Does anyone saying that "of course the dude should be arrested because he made threats" actually believe he had any intention of carrying out his threats, irrespective of whether he should of should not have made said threats? He's done nothing worse than that guy who threatened to blow up that airp...

Don't get me wrong, I'm far from advocating reporting people all over the place, only in extremes. I'd never dreamt of reporting something, before the other day. One user who persisted in expressing views that were so self evidently wrong, in such a manner, that they either were purely trying to bai...

Indeed, well done everyone so far, some haven't done as well as they'd hoped, and some have done even better than hoped. It is nice to now have a gold meddle though.

Inappropriate speed for the conditions is the problem (for "conditions" read weather, type of road, type of area, well being of driver, other road users, quality of road, condition the car is in etc). Speeding in and of itself doesn't necessarily mean you're driving dangerously, and driving at or wi...

It seems to be the car. It's quite difficult to judge how good the drivers are, just like last year, they seem to be pretty closely matched, so it's hard to tell if they're doing a good job or not. But the car does appear to be an absolute dog.

Apparently the organisers have said that the lack of time checks given to the riders and shown on TV was down to too many spectators on the course using twitter. Seems like a bit of a cop out to me. I think both the male and female riders were very unhappy about the lack of information they were be...

Wow, that was some post, thanks for the effort. Thanks for taking the time to post all that very informative and enlightning information Thank you for reading it, I know my writing style isn't the easiest to follow, it's not got a very good flow to it, so well done for enduring that! I hope you do ...

Woo hoo! Modding works a treat. Something getting you down?

holy crap, i know my posts often end up rather long, but i really out did myself there! sorry, it was needed to fully explain to those who wanted to know.

Right, this is might take a while, so firstly I'll reply to Argentum, then try to pick up all of flyboy10's points from the couple of posts that aren't covered in replying to Argentum...right this is quite long, but if you both want your various queries addressed, it'll need reading. Although the fi...

As far as I can remember, McLaren have been, in general, awful with respect to strategy calls for the past 20 years. Obviously there are various examples of them making very good calls, but in general they seem to have been pretty peaky. I've spent most of my F1 watching life sitting at home saying ...

Pretty much everyone at Speed assumed Lewis a goner when Kimi came out in front of RoGro. It wasn't like that in Germany - the comments were about the Ferrari disappearing and being faster than Button's McLaren with DRS enabled. To compare this race to Hockenheim is simply not fair. Nobody was impr...

Right, I'm going to try to explain this to you flyboy10, it may or may not work. Team Sky, who have dominated the Tour De France, and a lot of things this year, is a 9 man team, at the world championships, which Team GB won was an 8 man team, at the Olympics you're only allowed a 5 man team. For any...

Well that was a lot better than I thought it was going to be. My favourite bit was in that bit of tv right at the beginning, the bit where the camera traveled along the route of the Thames. I thought it was hilarious when it passed just after Tower Bridge, then rose up into the sky to look back down...

But its the hole in your argument. Making him #1 doesn't mean he'll win. Please show me where I said that being #1 means you always win. Actually dont, because I know I did not say that. What I said is that most often (if not always but definitely since 2000) only #1s in their teams will win the WD...

For people who have been trashing FLB coz he doesnt provide proof, you guys sure as hell are leaving no stone unturned to match him. Or is ridicule only reserved for others? :thumbdown: Come on chinki, this specific point of FLB's is ludicrous beyond belief and deserves to be treated with no respec...

They haven't, it says so in their terms. But then how many 'outranged' ticket holders actually read the terms before they applied? How many people have complained? Truth is, the media like stirring things up, and people like having a good old whinge - it's all just hot air. There we go then, that's...

hope you don't mind me adding my two cents to this! Although I''ve edited it out to save space, you may well guess that I don't mind in the slightest, I wholeheartedly agree with your two cents. Now if only FLB would acknowledge such posts, the thought through, logical ones that entirely disprove h...

