The Official 2008 F1 Series Thread

Frankly I hate how people give Heidfeld so much crap for sucking. I mean Kubica is a great driver, but last year their situation was reversed. Heidfeld is just as responsible for BMW doing so well this season as Kubica. I can't think of a better combo for bringing home points than Heidfeld and Kubica, except for maybe Kimi and Felipe, or Micheal and Felipe.
Alonso and Kubica would most likely be a disaster.

In reagrds to the last comment, no doubt. With Alonso goes a trail of controversy and negative publicity. I am a huge fan of Heidfeld, and up until a few races ago, I thought he was doing a fantastic (read: consistent) job, but the last few races have really shown just how off pace he is compared to Kubi. Sure the F1.08 isn't the best mid- to high-downforce car, but look how Kubi has managed this year... it begs many questions.

I'm still cheering for Heidfeld, but the guy has to get things together and try to keep his #1 status at BMW-Sauber.

I also agree with your remarks regarding Heidfeld and Kubica's chemistry within the team, they both compete for P1, but they do so with class and sportsmanship... you know, like Alonso and Hamilton used to do, :D.

Fuck Trulli, that was a giant dick move against Kov.

Assuming he saw Heikki, I don't think it was that dick of a move, it was just him defending his position. He began to close the line, Heikki kept coming until there wasn't any more track and had to back off. I am not sure that it would have worked anyway as I think it was a right hand turn coming up so he would have been off the line to seal the deal. Dick move? Maybe but not nearly as bad as some of the things that Schumacher or Alonso have done to people. To me it was just a great battle, track position shouldn't be handed to you with a golden plate, as both Mclarens figured out this race.

What a great battle for 3rd! Trulli had the line, and was defending it. It was all fair imho.

Good race. And once again thumbs down for Lewis haha, especially after listening to his interview...

[E30Kaiser]

There was a picture on the F1 website I believe taken just before the race started and Hamilton looked like a spoiled kid who was just told no. I can only imagine the look on his face after the race lol.

You are what we call round here a HATER:D

[TDE30]

You are what we call round here a person who watches F1 and can separate real talent from media hype:D

Fixed.

[E30Kaiser]

Fixed.

Thank you lol, either we are both haters or like the majority of this forum I think we really know what Hamilton is all about.

But considering most of the worlds press comes through Britain, it isn't surprising how hyped he is.

[Hick]

Hamilton isnt a bad driver but i will point out that when last years Mclaren [aka Ferrari] was showing speed, it was more the car than the drivers. Hamilton does have the ability to do well, but he HAS to have the right eqipment behind him.

Not saying he is "Bad" but over-rated. Just like the Beatles. No one can live up to the hype they give him except someone like Mika, or Schumacher or Senna.

[Hick]

The whole "Is Hamilton the next Schumacher" headlines pissed me off. lets see how well he does over the next 13 years

[Fel]

I'll be perfectly honest, I have no hate for Hamilton. I think he's talented, but still very much a rookie who needs to learn a few more things before he can become great. He had a flashy entrance to F1 last season, and now things aren't coming at easily this year. He'll either figure it out eventually and go on to be one of the great drivers of F1 history, or burn out and drop of the radar in the next few years.

Honestly, I like watching Massa, Kubica (BMW love), and Hamilton. Massa just cracks me up 'cause he's ballsy and entertaining to watch. Kubica reps the BMW, and he's doing quite well this year.

Hate Alonso. Guy just bothers me now.

[Hick]

Check back to the first few pages of this thread: Massa '08

[E30Kaiser]

I like to watch Kimi because his and Mika's style of driving to me is just so refreshing. It's not ballsy, it is classy. I like Massa but his style is more like Fernando's and Schumacher's where he feels he is really gutsy and feels he is entitled to that position, except when it comes to team-mates which is respectable.

Only other driver I really like to watch closely is Sebastian Vettel as to me, he really is the up and coming driver and it is always fun to pull for the underdog.
