March 23rd, 2008Formula 1 2008

Well boys and girls we are well on our way to an entertaining 2008 season for one reason and one reason alone.

No Traction or Launch control

How great it was to see the overpaid and over rated F1 drivers struggling to apply the throttle themselves without the aid of a computer. Just like they did in the good old days, when the driver drove the car not some arse on the pitlane.

The best news I heard about F1 though is that the BBC here in good old England will be the broadcaster from next year, 2009, yay no more fecking adverts to spoil the fun.

I just hope that aunty beeb does not employ that cock James Allen to commentate or for that matter the frankly embarrassing duo of Louise SHITman and the other dickhead Ted . They are that bad, I’d rather listen to silence!

Keep Martin, Mark and Steve Ryder though. I’d like to see Charlie Cox doing the talking.

Just some thoughts - I will write this properly later

July 1st, 2007Ferrari win in France.

Fantastic, brilliant, great, awesome, sweet, tremendous and indeed splendid. Finally for a Tifosi like my fat self, Ferrari are back on winning form with a commanding win at the French Grand Prix.

F2007
A thing of beauty, that is. Wrong colour though.

A 1-2 no less and a superb drive from both peddlers. Great tactics and the mechanics and engineers did a wonderful job. Kimi overtook Hamilton on the start and by the second corner was well in front of Lewis and away. Massa did a great first stint and was leading the pack by just over 4 seconds. However by the end of the second round of pit-stops Kimi, with some speedy extra laps, traffic for Massa and luck, nosed in front. Still a Ferrari in front and a Ferrari in second.

A result that is perfect for we Tifosi. Ferrari had added some new parts to the car and boy did it improve it. I like the swept back wings on the upper portion of the nose for example.

But something is still bugging the arse of me. Something I was sure was the origin of the woes and slows of the past few races, a curse that started in Monaco.

Forget all the Nigel Stepney maladies. White powders and finger pointing. Police investigations and sabotage. Until today I was convinced that the reason the Scuderia were behind the boys and girls from Woking (McLaren) was colour.

Colour?

Why has the Maranello concern decided to paint the car in a metallic ‘cherry’ red? That’s not right.

PLEASE Mr Montezemolo wield your powers and get Aldo Costa [designer of the car] to paint the gorgeousness that is the F2007 in ‘ROSSO RED’.

You may have improved the car so it can win but it is still the wrong colour.
