Most people do.
There's Newey and then there's everyone else.
The man still uses a drafting table...enough said.

There are only 2 men who have F1 race experience for non refueling races:

Rubens
and
Michael

Shhhhhhhhhhh, I can't wait for the radio call from Alonso to the pits, "I'ma graining the tira, the cara isa too heavya, need toa pit now. <<< Nando crying...

Pit response", Fernando, you've only completed fiva laps. You need to staya outa longer."

Fergie is not used to heavy fuel loads. Can't wait 'til he loses his temper at the team for the first time.

Actually, I think it would be more like:

Pit response, "Fernando, you're only out on the Reconnaissance Lap, the race hasn't started yet"

Or, "Upshifting is done through the RIGHT paddle, behind the steering wheel, see it? OK, now try that and you'll go faster! Make sure you keep your foot on the pedal. No, not the left pedal, the RIGHT pedal. Just like the rhyme we did earlier, OK?"

Little Miss Sunshine's abrupt turn in style of driving will NOT be friendly to tires on a fully fueled car...nor a fully fueled car in the rain.

I hope Ferrari never even sees a podium in 2010.

I can hardly wait to hear the "Fernando baby..." phrase uttered in the team transmissions and broadcast during a race

While everyone waits to see if Michael Schumacher will make a dream switch to Mercedes’ new F1 team in 2010, take a look back on the two years he spent racing for them as his F1 career was just beginning.

In 1989 Mercedes drivers Jean-Louis Schlesser, Jochen Mass, Mauro Baldi and Kenny Acheson filled the top four places in the sportscar drivers’ championship. But the company was considering a foray into Formula 1 – and seeking the next generation of German racing drivers.

It seized upon a trio of promising young drivers who had filled the top three in that year’s German Formula Three championship. They were champion Karl Wendlinger and runners-up Heinz-Harald Frentzen and Michael Schumacher.

Mercedes’ patronage gave the three drivers the chance to gain huge testing experience in very powerful cars – boasting around 900bhp. The three were rotated between the Sauber-run Mercedes cars in 1990 entering selected races. After Frentzen went a separate way for 1991 Wendlinger and Schumacher campaigned a car together for the full season, including the Le Mans 24 Hours.


Beaten by Brawn

Mercedes won the sports car championship again in 1990 with more than twice as many points as closest rival Jaguar. But the British team hit back in 1991 with the XJR14 designed by an important figure from Schumacher’s future: Ross Brawn. In a scenario not unlike this year’s F1 championship, Brawn exploited a radical change in the rules to produce a championship-winning car.

Hmmmmm...

Meanwhile Mercedes struggled with the transition from a 5-litre turbo V8 to a 3.5-litre V12. Five of Schumacher’s eight starts ended due to mechanical failure.

Schumacher’s sports car rivals got a preview of the uncompromising tactics he employed on the race track – not least Jaguar’s Derek Warwick, who flew into a rage after being hit by Schumacher during qualifying at the Nürburgring.

( Stool's attempt to keep warrick off pole )

Warwick won the race but that evening Schumacher received a phone call from Eddie Jordan, whose F1 team was short a driver. We all know how this part of the story ends…

( Yes he lied his way in )

Frentzen, meanwhile, had embarked on a doomed Formula 3000 campaign ( he needed the money ) which set his career back. To cap it all his girlfriend Corinna Betsch paired up with one of his former team mates, eventually becoming Corinna Schumacher…


Stoolmacher even cheats at poo-tang ....





Yes it's true , i did "take care" of Frentzen's girlfriend while he was racing in japan ..

Alonso eyes both titles with F10

Today, the Marlboro Scuderia Ferrari unveiled its 2010 Formula One car, the F10, to the public. Fernando Alonso, who joined the outfit at the end of the 2009 season, is convinced that he and his team mate, Felipe Massa, can win both Championship titles with this car.


Yes my Yute ......... nothing like pegging shooo-ey again ....
