2007 F1 Season

[ctjet]

He wasnt up to it, beaten by Mansell and the stig

BBC has shutdown any youtube link tho... suxorz

[ECR033]

Apparently also made a comment implying that he would've beaten the Stig's time if it wasn't damp

I don't know how he'll fit his head in a helmet next season given the size of his ever-growing ego these days

[Marco-R34GTT]

M. Schumacher should come out of retirement to give this little a**wipe a shovel full of humble pie...

[djr81]

I would be disgusted but then again I am in no way surprised.

[ctjet]

yeah, you just have to accept it and look at the bright side

at least Alonso will announce his new contract with them tomorrow and give kimi a run for his money next year

[ECR033]

I expect that Renault will also file a defamation action against McLaren for fabricating evidence against them (refer McLaren's original claims against Renault).

I'm guessing Ron Dennis can't wait for 2007 to be over

FIA leave McLaren in limbo until February

The World Motor Sport Council met in Monaco today to discuss the FIA Technical Department's report on the validity of McLaren's 2008 car.

and so it goes on

... and on

and on

[ctjet]

AAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Kimi Raikkonen And Michael Schumacher Commercial

golden

[Roy]

And now McLarens 2008 car is in trouble. Surely Mosly has a bee in his bonnet, Dennis doesnt deserve the which hunt! Anyway, F1 has always had off track F1 politics...but this is starting to make me sick. Time for Mosley to get the boot...he is a TOOL!

Fernando Alonso signs with Renault

Renault has signed two-time Formula One world champion Fernando Alonso for the 2008 season, Spanish media reports said.

Newspaper El Mundo said Alonso had agreed to a deal worth E35 million ($58 million) and that an announcement was expected imminently. The length of the contract was not reported.

Tha Spaniard had been linked with a return to Renault ever since he was released from his three-year contract with McLaren in November.

A move to the French team gained momentum on Friday when motor sport's governing body FIA decided against penalising Renault for possessing confidential information about rival team McLaren.

The 26-year-old Spaniard finished third in the 2007 drivers' standings with 109 points after a turbulent season with the British.

There were rocky relations with rookie driving partner Lewis Hamilton and a spy scandal that cost McLaren $US100 million ($114 million) and all of its constructors championship points.

Alonso made his F1 debut with Renault in 2001, going on to become F1's youngest world champion with the first of his two titles in 2005.

In 105 races entered, the Oviedo native has won 15 races and finished on the podium 49 times.

Reports also indicated that Nelson Piquet Jr. was set to partner Alonso. Giancarlo Fisichella and Heiki Kovalainen drove for Renault in 2007.

[ECR033]

Guess that was to be expected...

I'd be pretty dissapointed if Kovalainen doesn't get a drive next season though.

[m3gtr]

I dont really care about f1 that much right now to comment on the absolutely disgraceful way renault avoided penalties where they were found GUILTY of industrial espionage and let off the hook and the galling amount of money the filthy sanchez will make out of it, even in spite of the fact he was central to the Mclaren problems.

renault and alonso can both go f**k themselves.

does that count as a comment?

[ctjet]

70 million!?!

sweet baby jeebus

[Roy]

Another Spanish paper? I will wait for the official Renault announcement myself as personally i cant see Renault paying that sort of money for the guy, on top of all the out clauses. It is probably going to transpire but i cant see the terms printed being the actual terms

[m3gtr]

Heikki and Fisi dropped like sacks of shit.

Goes to show you how much Renault appreciated the efforts of the Finn, in particular, in a dog of a car.

Fisi on the other hand has proved to be underwhelming and that, for years on end. Still, ill cherish the drinks and chat i had with him last year...Time to call it a day my wine loving Roman.

I hope Heikki goes to Mac where he and LH can show renault what the definition of fast is.

Blow them into the weeds good and proper, they will.

[ctjet]

BAAAAHAHAHAHAHA

i swear to god this off season is every bit as good as the on track action that went on all year

Schumi races a taxi!!

On the verge of missing a flight, seven-time F1 Champion Michael Schumacher jumped behind the wheel of a taxi and arrived in time at the airport with his family, according to a report emanating from AFP

[Marco-R34GTT]

lol!

FORZA SCHUMI!

"Kovalainen dropped because he was too fast"

Heikki Kovalainen was reportedly jettisoned by Renault in favour of Nelson Piquet junior because Fernando Alonso was wary of the Finn's pace.

[djr81]

Wait until he gets a load of Piquet junior then.

[ctjet]

would much prefer Kovalainen than DLR in the second Mac seat
