[quote author=baby-boy]Well before Hamilton's tyre blow out an 8 second lead looks like its in the bag Kovy won a race that Lewis had a puncture and Massa retired, Even Timo Gloak came in 2nd[/quote]By lap 7? Lol this is hilarious! Comparing a lead at lap 40 to lap 7 Bottomline is he won! Nobody cares about the circumstances [quote author=baby-boy]We are talking about an era of starting the car with less fuel, Bridgestone tyres, and era where a poor car cannot produce the fastest lap. Like someone said roll on 2014!!!! Am out !! http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/formula1/19969175[/quote]Even back then the slower cars produced fastest laps albeit not at the same frequency 2014 should roll on so that Vettel can pick his 5th and we can hear another excuse as to why he is not legit omar22: A-40Read closely I did respond! It would be phoolish to give a definite answer |
[quote author=baby-boy]Thats fair enough, James Hunt only one WDC in an epic battle against Lauda, John Surtee won one title, one Indy 500, Moto GP 250, 500, Le Mans............. Mansell won 1 title[/quote]Like I said not good enough! Que sera [quote author=baby-boy]Wow as they say Knowledge is power! The McLaren MP4-21 that was designed by Adrian Newey for Kimi was slightly altered for the McLaren MP4-22 that was driven by Lewis Hamilton in 2007, the 2008 McLaren MP4-23 still had features of the McLaren MP4-21 but due to the allegation of the Ferrari details been found with McLaren employees they had to design a new car but still using the old chassis. McLaren wasnt the fastest car in 2008 McLaren had 3 fastest laps in 18 races compared to Ferrari's 13 and BMW's 2, in 2007 Ferrari had 11 to McLaren's 6[/quote]This is an Old Wives Tale. That was not Newey's car and in the record books zero credit goes to Newey that is all the knowledge I need Fastest lap is not the most credible judge of the speed of a car. Esteban Gutierrez and Sergio Perez have set fastest laps without necessarily owning the fastest car. A more feasible metric is number of pole positions the stats might show 9-8 in Ferrari's favor but you have to account for the fact that it was Hamilton's rookie year and Alonso is well known for his poor qualifier status. Even at that but for their catfighting one of them woulda won that title easily In 2008 Hamilton's running mate was Kovalainen nuff said! Despite how badly he sucked he was still good enough for a win and a pole that tells you that car was as good as if not better than the Raris [quote author=baby-boy]Really!!!! They had faster cars, with more powerful engines back then, No KERS, No Traction system, No DRS, No differentials, refuelling and harder tyres, dear devil driving. To win with a Ford Zetec V8 engine when the rest of the field was using either a V10 or V12 Ferrari or Renault engine. The current car engine is a 2.4 V8, so do you think Vettel could win in a 2.4 V6 engine? Hell No he would struggle to beat a Catenham![/quote]Stop resorting to hyperbole! You can not say for sure till Vettel is put in similar machinery in similar circumstances infact that Schumacher was able to win validates my point and we are not even acknowledging that Schummie had to play small mago mago to win [quote author=baby-boy]Like I said the 2010 WDC was more like a title Alonso handed over due to the brain fart in the team because Alonso started in 3rd position he only needed 5th position to win the WDC but finished 7th.....[/quote]We can also say Bayern handed Chelsea the Champions League but that's not true Vettel still had to go on and win the race. 7th would have been good enough if Vettel did not win the race! It was easier for Alonso to win than lose! All pressure was on Vettel and he delivered masterfully [quote author=baby-boy]Really? Webber didn't need to win the race, to win the title he only need 3rd place and be ahead of Alonso, so tell why did they bring him in on lap 11 on a tyre that his rivals took to lap 25 to 30 (Button used his tires to lap 40) common that's been royally screwed!!![/quote]Since he only needed 3rd place whose fault is it that he could only qualify 5th? This theory doesn't make any sense! Even if he finished 3rd and ahead of Alonso Vettel woulda still been champion since he was only 7 pts behind Webber Haba! Bros stop giving us zobo here! Assuming it would have been possible to get to the end of the race on super softs lemme remind you that Webber hit a barrier was losing grip and had to pit earlier than normal! No one got screwed [quote author=baby-boy]Oh dear!!! Name the 2 wins Vettel had before Catalunya race in 2012? or you talking about 2013 Silverstone Ross Brawn said it would have been an easy win for Lewis[/quote]Are you saying drivers have zero input in their cars? Lmao! Why bring it up? The mistake came from you as you lumped both years together. My response was clear and concise As at Vettel's gearbox failure who was leading? Him or Hamilton? [quote author=baby-boy]That was Redbull and Merc, Ferrari only complained about the Merc illegal testing Like I said Vettel very good driver, but [/quote]Everyone had issues with those tires! They were unsafe and the public outcry was unprecedented. To lay this on Horner and RBR is a complete joke |
