Those who were posting that it is outrageous that Susie Wolffe is being given track time. I don't think that includes you.

But what is all that point in bringing in the possible atrocities against women in this world and linking those with a silly sticker on a helmet? Or even these grid girls? They don't look to me to be suffering exactly. If they do, then they should not apply for the job. And if it is sexism, then it...

Chester

The bit in bold intrigues me though, I'd have said completely the opposite. They don't look dumb to me they just look attractive (well, most of them). You are the one making presumptions, why would a girl be dumb just because she is wearing a short dress and high heels? I don't judge them on that. ...

Chester

One might even go so far as to say it is sexist to include her. If she hasn't shown trhe ability up to now then she is being included purely on the basis of her gender. I guess the proof is in the pudding, if she does good times then she has proved her place there, like any of the other drivers. If...

4. She then goes on a short rant about women being raped in the Middle East, executed for being raped. For a start, this is only in very extreme Islamic countries like Saudi Arabia. As far as I'm aware women aren't executed for being raped even there. I can't imagine where you've been hiding then. ...

I used to like him, but the Scientology bit has ruined it a bit for me. I have a difficult time separating Tom Cruise the actor from Tom Cruise the control freak voice of Scientology. Good thing Katie & Suri "escaped" And Nicole. He is incredibly arrogant. The terms and conditions that precede him ...

Chester

Hundreds!!! Some mistake surely. Are there really THAT many drivers with ambitions to break into F1? I would have thought it was perfectly valid for Williams to use one of their development drivers in these tests. http://www.pitpass.com/49515-Time-for-Formula-1-to-change-its-sexist-ways That articl...

Why edit out all smilies from my post when replying to it? Because I think they are way overused. My text editor strips them out. I'm sure it is a coincidence when you keep quoting articles from the same source, same author. There's nothing wrong with it, i just mentioned that it was a little funny...

Chester

As a female, I have to say I don't believe F1 'needs' women drivers at all. It needs the best drivers regardless of gender, or as close to that as is possible in the current economic climate. The fact that no women currently fits that criteria does not equal sexism, and as others have pointed out -...

Chester

I imagine that the real agenda of certain posters in this thread is that they feel the whole thing smacks somewhat primarily of a publicity stunt. In that sense, Wolff is no different to the several pay drivers we've had in recent years being scrutinised for exactly the same reason, which is do the...

Chester

Yes, it is up to Williams to decide who drives for them... However, with testing so severely restricted, good feedback even over "one day" would count a lot. Susie hasn't exactly covered herself in glory in whatever category she raced, and this is why a lot are questioning the judgment of Williams ...

Chester

Unfortunately, I am not looking for your opinion or approval. Not unfortunate. You gave your opinion and I gave mine. Simple. I think actually that it's way past time that F1 had a bit of a clean up. I know a mechanic who used to work for one of the major teams, and he's said many times that F1 is ...

You're following the wrong sport then.

If you're interested in girls as sex objects, there are lots of other sites you could be looking at - lol

Chester

The Pit Babes thread I definitely wouldn't miss.

In fact it would be nice to see the back of them on the grid as well. They only distract and get in the way. In fact I'd like to see all the token females in F1 disappear. What useful purpose do they serve apart from a bit of PC?

Chester

Or Red Bull.

I heard it on a Podcast today.

Chester

I listen to: Pit pass ESPN f1 James Allen on f1 Of the lot i find espn most interesting followed by pitpass and only James when he has a panel of people on, otherwise an episode is usually just a bunch of mini interviews lined up one after the other The last couple of Pitpass ones have been more in...

Maybe she was only a trendy appointment. I thought that when she was announced as the new team principle, and nothing that has happened since makes it look like a good one.

Have a read of this latest article. (if you are still interested in the results of tyregate) It is rather interesting and I have seen it acclaimed already on twitter by someone from F1 who should know. http://www.pitpass.com/49360-Learning-From-The-International-Tribunal It is very relevant to this...

Unfortunately for you then, you don't understand the genius that Mr. Hawking is... As bright as you think some posters here, they're not even a close run thing, as far as i'm concerned when it comes to Mr. Hawking. It just so happens that I almost certainly know a lot more about Stephen Hawking tha...

Chester

Also, while i have had some informed discussions with Jo, i wouldn't compare her with someone like Stephen Hawking, as it would be a great disservice to that man, wouldn't you think? On the contrary. I suspect that someone like Stephen Hawking, if he was interested in F1, would be proud to be assoc...

Chester

Blimey! This forum sure ain't what I thought it was.

