^ ^ ^

[kamakazi]

Come on Jenson.... Hope this season is filled with changing conditions. ..

[NR8]

Jenson, Fernando and Honda McLaren are indeed an exciting prospect.

Idk if it's just me, but sadly I can't say the same about Vettel and Ferrari.

[MG Man]

you takin this waaay to seriously, sunshine

[NR8]

i just joking with ya MG

[idlemind]

Here ya go kant..

Lewis..is that you??

[NR8]

[MG Man]

lmao
saw the time machine one yesterday....I nearly fell off the chair when he said 'Lewis is that you?'
good thing Button still racing...I doubt I'd be overly interested if he wasn't
and time for Kimi to take his finger out his butt and actually try to drive....that man is the worst driver...if I not winning, I doh care...
I'd never hire him

[NR8]

Kimi is tears lol

keen to see the MCLaren/Honda powerplant against the MB....that was absurd in 2014 season

[MG Man]

Kimi is tears lol

yup
Kimi is the lovable asshoal of F1, but I can't see why any top team would hire him.....he is either 'I win or I lose interest'
Hammy is probably the only one in the field who comes close to the nasty german in terms of 'I am here to WIN, and I am NOT GIVING UP'

I have always felt Button has the skill, but I think he's just too lighthearted....he is having fun doing what he's doing....sorta like Hunt

[NR8]

I would put Alonso close to Lewis too in that regard. He just had no chance in that Ferrari.

I agree with you about Button though. He has real skill and madd endurance. Maybe it's because he's at the end of his career now and just wants to savour it. He actually said something similar at his last race, before McLaren announced 2015 their drivers.

[MG Man]

yup
for better or worse, his loyalty to Honda thru his career earned him respect as possibly the only gentleman racer of this ear, but definitely hurt his chances at multiple world championships
*salutes Jenson 2009 WC Union Jack flag hanging o the wall*

[kamakazi]

I always like to see button's skill in the wet. It's a thing of beauty.

[janfar]

[MG Man]

nice
real ppl like de red bull, buh I find it look chuppid
(awaits imminent rasta flame)

[NR8]

I lurvvv that Petronas aqua green


Idk if it's just me but it feels so weird seeing Vettel in Ferrari red.

[janfar]

The story behind the RB11 color is to hide the contours and lines of the car making it difficult to discern.

[NR8]

Yup. Didn't really work out though, Ted Kravitz analysed the whole thing lol.

Btw Sky F1 has a daily round up of testing and news and an episode of Ted's Notebook at 5pm local time.

[BrandonSingh]

I aint really take to this new Red Bull Livery

[NR8]

^^^ I could be mistaken but isn't that livery just for testing so others can't copy their designs? Or they running that for the entire season?
