Marlin Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 One can only hope the lil Lewi falls over in the finale! My my that would be a fantastic post race interview On a side note, how suckfull would it be if Mosley gets his control engine/box idea passed...... can you say, "A1 GP"?

bnr#@ Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 yeah, I'm at a loss to understand why he's trying to push the control engine thing so much, What would be the point of the manufacturers championship if they cant manufacture and develop their own engine? It would do bad things for the sport... if not kill it all together Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/199728-2008-f1-season/page/174/#findComment-4206298 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BezerkR32 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 yeh, i agree, the manufacturers will have no interest. maybe a controll chassis with manufacturers power plants. yeah, I'm at a loss to understand why he's trying to push the control engine thing so much, What would be the point of the manufacturers championship if they cant manufacture and develop their own engine?

dezz Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 maybe just leave it alone and f**k the teams that can't afford to compete in what is supposed to be the pinnacle of motorsport... As for 08, I feel its too far out of reach for Massa, but I'll be preying for hamilton to put on a hamilton07-esque performance and bin it.

Roy Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Roy, you forgot a major factor which is sure to shake up the grid next year - any team backed in a major way by a bank will have no budget to develop their new cars. bad times for those guys, they are going to have to cut back majorly on the caviar budget.and the manufacturer back teams will have major budget issues too - how do you think ferrari's sales have been in the last 3 months compared to the 9 months prior.... In a further development I understand the FIA have been watching this thread all year and have decided to ditch the stewards, and just take decisions from the posters in this thread. Yeh, Renault are good with ING, they haev lsot money but the relationship with F1 has been very positive for them, they are still strong despite all the current agro, but despite all this have just been guaranteed money to ensure confidence as they have declared a loss for the 3rd quarter But yeh, by by Williams with RBS, Lenovo etc all struggling and in smelly piles of dog poo Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/199728-2008-f1-season/page/174/#findComment-4206740 Share on other sites More sharing options...

lingeringsoul Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 don't forget that year long ago. I think it was 2007. a certain lewi homoton went into the last race of the season with a 7 point lead over his closest rival and finished that race without a WDC... deja vu all over again.........I remember that morning, I missed the race, turned on the computer and cried tears of joy.

dezz Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 As much as I hate to say it, I don't see any way he could lose it... I'll be preying he does, but at the same time, I'm a realist. Surely his ego can't be THAT big that he tries something ridiculous Side note. Louise thinks the entire F1 paddock owes him something already....can't wait to see what he's like as a WDC...

Roy Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Well, Heikis car went bang....Lewis has had an amazing run of reliability. Its not out of this world possible that he has a mechanical problem or falls victim to first corner dramas, but i hope that is not the case. We saw enough of that with MS. Anything is still possible, hell this time when he clips the wall in the wet he may have suspension fail. Or someone may run into him in the pits. Or someone on the better tyre for the conditions may force him onto the grass in the wet...or his car can just go bang. Is this race the second race for the engine Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/199728-2008-f1-season/page/174/#findComment-4214922 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but Alonso wasn't isn't exactly a Fisichella either... Heikki on the other hand... Formula 1's new Giancarlo... I just hope the Renaults are really strong in Brazil.. Hopefully Trulli and/or Webbo might be up the pointy end of the field.... God... Please, can SOMETHING HAPPEN TO HOMOTON, KTHNXGODDOOD!!

Is this race the second race for the engine yep massa and kimi on new engines. lewey the fly on 1 race old engine... the only hard bit is we not only need lewey taken out we need massa to finish 1st or 2nd too... surely the collective hatred of everyone on the grid can combine in one giant conspiracy to thwart leweys efforts and hand a win to massa.

djr81 Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Well I for one (probably the only one given the amount of hate on these forums for Hamilton) hope that McLaren can secure a drivers championship. Not sure why anyone would watch sport willing someone to fail. Oh and Mercedes said the motor in Lewis' car is fine.

BigDirtyJase Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 I hope that Hamilton wins the championship. I think last year taught him something and drive to win the championship...but then again Japan is a prime example. but knowing how F1 is, Ferarri will kick up a stink and find something to DQ Hamilton and give the championship to Massa. IMO Ferarri will take the constructors title. the greatest surprise i want to see Webber wins the last race I don't know why Hamilton is so hated...I can remember alot of people hating Michael Schumacher (and some people still do) because he was brash and arrogant (and don't forget the the dirty tactics to win some of his championships). I think Hamilton will mature with age but he needs to win a championship or two to shut up all the naysayers Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/199728-2008-f1-season/page/174/#findComment-4216471 Share on other sites More sharing options...
