AKR is a mate

Thank you Bud. Hvala/Grazie Friend.

[texasmr2]

boli me pička......... seriously you don't wound me with your comments.

I was never trying to wind you up.

It is nornmal human instinct. It is like if you found $1000 in the street, tell me you wouldn't be happy to keep it even though you know you should report it to the police.

Well since I'm trying to get into law enforcement you have me pegged wrong. Since I have seen people drop anywhere from $5 to $50 I made sure I got it back to them. I guess you and I have different moral standard's and that's fine also.

I understand you are a moderator here and you need to keep the peace. You do a good job at that.

Thank you I appreciate that but you must understand that above all I am a fan 1st and mod 2nd.

Just seems your insulting and stupid comments like me not knowing the concept of a Tifosa was beyond harsh. It was dumb, dumb, dumb.

Well I took your remark's toward's me in the same context but that's in the past ok?

It seems that I don't actually fight much with the McLaren supporters and get along well with them. It appears that its the Ferrari supporters around here that like having ago at me. This Gregg I seriously do not understand why.

That could be due to your view of winning at all cost even if it meant cheating and that's what I have issue's with. I cannot speak for the other Ferrari supporter's here only myself.

Anyway I don't want to be your enemy so I'll forget what you said to me regarding the Tifosa thing. I would rather be friends so no I am not going to put you on my so called ignore list. So hopefully we're friends now right?

We were never enemy's or NOT friend's we just disagree on each other's outlook's that's all.

I did state on a later post or reply that I would actually give money back/report to the police if I found it.

Well I took your remark's toward's me in the same context but that's in the past ok?

Yep all in the past and as if nothing ever happen.

That could be due to your view of winning at all cost even if it meant cheating and that's what I have issue's with. I cannot speak for the other Ferrari supporter's here only myself.

Come to think of it the McLaren team was the one who got caught cheating last season. Umm maybe that is why I get along better with them. *LOL*

We were never enemy's or NOT friend's we just disagree on each other's outlook's that's all.

The formula 1 teams will be avoiding Max at the up comming Monaco Grand Prix,

Drivers, team bosses and senior executives from major sponsors are making elaborate plans to avoid meeting or being photographed with Max Mosley during the Monaco Grand Prix. The May 25th race will be the first Mosley will attend since the Max Mosley umpalumpa Video leaked. According to The Times, some teams are even going as far as employing scouts to keep them informed of Mosley's location and movements.

The Times goes on to report that "the clear majority of team managers" think that Mosley's refusal to resign is hurting the sport. According to the paper, the Monaco Royal Family have expressed similar concerns. Mosley was ordered by the Royal family of Bahrain not to attend their F1 round, didn't attend the Spanish Grand Prix for fear of embarrassing King Juan Carlos and the Turkish Prime Minister's office approached Bernie Ecclestone to ensure their boss wouldn't encounter the besieged FIA President.

FIA's general assembly will meet on June 3rd for a vote of no confidence in their President

Czech official apologises to McLaren

By Pablo Elizalde Wednesday, May 14th 2008, 15:27 GMT

McLaren said on Wednesday they had received an apology from the head of the Czech Automobile Association after news reports suggested he had hinted the team could have been involved in bringing to light the umpalumpa scandal surrounding FIA president Max Mosley.

The British squad had written a letter to Radovan Novak earlier this month, asking for clarification following comments attributed to him in which he suggested McLaren and team boss Ron Dennis were involved in a set-up against Mosley.

Both Dennis and McLaren have categorically denied any involvement.

McLaren said on Wednesday, however, that Novak had made it clear in his response to them that he never thought the team or Dennis had anything to do with the Mosley affair.

The team said in a statement that Novak had apologised for the misunderstanding.

"McLaren is pleased to be able to confirm that it has been contacted by Mr Radovan Novak to explain the background that led to certain remarks related to McLaren and Mr Ron Dennis being made in an interview that he gave to Radio Impuls in the Czech Republic," the team said in a statement.

"Mr Novak has asked us to make it clear that he does not believe that either McLaren or Mr Dennis were involved in the events referred to and that the remarks are not representative of his views.

"Mr Novak has apologised for the misunderstanding and McLaren and Mr Dennis have thanked him for this gracious and swift reaction."

Whoever replaces Mosley must be a Ferrari favouring person otherwise whoever your thinking wont be President of no FIA. If the French Prime Minister sees it that Ferrari is of prime concern when it comes to F1 then he would be a great candidate. If not, then like I said earlier Jean Todt is more than appropriate for the job. Otherwise just keep Max Mosley, he hasn't done anything wrong anyway sport/job wise.

such a sad "fan"

Correction, such a Patriotic Fan is more correct.

Much as I can remember good old school days, definition of patriotism is loving your side but NOT hating others.

Loving your side AND hating others is called some different names.

[nikon133]

I'm riding your arse because you say your a TRUE tifosa ? My opinion is you have no concept of what a TRUE tifosi/tifosa is. I'm sounding a tad bit harsh but as you I speak my mind.

Gregg

PS,
bud no I'm NOT drunk just disgraced!

Your opinion does not count!

by the way a true Tifosa supports only ONE TEAM. How many do you support Tex? Hahahahahaha Got you nice and hard there didn't I? Here is my opinion on your opinion Tex, next time you should be wiser than to say I have no concept of a Tifosa when the reality is that I was practically born one.

to quote darwin dali

thats abit harsh

Yes I'm crushed by AKR's reply !

Well, she explained to you she's born like that...

That was probably one of the most absurd statements I've sen in my lifetime... good part of written history, too...

[texasmr2]

AKR and I have ironed out our difference's so all is good between her and I.

