So RD said Kuica's got a big nose-is that it? Well so what-he has. Do you think Robert gives a toss? I adress you to Nikki Lauda's comment when his looks were commented on after his accident "Im a racing driver, not a male model."

Alain Prost has a big nose too and Piquet Senior used to keep teasing him about it.

[madbrad]

Looks like we all agree about the pitlane rule. So does MB, and JA too. SO unfair! SO you obey this rule and you run out of gas. What are they thinking?

I wanted to see a replay of exactly what took RB's front wing off. I assume an errant air hose? But it looks like no camera ever caught it.

I quoted the wrong parts in my response - it's now fixed and rivelution's quote explains what RD said.
I think this arsehole should simply disappear together with MM.

DD you take every opportunity to have a go at Ron Dennis because you dont like him. One minute he is boring and passionless and the next he is being politically inncorrect Make your mind up. Ive heard infinitely worse in the pitlane than "you have a big nose".
If your friend takes offence at that and thinks F1 is civilised perhaps you should enlighten him to the antics of the head of the FIA who likes Nazzi orgies and being whipped by hookers. "big nose" is playground talk compared to that.

Well, everybody on Speed TV thought it was a mean thing to say. And yes, as much as you whip MM's arse for his short comings, as much I will RD's. He's a disgrace with no social skills to speak of. Remember his idiotic comment about HK??!!

[McLaren Fan]

I haven't seen or read the interview in question, but it seems that - once again - Ron Dennis has said something stupid. What is the man doing? He never used to act like this. If somebody else at McLaren made a comment such as that, they'd be quickly reprimanded.

There is no comparison with saying someone has a big nose and what Max did. He is not a disgrace i like him and think he should stay around for ages. He's good for McLaren but better still he annoys you

ps Have you got a big nose

[Denthúl]

What Ron said is nowhere near as bad as what Max did, but he still should not have done it. It was a cruel comment and very unprofessional.

I doubt it was intended as cruel and I certainly doubt Robert took it that way. For goodness sake!!! This sport is getting bad enough without everyone having to watch everyword they speak!

It's true, there's no comparison between MM's indiscretions and what RD said. However, for different reasons than you imply. It's outrageous to make a personally offending statement in public like RD did. MM's pathological fantasies were not to be broadcast to the public - they're still wrong and now that they're out in the public domain, MM's toast for them. But for RD to go on record with a showing of such poor taste is a disgrace for a team principal. He is a liability for McLaren and he's bad for F1, especially in a politically correct country like the US where F1 has been struggling to make inroads in the fan base. MM's umpalumpa scenes where not broadcast on TV in the US, but RD's gaffes are
And your liking him despite these flaws is testimony for your own poor judgment or just utter hypocrisy considering your enthusiasm with which you condemn MM.

I agree with all of that. What Ron Dennis said, regardless of how serious it was, was very unprofessional and this is the not the first time in the last few months that he has opened his mouth and come out with some cringeworthy remarks. I'm a big fan of Ron Dennis, but this series of unprofessional gaffs is seriously making me wonder whether he is losing his touch. Please Ron, can we get back to the days of responsible "Ron-speak"?

You read my mind

[texasmr2]

I'm just glad Heikki is alright, I love my finns Well minus Kimi, have respect for the guy but he turned RED.

Talk about praising/supporting someone while you hold a dagger at their back!

[f1ea]

Very boring race. The only true moment was the start and the stupid stop-go penalty lottery during Heikki's safety car... too bad it ended up being Heidfeld.

Hamilton at the start that was gutsey and completely strategic!
Massa had a really good start and race too, i thought he was heavier than Kimi, but Kimi showed his dominance. Still Lewis and Jarno looked (since Q) to be battling their car instead of driving it. Regardless, Lewis had a solid race and kept his head vs Alonso. Lesson learned, or lucky with the SC?? ... barely locked his tyres every once in a while, so there's some progress

Poor Piquet / Renault... getting their best looking race so far by one of the Toro Rosso missiles and reliability. By the way... before the race I thought Alonso was actually running lighter. At least they go away knowing they are in the fight.

[Fact Man]

I totally agree with you regarding Lewis. It seemed like he was having problems controling his car.

Im not a hypocrite. Look at yourself before you accuse me of that. MM is a liar, he is corrupt and is out only for his own gains. Ron is not like that there is no comparison. If Jean Todt had said that you'd think it funny (but he couldnt could he cos he's ugly as sin!). F1 has been struggling in the US because MM made a mockery of that Indionaplis race. Ask the fans in US what turns them off F1- having a race completely ruined or Ron saying someone has a big nose. The damage in teh US is already done by MM so dont try to lay ehat one at Ron's door. MM's orgy is on the internet so of course everyone with F1 knowledge in America has seen it.Stop being so pompous

Darwin how can you talk so much crap about this? Cubehead ring a bell??

we all must lower our opinion of you as a PHD now
