Yeah.That and the ice cream and his reply to Martin about why he missed Pele on the grid at Brazil in 2003 I think it was.
Didn't Jake say in Valencia that they thought it was the first time ever Ferrari had ever been "plum last" on the qualifying grid. And Badoer did that twice in a row!
Yes. He speaks pretty good English, his trainer is English, and he was at McLaren for a few years. So I reckon he meant to say what he did. Doesn't make it any less hilarious than it was.I think it was 2006 when he was there for Schumi's last race. Best quote ever though.
Well the common knowledge in F1 is that Badoer has had his time. After Valencia it seemed that he'd get Spa and that was it. I agree that Kimi winning in Spa doesn't help Badoer much. He was awful 10 years ago so why, as DC mentioned, would a decade of testing make him any better? I wonder if Nelson Piquet in a Ferrari would have been as slow as Badoer?
yup, shocker; the rear wing is actually at the rear of the car

It seems to skip as if they've cut a bit out.
Can't help but think Piquet would have had the edge over Badoer being more used to 2009 cars and actually having raced.Only as Piquet was dropped before Badoer got a go
I thought Nakajima half got the Williams seat due to Toyota supplying Williams with engines? And that there are questions over Toyota's future in F1. If Toyota quit F1 no Toyota's in the back of a Williams therefore Nakajima loses his grip on the 2nd Williams seat. That and Rosberg's scored all of the points for Williams this season so Frank and Patrick could easily get rid of Nakajima on performance grounds regardless of what Toyota do.
Ah so a pre-emptive move on Williams' part then? They aren't sure about Toyota's commitment to F1 so Williams are looking for new engines. Mercedes are probably out as Mercedes will likely have to supply McLaren, Brawn, Force India and Red Bull next year.
So either Renault or Cosworth engines then? They've used both before and I can't see Williams getting Ferrari engines.

you can imagine what goes in the gap though
Not that I've heard. All I've heard is on the BBC F1 coverage with Legard I think it was saying that there were rumours some people at Red Bull wanted Mercedes but some key people weren't convinced. Would have thought the fact that championship contender Vettel faces an almost inevitable penalty for using more engines than is allowed might swing their opinions to going for Mercedes. I think McLaren will have a decent car next year. Red Bull should be there or thereabouts. Brawn hopefully as well. Red Bull could pull off quite a trick if they can get Mercedes engines; have three top teams contending for race wins all using Mercedes engines so that McLaren and Brawn wouldn't enjoy a power or reliability advantage over Red Bull.Has Red Bull confirmed their supplier for next year?
Williams will go to Renault, I hope.
Yeah. Normally Williams would go for Renault or Cosworth engines if they leave Toyota or Toyota leave F1. But Renault have reliability problems so Williams won't want them as they'll surely want a reliable car to pick up points if the frontrunners retire from a race. If Mercedes can supply McLaren, RBR, Brawn, Force India AND Williams they probably would, for the money, as you say. Just depends if McLaren veto that or not.
I can guess.Awww they've censored it
What was the rudey concerning?
And utterly hilarious if there was some reliablity problem.Jonathan Legard said:
