- 12 Aug 08, 08:35#60462I always thought Dennis started throwing kids into his cars to try and break Ferarri/Schumacher's stranglehold on the record books.
Lewis has shown signs that he could be as good as Schumi one day, but he's a long way off just yet.
Kids??? How many has he been throwing in his cars?? Kimi?? Juan?? Mika??
Only thrown the one i think and it's been pretty successfull i'd say 

Can you read? Started being the operative word.
Are you going to follow my posts around forever? Have I upset you that much over my Lewis Hamilton comments?

Nuthin to say, just wanted to illustrate how silly these massive quotes are
OOOOO!!
Dont flatter yourself, Im not following you around. Just responding to stark nonsense whoever its written by.
Yes I can read. I saw that you wrote the word "started". In fact you said "Dennis started throwing kids into his cars to try and break Ferarri/Schumacher's stranglehold on the record books." Now that stranglehold as you put it has not been in evidence for some four years. This kid throwing did not start four years ago and your use of the word "kids" means more than one child. Can you write?
Yes you are following me around, I know you can't help yourself whenever the words Lewis Hamilton are mentioned on this board 
Records don't disappear when a driver retires you know, they don't get deleted, they are still there 
Do you understand even the most basic rules in F1?
Did I say records got deleted??? 
Yes I understand the basic rules of F1 and some of the more complex ones too. What have the rules of F1 got to do with your comments about throwing kids into racing cars??
You still haven explained who all these kids are that Ron Dennis is throwing around?
Oh! I bet you mean Alonso!!
I forgot about him!
KR was a 'kid' when he drove for McLaren, LH and now HK are 'kids', so I wouldn't dismiss demure's claim too quickly...
Apart from LH both the other kids you mention had been thrown by someone else before RD.
They had already been flung into battle.
I interpreted 'kids' as young drivers with not much experience.
Yep well all teams have those so to single out RD as "Throwing in kids" is an odd thing to say since Lewis is his only homegrown kid. All the other McLaren kids are second or third hand so the teams they beloonged to threw kids way before RD
Only second, not third hand: KR and HK had all of one Formula One season under their belts when they got snatched by McLaren, so they were virtually rookies, i.e., young with not too much experience. That was the point of that post. Contrast that with Ferrari's approach. They usually go for more experienced drivers - they even sent FM back to boot camp before hiring him as a driver. They wait for the drivers (RK, SV?) to hone their skills at other teams. Just a different approach, no judgment on which way is the better way.
Fair enough, though it sounded judgemental when Demure said it 
( i could add that FM needed sending back to boot camp wheras lewis didnt...but i wouldnt stoop so low
)
FM would have had to make Ferrari boot RB or MS, so there was a more competitive environment - LH simply got invited to fill a vacant seat.
Then Ferrari would also have flung in kids had they had a vacancy. 
FM had already more experience back then.
But he needed a bit more! 
If he was to kick out RB, yes. LH didn't have to kick out anybody. Full circle 
Ha! yes we goin in full circle here
Maybe we should call a truce....or should we go for the quote record??
One point however. Had FM not had to kick out RB just as lewis didnt have to kick anyone out-then presumably Ferrari would have thrown the kid in! 


A presumption on your part that I don't share! It's just not in Ferrari's DNA to offer one of their driver seats to an inexperienced (or unfinished) driver. They leave this kind of business to the lesser teams and then snatch the ones they really want - and they can afford doing this as they have the dough and prestige to get virtually ANY driver they want.
I bet they'd like Lewis but I doubt they'd get him
Nuthin to say, just wanted to illustrate how silly this quoting is getting
"In my opinion, the secret of speed consists of taking corners on the limit while balancing the car with the accelerator to keep it stable. The majority of drivers try to do it but some are too jerky which costs them time." MS
