The F1 Thread 2008 Season

Yeah Hamilton looked smooth.

Ferrari maybe fast but if your car breaks down every 20 laps, it doesn't really matter. The Italians have taken over in all departments and the car is getting more shit every season.

Barrichello got disqualfied so Kimi pick up a point.

Bad day to be a Ferrari fan.

I'd say Kimi's the one that's really going to suffer from loss of traction control. In all this time he still hasn't learned when to stop pushing his car.

I have to agree with that he made 2 big mistakes today he was lucky not to be out the race then. I think he might lose a few points at the beginning of the season to get used to traction control. That’s why I think every point he gets at the beginning of the season like today is crucial.

Tell you what, we've been cheated in recent years with this driver aids nonsense, who knew what a difference this would make striping them away. Half of them can't even drive the car straight! Cracking entertainment, perhaps even the precessional grand prixs of Hungary and Barca will be exciting this year now

Superb Lewis

I've been saying it for years, they have sanitised the sport by making it safer and easier for the drivers to get round the track in one piece. This is the best move they have made in years and will make things far more interesting for us as spectators, all they need to do now is bring back proper slicks and we are getting our great sport back to something like how it was in it's hey day.

Meh, those 2 mistakes weren't a consequence of lack of traction controle? Just braked much too late on the first one and hit the grass on the other one. Those things happened last year too. Kimi just pushed too hard.

Massa on the other hand didn't control his throttle in the first corner and went straight off, which is typical for a non- traction controlled car.

I agree completely.

Interesting stat:

1978 - Nelson Piquet Sr. in his first GP:
Qualifies 21st and retires from the race on lap 31.

2008 - Nelson Piquet Jr. in his first GP:
Qualifies 21st and retires from the race on lap 31

How about that for a coincidence?

Nice to see a person who actually understands what he is watching.

CrazyBelgian · 16th March 2008, 16:47

Do I sense some sarcasm?

Care to elaborate?

I think that was a compliment mate.

It's sometimes hard to know on the internet

Thanks if it was a compliment.

Massa was avoiding the car infront.. can't remember who it was though.

Thanks

I write for a Belgian Formula 1 website, so that might explain it.

@ Addict

Massa in the first corner? He turned to hard and hit the throttle, hence spinning the tyres and going out. I just knew he would crash his car in the first race.

Have you actually got a point?

Can't believe you actually searched for that quote as it is, you must have gone back some distance to find that one.

Even more irrelevant, that in referance to what he was saying in this thread, he was spot on, which just makes you look even sillier really.

No win situation for you lad.

I just viewed his profile and searched his threads and it was on the first page. Hardly going back some distance.

Why do it in the first place?

You look like a tit now.

as I said, the thread might have had a purpose back then..probably related to another thread or something. Difficult to say, it is afterall three years ago. Do some more digging and you might find other interesting quotes as well I assume - had some interesting discussions with Davo back in the days..think it was 2002 or 2003.

I don't actually know why, I just did.

ZIDANE · 16th March 2008, 17:49

You can blame the traction control or stuff a fair bit but I've just watched the race and how many random mistakes were there, from both teams and drivers...

Great viewing like.