www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/news/newsid=2021818.html Now the Thiago signing is starting to make more sense so much for us that tagged it as overkill I guess that explains Schweini's sub par form for the most part of the season |
[quote author=baby-boy]A-40 Look, am not here to throw insults at anyone, I have been watching F1 since the late 80s during the turbo engine era and I started supporting Lewis after Schumacher retired.[/quote]I might not have been old enough to follow F1 since the 80's but 2 decades means I'm hardly a JJC to the sport [quote author=baby-boy]If you say because I support Lewis then am jealous of Vettels achievement then you’re very wrong! I started supporting Lewis because the way he drives, Lewis came from a Karting back ground, that likes to glides into corners, and that was his driving style. The moment F1 became a place where you have to nurse your tires, that’s when I knew Lewis won’t win another WDC why because of his driving style and he drove for McLaren![/quote]Have I accused you of anything or is guilty conscience at work? Why are you putting words in my mouth? Nursing your tires is part of the sport and no driver was born with that inherent ability! Its acquired! If he can't nurse them let him try drag racing Its the same way a long distance runner has to pace himself over the course of a race so he doesn't tire out. Whose fault is it that 6 seasons in he has refused to adapt? If Lewis never wins another WDC then Que Sera he is simply not good enough [quote author=baby-boy]The same McLaren who lacks reliability from top to bottom and the last time McLaren won anything was when Mika Mika Häkkinen was driving a Adrian Newey (Shocked) designed McLaren racing car that practically wiped the floor with Schumacher and the rest of the field it was don’t to driving Errors from Mika and Driving Ability that gave Schumacher the 2000s WDC.[/quote]The same McLaren that was the fastest car in 07 and 08 as well? Didn't Hamilton come 2nd in his rookie year and win the title in his sophomore? Was that car designed by Newey too? 2010 and 2012 McLaren also had a very good car if they were not reliable its hardly Vettel's fault he also had reliability issues [quote author=baby-boy]When you look at Schumacher who won the 1994 WDC with a V8 Ford Zetec engine when the most powerful engine that season was Williams Renaults V10 3.5 engine, Ferrari had the V12 3.5 engine, in 1995 Benetton switched to the same engine as the Williams and Schumacher made a mockery of the Williams drivers. Schumacher was told to prove he is not another Jackie Stewart who drove the Lotus that sometimes lap a driver 2 or 3 times in one race.[/quote]Who were the elite drivers at the time? Surely you have to agree that the quality on the field now is not what it was then You can never please everyone in sport! Opinion will always be subjective even if Vettel wins in another car he will always be questioned [quote author=baby-boy]I could understand MRbrownJAY point, that RBR was so poor that Christien Hoerner was a season away from the sack before Adrian Newey joined them. Adrian was paid 10m to design both cars, Adrian made more mistakes on the RBR and that’s why Adrian moved the STR’s chassis across from STR to RBR. Thats why I laugh when people talked about Vettel's performance with STR, because the STR was faster than the RBR.[/quote]So we can admit that Adrian is human that can make mistakes and he is also fallible! The way people went on here I could be forgiven for thinking he shat diamonds and farted roses Can you categorically tell us that Coulthard,Webber or any other person on both teams would consistently challenge for the title every season? You can laugh about people lauding Seb's performance in the STR but a lot of truth is said in jest! Its only Vettel's exceptional performances that made people see anything good in that car in the first place [quote author=baby-boy]The problem here is that Dr Dietrich Mateschitz hated Webber saying he is not good enough to drive for a top team, but When Webber joined RBR wasn’t a top team. RBR harldy complete their race and when Vettel collided with Webber in Turkey 2012, that’s when the decision was made that the car will be built around Vettel’s driving style.