You just don't get it do you.

It's like seeing someone tell Stephen Hawking he doesn't know what a singularity is, and then asking him what his qualifications are.

Chester

by the by, you forgot to mention for his/her benefit that no one likes being insulted as well... and over several pages, people have been told how they're not qualified, or are myopic etc., etc., which doesn't exactly foment proper discussions... amongst a whole load of other things. Have it your w...

Chester

Jo... I enjoyed your informative posts where you clearly did your homework, and you already indicated what your background is, I echo that wholeheartedly. I've seen this happen on other forums, and it's a really bad day when someone of this stature feels compelled to write in such terms. A really b...

One can only be judged on all their actions not just one in particular. I have found him distasteful since Turkey 2010, and since then the many small insights to his character have reinforced this belief. He may be a 3 time WDC but in my eyes he's a silver spoon fed spoilt brat with little regard f...

Chester

I think every top driver of his generation needs to be ruthless. No they don't. There's a line to draw which the cheats in life don't do. I didn't see either Hamilton or Button taking each other out or cheating, even though they had a few clashes. With Vettel, if you're alongside of him and he's a ...

Chester

I am just expressing an opinion that's all. And please note that I have changed the wording to be a bit less inflammatory after another poster pointed it out to me. That opinion derives from things he's done in public, like the examples already mentioned. I think people who put themselves in the pu...

Chester

He's the sort of guy who cheats on his girlfriend too whenever he gets the opportunity. I doubt even Schumacher did that. No Schumacher only married his friends girlfriend ;) Exactly! I don't think he was inclined to stray though, but it's common knowledge that others do. He's the sort of guy who c...

Chester

What a lot of bull. Do you even know the guy? How can you claim such things? By all account from everyone that knows them, Vettel, Schumacher and Senna are/were great people out of the track. Plenty of accounts about them. On the track they had their game face on. In fact, most of the drivers are g...

Chester

Thats without doubt the funniest opinion on Vettel I have ever read. How ridiculous to suggest such a thing about someone you don't know. How long do we reckon before it turns into a 'fact' thrown around by posters? Well maybe looking at it so starkly it is a bit strong, and I'll change it in due c...

Chester

The Multi 21-incident was very unsporting, you can't forget it's a teamsport and Vettel refused to do as the team said. It would be the least he could do after what the team has done for him and how many times Mark has had to put up with helping Vettel. Webbers engine was turned down too and there ...

Don't worry, there's plenty of that goes on behind the scenes. It's just that you don't get to hear about it.

Chester

The whole "grid girls" thing is a real pet peeve of mine. Just feels really outdated and there is no real need for it at all. This. Although it's a bit more than a peeve for me, I get actively angry about it. Physical attractiveness is irrelevant in a sport, be it the participants or non-participan...

Chester

One of the things I have noticed also is that Jo_ does not get due recognition on this forum for her clever insight into the legal technicalities of what goes on in F1, and willingness to share it with the rest of us. The way some of her posts have been denigrated is simply appalling, and I think i...

Chester

Mercedes is a participant... Pirelli is a supplier. Here, a competitor was being given a clear advantage by the supplier, in the case of a team that has folded (essentially, not competing), nobody else is being disadvantaged. Two different scenarios is what i was saying. So no, it is not questionab...

The pictures are very interesting and as far as buying what wheatly says is the cause. sorry but i'm skeptical. The fact that red bull can bomb away from the slow corners without hardly a hint of tire spin is very, very interesting. Does the fia have the expertise to investigate this, hmmm i wonder...

Keep them as Ex's. They can come back and try and destroy your marriage. I went on a school reunion last year. I had a particular ex there who offered herself on a plate. Flattering as it maybe, she was dangerous 30 years ago and still dangerous now. Although my brains are planted firmly in my ball...

Chester

I see nothing wrong with expressing yourself whatever way you want. Cross dressing (amongst other things) is still frowned upon by traditional society though. No matter how liberal people's views are, a lot of people will still perceive this to be 'odd'. We have a tendency to rationalise phenomena ...

Chester

Well i'm getting there and you do have a point, I think the fact that I haven't been with anyone since hasn't helped, though not for a lack of trying it has to be said. You're not alone. Been there doing that! The thing to remember is that women don't have the same requirements that men do, althoug...

It depends on the circumstances. After breaking up with my husband of many years, I wanted him to *inaudible* off and leave me alone after letting me down so badly - he, on the other hand, wanted me to remain close and be his friend :uhoh: . Did he, does he, interfere with any new relationships you...
