    foot in mouth for ralf

    how many times did we hear ralf say "i will be in f1 next year." now, he has no ride, and few prospects for next year...

    where did he think he had a chance all those months ago, besides the team then known as spyker?

    he definitely has his foot in his mouth. it may stay there unless he is willing to pay to take it out.

    I think this post should be the in Touring Car forum, as if he really wants to race next year I think DTM is his best bet!!

    Ralf sacked his manager three days ago (saw it on CNN).

    Well why keep him at this stage....

    Anyway, I am on sabbatical and it is much tougher than driving. I plan on remaining there until I get my phone call from Ferrari. I would already be back, but they accidentally lost my phone number and panicked, signing Kimi instead--a mistake they said will not happen again, but they will have to come up with another ten million more than before.

    I think Ralfie made heaps out of F1, while doing not all that much in the last few years except just making up the numbers at midfield.

    With the rise of quite a few younger drivers, Ralfie is, at best, a midfield driver and that is being kind.

    Time to call it a day with F1.

    Ralf will go down as being an "OK" driver - won a few races in a great car, but not much other than that to brag about. It seems that lately he's been getting good at taking other cars off the track!

    As I have said before, on a good day, Ralf was unbeatable. It just seemed that Ralf's good days never coincided with a Grands Prix weekend lately....

    lol. I guess he can save money by doing so but I hope like hell he didn't sack him cause he couldn't get him a ride for this year!

    Ralf is a superior driver to many drivers, who seemingly will have a seat for next season, like Sato, davidson etc.

    Thanks for that post, just spat coffee all over the screen. He'll have a seat alright, just not necessarily in an F1 car.......
