"Felipe Massa advises Rubens Barrichello to retire from Formula 1"

I lol'd at this Autosport headline.

Tomorrow I fully expect to see a corresponding "Rubens Barrichello advises Felipe Massa to retire from Formula 1" headline

Skeeter said:
The current Ferrari whipping boy tells the former Ferrari whipping boy to retire. Lol.

Perhaps Massa see's Rubens as filling a seat he will be in shortly?

*sigh*

Massa advised Barrichello to quit rather than run as a pay driver. And also said that no matter what his friend decides, he'd support his decision.

"He raced for the best teams in F1. I haven't advised him to quit because I feel he is old or something like that. But today in F1 there are 12 teams, and five or six are asking for money to give a seat. I think this is absurd.

"My opinion, which I told him, is that I can't see Barrichello searching for sponsors to race after all he had achieved in F1.

"I told him to quit and to use this last race to have a proper ending.

“But I know he will do what he thinks is the best for him and, as a friend, I will support him and hoping for the best for him."

But of course, you both know all this because you wouldn't dream of merely reading the headline and projecting from there, right?

Right?

Oh.

Wow, this must surely be the first time ever that someone has made false assumptions based on a badly worded headline?

Quick, JRS, you must write to Autosport imediately!

Or you could just chill, its not the end of the world?

Good choices.

Its a shame that every BBC comment thread on their articles has become a tedious "NO TO SKY" fest though.

Unfortunately not, people seem to make a habit of it.

Why? Autosport wrote the article perfectly clearly. If people had read beyond the headline, they'd have known what the score was. But once again, the opportunity to get a dig in at Massa was sat there like a shining beacon, far too tempting to ignore

No, it isn't. But it is getting pretty irritating.

Lol, I read that as 'shining bacon' and was like "What? Where!"

JRS · 24 Nov 2011 at 14:20

Well, much like beacons, bacon is also quite hard to ignore....

Skeeter · 24 Nov 2011 at 14:27

I cured a vegetarian with a bacon sandwich once.

True story.

Did you use the salt from the Bacon?

It was 3 posts of light hearted jabs at Massa and Rubens, where the hell did Lewis come in?

Yeah, let's hope it is not too wet if it happens as it tends to turn into a river, meaning SC :mad:

Duke · 24 Nov 2011 at 20:40

Jan Charouz to drive in free practice for HRT.

So you would be a Ferrari fan then?

Lighten up a little.

Has he left Renault, or is it some sort of Charouz time-share between the two teams?

NathanE · 24 Nov 2011 at 21:06

I hope Mr Men and JRS were joking

If not, I think it's time to step away from the keyboard...

SPARC · 24 Nov 2011 at 21:53

Last race, I'm hoping for a Lewis victory as usual.