[/quote]So how was Webber able to last 7 years at Red Bull if Dr Mateschitz hated him so much? Do you have any direct quotes or are these just rumors? I'm sure Dr Mateschitz was also the reason why Webber could only qualify 5th in the most important race of his career? He is also the reason why he was stuck behind Alonso and Petrov for over 30 laps as well? You are not an insider at Red Bull so there is no way on earth you can prove to me the car was designed to suit Vettel since their crash at Turkey also assuming the car was designed to suit Vettel then how is it that he was trailing Webber even up till the race at Abu Dhabi? Why won't you guys just admit Vettel is the better driver! He has proven it too many times [quote author=baby-boy]The 2010 title was won on a counter, from Japan another team would have support Webber but RBR did what Ferrari did to Eddie Irvine in 1999, when they had the chance to help Eddie to win the WDC after Schumacher broke his legs, instead of asking Schumacher to let Eddie pass and take 2nd place and win the title, but they said “they will wait another year” so that Schumacher could win the WDC. RBR did the same, it was a title that had both Lewis and Vettel as an outside bet to win the title, RBR tactically screwed Webber by calling him in early for a pit stop knowing that both Rosberg, Petrov, both STR drivers and another have pitted after the safety car and knowing that they are on tires that’s going to take them to the end of the race, and the fools Ferrari tried to cover Webbers and pitted Alonso and got him also into the same mess.[/quote]Why support Webber when Vettel was still in with a fighter's chance? From the sheer number of poles it was obvious the kid could drive Had Red Bull backed Webber they would have lost that Championship! Its as simple as that! Claiming RBR screwed Webber is laughable since he had zero chance of winning that race! He struggled all weekend and could only qualify 5th! Come race day he was busy staring at Alonso and Petrov's exhaust pipes so how he was screwed beggars belief as Vettel led for 39 laps and was certainly not under any threat from Webber. I fail to find any correlation with Eddie Irvine's example [quote author=baby-boy]The magnificent RB7 that had everything blowing everywhere to maximise the down force of the car, flexible wing front wing etc. a car designed to Vettel’s driving style, cruised to the title but some interesting incidents also happened that season, in the Wet at Silverstone Vettel has destroyed his tires but Webber was told to maintain his distance some laps to the end of the race and the same at Suzuka Japan when it look like Webber could snatch 3rd place from Vettel despite the fact that the title has been won. In Korea Jaime Alguersuari contract wasn’t renewed because he couldn’t get out of the way when Vettel was doing his flying lap and prevented Vettel getting pole, Dr Dietrich Mateschitz showed his displeasure towards the Spaniard and the young driver lost his seat.[/quote]Haba! Which kin zobo be dis? So RBR would not renew a driver's contract because of a single racing incident and not because of a more plausible reason which was because he couldn't hack it? If he was not a mediocre driver why has no other team signed him? Surely a young promising driver would not be approaching his 3rd year without a team Webber had his chance to win it all with both drivers on equal footing yet Vettel outperformed him on both occasions [quote author=baby-boy]because of Webber's size and weight he gets a smaller KERS battery, his clutch bit is different because of his height but all in all he was royally screwed by Hoener and Dr Dietrich Mateschitz for the German driver[/quote]Conspiracy theory at best! Nobody was screwed! Vettel is the better driver Every car is usually tailored to each driver's preference! Red Bull have nothing to gain by screwing Webber as they need his points to win the Constructor's Championship [quote author=baby-boy]In 2012 the EDB was banned and uptil Singapore when Adrian Newey built a new rear wing that was blowing like an EBD Vettel (but was legal) Vettel was trailing Alonso and McLaren with who had reliability issues mostly with pit stops and Lewis announcing that he was leaving got them to shift attention away from Lewis to Button and kept Lewis away from the garage from seeing what’s being developed because had 3 retirements from winning positions, but the new wing gave Vettel all the advantage in the world to win in Singapore, Japan, India.