Just pulling your leg

For everyone's viewing pleasure... dirty Schumi at work, lol.

I am hoping Ferrari sign Heikki.
I know were (pulling my leg), I was kind of yours too as VB is actually pretty damn promising and when someone thinks I say that only because he's Finnish, well, they're not looking what he's done & does.

That Spa pass was real awesome, all time top 3 passes ever in my list for sure.
Heikki would be a good fit for Ferrari but I think if he can, he should go to Sauber or Force India where he could have a decent car but also equal status with the other driver, I think mentally after a while, being Alonso's private helper would not be good for him.
But of course, Ferrari is Ferrari and driving for them is a different thing than driving for anyone else.

Regarding Salo & that win... At least Eddie Irvine was nice enough to give the trophy to Salo, unlike some other driver who was given the same gift...

Exactly and as we all know, Finns in general suck at motorsports.
(I know you're half joking but seriously, look at VB and then give your honest opinion).

In general people seem to like crashes. He will be missed if (when) he loses his seat.
Who will fill the void left by the man who filled the void left by Sato?

No one can fill the void left behind by Sato.

Unbelievable.
Has he commented on this or does Sir Williams have him locked in a closet somewhere?

I looked at the first video above. The comment by the guy with the camera is cool "Pastor is always like that, (sarc) how odd that he would crash"

Does this answer your question?





Maldonado targets Williams title


Pastor Maldonado says he hopes for an F1 title during his time with Williams

Pastor Maldonado says he is keen to try and take Williams back to F1 title glory during his time with the team.

The Venezuelan joined the former championship winning outfit last year for his debut in F1 and secured a surprise maiden victory in Spain earlier this season.

While he has failed to score since after a run of disappointing results, Maldonado insisted he was focused on not only delivering more wins for the team but also on fighting for the title.

"I would, without doubt, stay there a while, a year at least," he was quoted as saying by AS during a press conference in his home country. "Before leaving Williams I would like to win the championship with them. I would give the opportunity for this great team - that gave me the opportunity for me to get on the F1 grid for the first time - to win a world championship."

The former GP2 racer did however admit that there were no guarantees that he would remain with the Grove-based outfit if the option of a move elsewhere arose.

"In F1 you never know what might happen,” he said. “There are enough teams on the grid."
