i thought they actually did get the 3 race probation?

i was happy to see vettel get on the podium again. I really hope that guy does well.

so are we still going to have our race date? you can come to willow springs and race with me tomorrow morning if you want

The three race ban was suspended, will only go into place if new evidence emerges or they do something similar within the next 12 months. Pretty sure they used Schumacher in Monaco qualifying as an example.

I WISH! I'm not back in California until mid-June, and will be accepting all offers as of then (ESPECIALLY if they involve Willow Springs.)

[ClemKevin]

well, im a fan of willow springs as of today, just not with a car that only has 125 ftlbs of torque

[ClemKevin]

after some video review, i did a 1:45 today, i think i could do better if there werent 30+mph winds

[ijustgattaflowYO]

willows still pretty fun though, def buttowillow>spring but idk. big track at willow is fun too....
when is this miata you spoke of happening?

[ClemKevin]

not sure, no specific timeline, it will happen though. i guess once 1. my little brother gets his lisence, and 2. my friend john finds a car he wants to buy so he can sell me his

who the fuck is kristin and why aren't we married yet?

p.s. poor rubens. he'll always be stuck in the number 2 spot. always a bride's maid never a bride.

p.p.s. i really don't know how to feel about kimi scoring his first points 4 races into the season. i feel like my dog just died.

p.p.p.s. i hope vettel can challenge button when they get to europe, he seems like the only man that could have an answer to button and the brawn.

p.p.p.p.s. the ban on mid season testing coupled with all these crazy fucking aero changes and slick tires has seriously fucked ferrari, even more than mclaren. i don't think they'll be able to sort their car out for at least 3 or 4 more races. if massa had just fucked up a couple more times last season hamilton would have wrapped up the championship earlier and ferrari could have focused on the F2009. this season is making me even if it is exciting. OH! and nelson piquet... what the fuck is he still doing at renault? i really expected to see bruno senna next to alonso this year.

[kristin]

Andy, you already know me, get with it.

It seriously is a bummer watching Ferrari struggle so much this year. I find myself reading about Kimi's early years pretty frequently to mask the fact that this is a terrible year for him. It almost works.

I definitely think/hope the next few races are going to be tight, I wouldn't mind at all if Vettel came up. He is really rad and it's nice to see him credit his team as much as he does.

I have such mixed emotions about this year, part of me is stoked that it is exciting and pretty different from the last few years, another part of me would be content just watching Kimi annihilate. Massa is a crybaby and cracks under pressure, do not want.

[ihatelowcarbs]

I love kimi and to see him struggle hurts me. But Ive always joked about button winning and its finally happening. Stoked on that

[kristin]

Someone make

Cute as a

shirts

[Andy]

hahaha CLEVER!


if ross brawn and jean todt's usefulness was ever in question, it should be apparent now by how many times ferrari has fucked up lately. massa and now kimi sitting in the garage while Q1 ends and not advancing is inexcusable. i know kimi said it was his fault but he's lied before to cover for his team. like at monza in 06 when his rear suspension failed and he said he made a mistake under braking.

cue KIMI chant.

[kristin]

The Button Vettel battle should be rad, but SERIOUSLY FERRARI, GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER!
I had high hopes with all the changes to the cars, and for the sixth time this year, crushed.
I kind of hate myself for not being completely stoked on how different things are this year, positions/rules/teams/cars but...

LET'S GO KIMI LET'S GO

[ToddddPetty]

hamilton is the shit




































just wanted to say that to make all the raikkonen fans upset.

[kristin]

Hamilton has talent, but he has always been a fucking baby and he has made that really, really clear this season.

[ToddddPetty]

yes and yes. his dad im making out to be something he isnt and i really think that he should start fresh and grow on his own vs being controlled by uk media and "good protestant" ways.

[Andy]

kimi's car failing... what the fuck ferrari. what. the. fuck.

i want to take a sledgehammer to this 09 season.

[kristin]

I don't even want to talk about it, I seriously couldn't even bring myself to post in this thread. Without prompting.

HOWEVER, a comeback in Monaco, place of disasters, would be fitting and awesome. Fingers fucking crossed.

[Andy]

good weekend for ferrari, had kimi gotten the tire strategy right or utilized his 7 laps of extra fuel more to his advantage, he probably could have finished in 2nd. i am pleased. poor vettel though