Mosley will not represent FIA at Monaco GP

By Jonathan Noble Friday, May 16th 2008, 11:59 GMT

Max Mosley, FIA presidentFIA president Max Mosley will not be the governing body's official representative at the Monaco Grand Prix, the Automobile Club of Monaco (ACM) has confirmed, with deputy president Marco Piccinini scheduled to fulfill that role.

Mosley is to make his first appearance at a Grand Prix in Monaco since the News of the World made revelations about his private life earlier this year.

And with obvious concerns about Monaco's Prince Albert facing potential embarrassment in meeting Mosley in light of the ongoing controversy, it has been agreed that Mosley will not attend official functions to avoid putting the royal family in a difficult position.

A statement issued by the ACM on Friday, reacting to reports that Mosley had been snubbed by the Monaco royal family, said: "At the request of the FIA President the FIA was represented by Mr Marco Piccinini, a prominent Monegasque citizen as well as the FIA Deputy President for Sport, during this year's Monte Carlo Rally at the prize giving and gala dinner.

"The ACM was informed some time ago that it was agreed between Mr Mosley and Mr Piccinini that the same procedure would be adopted for the Monaco Grand Prix.

"Mr Mosley will be in attendance throughout the event in the normal way in his capacity as FIA President and any suggestion to the contrary is entirely erroneous."

The Times newspaper on Friday quoted a spokesman for the Royal Palace in Monaco as saying there was 'no question' of the Prince meeting Mosley during the weekend.

"We have just been informed that Mr Marco Piccinini will represent the FIA at the Monaco Grand Prix," the spokesman said. "The Prince will only meet the official representative of the FIA, but maybe Mr Mosley will come as a private person to the Grand Prix."

He added: "We were waiting for the official decision - we have just been informed this morning, so we did not take any decision before."

How long can this go on for? Nobody wants Mosley near him, so, even if he were innocent, which he is absolutely not, how can he carry on? Mosley, you are damaging the sport (more than what you have been doing for years). Just go.

[bud]

He is like Robert Mugabe a dictator who doesnt wish to relinquish his power even when its obvious he should.

[racechick]

Big article in autosport about him by(cant remember his name-the technical guy- Hughes?) about how busy he is behind the scenes and how all theteams are going to elaborate lengths to just not be near him, even employing scouts to whatch his whereabouts. it also said he has things in plac e to safeguard him in an eventuallity such as this. Also that iit is all on his terms.\He caled the meeting, set the date and agenda and the format. Anyone who doesnt vote will count as support for him. And there is no follow thropugh that says he has to leave even if he looses the vote. (they tried adding this but he won that as well by using the no vote counts as support) The guy (Hughes?) thinks he will win. he is very busy behind the scenes.

[Martin]

Embattled motor racing chief Max Mosley has accused Bernie Ecclestone’s Formula One Group of trying to seize control of Formula One in his latest attempt to cling to power.

The FIA president, who is fighting to keep his job following a lurid umpalumpa sting by the News of the World, sent a letter to FIA club presidents on Friday pleading with them to let him stay on as president until 2009.


And so it goes on

[AKR]

Whoever replaces Mosley must be a Ferrari favouring person otherwise whoever your thinking wont be President of no FIA. If the French Prime Minister sees it that Ferrari is of prime concern when it comes to F1 then he would be a great candidate.

And all of a sudden you are the expert Nikon? So if your such an expert then who (personally) is that you think I hate? What it appears to me is that you get a kick out of having a go at me. I bet you if someone else made the same comments or similar comments you would probably just ignore them right? Well regading Gregg(Tex) and I, we have sorted out our little argument (as he has already stated in a post after yours). You Nikon think you can compare yourself with Gregg when you decide to have a go at me, well if you do then you are wrong. Gregg is a fair person. He does an excellent job as a moderator and if he needs to tell me off about anything he will do the same for anyone else that repeats the same thing. He makes no exception. He is consistent. You Nikon are always waiting to have a go at me. Well whatever. I really suggest you stop wasting your time as everytime you say something to try and annoy me you actually fail and I just end up (Literally) laughing at your rubbish. Oh and one more thing, when I bag the crap out of McLaren or a football club I don't like how serious do you think I am? At the end of the day if McLaren or whoever wins I'll get over it in 5 minutes. Really if Ferrari were to win every race and every championship or be it McLaren, it doesn't change my life so whatever. Yes I am a hardcore supporter but I am not going to make myself sick to death of my team doesn't win. Booing an opponent is just having a bit of fun and I am not the only one to do it but at the end of the day I don't really hate no one like you are lead to believe Nikon. Capisci?

[al4x]

I think DeMuRe is flattering to deceive here. He would have us all believe Ferrari is a true privateer team, despite being bankrolled by FIAT.

They still do everything themselves and they have been in F1 since the first race.

I know it upsets most of you but deal with it...

The lambs are just trying to trivialize what Ferrari has achieved from day one, it makes them feel better.
Ferrari is still building road cars & F1 cars basically the same way Enzo envisaged it. And it seems they are doing a damn good job at both.
Yes these days FIAT is bankrolling the operation & the lambs once again seem to think that this is something to be ashamed of or that it demeans all that Ferrari is.
Yes they should be ashamed of themselves after all the "garagista" (as Enzo would say) are still going down to the local Automart to purchase engines and the like.

Enzo can speak for himself

Aerodynamics are for people who can't build engines.

The Ferrari is a dream - people dream of owning this special vehicle and for most people it will remain a dream apart from for those lucky few.

The client is not always right.

To all the lambs out there

LMFAO!!!

Mike your the best dude...

lol, i really did laugh as well when i saw the lamb
