Perez is all good for next year, right? I thought I heard someone saying that.

Wirth1000 posted:Of all the things to change around in that shamble of an organization you ditch Alonso of all people instead of, say, Raikkonen? What? It doesn't seem to make sense at all, unless they wanted Vettel so badly that they were willing to put up with whatever he wanted. Vettle vs. Alonso at Ferrari? Who on earth wouldn't want to see that? Not that it's a new concept to anyone here, but Vettel would look at that team and think, "I would LOVE to race against Raikkonen at Ferrari!"

Man, it's got to be tough to work for Ferrari, especially as an Italian. I'd constantly have ulcers about the cut and fabric of my suits, the designer that makes my shirts, whether or not my shoes are good enough, the pattern (or lack thereof) on my tie, my haircut, my sunglasses, my belt/suspenders (braces), pinky rings, cigarette brands, ugh Jesus. It's too much stress.

That's the appearance they give. But many of them are secretly worried. "Brioni: is-a too mainstream?" Staring into the mirror, paralyzed by indecision. It's a common reason for taking days off work in Milan.

I don't understand the anyone's infatuation with yacht racing. I guess any time there are 2 or more of one type of vehicle... What I want to see is a Red-Bull-style air race but with 747s. Like, specifically modified for racing too. By Arab shieks. They would probably have to widen the courses up a little bit.

Well I don't see why we can't have more than one constructor in this new form of motorsport. I do admit that the Ay-rabs would be more likely to go for the Airbus platform, although the A380 is nearly twice the price of the Boeing. I don't know how many tenths you're going to gain by spending the extra $200m but I'm sure a lot of it is going to depend on your captain and copilot as well.

Button did do quite a bit better in the points this year than Magnussen. If they got rid of Button, it'd be like, I don't know, some famous team firing an incredible driver over a lackluster but hilarious Finn or something.

Well, despite my strongly-held belief that tire (tyre) analysts just kind of glance over at Pirellis to make sure they're black and have letters on them, I'd still never get hired by Ferrari as I have no idea what loafers are appropriate to wear on a Tuesday in Spring. Just getting my foot in the door would cost me half of Hamashima's salary in leather and wool/silk. Maybe if I told them my name was Ant Sinistra... E: I would consider changing my username to Ant Sinistra but I'm not sure that I can remember my password. captainOrbital fucked around with this message at 22:15 on Dec 17, 2014 |

Does Morse code translate? Do non-English-speaking nations use Morse code, or is it a thing like ASL where there's different nationalities? Anyway, I'm applying for the Chief Tyre Analyst job to replace that Japanese dude. I'm using my mom's maiden name to apply because she's Italian.

That motherfucker is "only" 84. He could theoretically live for another 10 or even 20 years. poo poo, there was one dude in England that lived to be almost 114, so I can only assume that Bernie will still be around in 30 years. At which point I will be 70. Awesome. At least he's not a woman. Probably.
