Well I've figured since everyone has gone Thread happy on trying to win the F1 gp topics and now the mods have taken control there is No F1 discussion between the races.
How long did it take you to figure this? It was explained in a post, and doesn't really require a new thread for you to tell us.
Unless, of course, you meant to say that this thread is for all F1 discussion between races (which you forgot to type), which is a direct violition of Sam's ruling. All this talk should go into the British GP thread until the week of the next race when we can have a shiny new thread.
Sam will probably merge this thread to keep things tidy.
It's been speculated that he'll be in a red car ever since the deal with McLaren went sour ... We'll just have to watch this space and see what happens until then
I did say it, Tristan's correct, but for the life of me I can't remember where it was now either.
We'll keep this thread going this time around - 3 weeks is a big gap, and with everything that's been going on in F1 in the past few weeks, there's been a whole lot more than one thread's worth of talking points to get through.
The reason for the announcement and the ban on creating F1 race threads was because of the plain silly behaviour on the part of a small bunch of people, in a ridiculous competition to create the next F1 race thread. It was never about preventing or limiting discussions on the topic of F1.
Once discussion in a particular F1 race thread has died down to nothing after a race, I'm thinking of locking those race threads with a post and link to this thread, where any discussions can carry on. Then at least we form something of a discussion structure, and everyone will be able to follow F1 discussions easily.
So, Bernie crawled out of his cave and gave an interview where he expressed fondess for strong leaders leaders like Max Mosley, Saddam Hussein and Adolf Hitler. Although he made a point that Hitler wasn't very good dictator because he lost in the end.
Can't someone just throw this senile troll into a river already?
Mosely is not a strong or good leader, a good leader will have everyone behind him supporting him, Mosely is hated by the majority and his authority has been somewhat undermined, hardly a good leader then.
How much longer must lions be lead by lambs in the world of F1?
And Bernie came rather close to envoking Godwin's law.
Judging by whats going on on BBC news, it looks like Bernie has a scandal of his own on his hands!
What I (personaly) find funny is that everyone seems to be stabbing Max and Bernie in the back at any given chance, but without them F1 may not have been what it has and has grown into. Unfortunately they did not know when to walk away and as such their legacy will forever be remembered for the past 4/5 years of utter incompetence,
I also cant help feel that sometimes is a case of 'better the devil you know' and if it become Jean Todt who replaces Max then things will be worse, and if not Jean, then who else is out there to take over?
Teams such as Lola and Prodrive who were unsuccessful on there bid to be on the grid in 2010 both said the reason why is because they chose not to take a Cosworth engine.
The Fia didn't want all the teams to be backed by manufactuer teams they wanted them powered by independants so they had more say on who comes in the sport or not.
I think this is completely unfair, For Prodrive and Lola Both of which have far better facilities and pedigree then the 3 teams that where accepted.
You can bet that manufacturer's are not going to let that one go and it's something that EU Comission of Competition could be interested in.
As for Todt, Mosley has named him as a candidate to take over if he decides to quit but that seems to be very unlikely at the moment. Even if Mosley would step down, manufacturers probably won't support Todt due to his close relationship with Mosley and Ferrari.
