'Twas ever thus.

Well, since about 1970 (and definitively since 1979) anyhow.

Frikkin team orders came through on the last lap - "maintain position" - after they were basically allowed to race up until then. He could've scooted past him a couple of times. So it's Webber the Third, yet again.

Mark Webber would surely be the best driver of all time if it wasn't for sh!tty team orders and an identical, but actually hugely inferior car to his teammate.

I mean, giving up poll position at the start of the race was entirely down to team orders, and a f*cked up car! The c*nts.

what is this 'poll' position you blokes and chaps are going on about?

is the grid a cattle grid?

by Henry Sun 10 Jul 2011, 17:11

Poll, pole, pol, roley poley. Whatever.

You sound very Australian suddenly, Henry!

I feel more for Jenson who didn't have his wheel put on properly, I mean as if.

Shame on skully & Henry for their terrible spelling. I guess the cattle you are referring to are Herefords or Hairy Fords given it is a motor sport.

Sorry, NSR.

Pol Pot? Kettle, Black...

Poll position.

The one who has two minutes to spare - just two minutes - to answer a few simple questions. Won't take long. Two minutes.

Webber gets pole position at the Nurburgring. An omen for Cadel tonight perhaps?

by lardbucket Sat 23 Jul 2011, 14:39

don't you start - we might need an arsecloning thread from you called 'an omen apology'

What? He'll get screwed over by a German when it really counts?

by skully Sun 24 Jul 2011, 10:43

I hope his crew whack a pole up Webber's dinger to make him get off the line quickly for a change.

by JGK Sun 24 Jul 2011, 13:32

ABsolutely thrilling GP so far. A third in but just about the most exciting I have ever seen. About 5 lead changes already.

by Henry Sun 24 Jul 2011, 14:47

I'm sorry, but Mark Webber just doesn't have it in him to win Grand Prix consistently. You need to be a bit of a bastard to be a great F1 driver, and he's just too timid and nice.

by eowyn Sun 24 Jul 2011, 14:53

It would seem the Germans still "don't like it up 'em".

Well I managed to fall asleep at 7pm & missed the F1 GP. But I'm watching the Moto GP at the moment & it's proving to be more interesting than it originally looked.
