Yeah but soccer players are wimps!

Yeh but so are F1 Current Drivers

[Gilles 27]

yup the current generation don't know how lucky they are. Can you imagine any of them jamming their hand on the jagged end of a gear lever to stay in the race when the lever broke or driving round the nordschliefe suffering the effects of fuel vapor inhalation?

Like Mark "the cyborg" Webber driving with a broken leg?

yeah but now days the G forces,braking forces etc are physically tough compared to yesteryear, now they have to contend with broken hydration systems. Like Alonso fainting after a GP that time

[Gilles 27]

Yup but now they have power steering and fly by wire controls. Personally i think the cars these days are harder to drive on the limit than the cars were pre ground effect but the bravery element has become less of a factor. The tracks are all pretty tame and the drivers don't have to worry about crashing really, the cars are so strong.

[bud]

yeah true, the bravery factor is lesser nowdays.

In fairness, he had a point.

But then you'll get

Sir Stirling Moss: "Well I think you'll find Jackie, in my day..."

And then you'll get

Marquis Jules Félix Philippe Albert de Dion: "Écoutent les gerçures, en mon jour…"

[yamashek]

Looks like he is healing well, but that left eye still gives me the goosebumps from that crash....hopefully the swelling will improve over the weeks...Get well soon Felipe!

Sir.Jackie Stewart is right, you are wrong.

Absolutely. When the rest of the world says that Aussies are only two generations advanced of walking on all fours....we mean that as the highest compliment. When we say that you are just this side of picking fleas off each others scalps...we say it with love. And, when we say an aussie woman has the sexiest accent on the planet...well...ok, that part is actually true....which is why we can't fathom how those women can stand the men next to them....knuckle dragging, unibrow brutes that they are.

Hehe... Cheers mate.
