Just had to resurrect this thread. I had an appointment to go to the doctor for a "digital examination" this morning. I think to my self " Ah, digital= electronics and modern technical equipment etc" Nope, it was just the digit x( :blush: Had I thought it through, I may not have gone. I can not bel...

Maybe you should ask them to belt up.

Mateschitz turns 101 but has been inhabiting a darkened office for the last thirty years threatening (in letters written in purple ink) to withdraw from F1. Bernie's head was cryogenically preserved. They found a cure for what killed him so thawed him out. No-one reckoned on a cure for insatiable gr...

Moby, Let me add my congratulations. I too have recently retired; after almost thirty years living and working in the Arctic Mrs. Painless and I are now in beautiful Quebec. When you haven't seen fresh fruit and veg that hasn't been subjected to the tender mercies of the air cargo handlers for a whi...

Blake,
I agree with much of what you say but just to play devil's advocate here if the other teams don't turn up (read get paid) then there is no "show". Ali didn't get paid millions to shadow box did he?

painless

Cardboard box in t' middle of road you say? You were lucky!

painless

But I think it would be possible to avoid the B team tactics issue you raise This is just a knee-jerk and I have not thought this through but perhaps the reward in terms of points (for points read money) could be (artificially) enhanced for the new boys to make the kow-towing to their suppliers les...

This is a creation vs. evolution argument is it not? The FIA seemingly wishes new teams, sorry! new constructors to emerge, blinking, into the light and compete as equals with the established runners. To strain the analogy a little further I am looking for the meteor not to wipe out the top teams bu...

painless

For reasons which I do not yet (for fear of jinxing plans) wish to divulge, Mrs. Painless and I hope to travel a lot more soon. Is this thread intended as an "Avoid this" warning area: If you travel to Moosefart Newfoundland for God's sake don't have the mushroom omlette at Greasy Fred's. Or as a "M...

I must say I watched all three: Monaco, Indy and Charlotte (actually watched the start of Charlotte, had a bath, dressed for dinner, had dinner, watched the last couple of hundred of miles)

I found Indy by far the most exciting of the three.

I like to think of myself as "Junior Geriatric" Not quite completely senile but I do get a discount at the local store/Taxis/airlines. Gone native today so not wearing a watch.

This should probably be in the joke thread but.... The guy has already been well-defined here. 80's Wall Street Yuppy driving shiny new (insert "Tool" car of choice here) has accident. Broken glass, mangled metal, blood, cops, paperwork etc. Cop approaches the guy. "Sir, we've got to get you to the ...

Still cannot get to my house.
Dog has been indoors (alone) for twenty four hours now - and that ain't gonna be pretty
Stood around in the pharmacy for about forty minutes while they refilled my BP meds

Got a phone call from a colleague about ten minutes before leaving work "Be careful going home; there is an armed standoff in your area" Cannot get to my house, cops blocking off the street, so here I am back at work. Looks like it may be a neighbour's son going off his trolley. Could go on for hour...

If you hold a mothball in your right hand and another mothball in your left hand and your hands are six inches apart, what do you have?

A very big moth!

Yes, I know but it's a slow Friday afternoon.

It's 24 degrees celsius in my office, and I have to wear a suit and a heavy lab coat all day. I think I might actually be melting. It's about MINUS 20 deg. Celsius outside my office (plus God knows what with windchill) and about a forty foot dash to the front door. By the time I've got dressed up i...

I'm having flashbacks: I think it's the strong cheese and Brabham Lobster Claws.

For pity's sake please don't tell Bernie.

Dan,
as well as being fat, balding and sweaty I also have a condo in Old Montreal - Life's not fair is it?

Dan, nearest Metro is Jean Drapeau. This is the middle one of only three stops on the yellow line. Unless you are coming from Longueuil you will likely change onto the yellow line at Berri UQAM where the orange and green lines both intersect the yellow. There is a short walk from metro to circuit bu...

Dammit, someone up there doesn't like me. A few days ago one of those little pin thingies that keep your watch strap attached to your watch let go. Last night I take off the spare watch, put it on the dresser. This morning I pick it up and the strap is broken. Where can I get a sundial?

Contrary to my screen name, I am actually an English guy, living in Canada (West Coast). I have been to Silverstone many times, and now I live in Canada figure it would be great to go to the Grand Prix here. Hi Dan, I too am a Brit in Canada (Baffin Island. Yes, really!) I have been to every Canadi...

Yes but they get a free change if they can show previous underwear was filled because of actions of another driver. Call it...I dunno, the Maldonaldo clause?

I do remember a bunsen burner incident in my first year at secondary school after being told to always leave the air duct thing open when not using it to heat stuff so we can see the flame clearer. It was layer in the same lesson that the teacher leaned over his desk to pick up some worksheets or s...

We will be staying in Milan so any info regarding traveling to and from the circuit (and pubs in-between) will be gratefully received As per my previous we gave up on the mass transit solutions - we are very eco-unfriendly! from Milan we got hotel to call taxi - this way we are fairly sure the taxi...

Niki Lauda, South Africa 1997 (I think). Had radiators punctured by debris (from Tom Pryce's accident). Lost oil pressure and coolant but just finished. Little cosmetic damage but still a sick car.

Marvin, Have been to Monza a few times but always stayed in Milan. Heard about trains from Central station but station staff seemed not to have a clue about this (I think the train may be a state secret) We did eventually track (hah!) it down but the train only takes you to Monza station and there i...

Oh and Chris Amon of whom it was said that he was so unlucky if he'd become an undertaker people would have stopped dying. Never won a Grand Prix but soooooo close.

have the sniffles, which is just a minor annoyance normally except I have a skull pounding headache. Got a lemsip in my normally-only-for-coffee cup but even still my eyes feel kind of life someone has put a vice behind them and tightened it just to the point of a dull, continuous pain. Thankfully ...

Just to play Devil's advocate...No, maybe fresh ideas are not necessary; maybe F1 should fall apart. Maybe we are already past the point of no return. Keep the DRS, the silly rules, no testing, add Bernie's lawn sprinklers and medals and whatever else he comes up with and just let him go off and pla...

What? No Marlon Brando option?
Stuff mouth with cotton wool and "Make him an offer he can't refuse"

I think the answer is a function of Ferrari's global branding; the stronger and more lodged in the publics' consciousness this is the more F1 requires their presence. I think too that this relationship is less marked the other way; Ferrari's participation in F1 has some influence on its brand but no...
