That's fucking gay dude. I hate people that bitch about "spoilers". Here's a hint, don't click an F1-related thread after an F1 race if you don't want to know.

I have to agree with Charlie, and with Speed's (usually pretty good) coverage of each GP, waiting on a torrent seems moot.

...that is fucking ballin' off the scale.

Bernie is a fucking prick. And a dumb one at that.

What's wrong with the title of the team promoting the fucking sport?

As much as I hate that little troll, Andy Warhol looking freak, Bernie, I can't blame them for enforcing their trademarks. If you don't protect your trademarks, you lose them. It is as simple as that. I am surprised that USF1 even considered using it in that way given the FOM's rigid enforcement of its trademarks.

Button fastest on day three of testing. thats pretty crazy considering the team, however Honda said they thought they had a good package this year before dropping out.

Mclaren has an issue with the rear wing 'stalling' they claim the 08 wing will be more like the wing they will run at Australia. They are also redesigning the undertray area.

this is just dumbfounding, how is Brawn GP doing so well? This is their first real test session with the car and they are at the top almost every day? And when you consider what they have been through the past 3 months WTF!? Oh well, they deserve it and I hope it transfers to Melborne. Seems like only Force India and maybe Torro Rosso will be back markers this year and who knows with them, anything is possible.

[z31maniac]

^Because they basically quit developing the '08 car a few races into the season and started working on the '09 car. Who knows, maybe they aren't running "legal" aero along with low fuel loads in attempt to get sponsors or something.

Anyone read the story about Flavio whining like a little bitch that Toyota and Williams "carefully" read the splitter rules and about how they are taking advantage. Bunch of French pussies. Too bad, I like Alonso.

I was hearing a lot of talk about Williams, Toyota, and Ferrari violating aero regs a few weeks ago. I assume all of that has since been adjusted.

I'm still completely confused about McMerc's lack of pace during testing lately.

[E30Kaiser]

McMerc doesn't have Ferrari's schematics anymore is their problem! J/k, but yeah, Melbourne qualies will reveal all.

[tg318is]

hey hey hey. guess who might be going to the Melbourne gp!!! :finger:

Very good point. If they are as good as they look right now come race time, Im sure Honda will regret selling the team
