Does anyone really see him getting offered a serious seat elsewhere? He had the chance to move and stayed.
If he drives anywhere but RedBull next year it will be for a goldfish team in a Great White comp. But at least he will be the #1 driver.
Firstly , how would Webber know what an Australian saying is?
Second , how many years has he been driving with Vettel , watching him win championships while he.... didn't Did he really believe that the team would be strong enough to overcome the bias driven by Helmut and Mateshitz. To...
Maccas_no1 , I like your optimism. Im really hoping Courtney and Wincup can emulate Winterbottom from last year but..
Bright to give the Championship a shake?
He will be lucky to be in the top10. His new team and car will take a while to come up to his standards.Unless he manages to suprise...
I really dont think you can compare Hawkins either but as you have , what purpose did it serve other than proving he was well past his best in a uncompetitive side. Maybe if swapped to Carlton in 95 and played in Premiership , it might have been close.
Actually I dont look at Ambrose as being...
No its not like Carey at the Crows. He was a 2 time Premiership player at the Roos. Seton is looked on as being unfullfilled , he probably looks at himself that way , all because he has not won at the mountain. Do you seriously think that he will be remembered as Ford championship winner from an...
Dont be sorry. To follow one doesnt mean that you automatically follow the other. Its like being here in Geelong , not everyone is a Cats fan , in fact it would be less than 50% Id say.
Look at the players themselves , how many really support the brand they carry. Its all $$$. Maybe some do...
For a FORD man like myself , I feel sorry for Seton. He has been a loyal servant and had no luck with a blue car. He years he was a banner man for FORD but either had no luck or didn’t have a car good enough. So no when his driving options for FORD have diminished he has joined his old mate and...
5 years !!! Gees they are more confident than I am that SR is the man for FPR. No question he can drive , and he will be a reliable performer but has he ever shown himself to be a real Championship contender? .
Id have been just as happy to go and get another Winterbottom or another Davison ...
Some people dismiss motorsport as a sport but in the end it gets down ones definition of sport. For mine I cant abide "sports" that a purely judge based so Gymnastics and Diving and all other sports when an action is judge and then scored is heavily skilled but not a sport.
One might say that...
What is it with all the other Ford drivers? What was Bright trying do ping Skaife and off him , stupid . All Bright had let slip CL slip thru and then do a Skaife to the Rickster then Lowndes would have been in much better position today. No , its all the Holdens V the 888 machine and if RK...
Does that mean they will stop taking each other out?
Hasn't Brad had enough yet? Seriously , he is a huge disapointment , has not looked like it at all. BJR , is probably the Ford version of the Gary rodgers team but at least they develop drivers.If they can't challege for top ten why the...
Have to say , I've never seen a fast Falcon that I didnt like , so I hope he is fast in it. Jub , any news what Wincups will look like? What I want to see is Wincup up there in second place and the FPR guys up the front as well cause Ive no doubt Kelly and Tander will be quick and something...
That stupid rule is in place because of the stupid scoring system.A miniscule points gap between places, score all the way down to the order.CRAP. Kelly if he wins will be another example of basicaly a non-winning driver being the ultimate winner. Now thats a stupid rule.
Lowndes has mades...
Im a bit suprised that thet8 cars still have the Betta liverery. I thought that they might have swapped to their LG paintwork since Betta has gone down the tubes . I suppose its all very temporary anyway , as they will have red circles on the cars next year.
I presume Steve Richards will be the Blue Ovals big signing this year but I wonder if he is really worth it and putting him in at FPR , is that the right way to go?
I suppose Ford have it mind that with FPR coming on , that a sub standard replacment for Bright will mean one less Blue Oval car...
So do we think the improving FPR might go for another big name or another young gun? Winterbottom as #1 and a Youlden might do the job but it lacks little in rep. Just how is Marco's going in the US?
Maybe a lot of Twightlight games on Sun next year start at 5.00 might help. Lets face , how many races on Sun are shown live, at worst we are talking more Sat races and earlier starts to braodcast on Sun .
Maybe 2 Races on Sat and 1 Race on Sunday, all finished by 2.00 pm
I have liked 10's...
Its a shame that they cant devise a format that would be tasty for someone else to pick up the SAT races/ qualifing. The thing is they would need to make something of worth for others to pick up, either have more races or give points for qualifing. I have always fancied having more vision with...
So basically , you agree with me.
The thing is, it only takes one little problem and FORD will be swamped by big time RED contenders.
As good as Craig is he blew it on Sunday.He may or may not have got involved with the big bang but hae messed up his race before that. What you must not do...
Did you read my post?. I didnt bag Johnson at all. In fact I wished he'd got the gig at SBR. He has not been able to show his true worth in Dicks Team. Moving would have been good for him but I didnt say that they should sack him? Get of his back? Im not on his back but he is part of the problem...
Maccas , I thin youk are conceeding my point here. Last year , we had Ambrose,Ingall and Lowndes who were capable of taking the title. Now we have Ingall, Lowndes and maybe Wincup although I yet to be convinced of this.
Lowndes and Ingall are know quanites, Lowndes should take a little of...
Top job Wincup but I feel my point is proven. Lowndes makes an error and we are hoping for Wincup and 888 to win it for us, cause after that its Red,Red ,Red. Too few a drivers , too few a quality teams.
Maybe 888 pulled the right reign with Wincup over Ellery, SE really never gave us the type...
Earlier this year when we looking at all the driver changes in 06 season of V8's I posted this
Posted by Turbocat
To me , based on the drivers as a team most likely to score the most top 10s for the year.
Id rate them as follows
1 , HRT - Skaife & T Kelly , - experience and speed...
Have to say that type of remark shows a lack of understanding in what it involves to make a vehicle in a modern global production enviroment.
Are the airbags made by Holden? , the electrics that are fault , Holden? That much crap is going into all the car that are made by overseas suppliers Im...
Briscoe has talent but dollars talk in motorsport. I wonder if he would consider a full time gig over here for a couple of years to build the bank account up again.
Jees , how long did it take them to dream that one up. Some talk about less being more but I think Perkins has shown that less is less . Oh well, Im sure they will sell their share of T shirts to the punters who like a dash of JD and after all its only another car that will be behind 888
