Fact : Mclaren last won in 1998
Fact : Mclaren has a chance to win 2008 WDC if stupid hamilton dont screw this one up as well.
Hopeful fact : car 22 will not finish in brazil
probable fact: If mclaren takes 2008 WDC they will carry on knocking again for next 9 years
Definate Fact : Massa is driving a ferrari and both has my undisputed suppport
Definate Fact : mclaren fans will find a way to blame the FIA if hamilton messes up ( he will no doubt )
undisputable fact : Ferrari took a back seat the past 2 years for the health of the sport

I could go on and on. but i guess i am saying mclaren sucks


Most of these aren't facts. "Fact" is defined as "Knowledge or information based on real occurrences" or "Something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed". You can't have "hopeful facts". A fact 100% is or 100% is not, not something you want to see. That's wishful thinking, not fact. Facts also can't be magical predictions through a crystal ball, so something like "they will carry on knocking again for next 9 years" can't be a fact unless you came to us from at least nine years in the future. That would just be speculation, not fact. You've declared that Hamilton will screw up in Brazil, but that's not a fact because 1) that hasn't happened yet and facts have to be things that are demonstrated already as true, not predictions, and 2) there's no basis for a 100% prediction on a Hamilton screw-up because while he's had his share he's also had several flawless races, as he did in Shanghai.

Please refrain from using the term "fact" ever again. You've thoroughly raped it already.

I am a complete Biff


I dunno about finding the deliberate mistake, but I believe I have found a fact


thats a good one. you didnt see post 21 i think. mclaren won last wdc in 1999 not 1998.........they won last wcc in 1998 .... like many moons ago. work that out in days. the formula would be 10 x 365 - 3 .....i think


wtf?

why are you taking away 3?

F1, English & Math are not your strong points are they?


think we had three leap years but then also did not deduct next two weeks.[/quote

theres an extra day in a leap year..... :confused:


you a fast thinker i see. ok you got me .... how did you know that so quick. people never pick that up until the next time you see them


general knowledge... my cousin has a birthday on Feb 29th
technically hes only 4 :hehe:

Bud .on another note and i promise i will not make a issue out of this one. I am living proof that care in the community is not working

Fair enough mate, btw, are you going to the 2009 F1 in South Africa next year, I hears there's some really good pedal cars being lined up?


there a joke about that one here max. we shouldnt have a grandprix here cos i am almost certain the drivers will get hijacked on the track

its unlikely that mclaren will win this year. They concentrated on lewis too much this year and didnt really give the same attention to Kovi. Kovi isnt a bad driver but hes not that bad as to be behind both ferrari and BMW drivers + Fenando Alonso in the drivers champs...

2009 will be hit or miss for all the teams, so who knows when mclaren will have there next chance...

Everybody at McLaren has busted their arse out for McLaren. Parts of the car have been altered to suit his style, a hell of a lot of work has gone on with the simulator, the way the MP4-23 uses its tyres has been rectified as well. McLaren are not just there for Hamilton to win races. They are there to win the constructors' title as well - for all their 1,500 staff.

My point exactly - they have been struggling for so long and at some point has to win something.

Oh look another delightful thread of Tony from South Africa posting aloud of utter crap.

well what a surprise its so rare that were treated to these little gem's of formula one wisdom from our south African friend.

i could sit here and read though it, and be treated to the little pearls of wisdom tony comes up with.

But i'd rather go watch paint dry.
