He just doesn't look right in the Mclaren outfit! He just cheapens the whole aura of it all.

I dont blame him, whitmarsh is using him for some cheap shots in that vid.

To use my phone in the car I deleted all my German contacts, it's now Hans free.

that's the bit when Whitmarsh hugged him.
But Checo, good luck to the young lad. He'll have to do lots of PR stuff. I think McLaren do more than any other team...PR days. We're used to seeing Lewis in those McLaren clothes, pulling up to the MTC, so it's strange to see Checo doing it, but I can't agree he cheapens anything. That test will come when he gets in the McLaren in anger, not just through a publicity video.

It's a publicity PR thing. So what? All teams do these, especially with their latest driver signing.

Who's '<- EDITED FOR CONTENT ->"? I thought we were not allowed to use derogatory names of F1 drivers (I guess this extends to other F1 type people) and this is clearly going to annoy the hardcore McLaren fans. I've got a few derogatory names I'd like to use - can I?

This place ain't what it used to be. Such disrespect of one of the most illustrious and successful F1 teams ever. Cue usual flaming in 3, 2, 1.......

When the guy has a name, whats the reason for calling him another? Is it complimentary?

I call drivers 'pet' names myself but I'm not thick headed enough to lecture others on how to post. You're no mod, so quit telling others how they should post you sad wannabe.

It isn't derogatroy where I come from. More of a colloquialism. Certainly not insulting.

Where have I told anyone what do? Nowhere, that's where! I merely posted my opinion on the constant anti-McLaren/Whitmarsh rhetoric that is infesting this once great forum.

No doubt you'll need the last word now. Happy trails.

God damn it you guys are testing my patience with your constant carry on. Get a bloody grip.

Rising number one of Formula 1, Juan - Juan, one wonders should Juan only win one Formula 1 one year, would Juan have won that one in round one, Juan??

here here. I'm getting sick and tired of this and I'm usually pretty patient. We're not mods because we're on some sort of power trip and we're not mods to promote our own views. We try very hard to be fair. We're damned if we do and we're damned if we don't as the last two days have shown. We do our best with the best intentions in mind. If you really aren't happy, there's always a door!

So... Perez at McLaren. I think he looks pretty bloody smart in his McLaren outfit, and I have my fingers crossed it'll be a fruitful partnership.

Oh really?

:yuck: that's the bit when Whitmarsh hugged him.

This wasn't needed.

i will watch the video when I get home, but how a certain indiviual can "cheapen" the look of something sounds very f'ing close to a racist comment.

Sergio is a fan-fing-tastic driver, and I as a mclaren fan could not have hoped for a better replacement aside from the vets and semi vets (vettel, massa, zo, rosberg).

The F1 paddick refers to him as Checo, it's his nickname, obviously he doesn't mind so why should we!

Checo's fine, that wasn't the name that was used. The name used was derogatory.
