Ponty

lol

You don't even want to go there with me, tbh mate. Ron Dennis' quote at China, "We weren't racing Kimi, we were basically racing Fernando," says it all. There really is no point in me entering a debate about last season as views are so polar.

Windsor Davies.

Rest of the forum in "Knock Ponty for not thinking Lewis is Senna reincarnated." shocker. Sorry, but he isn't. He's very good and he has the potential to be great. If he makes WDC this year it won't be because he's pasted the rest of the field though, it'll be because his main competitors have tried even harder to **** up than he has. IMO he hasn't got a worthy opponent in equal machinery out there. Massa is as prone to brainfade as Hammy and Kimi seems to be on another planet at the moment. Kovi is only 3 points ahead of Alonso ffs, who's won the same amount of GPs as Kimi! No one seems to have taken the Championship by the scruff of the neck and made it their own. In 2006 Alonso had as many points after 9 races as Hamilton has after 16 this year, and Schumacher was racing that year. If we'd given Alonso a good car from the off this year or if Schumacher was still in a Ferrari, Hamilton, on current form, would not even be in contention. Call me what you will but those opinions are pretty solid based on EVERYONE's performances this year. If the Championship was only 6 races old now Alonso would be leading the WDC by 12 points. That's just not right cos our car is not that good at all. It's not about hating Hamilton, it's about seeing his performances from a professional viewpoint. It's clear he has talent but it's also clear that he is prone to race destroying moments of madness. He needs to eradicate those and only then can he start believing his own hype.

I'm serious. After all, it's endorsed by Tiger Woods. You can't get much better than him.

Yeah, he's been here before.

I've really answered as well as I can re. the banning. He was banned for spamming users the link to his website via PM. I know the PMs are fact as we had complaints as the PMs were unsolicited. That said, you're welcome to PM me if anything is unclear.

I love the F1 and I love Top Gear but I just hope the BBC don't have the stupid notion that combining the two in any way or form is a good idea!

Ah come on, Lewis makes his own mistakes. It's entirely his own fault that he wasn't collecting a podium place today. He needs to play the percentages and not get reckless just because he gets a bad start like today. He seems to have a bit of trouble keeping his head on the race track. He threw it away last year and he's going out of his way to do the same this. That said, Massa is trying to help him out as much as possible. Regardless, Lewis is in a win-win situation anyway as far as many Brits are concerned. if he loses, it's because of the FIA cheats and if he wins it's because he's "the most awesome driver since Ayrton Senna" (trademark James Allen). Turn 1 today proves he's not that awesome at all.

Having just watched the replay, Bourdais definitely shouldn't have been penalised IMO. Very harsh.

Well, I've just looked at the log and it appears he was spamming users by PM. That's a big no-no.

Oh, no idea. I haven't been online since Friday.

I've just been asked by the FBI for your IP address. Don't worry, I made one up.

Well, I'm a little confused but I thought I'd got away with it. Being serious though, it doesn't bother me at all who uses what other sites. If they didn't like this one they wouldn't be here complaining about it, they'd just stop using it.

Practice on a Wii.

No one ever incurs my wrath. Just for the record.

I'm not 100% sure but I think I was that guest, which makes me responsible for an infinite rise in his site traffic.

In total there is 1 user online :: 0 Registered, 0 Hidden and 1 Guest Most users ever online was 13 on Sun 07 Sep 2008, 5:32 pm You may or may not have a point.

Show some respect Robsk, it's "Scotch".

I loathe it and contribute the square root of **** all towards the upkeep of the garden.

ITV always promised picture-in-picture during the ad breaks but when push came to shove the advertisers buying the slots called the shots there.

The only caveat is that BBC coverage, pre ITV, was awful despite having no adverts. They'd often bump the race to BBC2 if other 'lesser' sports (snooker, golf and even darts) were on at the same time. I even remember them cutting away from a race to watch a couple of overs in the cricket one Sunday years back. I'm sure that they'll cover more now but ITV actually provide an excellent service, with multiple opportunities to watch the race and/or highlights, plus a brilliant website which streams FP1 and FP2 on a Friday amongst other things. It's really only James "I've convinced my wife to change her name to Lewis" Allen and the adverts that let ITV down. Take note BBC.

Ok guys 1st point, yes BTF, I was racing. It's a team sport after all. Hence, Renault F1 Team. 2nd point, Hamilton was wild beyond belief today and his penalty was just. 3rd point, Massa utterly deserved his penalty too. 4th point, Bourdais has a responsibility to exit pit-lane without interfering with the racing line if other drivers are alongside. That said, I wouldn't have called it that way myself in this instance. I think SB was quite hard done by. StL, thanks for the congrats. It's turning into a great end to a pretty dismal couple of seasons.
