Windsor: I'd try again with the right people

has peter windsor got a mute button on him, all I hear is mow mow mow mow mow mow. lol btw peter windsor shouldn't even think about it

If you dont dream then you cannot achieve - and if Windsor persists and can arrange something then why not?

Just because a person fails once does not mean giving up.

I agree with STD. Three hoorays for failure!
We should throw a 'You failed, liar' party for Windsor and give him a hug.

Also, in honor of STD, I'll leave just lay down a random cliche.
Put a cork in it? Yeah, that works. :)

Really? Can you think of anything you do in regular life that compares to an international sport that consists of so few teams, and requires so much sponsorship money that your only hope at all is to convince people that once they hand over the money you can do it?

The difference between sucess and failure in any business is often a very small margin of error, especially during the initial start up periods. During my years as a small business owner I watched hundreds fail in the same field, and I'm sure what I did pales in comparison to the efforts of being 1 of 13 teams in the world to put a duo of cars on a modern Formula 1 grid.

Though I've done some amateur level racing, I've always been one well aware that the worst driver on an F1 grid is likely vastly more talented than myself, the vast majority of amateur racers, and the vast majority of professional racers.

If you can't see a carpetbagger even when's he's been revealed then God help you son...

Unless you're a supplier owed money, a driver who thought he had a seat for 2010 so stopped talking to other teams, or one of the people who quite their jobs and put their faith in USF1 - some of them relocating their families in the process.

God, he is a fool, isn't he? He'd be better off selling snowmobiles in Hell.

I doubt very much that the 'right prople' would want to have anything to do with one Peter Windsor.

If he arrived with the required amount of sponsors cash he would automatically be loved.

But anyway, people in f1 do not turn their backs on one of their number - Briatore is welcome and both Alonso and Webber NEVER severed their ties with him. He remains a good friend of both ande Briatore is still Webber's manager.

It is the imagined twisted "morality" of fans that is so quaint.

GP Week have wasted some space on Windsor's self-pitying ramblings. It's hard going, reading someone who blames everybody but themselves, and I gave up when I got to this gem which proves that nothing eminating from his mouth should be taken seriously:

Why did no-one sign Danica Patrick a few years back? It's beyond me. She's probably the best female single-seater driver in the history of the sport, she's attractive, she works hard - and yet no-one in F1 seemed to take her seriously.

Oh dear.
