Ok and I'm going to pretend not to care but watch out for any future posts you make to ensure I 'like' them and maybe even quote them and post positive statements that support and agree with whatever you've written in an attempt to gain favour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Bernie Ecclestone has stepped down from the board of the company which runs Formula 1 following his indictment on bribery charges in Germany. But the 83-year-old will continue to run the business on a day-to-day basis, Delta Topco said in a statement. Ecclestone will go on trial to face allegations he bribed a German banker who is serving a jail sentence for receiving the payment. He admits paying Gerhard Gribkowsky, but denies bribery. His stepping down means he can no longer approve and sign significant contracts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardiffGreens Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 (edited) And Ron Dennis has stormed the McLaren offices, taken the lift to the highest floor, kicked Martin Whitmarsh out of an unfortunately open window and declared himself king. At least, that's what I think the rest of the article says, I didn't bother reading past the first line after getting distracted by the thought of Ron Dennis performing an actual coup d'etat...

BOF Posted January 17, 2014 Author Moderator Share Posted January 17, 2014 You can choose the designation of Ferrari's next F1 car. You have until next Friday (24th). Pick from between F14T, F14 Maranello, F14 Scuderia, F166 Turbo or F616. The winning designation will be announced on the 24th. Do it here. I voted (5 times*...) for F14T cuz it cleverly reads as FIAT * you're allowed vote 5 times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrackpotForeigner Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 My big hope for 2014 is that Michael Schumacher makes a full recovery... ...so that he can watch Sebastian Vettel prove that you can achieve what M.S. did without being a rocket polisher.

OutByEaster?

Now oddly enough, I always liked MIchael Schumacher - I liked the way he strutted about with his nose in the air like the other drivers were so far beneath him he wouldn't want to make eye contact, I liked the slight suggestion you always got with him that he was enjoying it and having you on, that he was quietly laughing at his own creation. Vettel on the other hand, I find entirely lacking in any form of personality, there is nothing likeable about him. Try and describe him without saying he drives a car and has big teeth and is German - there's nothing there, that's all he is, he has no real worth as a human being, no opinions, no personality, nothing. The wrong one went skiing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wrong one went skiing. I agree.. As for this next season, I just want this one to be exciting, to be thrilling, to have more battling for the big prize. I want it to be close between 4/5 drivers. Last season I watched 3 races! I've never watched so few! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avfc96 Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 This season I think hope will be the season Red Bull are knocked off their perch. Think the top 5 standings will be something like this at the end of the season, Hamilton Vettel Alonso Kimi Rosberg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
