F1 2008

Sure, I understand the point that he is doing well and all that, but it's far less a fiasco in any other racing league...
Hmmm... now that's some trophy :)
Lol @ redbull :D

Reliability. Nothing else stopped Kimi from winning championships.

Yeah the same reliability issues that Ferrari had in 2005 that made Renault and Mclaren driven by Alonso and Kimi look better than they were. It's all relative really. Six of the one and half a dozen of the other. It could also be argued that Kimi was to severe on the Mclaren's pushing them too hard in his quest for victory and aggravating their propensity to fail. Either way the facts do speak for themselves and the facts say Kimi didn't win a championship driving a Mclaren/Mercedes but he did driving the Ferrari which brings me back to my original point, Ferrari maketh the man...

Then Ferrari would be winning the championship every year:rolleyes:.

I'd just like to point out that Kimi didn't win it, but Lewis lost it:D. Does he qualify as a choker yet?:p

6 of Ferrari's victories came from 1999-2004 and a 7th in 2007. So up to 1998 they were tied with Macca on 8 in second place behind Williams;)

Edit:

First seaons:
  • Ferrari - 1950
  • Maclaren - 1966
  • Williams - 1975

In his defense, I will admit that I once had done 190kmph in my 1400 Kadett Cub en route home on the N2.... and the limit is 120 of course... Must be tempting in some serious hardware...
But then I'm not a role model for youngsters, so he has a greater responsibility...
Lol, it's like taking work home :D
 
i did 200 following a big ass mercedes on my way to mmbatho in a 1.8! mazda etude

in all honesty its not really that fast, i would not have done it had i not been behind the merc though :)

oms my petrol went fast that day lol

wow in this country you would be arrested :)

brad how can he be a role model? he drives at over 300km on a race track :)
 
Even the French coppers seem to have a soft spot for Hamilton. Imagine a Metro cop making excuses for Lolly after his sessions on the N3. :D

"He admitted the offence immediately and was really very polite," a police spokesman said at the time, adding that Hamilton had said in his defence that the motorway was "very clear" at the time.

:D indeed lol!

That 1.8 etude is not a bad machine - very quick to the take. I agree - 200 is not that fast on an open highway... in reality it's when you hit someone that you think about it...

THE Eastern Cape’s MEC for Social Development, Ncedani Samson Kwelita, was yesterday involved in a fatal accident when the car he was driving struck a pedestrian, cutting the man in half.

A case of culpable homicide has been opened, although the MEC was not formally charged, police said yesterday. Kwelita was driving home to Dimbaza in his state-owned Mercedes-Benz when the accident happened just before 6am on the Alice-King William’s Town road near Ntaka junction.

The 37-year-old pedestrian’s torso was found some 50mfrom the point of impact.

“My strongest suspicion is that the speed was too high, and to think that the speed limit on the R63 is 100km/h. For someone to be split in half you really have to be speeding,” said Machaea.

Yeah - I happened to start that 190kph run when trailing a top brass traffic cop en route home just to see if he would break the law... I struggled to keep up with him at 190kph - and that was while the N2 was in a 100kph zone... he turned off some time before I got home, but I maintained the speed thinking to myself... who cares bout the law. I have since matured ;)
 
yea but also the road i was on was a baron road with like 4 cars an hour type thing lol

yea thats a crazy story
 
Unless it happens to be in the middle of a traditional ceremony :eek:

:sick: I once saw a pedestrian at the side of the road with a missing foot, his foot was still in his shoe which was in the road about 7metres away from where he was lying. He was literally foot loose. Horrible sight, can't imagine what a cut in half body would look like....:sick:

McLaren deserve to be at the end of the pitlane. They scored no constructors' points in 2007 because they stole another teams info and used it to their advantage. Bahrain is the first track to enforce the correct interpretation thereof. The FIA is not against McLaren. This is their own doing.
