The way I see things in terms of Ferrari people goes way back. I honestly could see no reason for anyone to hate Mika Hakkinen, yet there were always a lot of haters out there and I see the same thing happening here, It happened with Kimi also when he was with McLaren. Sure Lewis is a bit wet behind the ears in some respects, but I really struggle to see where all the hate comes from. Massa irritates me in most of his dialogue, but I don't hate the guy, just dislike the way he never accepts blame for any wrong doing.

As for 2009, it will be really interesting to see how the drivers go with the new regs. Hopefully it brings some racing reminiscent of the late Prost, Senna, Mansell and co. days.

Mika was cool

DC gave us some of the best sound bites towards the end, when he'd no reason to really care about the pitlane politics

the quip about Louise Goodmans nipples is a crack-up :D

and the one about "kicking the shit out of the little bastard" when he was taken out of a race (someone remind me who it was again?)

My only complaint of Mika was that he got the results ahead of my fav driver, DC. :D I still to this day think that there were powers at play that stopped DC from achieving what he should have at McLaren. DC wasnt the chosen son and didnt stand up to the poltiics at play. I think thats my view and may always stay that way. But that was more against the team then Mika.

The best call of late of DC was when the hot little Malaysian girl for Star Sports was interviewing him about his retirement, the what will you miss most question came. His response was looking down at your cleavage during interviews. God bess the man! :(

I didn't hate Mika one bit.. I mean, I couldn't see any great brilliance in the man, and as Roy said, DC was point to point all the driver that Mika was, the fact mac backed Mika to the tilt seemed a bit unfair, DC could've been an F1 champ.. Well he isn't and that's history I suppose.. I was genuinely sad when Mika announced his 'sabatical', and something inside told me he wasn't coming back... The early-mid 2000's were a lot less without Mika.. I liked him a lot. I must admit, I'm seething and cringing at the idea of Lewis winning the title, yet if I was Schu and Mike one the title by a point, tbh I don't think I'd be that worked up, Mika is someone you could easily loose a championship to and not be too concerned.. Yeah, I'm a Ferrari fan, but I was also a huge DC/Mika fan, I liked those guys a lot.. :P:D:(

:O I'm guessing that comment sounded really great in that brain of yours

Mmmm, so when are you changing your nicky from mika to Lois err token err Louise err ....... C'mon, you know you want to :)

With the Mika/DC comparisons, whilst I like DC, Mika was a much faster driver than DC ever was. DC was always a solid driver.

But I'm sure DC's view will come out when he writes a book on his F1 career as I'm sure he'll do!

Mmmm, so when are you changing your nicky from mika to Lois err token err Louise err ....... C'mon, you know you want to :bomb_ie:

Nah, Mika is what all my friends and family have called me for years

Edited by Mika

Mika was quick. But he was the chosen son of Mac at the time. DC was the new kid and won a GP before Mika. He would have won 2 before Mika if not asked to gift one to him….and the rest is history. :bomb_ie: Mika was quick, but back in the day with the old format of qualifyign DC could build pace and get the lap and was better over a race distance. He should never have surrendered the advantage he had over Mika :(

Renault to keep their current driver line up for 09, which means the four best drivers are going to be potentially in the four top cars

Hammo in a Mac

Kimi in team jihad

Nando staying at renault

the koob at BMW

Throw Vettel into a potentially fast Red bull and it looks like a great 09. Too bad all the cars are going to look like aids tho

Yeh, i was hoping that Jr was shown the door and Sebastian Bourdais given the chance. There is no question in my mind that hw would do a far better job then Jr, and he seemed to be a match for Vettel in the last few races. Especially when you consider he got shafted in the last lap at Spa in the wet by Heidfeld and co. Shafted by Trulli/Glock in Brazil....and that he is pitting 3-4laps after Vettel so is in the Top 10 but a few places behind because of fuel.

Surely he will retain his seat? I am such a fan after seeing him in Melb and watching him go about his business. So low key, and a real worker

I just hope webber can live up to the hype and spank vettel. by all measures vettel is good. 2 years ago I would not have had a doubt that webber would be able to match any of the drivers in an equal car, but things change and there is no denying the bloke is getting on a bit and no matter how professional he is surely the motovation is wanning. maybe a decent team mate will help spur him on a bit and see him bag a decent seat before he bows out of F1? when you think about it, it's amazing he's hung in F1 for the last 6 years without ever getting a decent seat or a single win. good on ya mark.

I think the fact that Webber was consistantly quicker then Heidfeld and Rosberg shows that he has the pace. I am not too alarmed by Vettel jumping in the seat next to him. I think Webbers biggest risk is him doing a Button and losing that drive to keep moving up the grid, and just become content to blame the car.

So Vettel will provide him a shot in the arm just in case he is sick of working so hard for mid field results. It could worl out to be perfect timing. Webber can ask for whatever drive he wants if he beats Vettel next year

can't see that happening though. Mark used to have some mongrel about him but the racer seems to be gone now, like he's resigned to being a midfeild runner. Vettel is young and hungry, and very fast. My money is well and truly on Vettel in that driver line-up

god I would love to see webber in a big mac and handing it to hamilton. sadly I think there is about as much chance of that happening as there is of me waking up next to jessica alba tomorrow.

    • What could be causing my clutch problem besides a bad master or slave then? Both those parts are new 
    • Just came across this, but in QLD I start leave again in 2 weeks, if it is still available I might drive up and check it out Unless, @MBS206 do you live near here????, if so I could hit you up with a finders fee https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/hope-island/auto-body-parts/nc-mx5-factory-hard-top/1328976391
    • My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered
    • I’ve got one on mine and it’s fine, 
    • No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
