She knows I secretly worship her...and this is just my way of convincing myself that I can resist her. It's a codependent kinda thing. :)

Thank god I don't have to agree with it, since it's completely ridiculous.

Lewis turns in on a car at the apex and it's the apex cars fault? Practice crash isn't his fault either (the team must have screwed him...because they secretly back Jenson). Seriously, even paraphrasing I would be embarrassed to type that out.

Ive deleted your complete rubbish.
A) Lewis was past
B) What practise crash? Do you mean the one causing Lewis to sit out all the practises? And still qualify 3rd behind the red bulls. :rolleyes: It wasnt a point loosing crash, he'd not have beaten the red bulls without the crash.

at the end of the day mclaren did a great job to get lewis's car repaired and he repaid them by qualifying in 3rd place...so credit to lewis and mclaren!

Scotty is on the money here. A more biased and outright silly list is impossible to imagine. Lewis turns in on a car at the apex and it's the apex cars fault? Practice crash isn't his fault either (the team must have screwed him...because they secretly back Jenson). Seriously, even paraphrasing I would be embarrassed to type that out.

News Flash! Lewis runs perfect season despite team, teammate and every other driver conspiring to make him look bad! Senna wakes from dead to ask for his autograph. Ferrari offer him 1 billion to apply his perfection to their chassis next year, but the perfect one decides to remain at McLaren despite their plot to deprive him of yet another championship with their mistakes and ill will. Jenson weeps for his master. Internet flame, Racechick, vows to have his child through immaculate conception.

I wasnt aware I had discounted qualifying errors? Thats what Alonso's Monaco one was (well pre quali but same principal). It was any error that cost points over the weekend, not just the race.


The first sentence of your big long post before seemed to imply that.

The guy who wrote the article was Edd Straw.It was a long article looking at errors generally and how theyd shaped the championship and also whether they any more frequent than other years.
You dont have to agree with it. I thought it was interesting.


It's not that i don't agree with it entirely because a lot of the points are true and valid, i was just making the point that a lot of factors have been missed.

You mean this sentence?

Jenson hasnt made any point losing errors unless you count poor quali, which isnt really an error. He went off the track in Melborne but still won.


Im saying that being poor at quali isnt an error , its just that you arent good at quali.Doing your best but not being quite good enough at something isnt an error, its how you are. Now had he crashed in quali and ended up at the back of the grid, then that would be an error and would count as a point loosing error.

Whatever it is, the way both drivers performed this year it's embarassing for Lewis to only be 3 points ahead of Jenson. The nightmare would be if he has another reliability failure in the next 3 races and Jenson takes 3 more sunday drives with no failures, Lewis faces being factually 'beaten by his teammate' for the first time in his racing career. :eek::eek:

No it wouldnt be embarrasing. How so? He's had 3 car failures and other bad luck. If he has more failures and Jens doesnt, how does that reflect badly on lewis? Its not just about statistics its about a lot more than that.

Yeah but then Lewis would cannot boast (not that he does) that he has never been beaten by his teammate.

No i know that, but i think errors were made in Hungary and Silverstone for him to be that far back, not to mention Malaysia where he could have been right up the front were it not for his spin.

I dont know what this thread is about.

Mclaren has been one of the (if not categorically THE) most reliable cars from 2007 til now. They were quite poor in 2005, improved somewhat in 2006... and from then on have had at most a handful of true reliability issues.
