    Quite right Andy, I didn't mention Benetton because it was at the time actually Benetton, rather than pretending to be something that it wasn't, like, say Lotus for example

    You mean Toleman?
    The Old Republic was a stupidly run organisation which deserved to be taken over. All Hail Palpatine!

    No because Benetton baught the Toleman team and called it Benetton, this is different than Genii buying it and calling it Lotus

    I don't see how you can predict any of these, unless you have a crystal ball (and we know you don't have one of those!)
    Not sure i get the point of this thread.

    That's right. No prosthetic balls so far.

    Well it's a filler thread, performing what it's designed to do; keep the forum active until the next race (thread) comes along so we all can complain again. Good topic with good, if not interesting, responses.

    Only complaint I got is that we don't have a topic/thread of Ecclestone being pranked like the disgraced FIFA President Sepp Blatter was during a press conference when comedian Simon Brodkin, who plays the character Lee Nelson, entered the room and threw cash at him.

    Would have loved to have seen what the comments would have been here, had it been Bernie on the receiving end instead.

    I don't know who put this up but they are bonkers. Sports are unpredictable.

    To be honest, I think Mercedes will win the 2016 season as well. There, I made a prediction! And then in 2017 with possibly new regulations we will see.

    What tickles me about this is how will Honda fit in once they work out all their issues. I know right now is not the ideal condition, but they will figure things out at some point. Once, they do, how will they stack up to the rest?
    One can't expect for them to remain in this state forever, right?
