He's the no.1 spokesman for Heikki atm.

Insecure?

... Its called faith, its called reference material we have seen in Lewis's F1 carreer. I know what i have seen and i know what Lewis is capable off, so stop the dr.Phil psychology (page 44, 'have control of your life again') please.

Again man, Stop flinching every time someone says a word against Lewis. Good luck to him, but hes not invincible like some of you fanboys think. Get a grip

Last post towards you because you dont seem to have any descent post / information what would make Lewis look bad against Kimi / Nico in that McLaren.
You seem to mix up
flinching with rockhard facts ...

Bye bye, disguised Kimi fan.

You are quite right about Kimi, but Nico is no where near there....
We won't have any idea about that unless Kimi is confirmed as the new driver. It'll be a interesting competition.
I would be on Lewis

I would only be happy with:
Nico
Heidfeld

Nice I think would get whipped.
Heidfeld would be a great number two
Kimi, can go eitherway....

McLaren had the option on Heidfeld but took Kimi, I don't think anything has happened since that would convince them to employ him.

Guys this is not up for debate Haug and Mercedes have spoken, they want a Gemran driver. To put it bluntly, Whitmarsh has no say. The Ron/ Fin era is over. Its going to be British/ German or nothing else. Brands speak and Kimi is nothing in Gemrnay compared to Nico.

I just think Button is now part of the furniture at Brawn. He's engrained into that team after all the ups and downs they've had.

Where have you been since the end of 2007 season? Haug wants German drivers. The whole Fin love affair is over. Ron is gone. Mercedes are stepping up and more acvtive not just with McLaren but with other teams offering more engines and deals.
Yes and Haug did say
“How things develop, we cannot discuss in public, but we have known Nico long enough and he is a man on the list. It is clear that he is on many teams' lists,”

It's Sutil all the way in what will go down as one of the cleverest moves of wool pulling of all time.

Actually I would go for Hulkenberg, I'd say to Williams give us your prodigy and you can keep Rosberg, deal? Deal, they would say. I would then nuture Hulkenberg alongside Hamilton for a 2011 lock down title double.
QUOTE (wasssup bra @ Aug 29 2009, 09:44)

Lewis better prepare for a beat down. Nico and kimi are a class above. I hope they keep Kova though because Lewis is my fav driver

Class above hahahahahaha.

Nah, Kimi is too old and Nico is just lucky with his lastname. they should take a new talent like Hulkenberg or one from their own young talent program.
Ferrari should take Alonso instead of Kimi and Kubica to Renault.

McLaren will not be re signing Kimi or anybody that will take away points from Lewis. Let's get it straight - 2 dominant drivers in 2007 cost them the title, that wont be allowed to happen again. They don't need or want Kimi, they have a brighter and more committed talent in Lewis (not to mention cheaper).
All McLaren need is a solid number two who can bring in more points than Heikki can now - Enter Quick Nick. Simple as.
The number one and number two driver system works - Ferrari proved it, Renault confirmed it and McLaren emphasised it last year.
QUOTE (fanboy @ Aug 29 2009, 07:06)

Watching the live timing during practice and qualifying I have noticed that Nakajima is usually very very close or ahead of Rosberg on their runs, despite usually stuffing up when it counts, but shows you he has comparable one lap pace when the pressure is off.
In case you are watching the timings careful you would see there is no very close runs in general, Nakajima usually some tenths behind and this is a big difference in today's Formula 1. Of course Rosberg is underrated often. I'm sure the teams are able to estimate his peformance much better.
