We where discussing that era.. that special era ,the Bridgestone era, where all in the land had Bridgestones, Shooomucker had the ones with rubber and the rest had the ones with cord.

A Banned mass damper cost some too ...... so what ....Stooley won 5 with tires and Alonso winning "one" because of such ..

To address your other concern , Vettel is but a boy to Alonso and Hamilton..
Alonso enjoyed preferential Michelins when he drove for Renault. Remember Hungary 2003?

Also, you said I obviously didn't know why Schumacher went to Ferrari, and that I should ask Flavio. So tell me why he went.

Wasting your breath with Low Thinking Comprehension is a waste of anyone's time.

Where can I buy myself a foil hat?

I don't know any conspiracy fanatics, but after reading this I think I need to protect my brain.

Was it your intention to announce to all that Lewis has gotten under your skin?

Wow, and you also weathered all of their failure this year. They now have the car, they have the driver, and apparently the "vig" has been paid. No excuse for the "best in F1" not to be winning right?

Maybe they should just bring Kimi back......

Ah, yes, the 2010 WDC final race, the Heimlich in a carbon fiber monocoque. An epic collapse, on par with the 2004 Yankees vs Red Sox, the 2009 Bruins vs Flyers.
Fitting for a 2x WDC, the real kind, not the faux kind of WDC.

IIRC, I had stated, PUBLICALLY, that if Alonso (aka DV, aka Little Miss Sunshine), who was leading the WDC, actually WON the 2010 WDC, I would leave RL PERMANENTLY.

IIRC, you lacked, in the words of David Hobbs, the attachments to place a reciprocal wager.

I have far more respect for Luis de Prat than I do you.

BTW, if you really think that is what LTC stands for, I would offer that we both take an IQ test. I will spot you 50 points.

Now now boys let's not make this personal. keep it to the subject at hand and not about "attachments" or IQ. Must I always be the peace maker? ;-)

We should put this whole nonsense of labeling some drivers as real champions while labeling others as faux champions to rest and thus save Alonso the embarrassment of being labeled a faux champion. After all, when asked who is the best driver of all time, most people would answer Ayrton Senna. But even the great Ayrton Senna scored less points than Alan Prost when Senna took his 1st WDC. But due to the rules at the time, they threw away more of Prost's points than they threw away Senna's points. I sure do not want to think of Senna as a faux champion, but Prost did score more points in 1988.

There have been many great Grand Prix drivers over the years. Some were lucky enough to win the WDC because they were in the right car at the right time. And there were other great drivers where the cards did not all fall in the right place. Take off the tin foil hats, F1 is not perfect.

MIke ..

Schumacher had custom Bridgestones when all others were on Bridgestones. SI.. IN 2003 was everyone on Michelin's.? The Bridgestone teams jumped to Michelin due to the custom Bridgestones being made for Ferrari along with their leaked data .
