If my arguments don't make any sense to you, I suggest you keep running after the money rather than enter into debate with me. I too can be willingly guilty of a closed mind, see. Yet again you make no sense whatsoever. If you don't like Bernie you'd have been better off just saying so and ending i...

Nakojo

The only true clean racer is Villeneuve in my opinion And you base that determination on what? Everyone else is political, deceitful and went beyond racing to achieve their goals, Senna and Prost crashed each other off on purpose to win their championships, Schumacher too, Hill as mentioned above h...

Nakojo

Yes. Indeed.

The world is black and white and manipulation is just a word in the dictionary.

Can't help but admire the audacity.

Nakojo

I do apologise for the sarcasm, it was uncalled for.

My views on 'Spygate'?

It could've been handled diplomatically but RD went for gold, threw in the 'Nazi bitches' head line grabber and overplayed his hand.

That's when Bernie sided with max.

Nakojo

As I stated, I have no personal like or dislike of Bernie (or most anyone apart from my inner circle for that matter), but no one can deny he's a hoarder. He has hoarded more power and money that anyone would ever need. You do not get there -or stay there- by being a nice guy. I'm not contending he...

Nakojo

Yes of course.

Max and Bernie never shared the same agenda and F1 is not about politics.

How foolish of me.

Bread and games, my friend, it's as old as the Romans.

Throw the crowds some crumbs, keeps them happy.

Not always, Marie Antoinette didn't quite get away with 'Let them eat cake' when the people complained about not having bread to eat, but the mentality remains: fukk you, I've for the power.

Nakojo

Okay.... I state Bernie is in it for the money. You agree yet somehow contend it at the same time. You subsequently bring forward two examples where Bernie was involved in financial dealings. I question why that would be contrary to my pov. I think With Bernie it is the love of the business and act...

Hope that helps.

But that's exactly what this thread is about. Perceived sportsmanship, loyalty and the likes. The car is better but that not much better than the competition. They need a top tier driver to secure the WDC. Alonso and Hamilton are not available and Vettel knows that as well as Horner and Mateschitz d...

Nakojo

Meh, in both cases Bernie called the shots.

The first mentioned was louder as he could dump RD in the process.

Same difference.

Nakojo

And the popularity brings in more money. Or do you think he blocks F1 news bringing sites for the love of the sport? He is always looking to make money at the same time. But to add a read a book a while ago in Jordan days he did alot to help the teams found them sponership etc. and it at still go o...

Nakojo

If you want to be a Great, you cannot afford to be 'clean', whether it was Fangio jumping into his teammates car, Clark spitting out dirt and stones by driving beyond the track, Senna or MS; ruthlessness is a 'talent' each and every great possesses, including Alonso and Vettel. The last Mohican poss...

Nakojo

This thread got me reading up on Nelson again.

I was rooting for Reutemann and Prost at the time but my, my, what a great and widely under-appreciated champion he was.

Nakojo

Id say the fact Vettel got away with it with merely an argument with Mark shows he is bigger than the team currently. He knows there not going to get rid of him when they have a championship winning car. Who would win it for them? Buemi and Webber? Whether we think its a good thing or not, as it st...

Nakojo

So making the sport huge, turning it into a business, is suddenly a good thing?

Makes me wonder why there are so many 'nostalgic' threads, bemoaning the lack of sportsmanship.

You cannot have both.

Edit: and fwiw, I don't dislike Bernie, it's merely an assessment.

Nakojo

And then again, there is of course the safety net that he is a protected #1 driver and that his team isn't going to destroy the dynamics of the team. Flapping your lips to keep the flies away comes cheap, see. Btw, this goes for Vettel and Alonso equally. For hammie too, fwiw, he knows RBR and Ferra...

Nakojo

So Bernie calls the shots in F1 and wants the world to know.

Move along people, nothing to be seen here.

Nakojo

If I were driving a winning F1 car and getting paid multi $$$ a week, I'd gladly be booed.

“Never confuse education with intelligence.” – Albert Einstein no one is confusing anything, Just wanted to know. Indeed. I'd think (expect or hope) that young drivers would be expected to get a few A levels, an I.B. or the equivalent. If they want to progress their studies beyond that, I'd imagine...

Great stuff, POB, it has made my esteem for Lauda gone up even more, if that were possible. Thanks Nakajo: Lauda was exceptional, and Prost learned so much from him in 1984-5. Mario Andretti did not like commenting on fellow drivers, but one he singled out was Lauda, saying how much he admired him ...

So one is a snake, the other is a rat. Same difference.

Anyone under the illusion that there is any space for altruism (or mr nice guy) in F1 needs a reality check.

They're -rightly so- interested in one thing: how to gain an advantage over the competition.

Nakojo

On the topic of treating drivers (or indeed anyone) with dignity, crowds cheering a crash (ie MS at Silverstone '99) surely demonstrates even more lack of respect.

Nakojo

Edit: removed. Thnx&sorry, mod

I'm rather surprised at the lack of implications to his dubious past, mostly at Benetton but also at Ferrari. Brawn has always demonstrated to be willing to push the envelope beyond what most consider 'sporting'. It is both his strength and his weakness. As long as it works, hey, great, you get some...

Then again, there is a small percentage who isn't affected by left or right side activity, as their brains are directly connected to their pickles.

Raw talent is just an excuse for putting down drivers each individual supports less. everyone likes an attribute and says that this is the one true talent and thus likes a driver who has such a skill. everyone else just has less "RAW talent" Who says that working your donkey off to improve is no ta...
