lol in the beginning of this thread, it was pointed out to you that there is an F1 thread in CFOT, and you denied knowing it existed, which you used as an excuse for starting one here. yet, you had posted in the CFOT thread many many times.

So, in conclusion, you playing dumb about it, makes me laugh.

I may have posted a time or 2 there, but I don't really recall more than that.
yet, you had posted in the CFOT thread many many times.
Please provide links to these "many many times."

"playing dumb about it" and "an excuse for starting one here"...huh?
What's with the attitude, pal?
Is that the voices in your head or the alcohol talking?
I was warned about you, but geez guy...get a grip.

hahaha, ok, sure, whatever you say hahaha

a time or 2? how about 289 times and you're the #4 poster in that thread lol And no, not voices, just simple short and long term memory.

Get a grip? I have firm grip, it appears that you might have a memory problem

Ohhhhh...THAT thread.
I thought you were referring to a thread with a serious F1 discussion, NOT the one filled with dumbassery that I quit posting to in April.

you crack me up

I'm sorry that we didn't live up to your expectations and bow down to your need for 24x7 seriousness in an F1 thread.... wait... no I'm not, I'm actually glad you're gone lol

Have a good weekend.

(oh, and Louise is only good because of the car )

I have no clue why he wanted to troll me.
I dunno...maybe he was a little lonely this weekend and needed some attention.

Yes, it was necessary.


Nope not lonely, just entertained.

Troll you? You asked for proof/links, so I gave them to you. If you didn't want them why did you ask for them?

By the way, the word is that Alonso still hasn't made up his mind about next season. What do you think? F1? Indy Car? Somewhere in WEC?

Alonso would stay in F1 in a heartbeat, maybe even with McLaren, if the car was more competitive. With Renault coming on board, that chance may keep him there.

His run at the Indy 500 was a good one, good PR, he seems to have enjoyed the experience, and fairly competitive. Running the shorter season might appeal to him, as well as there not being conflicts with LeMans.

WEC, I have no idea about, although as a very casual follower I've heard that the series is beginning to run into rough seas.

Have a good one,
Mike

Agreed, F1 is his first priority if they can get the car competitive. It's getting late in his career and his frustrations are evident every race. My concern is that mating those new Renault PUs to the McLaren chassis and having it be competitive is a crap shoot. I still can't believe that RB is going to become a Honda customer

Haas actually did reject Ferrari's young drivers for next year:

I wonder if the "no thanks" by the Haas guys means they ship the engines and parts via free Super Saver Shipping instead of Prime.

LOL, yeah you may be right.


I am a little surprised Haas passed on Leclerc.
From all of the reports I have read/heard say he is destined for good things.
OTOH, once Haas "trained" him and he became good, Ferrari would move him on.
How would that be beneficial to America's team?
Every single point is vital to Haas even staying in the sport.
They're a business, not a school.

I thought the same thing. I wonder how Ferrari's management ego takes to being told "no"?

Getting excited about heading to COTA this Thursday! Three days of walking, waiting, sun, rain, racing, waiting, sun, race, walking, etc.!!!

Have a good one,
Mike

Probably not well.

Looks like Leclerc and the other Ferrari kid will end up at Sauber.
I read instead of Haas becoming Ferrari's "B" team it will be Sauber.
Perhaps Ferrari will buy the team and change the name to Alfa Romeo?
Sergio M. wants to see the AR name back in F1.

Ha!
That's exactly my memory of COTA when I went there in 2013...that and the frickin' humidity.
We Western Boys are not accustomed to that at all.

Remember Mike...we're counting on you to be CF's COTA Correspondent on the ground!

Speaking of Leclerc...
He just had his 20th B-day.
Ferrari lent him this beauty for a few days to celebrate:

Hey Mike,

I've got GA tickets and bringing my own chairs. Should I bring them with me every day? Or should I leave them behind for any specific day? 1st time going...don't want to lug them around if I don't have to.
