If someone was going to read that and it be added over a Video, best sounding voice to use would be a little girls, make it sound like shes reading a fairy tail (i.e. remove the swear words) and it could be magical.

Well I can do vague standard Brit or broad Somerset. The first is probably preferable. I've got a few bits and pieces of BBC intros from various videos that I can chop about. If I get the time over the next day or so I'll have a crack at it. Need to sort out my writeups for Spa and Formula One Race Winner Pastor Maldonado too.

Hey so Van Der Garde is taking Sauber to court, like right now, because he's claiming they welched on the race seat that they supposedly signed him up for. He's apparently already won a cause in Switzerland that they ignored and is now seeking relief in Victoria's Supreme Court.

Notice me!!! FELIPE MASSA This plucky Brazilian underdog made waves in 2006 when he joined Ferrari, guided to multiple race wins under the guidance of engineer and visor advisor Rob Smedley. Massa's form peaked in 2008 when he was WDC... for about a minute until hip hop sensation Lewis Hamilton literally took the championship at the very last corner. The following season saw disaster, when pensioner Rubens Barichello thought he was playing Mario Kart for a moment and dropped a After Ferrari let Massa go at the end of 2013, he was picked up by Williams, who also signed on Rob Smedley, keeping F1's favourite radio duo together. Although Massa had much more success with Williams compared to Ferrari, in no small part helped by a non-poo poo car, he still was outpaced by his Finnish teammate, potato-man Valteri Bottas. Massa remains a popular driver with his cheerful attitude and underdog appeal, but it remains to be seen if he can recapture his old form. Outlook doubtful

Can't Van der Garde and cuntface just accept they're poo poo drivers and take a hint? I legitimately want to see Sauber improve and Nasr has been excellent for them in testing.

quote:Sauber has used the issue of safety in its desperate fight to stop Giedo van der Garde from racing its car in the Australian GP. http://adamcooperf1.com/2015/03/09/sauber-risk-of-physical-harm-or-even-death-if-van-der-garde-races/ This is ridiculous on so many levels. Does he even have a single bit of support within Sauber whatsoever? All the mechanics just taking turns to take a poo poo in his car.

How is this anything but Sauber's fault? If what's reported is correct they: Agreed to race van der Garde in 2015; Agreed to race two other drivers in 2015; Dropped van der Garde; Ignored a ruling in Switzerland that this was tantamount to unfair dismissal; And are now feigning they've been ambushed when they deliberately chose not comply with the Swiss ruling. I'm with van der Garde on this one. If someone has to take a ridiculous court case to draw attention to this poo poo then so be it.

I don't know why you'd try to sue to get a race seat anyway (whether you are 'in the right' or not). Even if you win you know that every single race would be fraught with mysterious problems and the team would make your life a living hell and having a lawsuit on your resume would basically ensure that no other team would even entertain the notion of employing you.

Good job, dork. His career, as already stated, is probably over anyway. Sauber already clearly don't like him - they've chosen to ignore the Swiss ruling that the seat is his. How everyone is getting angry at him for doing what he's legally entitled to do against a team that has dicked him over at every conceivable stage is beyond me.

I'm not angry at him, but contracts mean less than poo poo in auto racing in all of its forms as has been shown time and again. It's more a case of 'why the hell is he even bothering' than anything, because even if he somehow ends up racing, you know goddamn well that his team is going to do everything they can to gently caress him there, too.

Doing nothing when your employer breaches contract is counterproductive to getting employers to not treat you like a walkover.

Sashimi posted:This, basically. I don't know how most goons would take it if they got hired at a job, only to be told to gently caress off because someone else got hired and took the position you had already signed for before it had even started. Is it unfair dismissal if you haven't even begun the job? Like others have said, he's just shooting himself in the foot and taking Sauber with him for the ride.

So he's shooting himself in the foot by expecting Sauber to stand by what they said and Sauber, despite ignoring the previous ruling in his favour, is 'being taken along for the ride'?

No employer in F1 will care if you are a walkover or not. They will care if they are going to have to pay legal costs to defend themselves in the event of a lawsuit. If we were talking about an ordinary joe in an industry with potential employers everywhere with almost no media visibility, it'd totally make sense to sue.
