[What's Burning?]

Good write up on Scarb's regarding the McLaren adjustable rear brake duct used to fine tune rear tire temps.

Anyway, onto the twisty question - I thought everyone was raving about Lotus being on top in Monaco?

[scotty]

Lotus are supposed to have good traction with their car which should help them. I wouldn't dare say they're the outright favourites or whatever though - think that's still McLaren.

[What's Burning?]

That's the exciting thing about this year... we really have no clue! I'd even cheer a Kimi 1 Lewis 2 finish.

They should have Johnny Herbet all the time. Mansell, doesnt like Lewis, Poor judgemet and low IQ. AAARRRGGGHHH!!!

you'd think F1 revolves around Lewis...

Oh but it's not just F1. It's the entire known Universe. Sir Stephen Hawkin has just mentioned itin his new book.

Maybe Mansell is in cahoots with Whitmarsh...

Oh calm down. I'm just enjoying this banter between you and Bud. No harm meant.

[The Second Coming]

What exactly is the nature of the beef Mansell has with Lewis? Is it because Lewis doesn't show overwhelming man-love for British ex-F1 drivers during their gardening years? Does Mansell want Lewis to stop gushing about Senna being his idol and instead say it's 'Ol Nige? What? What's the problem? Anyone?

I'm just saying...

[scotty]

Seems Mansell doesn't like Hamilton's attitude, combined with the fact that Mansell appears to resent how Hamilton got a massive opportunity put on his plate at a young age, whereas Mansell had to bust his bottom to get the same opportunity. Which is pretty crappy on Mansell's part really. Although to think that it's all conspiracy part 2 where Mansell is out to get Hamilton via stewarding is, frankly, so god damn laughable it's embarassing. Of course an additional part of this is just the usual behaviour of extreme Hamilton fans having a go at anything that doesn't fit with them, which only exacerbates the problem.

Your post started quite well Scotty, then disintingrated into rubbish. No conspiracy TeamMaclarenF1 pretty much what Scotty said in the first part of his post.

Mansell obviously has an issue with Hamilton which doesnt bode well for fair adudication in a 50/50 situation.

[scotty]

Haha thanks for the laughable 'feedback'! I calls it like i sees it.

From the first link:

"To say that overtaking is impossible at Monaco, well... I've done it coming out of the tunnel several times..."

[sarcasm]Nigel being as humble as usual.[/sarcasm]

"Both Lewis and Jenson were both great world champions at the time and it's absolutely fantastic to have them both in the same team but Jenson, for me, carries with him just that little bit more maturity."

I think both Jenson and Lewis would agree that they don't care about being directly compared to one another.
"So Jenson, how do you feel about Nigel Mansell labelling you as the more mature driver between you and your team mate Lewis?"
"I couldn't care less."
"So Lewis, how do you feel about Nigel Mansell labelling you as the less mature driver between you and your team mate Jenson?"
"I couldn't care less."
Is how I think it'd go down.

Your second link just contains general criticisms (in my opinion) and the third link is a dead one.

[racechick]

You're right , sorry, the third link has gone. But there are loads more out there.

What...are we back in prep school again? Mansell really needs to bugger off. He's in no position to talk about driver behavior. He was regularly in face-to-face squirmishes, fists at the ready, with drivers from his era. So to say Lewis isn't mature in his early twenties is downright dumb. Nige was misbehaving in his thirties and forties. What does that say about him? Oy!

Theyve just red flagged the first practice session, engine problem for Heiki and lots of smoke. As the big red light was showing, right next to it I saw a Marshall waving a green flag
