Elaine is McLaren.

Kramer is Honda.

Newman is Alonso.

This fits and works way more than it has any right to.

Lol Lewis got taken out to dinner by Liberty and then Ross Brawn. Horner has yet to meet with any of them and is being salty in interviews about the loss of Bernie.

Yeh Horner sucks compared to those brilliant team bosses like Arrivabene, Boullier, Domenicalli, Whitmarsh, Claire Williams.

Yeah they don't sound too bad. Not a huge high end shriek like the V10s or anything but a nice low bellow and decent range of tone.

Some say that Retarded Matt Damon's title was a lucky fluke but imo it takes real skill to not crack under pressure of that magnitude.

I agree with this post. People herald Bernie as a saviour of F1, but all he did was make himself alot of money. He has personally kept the sport back at least 30 years. Good riddance.

It may not be that bad. They were doing times that aren't bad if they have little power and with unrestricted development if they an engineer in the reliability they'll get the power.

Or they suck and will finish 9th.

:swoon: I can't get enough of are Dan :swoon:
Bernie ran F1 for himself, which is why it's survived as long as it has. Ross Brawn's fallen into the classic trap of trying to appeal to the fans, otherwise known as commercial suicide, because fans of any sport let alone F1 are fickle and stupid, and if nothing else trying to chase all their demands will make the ol' funds leak like a sieve.

Nah. He was smart enough not to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs. He just choked it with his belt for 30 odd years to squeeze as much gold out as he could.
