OT: A sad day for F1.

Sorry, missed it. Was watching the NASCAR race. :-) What happened?

.............I was amazed as well. Michelin should be permanently banned from Formula 1.

Seems to me they banned themselves. Who's gonna want to use them anymore?

Anywho, Formula V is alive and well. I may get into it next year!

They held a race and no one came, sort of. Fears over bad tires or some such.

WHERE WAS HERBIE?!?

You wouldn't understand - someone made a right turn - kinda put 'em out of the redneck's universe.

(got humor?)

or they could get some drivers that ain't skeered...

I knew this one was coming... Trust me, it was not a drivers decision!

NOT FOR ME... I'm from Portugal

Tiago Monteiro did very well

Joao

hehe...i know.....a race driver would try to win the race on the rims if he had to.....

I can't believe what Bernie Eccles had to say when asked about Danica Patrick

F1 - well.... too bad.

Now Moto GP.... that is racing.

Or just go to your local track, whether it be SCCA, 1/2mile dirt or drag strip. That is where the fun is. And there is some great racing.

I thought it was funny and heart felt. Doesn't mean I like the way he thinks, but I gotta give him kudos for having a solid opinion however poorly stated and arrived upon.

"heart felt"?

I'm sorry the guy is a moron. Aristocracy at its finest. Wars were fought over this mentality.

I think you and Scott agree. Reread what he said. "Heartfelt", to my mind means the fellow truly believed what he said (I don't have a clue what he said, but I know what Scott and you both wrote. Of course I have an advantage, having known Scott for most of our lives. He agrees with your assessment. Read what he wrote, not what you think he wrote!:~)

I tuck tail between my legs.... But I am sure many evil people are "heart felt"... Just a buzz phrase that sets me off.

Bryan

What John Said. I was actually amused at what the guy said. I don;t agree with is mentality. But I applaud him for the Nads it took to say that publicly. I suspect he knew what he was saying, and that he knew he was gonna piss people off. Still think he's a moron, but he's got balls of lead wrapped in barbed wire.........LOL

I never thought of heart felt as a buzz word, but I can understand how that could be considered one. I truely meant it as a humorous face value statement. Nothing more. ( we do agree on this I assure you)

Sorry to offend.

Wait, cows don't fly, hell ain't froze over? "Sorry to offend"

Is this still USENET?

Sorry to miss your meaning...

But you must admit it takes big balls to say something like that. Reminds me of that baseball pitcher, s*it I can't remember his name....

Bryan

OUCH.

A man in his position should have swallowed his own opinions and congratulated and praised Danica like there was no tomorrow. He is forever in a role where he is marketing his own sport, whether he wants it or not. His statements are no longer private, they ALWAYS represent his organization and the sport. VERY bad move, very bad press for Formula 1. Forget about ever getting fans in the US, be lucky if they ever let you have a formula 1 race there at all. That was downright dumb. he had a golden opportunity to "sell" his precious F1. Instead he spit on the face of all american sport car fans and race organizers. Way to go. It's not about Danica being a woman, it could have been a man. You just don't go to another country and insult their #1 favorite motorsport in any way, especially if you are trying to squeeze in your own to compete for the attention and fans. Dumb dumb dumb.