Come on chinki, you said that you didn't want to do this... If you were actually paying any attention to that race, or indeed that season, you'd know that this is no indication of Rubens being a #2 driver. Except Rubens said it And Schumacher in the heat of the moment said that Coulthard tried to ki...

Some tripe I wrote. Your logic completely destroys FLB's agenda, so of course it will be ignored. Nice try though :thumbup: Tar very much, you're making a damn fine stab at it too. We'll just have to wait and see, but as I've said before, this is rather like banging your head against a brick wall. ...

The first point: duly noted. :) The second point: The spectators would rather get drunk at a darts tournament than watch the darts tournament? I don't blame them. :D I have to admit, though, that sounds like the start of a good night out! :nod: The third point: I'm sure they do as they are professi...

I hadnt read your entire post when I replied to this but when I read it in detail later, I realized that Webber's comment in 2010 did not qualify as showing any bias in the team. And that is when I decided that you are right to hold the opinions you have and I also decided to save myself some time....

toilet

I know these comments were not directed at myself, and you appear to have decided to ignore my previous posts whereby I apply a bit of logic, and even some examples, in response to your posts, but, as much as I've tried to restrain myself, I feel I must again speak up for a bit of sense with regards...

It is my bed time, so I will take this quick for now. 2005 - With Flavio there, Alonso wasnt #1? Really? 2007 - Pay the guy 50 million and not give him #1 in a team that has always believed in #1? 2008 - Lewis was clear #1. 2009 - Button was clear #1. 2010 - Vettel was clear #1. Hell Webber made th...

You might be right about the fact that drivers don't necessarily start the season as #1 drivers but may transition into that spot as the season progresses. That shows that smart constructors are fully aware of the benefits of having a #1 driver. In that case, if you acknowledge that they sometimes ...

toilet

Blinky i think sums up all that the drivers have to do quite well, and rather succinctly shows that the majority of their time isn't actually spent driving. However, everything that they do is for their driving, without the sponsors they couldn't build the cars so the drivers couldn't drive, without...

toilet

Statistically speaking since 2000 (I follow F1 since around then), when was the WDC last won without #1 status? The answer is zero. And that is why even the best driver out there needs a #1 status in his team coz being #1 in a team has massive advantages which cannot be ignored. Erm... Schumacher r...

toilet

Surely the main problem with any such device fitted to the cars is that any data they generate would instantly be out of date, seeing as the car would be telling the driver how deep the water is on the bit of track he's just gone passed. Obviously teams can tell drivers that it's started raining on ...

There's a European championship for Darts, for Christ's sake. How entertaining is it to watch someone throw darts? While your post in general was entirely correct, I have to take issue with the above quoted bit, on 2 counts. Firstly, there are actually 2 professional darts associations and their as...

Please people, if you're having trouble getting FLB to acknowledge any sort of logical reasoning, or any facts that disprove any of their numerous erroneous statements, don't get your knickers in a twist.

All contracts with consumers have to be fair - it's the law. I've not read all the post or anything, but just one particular point about the relevance of the above quoted as a retort.

From an f1 snob I must admit that NASCAR takes a bit to get your head around. Initially it's clear that racing such heavy, basic cars at over 200mph in packs of 30 odd, literally pushing each other (on the tracks that allow such racing) is highly skilled. But what you have to accept is that at most...

Given the noises Dovi's been making recently about quitting MotoGP if Yamaha don't stick him on a factory bike, I'd assume he won't replace Spies. Given HRC's boss saying he'd have a satellite works team for Rossi just to have him back, could we see the following? Rossi at Gresini Crutchlow at Duca...

It's a shame, I like Spies, and last year he looked good enough to mix it at the top, but this year he's be relatively woeful. I'd not be surprised if we eventually find out that he's had some underlying problem. As to where he'll go next, I'd guess he'll want to stay in MotoGp as as they change tow...

Oh and those talking about the likes of Mansel and Villeneuve crossing over, back then F1 cars and Indycar/Cart were much more akin to F1 cars. F1 has moved on somewhat since, whereas Indycar became a 1 make series, the cars relatively stagnated helping to reduce costs. Each are very different beast...
