I think perhaps you ought to read it, I would openly suggest he is more worldly wise than most of us on this forum.

But hey, that's just statistics and means nothing.......... :rolleyes:

Euk, DC hocks pink loogies? Them thar olfactory vessels in his snitch must be knackered........?

Here's a quote or 2 from DC for you Wil(k)o :

"I couldn't see a thing and I radioed to my team to let me know when Michael was right behind me so that I could move over . I had every intention of getting out of his way , so I moved to the right and lifted off .
Unfortunately , Michael was caught unawares , apparently , and smashed into the rear of my McLaren ."

"Many years later , I can reflect and say that , as I was being lapped , I should have got well off the racing line . My team were telling me Michael was about to catch up to me and that I had to let him past ."

"It is incredibly hard to get the water off your visor so you really do have to drive by memory . That works fine if everyone is driving in a predictable or expected way , but in those conditions , when someone lifts or swerves , it can be very dangerous indeed ."

"You have to drive flat out , but then you doubt yourself , and your mind tells you that you are going too fast for that corner , 'I can't see where I'm going , ' so you lift off a fraction , but that can lead to all sorts of problems , so you press on again . You have to trust that all the other drivers are going flat out as well ."


I hope this clears it up for you .


It illustrates also though , that the concern about the wet weather driving is somewhat valid , given that , at least in DC's case , they will drive straight into the cloud , trusting the others to be acting appropriately ahead of them .
Ironically , though all agree that aerodynamics make it tough to pass , it is no small item on the agenda of the aerodynamic engineer in current F1 to make sure the air is dirtiest behind thier cars .
And this plume of low pressure behind is what lifts that spray into the car behind .

As the wind tunnels get more efficient and better computer modelling becomes available , it is reasonable to assume that the spray behind has also increased , making David's concerns more reasonable .

But , whinging that they shouldn't race isn't the answer .

Thanks, so are the loogies pink or green then.

I note with some trepidation that you have joined the 'unable to quote forum names brigade,' I had you as a bigger person than that Bagwan.

Still, we all live and learn.

Sigh , I guess I'm small then , or at least my attempt at HUMOUR was .
Sorry you didn't get it . I'll have to learn to live with that .

But I hope you got the point of all the quotes .

Practice what you preach then, and do as you suggested re my post about Ioan's repostes......

Remember, you suggested the use of a smiley? ;)

I did, and thanks for the quotes. :)

You'll notice I don't use smilies .
I am willing to accept when people don't understand me , and I believe it to be infrequent .

Just so I do understand you , I will ask if you understand that Coulthard was in the wrong , and that Michael was right to be so insensed .
One must also see that Coulthard was fending off the attacks of the most devout Tifosi at the time , who were intimating that he had done it on purpose to scuttle Michael's title hopes , so his indignance can be excused .

My view is this. I think that DC considered himself to be in the right, up until, as I have mentioned in an earlier post, he had the crash after trying to pass Alonso. I think it was at the nurbergring.

He then understood why he was in the wrong.

As to your stance on smilies, I accept that now you have said as much, just don't become one of the 'do as I say, not as I do' wallas.

As it happens, the majority of your posts are well thought out and reasoned, I thought you were jumping on the Kool Aid bandwagon.

Thanks for setting it straight.
