You could ask why Nico is there when he is not thrashing an old man

I did.

Must have missed that then

2012 thread somewhere. I tried to start a serious discussion about Toro Rosso and Mercedes an the fact I couldn't really see what they were trying to achieve. But naturally, arknor took it as some personal attack and it somehow ended up being an argument about how Di Resta compared with Sutil :confused:

Edit: Here.

Imagine if Schumacher had gone to Red Bull at the end of 2008/beginning of 2009.

We'd be looking at a 9 time champion, cursing his name and complaining how boring it is for him to "win every race".

I'd like him to win a race in a car that's off the pace, so people can see his raw talent, than moan that he's always been in the fastest car. This is what disappointed me in Canada, when he could have gotten 3rd, but got DRS butt hurt from Webber and Co.

Could you see Vettel being happy with that? I cant (after his hard work developing the car into a race winner)

Im also not sure RB would have agreed to pay the money required to get MS, not to mention the "German " team at Mercedes, while RB is Austrian it still isnt (quite ) German -

(without considering MS's previous connections with Mercedes)

hes on the same salary as nico i nthink it was only 8.5mil or so and schumacher attracted most of the sponsors on the cars so i'd imagine the team get more money than hes paid

Sorry for the change of subject folks, but I just received an email concerning the new Sky F1 channel and it will be free to HD customers (as well as Sky Sports 1/2 customers)? Did I read that right? :eek:

Whats the catch?
