Aren't those new on the McDonald's menu? (The burger, not the Latinos, they've been working there for years!)

How about Alonso to NASCAR to partner JPM? You can do whatever you want to your teammate there and the crowd will love it!! :)

Following the sucecess of the Guy From Minardi to Renault and now to Mclaren, I can say there is a little help regarding the reliability from the guy.

He did qualify the Minardi in last years. He won 2 titles with renault (while Ferrari was seen as the fastest car on grid). He left Renault and now they have a poor car. He came to the team which did have a car with reliability problems (while they had a fastest driver on the grid) and now the car looks better and fastest to the grid.

Maybe you dodn't still agree on his capability or input in developing the car, but we can agree at least that he brings lucky where he goes even if the kid want to spoil this.

I wonder who the kid will copy the set up next year :D

Ferrari was faster mostly on the second half with Renault faster in the beginning and fading in the end.

Due mostly to problems with wind tunnel data which hampered them also in the end of 2006.

McLaren began putting more emphasis on developing this years car compared to the last year's car earlier than normal, add to that the engine rev limiter.

Henderson, I don't think you know our Uncle Ken well enough to understand what he meant.

1. Fousto lives in Tuscon, AZ, ,which is pretty far south.

2. Around the world, Latinos inhabit the tropics.

3. In the past he has stated, many times, that he prefers Latino women.

4. Fernando Alonso drives for McLaren, which is headquartered in the north, a place you will find relatively few Latinos.

5. With their headquarters in Italy, Ferrari is the most-southerly based team.

THEREFORE . . .

If FA goes to Ferrari, he will be more in his natural element--in the south--where the overwhelming majority of Latinos live.

What I'm extrapolating from this is that, from a comfort standpoint, Ken thinks Fernando would be better off in at Ferrari because they are more like him. But he was being silly on purpose.

Yes it is. It says that he will be leading the team or team leader. But he didn't know that only this is applicable in contract papers (when it becomes on salary) but not on track.
