Montoya was more of a Michelin man than a Bridgestone man

He was lightning quick going down Eau Rouge. Going up the other side was a different story...... :hehe:

Dennis isn't too 'pro' at getting Championships, but he was quite pro in getting 2 decent drivers, something Whitmarsh can learn from.

Maybe Dennis should be in charge for driver management of the team, leave operational part to Whitmarsh. Come on Dennis, get us another driver who can make Lewis sweat for Gods sake.

MW isn't a car designer, McLarens problems are lack of performance.

Dont you start!

Rotund or big boned with man boobs, Mr Chubby is kinda endearing, don't you think? :twisted:

I REALLY wish I could remember, but there was this one race start where Montoya simply jumped out of his Williams and ran across the track and jumped over this Michelin advertizement like a kangaroo to get to his spare car! And he was still having his helmet on. My dad commented immediately "Best mascot Michelin ever had" I remember the laughs I got from that. :hehe:

Well hello sailor. How did I just know you'd show up on this thread :irked:

Yes he is endearining, with normal bones and no boobs. Sigh. Not seen him for a while since he went back across the pond.
:director:

Now get back on topic and talk about Martin Whitmarsh and Ron Dennis. No more bitching about Montoya.

With comments like this you should expect the mickey to be well and truly taken. :rofl:

Not sure about controlling but he certainly has a significant share holder in McLaren.

There were rumours Whitmarsh was going to resign, I guess these ones are from the same pack. :bs:

and indeed... you are (a source).

But yeah... its just rumours. However, it is of general consensus that the driver/situation at Mclaren is all fine and dandy. They have had some performance issues, but to be honest, Ferrari has looked even more... awful-er... at times.

Dont see the big fuss. Is it because Lewis went to Red Bull for some chat?? heck, who wouldnt like to be sitting in that one?! or because Dennis has been seen hanging out in the pits... so what does that make of all the other people who go hang out at tracks?? if i had a pitpass like Dennis does, i'd be there as well. Even if they made me wear those Mclaren unis

Came out fighting indeed.

It was written in Autosport. I don't think they are part of Murdoch's evil empire and I don't think they hack phones so I guess we can take Autosport as a reputable rumour mill.

Ever since the days of Prost and Senna there has always been a complete neep (with the exception of Berger) in one of the McLarens.

Was Berger really that much different from Coulthard? Both won races, but not championships.
