actually, who is the bigger joke?
the new teams
or
luca di montezemelo
sorry, but after recent (IMO rather cretinous) outbursts, I vote option 2. That's got nothing to do me with being a mclaren supporter, that's irrelevant.

Exactly, it was'nt long ago that Red Bull were considered a "new team" and look where they are now.Quote:

He just needs to shut up and let the three newbies get on with it, all 3 have made great progress in the little time they've been in the sport and despite their lack of pace so far, they all have big ambitions for the future.
Yep.Quote:

Could that be why LdM is criticising them? Them taking all the praise whilst his beloved Ferrari is rightly getting criticised left, right and centre.Quote:

Have a teamboss in public stated that the new teams are a joke?
Doubt this.
The new teams ar doing just fine.
You do read this forum, and the sporting press, don't you? A while back Luca was scathing towards the new teams, almost jumping up and down spitting venom he was, then he stamped his feet and scweeeeeeeemed because he wants a third car allowed........Quote:

Luca being stupid as always.
But it is truth that the new teams are a joke. The sooner they are gone the better.
Well, no, actually. I think you are wrong.Quote:

Quite impressive, actually.
In fact here is one I'd be putting money on right now.
Valentino Rossi to be driving in the 1st practice at Monza, seeing as he is out with a bust leg, which would not be unreasonable to believe that it would have to be stronger to do Moto GP than F1 ala Webber.
Just a thought but I can see it happening.
