Dark Sub, dont wastre your breath on Triple H. He is the guy who loves 4 teams. Makes sence, he has a 36% chance of having a winner.
Currenly he is on the "Uni-Brow" band wagon.

Sorry bud, no can agree.

FACT: For a great engine company HONDA had lots of engine explosions in 2004.
LAUGH: Although I like HONDA cars very much, their inability to make a reliable F1 engine made me
Ah, you got me there!

Why has nothing to do with the fact that they blew up. It could have been the arrangement of the stars or the added weight of the second fuel tank or the way Sato wet his pants or whatever. Why they went up like a grenade is one thing, the fact that they did blow up is yet another.








PS- yes I know the second fule tank issue may indeed not have been around in 2004, but it was too funny of an opportunity to overlook.

I'm sorry, but your math is completely screwed up. You have told me over and over JB is the future World Champion, so I would think that places my chances closer to 0.1%

Wasn't it determined that the reason why Sato, not Button, had so many engine problems because of happenstance bad luck. He would leave the pits, needing to get some good airflow across the radiator to cool the engine back down, get stuck in some type of caution or traffic just long enough to cause over heating therefore causing mechanical failure. It seemed to me that most of the problems were with when he came out of the pits and not really the reliability of the motor vs keeping the temp down after pits.
monaco 04. satos engine smoked right from the start and finally blew causing a pile up of cars. i never understood why bar didn't pull him in. maybe it was satos lucky number?

I wasn't saying every single time it blew it that was why. But majority of the time it seemed to be the reason. Honda definatley did not have a good 05 though regardless of bad luck or bad engineering. I guess thats why Honda themselves are running the show in 06

You are not understanding my reply...

I was teasing Brent, he lives near me, I know him. He said "regular old facts never made anyone laugh" and my point was the FACT that Honda had lots of engines failures made ME laugh. The whole why they exploded has nothing to do at all with my reply. Who cares why they blew up, the FACT is they did and I thought it was funny...
