And what has McLaren promised HK if he beats Louise Snivley and he brings home the WDC and helps win the WCC??

(did you notice RD promises the girl a car if SHE wins both....um, almost impossible for Ms. Snivley to win WCC by herself....see my point??)

This is just another reason to hate that prudishly limey Wench, the good thing is Louise Snivley isnt winning anything but a few battles this year at best. The War will be won by Ferrari (unfortunately) but hopefully by HK!

I would give doug's and GpMikes left testicle to hear HK say... "Sorry Louise that I am better than you and stopped you from winning the car... But Ms Snivley, with the 26 million Euro you made this year and the outstanding funds you made from you AutoBiography written 12 races into your career (that omitted you chocked your girly girl ass out of the 07 championship TWICE) why not just ask RD if you can buy the car?? I the Flying Finn EARNED my WDC..you earned money.. now by the car you silly woman"

Flite, I could make an argument that World Rally matches F1 at the pinnacle of car racing. Sadly, most Speed TV coverage is only the highlights.

Crash-car? Nas-crap? Rubbin' is racin'? No form of oval racing tickles me but at least the dirt heats are shorter.

Yes, FM is very capable, however, he is also as far as I'm concerned way too emotional or something. FM can show up to the track happy and have an awesome weekend, and he can show up to the track all cranky and looking mad and have a disasterious weekend. What I see in FM is a gifted driver who lets his environment control him, he is subject to the blowing winds, he does not have the focus to not be effected by so many random outside influences. All too often we have seen once something goes wrong for FM on Friday or Saturday his whole weekend goes right down the shitter.
And FA is the direct opposite??



I'd rather have FM over FA in the Ferrari seat any day.

From a personality point of view I agree, from a driver's ability to make points I do not agree. I believe FA would drive circles around FM if FA was in an equal Ferrari.

But if FA decides that he has to battle KR for the lead, both may end up getting no points.

You'll note that KR gets points when teamed with FM.

Keep in mind, FM "gave up" any chance at a championship last year in favor of KR.

If FM was the one winning the championship instead of KR, this story would be the other way around.

I am in no way trying to defend FM or put KR down as a driver. KR is my #1. Always has been. I just think that the article and everyones assumptions of FM are jumping to conclusion and not realizing what kind of driver he is capable of being. With everyone gunning for KR most of the support has shifted in his favor at the Ferrari camp. It would be the other way around if FM was in the championship slot instead of KR (even with the errors). [/QUOTE]
The reason he "gave up" is because he was behind the in points - he had no choice if he wanted to be a TEAM player.

If he wanted to look after himself, he would not be in a Ferrari for much longer....

I don't think I am jumping to conclusions, we have several season of "evidence" to support us.

PS - I am not a FM hater, I would actually love to see him win a championship in a Ferrari, I just don't think he can right now.

Absolutely right! No way LH can win the WCC by himself, he needs his TEAM which includes the second car, the other driver, the engineers, the designers, the pit crew...etc.

honestly i dont think FA would drive circles around FM all the time, but i do see it happening about 60% of the time(just throwing out some number). we have seen FM perform better than KR, but like u stated be4 it all depends on how good of a weekend he has.

Three Wide

"This was one of my favorite moments from the last GP in Malaysia. Clip starts onboard Alonso's Renault in a sandwich between Couthard and Nick Heidfeld. Alonso trying all he can to get past the Scottish Chicane, finally suckers him into taking a too defensive line and gets the jump off the corner. But when Coulthard moves over to try and block him, Heidfeld in the BMW makes the right guess and burns them both. Great bit of racing in a formula where there is not supposed to be any passing..."
