Not sure how you come up­ with sensational, if you compare him to the other new­ drivers, who had not testing and had never driven in F1­ and had never driven the cars they got into, when he­ had driven in F1 he had driven the car he was given and­ didn't he get the promo run as well so in fact he­ had done 100 laps more that the otehr new chaps. So I­ am not comparing him existing drivers, but the other­ incomers.

I have had an idea though, what if teams­ were made to designate a reserve driver, and on the­ FRiday they had a short race, say 20 laps for the­ reserves? Perhaps not this years car but last years or­ some restrictions on teh car so it is not identical to­ the F1 car. Fans get an extra race, they can have an­ 'apprentice' cup and if they do have to move up­ and fill the seat, they can do their 2 straight line­ tests to get the 'feel' of the difference

No Luca, your embrassingly low ability lost you your­ drive

I told you how we did it but ok then if you are all too­ stupid to see he is talking out his @r$e then go ahead­ & believe it I dont rearly give a $h1t & i­ doubt if my brother will either

It is a puzzling one isn't it Biggles. APPARENTLY­ Lewis only finished runner up in 2007 and won in 2008­ because of the car. APPARENTLY any driver could win in­ that car. So, using the same logic that the car is­ EVERYTHING and the driver a minor component, that means­ the Ferrari is useless because Badoer is the same as­ every other driver.

Of course, the performance of Kimi­ in the same races does cause a paradoxical situation in­ which the car is good and therefore it must be Badoer­ that is useless. Such arguments will surely make the­ heads of some idiots explode at the impossibility of­ the situation (I wonder where touronroute has been­ recently?).

So, certain fake tifosi have to admit­ Maranello made a mistake and that the Badoer isn't­ that good, and as such the driver is CRUCIAL to the­ success of a car, and as such Hamilton is good enough­ to have won in 2008 and Button is good enough to be­ leading this year. After all, if the car is EVERYTHING­ then Badoer shouldn't have finished dead last in­ two races.

Alternatively, these same people need to­ admit that they support a team whose cars aren't­ that good, in fact the worst on the grid, and therefore­ it is justifiable that Badoer finished last and that­ supports the argument that Mclaren won Lewis the WDC­ and not Lewis himself.

What a predicament to be in.

bring back testing cause it'll stop the poorer­ teams from messing up the rich teams' races - by­ beating them

bring back testing cause it'll be a lot safer and­ will help test drivers up to speed

6-1-6: You suggest that Badoer came last because the­ Ferrari was rubbish. Well Kimi WON the race in the same­ car so it couldn't have been that bad could it?

Shaun C, that was a truly pathetic attempt!!!!

Anyone know what happened to Kwjibo, I know he was a­­ stupid r sole and an unpleasant little scroat but I do­ miss him. NOT.

Come on Shaun C, you can also join in­ the quiz. Did you ever tell us what the C stood I­ think we can hazard a pretty accurate guess cn­ ut.

There is a clue about the ID kwijbo is currently­ using in the question. Please dial 999 with the­ answer, calls will cost £1.50 but mobile charges will­ vary. Do not dial after 21 Aug 2045 because you might­ still be charged but have fek all chance of­ winning.

INEEDSPANKING2 AND U R SOLES ARE THE SAME­ PERSON.

Nicely proved in the following­ posts.

So spanking gets asked a­ question and u r soles responds - priceless - and you­ know what excuse u r soles came up with? He said he­ was being sarcastic and spanking now says that they are­ brothers!!!! Well Shaun C I have a couple of brothers­ and a sister but I let them answer their own­ questions.

You are the one who is not man enough to­ admit that they made a gaff not me muppet.

lol at your­ expense Shaun, oh and just to say I have no idea who­ the shadow is, nothing to do with me.

Well you could have 2 PCs or you could have 2 browsers­ open, I have just done what you claim is impossible bu­ using Firefox and IE.

It's interesting that you­ knew your posts were going to be very close together­ when you submitted them. That's a bit suspicous,­ as is the lengths you are going to trying to disprove­ something that's is so obviously true.

U R Soles =­ inneedspanking2

Testing is absolutely VITAL to any kind of motor­ sport,­ especially F1 ..

How can anyone think a man­ can sit in­ the seat of a modern day F1 car with no­ testing­ whatsoever and be expected to race­ competitively from­ the word go? - Impossible!

I­ honestly think that the­ media amongst others have come­ down too rough on Luca.

In­ my honest opinion I think­ Luca has done a sensational­ job during his brief­ return to the cockpit and should­ hold his head up­ high.
