just jokin'... am sure he is just doing his job... but hell McLaren is going to have a hell of a 2008 season... Alonso is sure to be glad he got kicked out of the team now... and he'll be laughing his ass off if his arch rival's team gets disqualified in the middle of the season...

http://planet-f1.com/story/0,18954,3213_2951193,00.html
duh... everyone would have seen it coming..Renault was miles off the pace of McLaren the whole of this season... either the renault engineers is not intelligent enough to understand McLaren's technical drawings or they did not even take it into serious considerations at all...

and the kicker... if they did use McLaren data... and McLaren were confirmed to have used Ferrari data... Renault will be charged of indirectly stealing Ferrari data.. isn't it:hmmmm:

Court Wars : Renault Fights Back


all this intense, nut crunching, teeth grinding, knuckle clenching, head grabbing, hair pulling, on the edge of the seat news of the 2007 post season news is

sourced from : planet-f1.com


2007 season is the most craziest of them all... on track fights, off track fights, cock fights, over-bragging, blackmail, back stabbing, the silently sneak up on someone and stick it up their ass, the team mate who is stupid and does not knows how to speak (i now wonder if Kimi is Top Gear's the Stig), the patriotic and sacrificing team mate, the pain in the ass team mate who likes to brag a bit but acts like he is not bragging and all innocent, the fussy and lots of excuses team mate, and not to mention... al the thrilling court sessions...man it turns out like the 2007 season has been written in Hollywood... wonder what we'll be in for 2008...

now... anyone care to compile a list of the confirmed 2008 drivers?

i wonder whether this is something Bernie had to do to ensure the breakaway series do not materialised.

you see, he controlled all the money and power, and sometime back in 2006 or so, all those teams (EXCEPT for bloddy Ferrari) would be set up the breakaway series which entitle them for more controlling power.

but he (bernie) knew he had to do something to liven things up. so came the Ferrari downfall (so-called) and Renault won something. Lewis was something a bonus I would say. and those Lewis-Alonso saga should be widely circulated to gain publicity.

and then we got the spy-gate 1 and 2. and in 2008, traction controll is gone and expect some chatastrophic crashes ahead. that will attract more people i suppose. lol.

it looks like the breakaway series will have to wait a little longer.

 

[drMpower]

I have always supported the silver arrow since the days of Hakkinen. But, their treatment over Alonso had not been the best I would say.

But not many was expecting Lewis to be that good. i am not taking anything away from him, but McM should back Alonso more as he is the proven product that can win title, not only for himself, but also to the team.

what if Lewis was not that fast? or was not the good? I am sure McM would be throwing everything for Alonso. You have to bear in mind that they paid the Spaniard big money - in excessive of 10-20 million. so, i dont know whether they would pay such money for small, unknown driver, let say, Sato?

but i do hope Alonso finds another big high credential team for himself, and also McM to really stumped their mark this time around.

was it Ferrari that was planning a breakaway series... can't remember anyways...

anyways... all this scandal and team mate wars i don't think was caused by Bernie.. he does not have powers that big... it was only a small camp fire which was fueled by Mr. Max Mosley to become a big ass forest fire... and to worsten it... Ron was not helping much by sticking his foot up some other nuts ass...

anyways... if ron were to manage both his drivers better... this would not have happened (easy for me to say)...but it has happened several times in the past... even the so-called perfect partnership between mika and david did suffer some relationship strains from competiting against each other... it is time for ron to learn that there will be a definitive number 1 at some point in the season... and alonso is not helping McLaren out by being a prick and pain in the ass with his finger pointing and blackmailing (sorry alonso fans, but this did happen)...

in McLaren... there is always equality (if this were to be answered by Ron) no mather if one is the stronger and faster one... as for Alonso's pay... he came into McLaren as a WDC... Hamilton came in basically as a rookie who has not proven himself... hence the minor pay... he got a pay hike of what (like 10 mil) after his 1st season... he is undoubtedly fast... but he is in a quick car...

Alonso was fast too... but he won his 2 WDCs when Ferrari were down in the pits (sort of)...in the end.. there is no arguing who is better... if Alonso is fast but not co-operating... there is no use for him to be in the team... it is a team sport anyway... just my opinion...

 

[drMpower]

yeah, u might be right after all. McM got this thing about 2 great drivers who happened to be rivals as well. Prost and Senna. and also the recent one, Alonso and Lewis.

its like an old Malay proverb - menarik benang dalam tepung. tepung tak berselerak, benang tak putus.

meaning, whatever you do, dont shake the whole thing off. u might get away with the thing u want, with the minimum people realised it.

 

[jigc]

LoL, if there is equality in McL, Ron dennis wont said this after Chinese GP 2007: "We weren’t racing Kimi, we were basically racing Fernando."
