Alas the Ice Man's Engine Failed!

Post by Jim Watt » Sat Jul 02, 2005 3:43 am

The Qualiflier tells us that little over half of us picked Kimi to win the race AND the pole:alright: Well, now we know that the Pole's not an option :evil: since the engine went south.

But fear not, Kimi will pass half of the ten in front of him on the first lap and collect the others before lap 12 :D

I know he's running on Mushlins, Jay Vee. But the thing is, unlike Fernando, Kimi gets the most out of ALL OF his equipment --and then he gets that little bit more!

This is done, not by engineering and strategizing, by squeezing seconds off pit stops. It's done by going faster through the turns than anyone else --and my map shows 16 curves at Magny Cours! So, while your Webbo is trying to decide his racing line, Kimi is already setting up for the NEXT corner! :crush:

I know, I know, Fernando is the cute one. But I can't bring myself to cheer for a baby blue race car and I hate to hear the Marseillaise booming down from the podium.

Thats bloody typical, waltz in here looking absolutely gorgeous, as usual, assassinate two or three of us, and waltz back out leaving only a hint of your subtle scent!. By the way, you have a piece of spinach stuck to a front tooth :shock:

I will of course consult with the other fidiots, however it is my contention that anyone on top in fidiots does not, by the very nature of things, belong in fidiots :!: :D

f1idiots is no place for anyone whose theory for picking 8'n'pole is based on actual driver/car ability....it should be left for those who continue to push for their preferred driver/s no matter how unlikely it is that they will finish in the top 8 let alone qualify on pole.

i'm for a knowledge free f1idiots!!!!
There are no stupid questions, only stupid people.......


I'm no ordinary idiot. I'm an F1 idiot!!!

You guys are just saying that because you two are coming last. hehe
Ok, Lewis may win the WDC in 07, but Sato will beat him in 08.
