Hes not solely to blame put hes got most of his fingers in most of the ruined pies. Some of us would have a greater business accumen then to keep on charging so much for personal wealth alone, F1 is lets face it getting nearer and nearer to folding, the small teams arent going anywhere cause sponsors just wont back them, even though any publicity is good publicity, the big teams just want to spend spend spend, its good in the way that it gets money circulating, but only three or four teams have that luxury and its slightly unfair. I hate the way those with money are so willing to sponsor shitty tv programmes for old grannies but wouldnt touch an F1 team anymore, or handing out loans and creating nice recessions for us all, which has its knock on effect for fans that cant afford to pay for coverage (in 2012) or attend races, or teams to evolve.

Then you have European races dropping out over funding, and Asian races popping up for a year or two then dropping out, its only so long before all possible grand prix countries have been and gone and hes left with no takers, only the miserable bar steward will be long dead before then.

I hope whoever succeeds him is a bit more human about it. I also blame the etams for being so technically racist when choosing drivers, if you aint european or brazilian your not interesting, oh you have dollar, oh come right in then.

Theres a bloody great Japense talent that has shown EVERYTHING Kimi did for sauber, or Alonso for Minardi, or Vettel for Toro Rosso, and nobody seems the slightest bit interested cause hes Japanese, not european for starters or latin, or with a massive paycheck behind him, toyota honda and co better get sharp soonish or im never buying their products again, get him some damn funding so the big teams take interest.
MAN ALIVE have i gone off topic :D:hehe::rofl:

:rofl::rofl: Yes you've gone off topic :rolleyes: AGEN :hehe: I do agree with some of what you say though. Bernie is a greedy git and bestows obscene wealth on his daughters. Yes much money goes to CVC, who paid WELL over the odds to guess who, Yep Mr.E.
On Kobi..I think he will get a drive, I dont think teams are actually bothered about nationality, theyre bothered about one of two things...can you drive the wheels of a car....or can you bring money to a team. Well Kobi can drive.

So can Hülkenberg...
#280446
Yes, but isnt he German?

EDIT Oh my god. Just seen how that looked. What I meant was. isnt he already from a nationality that does well at F1...Schumacher and Vetel. Like Brits and Brazilians? just digging a hole here arent I?

Christ, youd think they desperately needed it!

Its amazing how many things have fallen into red bulls hands this year, obviously not webber so much, but in vettels point lead, just astounding.

vettel pole for this race i reckon.

Some of the teams caught grief because word leaked out they intended bringing their own food to Japan and not risk eating possibly irradiated local stuff. I wonder if they'll say the same about India? It would be unwise, IMHO, for the teams to let any of the key players eat or drink ANYTHING procured locally until after the race.
#280724
Err...India has no problems with their food. I think its the water which is unclean.

The reason why many have the 'runs' when going there is due to the amount of spice in the food....which normal human beings can't handle. :hehe:

But if you can handle the food there, they have the best dishes in the world. Just buy bottled water which is sealed and you should be fine.
#280729
to be honest, I'm surprised teams don't bring their own food and catering team to EVERY race. With stakes so high, there's no reason to risk eating food out of your control no matter where you are.
#280730
Part of the travelling is to try out the local cuisine. Imagine eating Austrian delicacies throughout the season, it would not be quite so hot working for an F1 team. :P
#280733
Give me a stein and Schnitzel any day Hammer :wink:

I'm pretty sure every big team brings their own caterers, McLaren have their brand Absolut Taste who prepare everything from the drivers to VIP guests.
I think the food they prepare is a mix of brought and local produce.
