Wut? it was either "double booked", or, and this is the way it works in Britain, Horner who was on the same flight, should have sat in the bad seat himself or sent a minion with a promise that he would remember this and would make it up to them later.

I'd like to know what drives a man to look at the field of drivers and go "yep bottas is my man". He's the only driver who has done nothing of any note either on or off the track. I tend to find both drivers and teams equally compelling to root for.

learnincurve posted:Wut? Drivers don't always fly with their team, either. I remember after the Valencia race years ago, my wife and I were at the airport waiting for our flight and we saw lots of various team and crew around, and then standing around by himself waiting for a flight was a lonely Vitantonio Liuzzi. Maybe Max was the only one on that flight and for whatever reason the other guy who booked that seat checked in first. It's funny, because when I think about it, if I had booked a business class seat and they told me I'd be riding in the back of the bus instead, I'd probably be pretty annoyed. I assume they'd either comp the flight or refund you at least the difference, or some other meaningless airline platitude, which would probably be enough for me though. Alternate option, Jos took the good seat and let Max take the bullet.

Speaking of racers and planes, Dale Jr. had his luggage lost on his /honeymoon/ flight and was all "... poo poo. This stuff happens though!" Or well, from what we could tell anyway.

Yeah, so for a lad who's not even paying for the flight and wouldn't benefit from the refund to just shrug his shoulders and take the lesser seat shows just how good of a lad he is. And he is a good lad. he's probably nice to waiters and waitresses too.

His first press conference for Ferrari, they ask him why he decided to leave Red Bull. He looks the reporter right in the eye and says. "They. Made. Me. Fly. Coach." "Also, I'm loving Geri".

In Britain the person who booked the seats or thier boss would be held responsible as a matter of standard practice. No need to be such an arse.

Massa will be a good benchmark to measure his potential by."

You're all loving wrong about how to follow F1 You don't pick a driver you want to see win You pick drivers you want to see lose That is the true spirit of F1 There are lots of ways to select those drivers: nationality, past grudges, hating their team, driving style on track, lifestyle off track, or simply because some other oval office in this thread likes them which means by law you have to root against that poster's happiness. People like and hate teams mainly based on how they treat drivers, or which drivers they hired, but there are exceptions to this.

In Autosport Plus there's a good interview with Ross Brawn. One quote from it landed like an anvil though, at least to me, regarding Schumacher: "In that part of his career..." As careful as Brawn is with his words, I wondered if this was a commentary on Michael's return to Mercedes. I remember being really surprised in 2010 that he seemed ill-prepared at one or two races, particularly Malaysia with regard to tyre choice. Schumacher of all people - the model of teutonic preparation.

It always felt like testing and development restrictions neutered Michael's USP more than just age related fade alone.

I didn't think it was age at the time, but I did wonder if he thought he would come back and light everyone up, plus he appeared to have hobbies like his bike racing, which was definitely a new thing. That being said there were a few races where it was very much the old Schumacher.

So Brundle had a minor heart attack on the way to the Monaco Grand Prix podium last year, which was the reason he missed the Canadian Grand Prix. A couple of weeks later he raced in a Le Mans support race, qualified on pole and finished second!

On one hand no more Brundle commentary if he did die, on the other we would've probably had Crofty as lead commentator.

You can bet they made some inquiries about both Red Bull drivers, Vettel and Alonso but once that was clearly impossible who else is there? You can bet though, when they announce Bottas, that whether they tell us or not that's a contract with a 1 year break clause.
