Looks quite good! Awesome straight like a reverse ski jump and Monsieur Roaming Crashjean will be able to put himself in orbit using Bashtor Monaldo as a booster :laugh:

That's priceless Ian. Unusually, I actually laughed out loud!

Pete, not F1 (sorry) but this might liven things up a bit in Oz. Ford will be sorry to see SBR go though....

Schumacher to be kicked out by Mercedes at the end of season.

Rumors saying that he´ll be replaced by Hamilton.

Hamilton to Mercedes, Perez to McLaren, Schumacher to Sauber?

[Keith]

Thank goodness is all I can say. Just a bit fed up with LH's petulance since playing the "race card" a couple of years back. There is no doubt he has an attitude problem which is thinly disguised, and I'd like to see him in another car anyway, then we'll know for sure.

Schumacher will hopefully retire as he shouldn't have come back in the first place. Feeling a little bit sorry for Nico Rosberg though, as undoubtedly LH would have insisted on No. 1 status I would have thought.

Looking forward to Perez nailing it at McLaren and for Lewis to take all his obnoxious fanboys with him to Mercedes.

 

[Marcus]

A big "plus one" to all you stated...

 

[Pete McCluskey.]

Keith,a big plus to all you said. I'm starting to worry about myself agreeing with
A Pommie maybe you are a closet Aussie ?

 

[Doc Kaler]

Thanks for the video preview Keith! We will be at corner 15 :thumbsup: for the three days. The track has some surprising elevation changes being near the Texas Hill Country.

 

[Doc Kaler]

And....we just scored Aerosmith tickets for Friday night!! :thumbsup: Concerts each night in Austin.

 

[Mark]

Sounds like you'll have a fantastic weekend Doc.

 

[David Morton]

Obnoxious fanboys? Does that insinuate he goes home on the other bus? dances at the other end? Punts the punt at the front end? That really does fill in a lot of the missing link IMHO.
FFFFUCK A DUCK..........

 

[Jim Rosenthal]

Yes and he watches Jeff Gordon videos, too, but don't tell anyone. Shhhhhh.............

Lewis REALLY wants to drive in NASCAR. So he can meet Danica Patrick.

 

[Mark]

That's the only reason anyone wants to drive Nascar Jim

 

[Jim Craik]

It will be very interesting to see how the new pairings shake out:

Hamilton vs Rosburg

Button vs Perez

I can't wait.

Ferrari needs a driver or one year, until Vettel, I'm thinking Schumacher?

 

[Pete McCluskey.]

Or Webber who is a good mate of Alonso.

 

[Jim Craik]

But Pete, dosen't Webber already have a good job? Additionally, its only for one year and Schumacher is available. I think going back to Ferrari would be a great way to end his incredable career!

 

[Pete McCluskey.]

I know it's unlikely but it has been mooted around the traps.
