I had a dream, nightmare more like it that Lewis was so charged up to overtake...he started overtaking in the formation lap and accidentally buried his front nose into Massa's Ferrari.

That's a nightmare for me as well!

Surely given that the softs were lasting, LH could have put in a banker lap with used softs.

[acosmichippo]

especially since it seems like using all three sets of SS tires is unlikely. Looks like everyone is expecting a 2-stop, which means two SS stints and one soft stint. Even if some get bumped to a three-stop, a few laps of wear doesn't seem like it would make that much of a difference in the end.

once again, bad strategy seems like it will be the deciding factor.

So, uh. Is anything actually going to be his fault any more?

[acosmichippo]

sorry, i didn't know we were assigning fault. He made mistakes and the team made mistakes. Done.

Exactly right.

Just bolded this part to help put a smile on Denthul's face.

I saw it reported as Hamilton getting a penalty but is it not more a case of him just being regarded as not having set a timed lap? And he can start on whatever tyres he wants?

What strategies are we likely to see? I suspect that the race will be more "old style" than other races this year. Even with DR and KERS, I can't see passing will be easy.And with a shorter,more crowded track, early pitstops may not give an undercut for the earlier stopper. Hence it may be easier for an early leader to cover the strategy of any pursuer. So we may get drivers looking for a longish last stint with track position rather than outright speed. Is there much of a clean side/dirty side advantage for Monaco?

There is a dirty side, but, traditionally, it's less relevant to the start because it isn't that bad and because it's not far to the first turn, so, even with a slight error it's harder for the guy behind to get passed.

Still, if Nando can pull off another start like last week .... I'd be pretty happy.

Also, SC's tend to play a part in Monaco races, although you don't want accidents, it's hard to imagine no SC this race.

Have I insulted you?

I like when people like you start to hate Vettel. That means he's getting better and better. And, IMHO, fanboyism is a thing that has roots deep inside this forum. It is a normal thing.

I did tell you by personal message to kerb it, did i not? Im not a mod, it was a bit of advice, you are getting noticably worse so i told you

If i wanted to humiliate you id of done it here, but i did it in a PM, and you got even worse.


Now, i dont read every thread here but i have seen 5 people, i can name them if you want, say something about your gloating fanboyish statements now, 5 people for gods sake, and yet in your eyes everyone is wrong but you?

You ignored my good natured warning with a scoff and youve gone and got youself earmarked by a substantial amount of common posters as a fanboy, well played.

Its a very undesirable trait that you enjoy people hating your favourite driver btw, says a lot about what you wish to achieve on these forums.

[Hammer278]

Holy crap Fraffy...you sound like someone's mom.

If Vlad is enjoying Vettel's domination, well that's his call mate. If some people get annoyed by it, why is it his problem? I see other members who specifically try and rile up fans (even when they support no one in particular) which is a lot more pathetic than 'fanboyism'...its a normal thing in sport.

Vlad isn't so bad as you make him out, there's a few others who're real idiots in this forum, maybe you should send them PMs. If you'd like, I could send you a PM listing the names of these idiots who come on the forum to slate drivers as they will, and don't really make any objective reasoning whatsoever.

Its mum in Blighty

Vlad isnt enjoying Vettels domination, hes enjoying being arrogant to the rest of the forum, the one time hammer vettel didnt get pole this year vlad couldnt take it and immediately posted s*** about Hamilton, people dont much appreciate that. Some people are like that, a terrible winner and a worser loser. Like i said, 5 people, ones a mod (aka one of the more reasoned members) so its not some sort of hamilton fan conspiracy, nobody got riled up over what nish says, or big azza when hes here, just vlad.........

No hes not, and if you give it some thought youd realise the idiots arent PM's by me cause they are NEVER going to change what they're like, its a waste of time, i just think vlads pushing it, if i didnt think he could kerb it i wouldnt be bothering with him (Note im not claiming im mother fecking teresa here so im hoping nobody cries about this sudden god given mission to save vlad lol) All vlad has to to is ignore what we're saying in terms of replying and just change his attitude, if he has a problem with swallowing pride, or realising hes actually in the wrong here. Hopefully he reads this, too many Hamilton and Alonso fans on here i just dont want the biggest voice for vettel to be the forum joke.

[vlad]

I have already told you once, I will say it again:

GET A LIFE!

[LewEngBridewell]

Goodness gracious guys, let's just look at it this way. You can tell we're in a golden era of F1 because we have a selection of brilliant, brilliant racers in;

* Sebastian Vettel
* Lewis Hamilton
* Fernando Alonso
* Jenson Button
* Mark Webber

AND also great teams

* Red Bull
* McLaren
* Ferrari

They're all so great and competitive and we fans all have our favourites. The tiny gap between these drivers is small enough to bring everyone to blows. That's the sign of a great era. But we know we love all the bickering really. Great rivalries = great times
