That’s the one, would have posted the link myself earlier but I was watching on the TV and posting from my phone so digging up the correct (non-mobile) link was more trouble than I could be bothered with
Lewis has conducted himself impeccably during and since Abu Dhabi. The deadline seems to send a message, FIA have always said no driver is bigger.
I think if Lewis goes, Toto will follow. I genuinely see Lewis will call it quits if no convincing changes take place.
Back in 2007 I always suspected that McLaren could not be seen to win the WDC following spygate, Lewis' engine mysteriously cut out at Brazil when on the way to becoming WDC; and Kimi went on the win... I personally believe something shady went on to stop Lewis being WDC...
Soldato
Uh huh.
And presumably they ordered McLaren not to pit Lewis at the previous race in China, so he would slide off the road when he finally did make a stop and throw away an almost certain points finish that would have netted him the 2007 title?

I know, opened a can of worms
Conspiracy theories, I still think (be quiet)F1 posts are a bit slow at the moment.
Soldato
Conspiracy on both counts are complete tosh. Anyone who thinks so must still also believe tyre US blew up their own twin towers and Elvis is still alive, living on the moon in a London bus.
Masi made the correct decision at the time and only Lewis fans and hindsight seems to contradict.
The FIA in their investigation should not be seen to appease Hamilton or Mercedes....

Indeed. I just watched the Sky F1 special and one thing they all agreed on was that what happened was absolutely not correct.

Tatiana Calderon to race for AJ Foyt racing in Indycar. Full season too. I hope she does well but I can’t see it.

Yeah I agree, there's better drivers than her who have gone over there and failed to make much of an impact.

Depends what you think success is for her, doesn't it? I would think finishing in the top 10 at a decent number of races, and establishing herself as a solid midfielder would represent a decent measure of success. I can't see her challenging at the pointy end with her track record, but she could be a decent midfielder, I think.
Soldato
Success would be just getting a funded seat lol
She doesn't seem to be doing too badly in the LMP2 to be fair so be interesting if she still does that this season.
Soldato
Seems f1 are stopping military flyovers and only allowing aircraft using sustainable fuel, lol
What a bunch of idiots
What a bunch of idiots
They've been carbon neutral with offsets for quite a while.
Caporegime
There's nothing hypocritical about improving where you can.
Soldato
Do you think that makes people more likely to watch?
Soldato
Yeah sure it's the how green can you go championship,
I don't buy all this carbon neutral stuff, I mean what do they do plant a tree every time they start a truck up.
All these races in the middle east are paid for with what exactly
No, but it does stop any complaints or criticism about the environmental damage.

"I eat too much food. No point in cutting down as I will still need to eat again." See how dumb that sounds?
