i have to admit, i'm usually not a very big fan of mb for some odd reason.. it always seems that their used cars don't hold their value worth a poo, so that tends to say something about them to me that doesn't speak of quality.. i could be way off base of course though..
i do love the sls, but i think that's more of an amg creation then an out and out mb one, at least the part that counts, the engine, is.. and i hate mb for what they did to michael his last three seasons in f1...
what's pissing me off even more is that it looks to be quick this season so far in pre-testing, and if i said i hate one lewis hamilton, it would be a huge understatement, lol.

well, imo, damn Luca di Montezemolo forced schumi out to usher in kimi.. yeah, schumi was getting old, but you don't forget how to drive after winning 7 wdc's imho.. he had at least another good season or two in him in my eyes.. and look what happened to damn kimi, yeah, he won one wdc for the scuderia, but then flaked out and just took off for a year or two, wtf was that all about? lol...
so being that he more than likely felt he was forced out, and didn't go on his on will, he felt kind of idk the correct word, but i think he wanted to retire on his own speed, when he thought it was the right time.. i was glad to see him come back, but i wish he'd have come back to a better car ....
as far as lewis, yeah, he's talented, but my god, what a cocky lil prick imo.. always blaming the car, the team, nothing is ever his fault.. one thing about schumi was he won and lost as a team.. you'd never hear him come on the radio during a gp and bitch about something that just happened like the unmentioned one, lol.. and the team loved him for it..
look at how mclaren felt about lewis the last few years.. not really the way you want to go about winning gp's and a wdc ime... yeah, the team had some bad pitstops, etc, but it's not like he's never eff'ed up imo.. idk, he just rubs me the wrong way for some odd reason.. and on top of that, if i had to look at damn anthony hamilton hanging out in the garage one more time, i was going to break the tv, lol.. how many times have you ever seen say schumi's dad hanging in the pits, whispering in ms's ear every second?? cut the chord lewis, lol..

That happens to every champion at some point... I'm thinking of Vettel and Hamilton here.. They start out just working for it, then once they get a championship under their belt its all: the team this and the car that. Don't even get me started on the facial hair and goofy sunglasses *cough* *Hamilton*....

i'm not a fan of kimi tbh.. he's got too many damn marbles in his mouth and i can never understand wtf he says, lol.. he reminds me a lot of hakinen (sp?), it must be the culture from where they're from, very monatone, not exciting to listen to to say the least..
i really like rogro though... yeah, he crashed a lot last year, but a lot of drivers do their first season, the important thing imo is that he's quick, very quick in fact.. he even outpaced kimi in qualy more than once, not an easy feat..
i like alonso, he's quick, rings every thing from the car, even when it's not quick imo.. i also like massa, but he's not the same since hungry in 09, not that i can blame him for that one..
i like vettel too.. i've met mark webber and also Nelson Piquet jr, and pat symonds.. i really liked pat symonds.. when i go to the gp's, i use grand prix tours, and the saturday before the races, they have a nice dinner, and in spain they had nelshino and pat symonds do a q and a session, and in montreal they had it with mark webber.. peter windsor usually hosted, but once or twice it was matt bishop instead of peter windsor..

i really liked kubica, i saw big things in his future.. it's a sin what happened to him as i don't see him ever driving an f1 car again in vein, quite the shame..

If you like top gear, of course you do.., find the segment with Hakkinen, he teaches James to rally. The curt answers are addressed. You can tell its just the people, they are so reserved! Fantastic drivers, those Finns. I am a huge Kimi fan, he is brilliant no matter what car he drives IMO. And his commentary is ridiculous, nearly a joke haha
Massa got the bad end of things, I just wish we got to see his A game, since his role is more to back up Alonso. Same goes for Webber... I want to see these guys GO FOR IT, not just take second place to their primaries.
It is an amazing sport, and I love talking shit on NASCAR with my coworkers any day of the week. All I have to bring up are the road course NASCAR events lol. You will never see more spinning racecars than on a road course NASCAR event lol

For years now I have been waiting for a diesel hybrid motorcycle. Now there is an efficient concept. Take a teeny tiny Euro diesel and a honkin electric motor on a lightweight bike... 200 mpg is totally possible. Probably more!Volkswagen unveiled what it is calling the "world's most fuel-efficient car" at the Geneva Motor Show in Switzerland Tuesday.
