jordans weren't gonna run until Jordan decided to run, FYI.

Now, if you looked at what I wrote, I never said that the fans were doing was right; so you just wasted a pargraph right there.

That would require the Jordans to take each other out too. Minardi are last and 2nd last, or 5th and 6th!

Probobly helped keep him from having a similar in severity injuries to what he got last year, though.

Michelin's data suggested they would last a maximum of 10 laps before failure. The Bridgestone cars are now on lap 60. So yes, they ARE doing MUCH better.

Edit: In fact they all made it to the end of the race. A 100% finish - or 63 more laps ( (730%) per tyre than Michelin predicted.

I didn't say you did. I pointed out that you refused to condemn it, instead referring to the drivers as "moronic".

Is this still your position? I'll allow you to officially withdraw your no-witted statement.
 
Haha, either the Minardi's are poorly setup, or is it the drivers who's a bit in the low side of the pool, but to lock up their brakes when there isn't a car in 10 sec behind 'nor in front of him is just lame.

Anyways, I think this is partly FIA's fault by this new no tyres change rule :indiff:
 
Imagine if Karthikeyan won! good on him!

oh and I bet politics ment that they just couldnt have put bridgestones on all the cars........
 
Well, at least it was just cans and water bottles, people.
Derek is now trying to brainwash us into thinking that Reubens is angry with Michael and maybe M will give R another gift.
 
You know, I personally wouldn't be that upset if they canned the USGP. To me, it's just another F1 race, and I don't have any plans or dreams of going to a live Formula race (and if I did, I'd just as soon go to Europe). If there were an American driver, I would be disappointed with no USGP.

I would be thrilled if they moved to a new, different US track, especially if they came back to Watkins Glen!

Yeah, right.

I saw what happened. Barrichello screwed the pooch as much as MS. He owes Barrichello jack.
 
You're totally right.
R is just as much responsible as M.
And Michelin isn't necessarily responsible for this fiasco, and they didn't really cause it either.
 
Italian TV truned off the race for a flower show!

Ha-ha! Good one! At least the announcers are trying to make this fun.
 
Here in the UK the ITV comentators are more serious......they are really annoyed as they were once F1 drivers.....they are as disgusted as the fans......

Apparently Ferrari have been telling Barichello to hold back to let MS win......that it tipical of Ferrari......always putting him down! :grumpy:
 
The stupid things about to end now!.......

The boooo - ing the in crowd is rising! for the people that are still there!
