the word: "Boycott".

Since that happened I have seen no convincing argument that McLaren are playing fair this season. So I will not give them my support.
Sorry Alonso, Hammo, it is for the greater good.... :sorry:

Hullo :friends2: !

I got my reports on France & Germany. I actually made the top 20 for me picks for France; the best results I EVER had. :oops: Then, to properly humble me, with my picks for for Europe I fell back into me norm: that is the third century. :burnout:

So, remembering what a mess Hungary was last year with a podium made up of Jenson; Pedro (de la Rosa!) & Nick, I am truly shooting in the dark and so fall back on the most conservative possible choices 8)

:1st: Kimi in the Number One Ferarri because he is the Number One Ferarri driver
:2nd: Felipe in the Number Two Ferarri because he is the Number Two Ferarri driver (and it's time to draw attention away from Ron Dennis's High Integrity Operation) :gl:
:3rd: Lewis Hamilton because it's time to draw attention away from Ron Dennis's High Integrity Operation :clap:
4th: Fernando Alonzo because by finishing off the podium he will draw attention away from... oh you know :alright:
5th: Nick Heidfeld because he won't be able to pass Fernando anywhere on the circuit or in the pits :evil:
6th: Robert Kubica because Nick won't allow HIM to pass :roll:
7th: Giancarlo Fisichella because he has been written off by everyone (even Flavio!) by now [I know, this violates my principles of cool logic and analytical procedures worthy of Q herself!] :lol:
8th: Heikki K. because, after so much grief Renault DESERVES all the points they can get from here on out! :up:
The Pole, of course, will go to Kimi :cheers:

It will be HOT! HOT!! HOT !!! in Hungary this year; let's hope the race is NOT NOT NOT a boring procession won by superior pit stops And whatever happens, let's see the return of a 4 man race for the WDC :wave: :up: :up: :up:

Tally Ho! After the fox; I mean, the Ferarri :lol:

Its all very simple. I call it "Lloyd's Theory of F1" The speed fear principle.
Scottys gone that will scare the bjesus out of Liuzzi and he will now go 1.5 sec. a lap faster in a heap of shitmobile and this will make the throatgrabber look like a rocket scientist. :evil:

I do believe I am detecting a slight note of cynicism in a number of posts, over recent events in F1 8)
