Uhm yeah. He looks like what most people his age dress like these days. Not sure which century you guys are living in...
By the way I'm a guy The Ram.

And i have no idea who you are talking about Spanky.
However i cant tell you that Alonso looked like an over excited bear in a suit.

Edit: That button is taking a bit too much stress but other than that, yeah, think he looks about right.


But that jaw... oh no.

Formula One teams bad at paying their debts

Force India pays bills later than most of its Formula One team rivals, according to a report in the Daily Mail.

The newspaper said the team, which is owned by the Indian liquor baron, politician and billionaire Vijay Mallya, pays bills on average 30 days past due. "If Vijay sold his yacht, it would keep the team going for a couple of years," said an unnamed supplier.

On the other end of the scale, business information firm Dun and Bradstreet found that 2010 drivers' and constructors' champions Red Bull is the only team in F1 that pays its bills when they are due. The report, comparing data from December 2009 to November last year, said Red Bull's punctuality is due to a recently-boosted budget.

On average, however, F1 teams reportedly pay their bills 28 days late, which is four days later than the previous Dun and Bradstreet report.

The worst offender is F1 newcomer Team Lotus, paying its bills 180 days late, but the report showed that even Ferrari and Mercedes usually fail to pay suppliers on time.

Maybe that faggy indie kid look is all the rage... :hehe:


You're a mod right? Not to be all finicky or anything, but the word "faggy" can be pretty inflammatory.

I think what we should ask ourselves is, what would DD do?? :P

RBRs biggest income is from the parent Red Bull compAny right? Makes sense they would have the easiest time with cash-flow compared to others waiting on money coming through from sponsors. Still pretty shocking delays given how big Ferrari and merc are

it's a generational thing, but to most people over 30 or so, it's still derogatory.

i know it isnt immigration or politics but the daily mail is the equivalent of
fox news, embaressingly and shamefully biased and retarded, and even though its on something as uncontroversial( to the casual f1 fan) this is nothing more then a story to keep f1 in mind during the off season.

Ferrari and Ducati traditionally kick off the new season at an event called Wrooom.

Wrooom gets underway on the snow capped Campiglio
Madonna di Campiglio, 10 January – The entire Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro driver line-up arrived in the mountains of Madonna di Campiglio this evening, to take part in the twenty first edition of Wrooom, the media event organised by Philip Morris International to kick off the new seasons in Formula 1 and Moto GP. 144 journalists and photographers arrived in the region from no less than eighteen different countries, representing around one hundred different media.

The opening ceremony which should have taken place at the Canale Miramonti, had to be cancelled because of bad weather. These evening, Felipe Massa, Fernando Alonso, Giancarlo Fisichella, Jules Bianchi and Marc Gene, are attending the welcome dinner at the famous Salone Hofer. The Ferrari drivers, along with the riders from the Ducati Marlboro Team will welcome the guests at the press meeting which marks the official start of the amazing Wrooom week.
