Re: Kimi of the race
Friends:
Kimi is a driver I admire b/c he is not merely extraordinarily gifted; he doesn't care for the corporate malarky about F1 being the premium motorsport venue. It has become a more about business than sport and more about money than racing. This nonsense about creating tires that can't finish a race, along with nonsense regulations that teams must use more than one set, is purely a function of television and corporate advertising. WTF; why not simply let teams race as fast as they can and decide for themselves what tires to use or not use?

Re: Kimi of the race
It's really sad there are hooligans booing Vettel. Horner says it's not sporting and I go along with that. I guess it's better than throwing Budweiser bottles and KFC buckets onto the track.

BTW this is the same race that Rubens passed JT at the last corner of the last lap to claim a podium.

Alonso for carting Webber back to the pits.

Re: Kimi of the race
I think Vettel should get a honourable mention for his delightfully politically incorrect interview with RTL after the race. They asked him if RB was making F1 dull - this is what he said;
"Der Unterschied steckt im Detail. Wenn die anderen nach Hause gehen und sich die Eier in den Pool hängen, sind wir noch da und tüfteln weiter am Auto. Dann versuchen wir, noch mehr rauszuquetschen, und sowas macht natürlich über das Wochenende den Unterschied und über das Jahr gesehen dann auch."
“The difference is in the details. While the others go home to let their balls dangle in the pool, we’re still in the garage tampering with small details on the car,” he said. “And once we’ve got that we try to squeeze out a little more. Over a whole weekend, this makes a difference, even more so over a whole year.”
If you're labelled Dick Dastardley anyways, you can just as well play the partкак могу я знать что я думаю, пока не слушал что я говорю

Re: Kimi of the race
Its true what Seb says though.

[quote=Mr Alca-Tazizzle][quote="dj_bytedisaster":1pbel1z0][France 2004 comes to mind as well. Brawn to The Shoe, "Shoe, we need 20 qualifying laps in a row to win this race". The Shoe duly delivers and the rest is history.[/quote]That is a race I've been pitching as one of Mike's finest ever since it happened in 2004. You are the first person (other than me) to independently bring it up as one of his signature races on this forum,. Well done my man!

Yip 2004 was a, should we understate, a very dominant year for Ferrari and The Shoe. The only reason they didn't win more of the final races was they stopped development of the car early in the season such was it's dominance to concentrate on the 2005 car, which turned out to be a complete lemon!"But it aint how hard you hit, it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done." Rocky.
I admire your will Mirek to argue with the windmills here.
