The 2013 Season

[mjo]

It is now.

If any of the teams think a rapping John Barnes would help ... they would get him in ... 'you can be slow or fast but you must get to the line ... they always hit you and hurt you defend and attack ... there is only one way to beat them ... get 'round the back" ...

apologies for my slight diversion into 1990 ...

It's not over till it's over, as someone very wise once said.

And don't forget, it's a game season of two halves and the second half has only just started.

 

[ZakspeedYakspeed]

and we play 90 minutes and the Germans always win ...

 

[McZiderRed]

(Apart from in 1966...)

 

[Mephistopheles]

That was so long ago McZiderRed you haven't got font small enough to do it justice....

 

[Bill Boddy]

I presume that even if Hamilton were to finish ahead of Vettel he would lose on penalties.

 

[teabagyokel]

Bill Boddy - I dunno, Hamilton scores a lot of penalties

Or at least he did in 2008...

The banning of the tyre swaps has hurt Ferrari and Force India the most. The Lotus seem to make small steps now and again

Looks like Red Bull's bitching has done the trick along with the Silverstone debacle

Way to back the team you work for and your drivers, Lauda....

Lauda?

I said, "Way to back the team you work for and your drivers!!!!"

 

[no-FIAt-please]

At least he isn't lieing to people, like Vettel saying Hamilton, Alonso and Raikkonen are still in the hunt.

He's saying what he actually thinks, more than can be said for most people in F1.

 

[Mephistopheles]

I know but Lewis has publicly stated he will fight for the championship and Lauda is publicly saying he has no chance, not very motivational is it....?

 

[Il_leone]

Really it requires a DNF and a couple of bad races from Vettel to give the others a chance to close

Apart from Monza the other circuits seems to suit the Red Bull based on past history
- his teammate keeps fluffing the start or some sort of mechanical issue who could have messed up his races but has not

the other 3 keep taking points off each other

 

[Mephistopheles]

But my point is, should Lauda be saying that? We all know the game is all but up, but I just found his comments slightly disloyal..

 

[Hamberg]

It's Lauda

 

[Mephistopheles]

That's true..

 

[McZiderRed]

What..?

 

[Bill Boddy]

Lauda is speaking louder than he should.

 

[Bushi]

Funny that Lauda first made the comments that Fernando shouldn't speak bad about Ferrari, because it can hurt the team and than he does it himself.

Or 2011..........ooh right that was because he's black.
