Serves him right.

Its official, Schumacher retires for the 2nd time from F1.
Really sad that even him and the mega budget of Merc cant give him a winning car.
Not even the dream pairing of Brawn & Schumacher.

If good effort taken as mistake...men will never achieve anything....he work hard for the past 3 years, tried all he can....i dont see that as wrong at all.....in fact that make him a winner....he is not afraid to destroy his past reputation for success....though it doesn't work, not many dare to try in this life.....he in an inspiration ... just my 2 cent...

"Official" announcement.

Looks like he is wearing an AP ROO during the press announcement.

Yes AP roo chrono rubber coated pushes n crown..

Alonso out in lap 1

takashi78 · « **Reply #134 on:** October 08, 2012, 11:07:55 AM »

Seriously no idea what to make off Romain anymore....he is good...BUT only after he survives the first few corners of the first lap.

FINALLY Kamui makes it to the podium and what better place than in Suzuka.
You hear all the people chanting his name.
But lucky for him, another 2-3 laps and Button for overtake him for sure.

tonykpk · « **Reply #135 on:** October 09, 2012, 07:49:20 AM »

Well this mishap will weigh on Alonso title hope..

7thfort · « **Reply #136 on:** October 09, 2012, 10:15:45 AM »

Congrats to Kamui. Hope he goes on winning.

Personally I think Mika Hakinen is better driver and person than Michael Schumacher.

Sometimes you need a little luck, fast n reliable car beside having a good driver..

Monisha Kaltenborn becomes the first female team principle in F1 history.

Some pics from Thurs in the Korean paddock.

Lets start with some clicky paw

Track walk, always important

Close up of Merc front winglets

Hope with the new exhaust Kimi can "finally" win this year

Always love the rear difuser shoots

wah is it really Kimi??

takashi78 · « **Reply #143 on:** October 12, 2012, 02:14:30 PM »

Off course not.
Kimi wont give a rats ass LOL.

He was asked if he spent lot of time in the simulator since he hasnt drove the Korean track before.
He said he doesnt use the simulator most of the time. He just arrives and drives. 3hrs is more than enough to learn a new track.
THATS how good he is. Fanboy here....

But i still maintain, the best all round driver on the grid now is still Alonso.

takashi78 · « **Reply #144 on:** October 12, 2012, 02:26:19 PM »

LOL on a pic i found on the net.

takashi78 · « **Reply #145 on:** October 12, 2012, 02:32:41 PM »

Oppa Yeongam style !

One big "family". Oh wait...where is Michael?

tonykpk · « **Reply #146 on:** October 12, 2012, 08:52:12 PM »

Agreed , Alonso the better driver even without the best car.
