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.
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