[/quote]Was that the sole reason he was trailing? [quote author=baby-boy]All in all you could see that apart from the rocket, the RB7 that flew through the season, without the team using Webber as a guinea-pig in 2010 or the new wing in 2012 that saved Vettels season, even this season (2013) up-till the tyre change in Canada that got both Hoener and Newey crying like a canary mostly after the Spanish GP (Mercedes also cried as well) Vettel has been blowing hot and cold, Last years tires was brought in and this brought Vettel back into play.[/quote]Loool @ Webber being used as a guinea pig in 2010 this is simply not true! How can you even suggest that Red Bull gave preferential treatment to a driver that never led the title race till the final day? This does not make sense in any universe So if something so simple as a wing could change the course of a whole season don't you think other rivals could have given it a shot? You are over simplifying things! No mention of Alonso's retirements? And Vettel who had alternator issues that put him in that deficit as well? These things even themselves out! What do you mean by brought Vettel back into play? At what point in this season was he out of play? Up to the Spanish GP he had two wins! Was coasting to victory till his car let him down at Silverstone so what do you mean by hot and cold? Everyone was complaining about the tyres even Ferrari were among the biggest complainants Please let's be objective with our analysis here [quote author=baby-boy]Yes Vettel is a very good driver but just like MBJ has said let’s see him in another car without the brains of the genius called Adrian Newey and they way the treated Webber leaves a bitter taste but Alonso and Ferrari are also the same thats why I was happy Vettel won the 2010 title after what happened in Germany with Ferrari asking Massa to move over.[/quote]Vettel does not have to go to any car to prove himself! Vettel has nothing to prove even if he never wins a title he is going down in F1 folklore. Alonso,Hamilton,Raikkonen have also not won with other cars yet I don't see anyone questioning their talent Newey has lost to other designers in his career! F1 is a team sport no driver deserves sole credit same way no designer deserves sole credit |
elampiro: Only two players have ever rubbished Ashley Cole. Ronaldinho and Valencia. Ronaldinho at the world cup, Valencia at Old Trafford against Chelsea in 2010/11 season. That was a league deciding match and every ball Valencia touched was excellent. Ashley Young was looking for him all night.How can you list Ashley Cole's abusers and omit Theo Walcott? Ashley Cole is Theo Walcott's b!tch the other ninjas you listed are just one off occurrences |
Obasanjo of course! The undisputed worst president in Nigeria's history |
[quote author=baby-boy]I won’t say it’s boring but it is boring on the other hand, but it is what it is; I could remember the Michael Schumacher era, every year the FIA brought in new rules just to curb Schumacher’s dominance, but each year Schumacher comes out on top but in the new tyre rules went in favour of the cars on Michelin tires and this gave Alonso and Kimi the early advantage and the following year Benetton with the Mass Damper. But they race hard against each other but now its about EBD, Diffuser, DRS, KERS etc[/quote]I think its just excuses from the rivals that simply aren't doing the necessary to stay ahead! There's only so much technology you can put in! On a level ground someone still has to drive the car faster than the other. In Vettel's 4 seasons as Champion I can think of only one season (2011) that Vettel's car was head and shoulders ahead of the rest from start to finish [quote author=baby-boy]The Vettel era is different because of the level of financial commitment from a huge amount of sponsors all over the globe, the problem here is that When Scuderia Ferrari was dominating they still had a very good PR despite the fact that they told Ruben to slow down in Australia in 2002 or 3 so that Michael could win the race. But RBR and the way they have been treating Webber got fans booing them and Vettel on the podium at every race since Seipang, Malaysia up to Suzuka. Now sponsor have got Bernie running from here to there due to the alarming rate of viewers and sponsors who are moving away from the sport. The engineering, sales and marketing boss of Red Bull Formula 1 sponsor Infiniti has admitted Sebastian Vettel’s current dominance is bad news for the firm at the moment [/quote]Vettel was not booed at Suzuka Its one thing to say the sport is boring which is understandable if you are an Alonso,Hamilton fanboy but to not take a second to acknowledge Vettel's genius is laughable and when a spaz like MrBrownjay blames Red Bull for creating this scenario instead of blasting rivals for not keeping up and raising their game then that is pushing sanity past its elastic limit It begs the question should Red Bull and Vettel intentionally tank next season just to make the sport competitive or do the other teams emulate the Red Bull and look for ways to break this chain? Ferrari the F1 team is worth over a billion dollars ditto McLaren are these the guys we should feel sorry for? Bernie doesn't give a shyte! He goes where the money is! Bahrain,Abu Dhabi these aren't exactly F1 mad countries. Next year's race has 22 provisional races but would likely be reduced to 20. F1 is still in pretty healthy shape despite the rumors swirling round |
