Auto Racing - September 2007

I personally think Hamilton is a phony and that his nice guy image is BS. Some of things he has allegedly said about Alonso, the team should be backing him instead of Alonso, calling backmarkers monkeys, getting into a spat with Ron Dennis are downright disrespectful.

I also think the British tabloids are building him up so they can knock him down.

Still, Hamilton seems very marketable. With a world title in the first year and goodness knows how many more to come, will his earning power make him the richest athlete in the world?

I think he will earn more than Beckham this year. Tiger Woods earns $100 million, but can Lewis overtake him? If Lewis moves to a tax haven, he will pay very little, if any, tax.

I cannot understand the decision in F1...to find that Alonso is partly responcible for playing about with ilegal info...To use it to try and improve his position...this year and the future...to try and blackmail Ron Dennis and cheat......To cost the team their Constructers Championship and £50Million........but...nil penatlty goes to him at all.You and I can see the lowering of moral caused by him and DelaRosa etc...I do not understand why he and Ferarri etc all get away with it while his team and maybe other teams will all pay in lost results?

Hi Folks.
If you are a fan of F1, you must have noticed that they all have side-burns to below the ear.
This is not a trend that I see in everday life.
I love the skills and technical side of F1, but am bemused and amused in interviews of the drivers with long fuzzy bits on the side of the face.
What do you suppose is going on? A "Who has the longest side-burns competition as an aside" ?

Cheers,
Bob

Coming into this race, a lot of people thought that alonso was the better driver in the wet. I can't help but think that the 19 or so laps they had behind the safety car gave lewis great big advantage by helping him become more accustomed to driving in the wet, in the lead. I'm not saying thats why he won, but if the start of the race were a normal one, alonso and the two ferrari's would have had a better chance at challenging him, alonso probably would have given him a run for his money coming out of the first corner instead of getting left behind during the rolling start.

and now,seeing as Lewis will probably win the championship,This doubles the chances of Alonso moving,don't you think so?

After every race (now 2 left), you can post anything you like about what happened during the race on here. Instead of asking single question. E.g. Alonso's crash as one, another question like lewis winning. also you can add stuff on here as well, so views, thoughts, ask questions and everything on here !!!!!!!

So the FIA said that for the race to continue with out the helicopter ALL TEAMS have to drive with extreme wet tires but Ferrari being what they are went out with regular wet tires. So now they are blaming FIA for not informing them saying that they did not sign anything.....Boo hooo hooo............all the other teams obeyed but Ferrari being Ferrari tried to bend the rules.

Who do you enjoy seeing having engine or car trouble.

For me it's Kurt Busch and jimmie Johnson seeing a big puff of white smoke out of one of their cars makes me smile from ear to ear.

Is it easier to try and find her, or have her declared missing and just get a new wife?
Before you jump all over me this is just me trying to be funny. Besides I always ask this question when I can't find my wife at Wal-Mart, or Target, or the mall.

Who besides me thinks Denny need to be taken out behind the barn and give a good old fashion a-- whipping?

2007-09-29 14:32:00 · 16 answers · asked by mark 2 in NASCAR

Today in the Busch race Denny reminded me a lot of Stewart when he got mad because Paul Menard would not let him pass. Now to an extent, I understand this mentality, at the beging of a 400 mile race, faster cars in the back should come to the front with no troubles.

But in the situation today, Denny wanted Paul Menard to give him a position in the top 10 during the closing laps. We saw the same thing out of Stewart a while back, where he got mad at Kyle Busch for not letting him have a spot in the top ten during the closing laps of a race. Give me a break! If I paid 70 bucks to sit in those grand stands, I better see the top ten drivers race hard, and not give away anything.

Why are they mad at the other driver? Can anyone out there explain this mentality to me?

They put all their attention on the guys in the Chase. After the race at Dover, three of the top five where Non-Chasers. They completely ignored them. I know that the Chase is important, but ignoring when someone earns a top five is just wrong.

"Stewart was talking to driver Robby Gordon when he was approached by an ESPN camera operator. Stewart turned and started to walk away when he looked at the camera operator and said: “What? Get the [expletive] away from me.”"
