Jensen Button, part 7: "The final, final showdown"
Although I follow all sports to some extent, I've pretty much given up on F1 these days - it is so artificial! Even so, I am getting quite excited at the prospects of yet another Jensen Button battle.
First we had: "I don't want to stay at Honda, I want to join Williams", followed a year later by "I don't want to join Williams, I want to stay at Honda". It's getting like the Rambo movies :lol:. I wonder what he wants now (espec as Rosberg and Webber blow him away)? What he NEEDS is a smack in the face with a six pound haddock. The man - correction: child - is an overpaid moaning tosser who can't race....the Max Biaggi of F1. |
Mr.Willy I think you do Max very badly with this comparison. :?
Interesting that perhaps the only driver with a little personality and cojones to speek his mind has had enough of F1. Yeah Montoya is away to play in Nascar. Button for me is a joke, :wink: |

Compare that to the fabulous, nail-biting, down to the wire MotoGP which was on just before, and it's like comparing a ten course banquet to a slice of dry bread! |
F1 just have no idea how to create a spectacle to be honest. I cannot understand how the droves of fans turn up week after week when most action takes place in the pit lane and the majority of track side fans would miss that!
They really should encourage some way of making the sport more competitive. Then it would really be a matter of the top drivers coming out on top and not those with the best technology available to them. Technology plays it's part of course in Moto GP but not I suggest to the detriment of the sport. This season for example has been the most competitive for some years. :wink: |

But I love F1, yup it's dull as watching paint dry at the moment, but just to hear them is amazing.....would still recommend going to Goodwood to see them tho!! Quote:

Ah yes I can agree they do have sexy sounds. But I would rather pay for a CD than go along to watch a race. :P

Years ago I went to see a F! race, but it was rubbish! YOu had no idea of who was winning, and you only realised someone had crashed when you realised you'd not seen them for 20 mins.
I think most tracks are better now, in that they have big screens etc, but it's turned into a very dull sport. I don't see how anyone other than Bernie Ecclestone makes any money out of it. |
I went car racing this weekend(The shame of it) But i did get to see the original Mario Andretti '78 championship winning Lotus 79 (no 3 of 5) yep the best looking F1 car ever! it was amazing to see how basic it was just 1 switch on the steering wheel on and off!! at least then it was usually the most talented driver that won, not the best car/ race strategy/fuel load.
Al through having the genius that was Colin Chapman in your pit helped a bit chris |

As big a fan of Mario as I was, it has to be said that the 79 was the first successful ground effect F1 car which took aerodynamics to a whole new level. Added to that, restrictive practices in No. 2 driver contracts weren't invented by Ferrari in recent years - Ronnie Peterson, probably the fastest driver of his generation, was grateful for the work and happy to follow team orders before paying the ultimate price in that same season and never achieving the championship he was more than capable of. |
Best thing they could go to F1 would be ban the wings, less need to stay back cause the airflow gets disrupted, and make the race shorter with no pitstops...
No actually the best thing they could do with F1 would be put Bernie Ecclstone in front of the grid and let the drivers run him over, I'd pay to watch that little cretin get splattered all over the track... |