edoyad: Them teach me say if you fit slap person 3 times for face without him responding in anyway, you're probably that person's father.You wan sell car 7,000 dollars and person carry only 3,000 dollars give you you go sell the car to am? |
MRbrownJAY: I love it when people talk in the air trying to make the most noise while not saying a DAMN Thing to corroborate their claim...... at least bring some valid points to the table, or simply keep quiet.Will you STFU! What a douchegoblin! What point have you made besides display your blatant and idiotic bias and refusing to give credit where it is due? MRbrownJAY: now since you seem to be simply foaming and not making any sense, let ME (MBJ) bring some very valid point to my claim.......people, gather around for this one as it is going to be swift and brutal:You must be very dyslexic! What an eediot! Which of this case scenario cannot be applied to any other driver in F1? So why hasn't Webber been in the championship picture apart from 2010 despite a less restrictive driver dynamic compared to say Ferrari? 100 Adrian Newey's will not win Webber a title It takes an uncommon eediot to not acknowledge that a quality driver like Vettel also had a hand in the improvement of fortunes at Red Bull afterall they were not winning before he got there! They did not win a single race! MRbrownJAY: just follow me guys.............. Webber was at RBR for TWO LONG YEARS prior to 2009. during that time his record was 3rd place finish ONCE, 4th place finish ONCE and 5th place finish ONCE. thats his record for 2007 and 2008 at RBR. in MBJ's understanding thats a very POOR record, but again, thats my opinion. then, RBR brings along the RB5 in 2009 and Webber suddenly wins 2 races, finish 2nd FOUR TIMES, and finish third TWICE in one year.This guy is ret@rded! My question is why didn't Newey design a title-winning car in Vettel's absence? Afterall he was there for two years with Webber surely since he farts diamonds he should be capable of developing a car that should challenge regardless of who mans the steering MRbrownJAY: now, you guys dont have to be brain scientist to understand that the CAR became mighty fast and thats the reason a common driver like Webber is now fighting for the championship.......UNLESS, of course, you people believe that Webber became a highly skilled fantastic driver overnight?!Webber might be a limited driver but he wasn't a complete mug! You are not saying anything new anyway because we've seen average joe's like Massa,Barrichello,Button contest for titles in good cars so thank you Captain Obvious! What we didn't see them do however is win 4 titles in a row MRbrownJAY: so, all you people can sing praises to the Vet (yes he won 4 champs), but i will reserve my judgment as to his "greatness" until i see driving SKILLS and not just someone driving into the sunset unchallenged because his car his simply faster than the rest. thats certainly NOT driving skills to me.....but hey, thats MY opinion, and that does not take away the fact that he won 4 times thanks to the faster car he drives.That is your opinion and sadly its not worth a damn! There's not a champion in the last 25 years that has not won with one or two of the fastest cars on the grid armed with that fact we can basically question the greatness of every driver within that era Prost,Senna,Mansell,Villeneuve,Schumacher,Alonso,Kimi etc so really you have made as much sense as a candle in the sun MRbrownJAY: I congratulate RBR for their achievements in bringing a car into F1 that no other team on the grid can compete with....but equally lift my finger towards them for making F1 very boring to watch, thanks to their dominance. if i already know who is going to win a race then there is no point in anyone watching.This is why the world gasps in awe at your phoolishness! Why should you lift your leprous fingers at them when they've followed all rules and are merely reaping rewards for their diligence I'm sure at school you also ask the most brilliant student in your class to reduce the number of hours he studies so a halfwit like you can catch up For questioning Vettel's abilities you already look phoolish but blaming RBR for simply staying ahead of the pack due to their sweat and hard work puts you in another universe of pathetic |
