Re: Rossi has revealed that he decline Manor drive this year

I think it's highly likely that remaining in IndyCar for the rest of this season will come out ahead for him, since he seems to be having a pretty good debut season there -- and the best he would be able to do at Manor would be to potentially match or outstrip his teammate over half a season, and th...

Re: The funniest current driver?

I firmly believe that with perhaps very rare exceptions, everybody has a sense of humour, but whether or not other people appreciate it is a matter of preference.
