Hakka pelle, Suomen poika!

I hope Ron dennis realice he should have let Alonso lead the team. He is the best driver at the present. If so now Maclaren would be world champion

I've no interest whatsover in either rugby or gokarts but thank the lord that england didn't win the rugby and hamilton didn't win the gokarts.
We'd have had either or both, rammed down or throats day and night by the english media clowns for the next 1000 effing years.
Even so, the rugby team and hamilton will probably be knighted and made effing saints.

What does this have to do with the Rolling Stones?

I have never been a huge Kimi Räikkönen fan (my favourite of all time is probably Michael Schumacher), but this is one of those very rare moments that I'm proud to be Finn. Kimi is a great follower of Keke Rosberg and Mika Häkkinen. If anything else, our small country can provide world's best mobile phones and car drivers.

What does this have to be with The Rolling Stones? Nada, but don't be so serious. I think BV allows a brief excurses in to the world of the sports when it is decent and the timing is special like it is now.

I never understood why drivers get all of the glory. Isn't winning a race an achievement for the machine, not the man? Or the woman?

Race cars aren't designed like cars in the Flintstones, are they?

What has any 'OT' thread got to do with the Stones?

Oooops! Silly me. Hadn't noticed that you ask the same question on all of the 'OT' threads, otherwise I might have asked why are you objecting to this 'OT' thread in particular?

I have NEVER asked this question on any OT threads. On the contrary,whenever someone starts a thread about american football or baseball,someone always brings that up. If bv closed the Joe Torre baseball thread because it was too off topic, than I don't see why this thread should'nt be closed

Apperently the title is not yet for Kimi, It seems that place 6 and 7 in the race are being examined, which could mean Hamilton wins it! (just heard something about this in a tv show)
To be continued...

Exactly ---- There's also threads about rugby, fires, amy effing winohouse et al
What have any of them got to do with the Stones?
If you're going to object to 'OT' threads, object to them all.
See if I care. After all, the title of the board is:
IORR Talk: Talk about your favorite band
And i do believe the band in question is: The Rolling Stones

How come the red car always seems to win?

ok, Kimi, easy on the juice now

Great day here in Spain!!! Congratulations Kimi, finally you got it!!! Grande Alonso!!!

.... and of course, cheers for Mr Dennis....

It's not off topic, his wife is Finnish (Finland is rock n roll) and very rock n rolly with her shades. She could be a rock roll wife.

Well I aint no fan really but no it's the driver.

It´s obvious that the team is the most important factor. You can pick any driver in the F1 circus and place him in Ferrari or McLaren and he will be a winner, the other teams just can´t compete. Therefore it´s so utterly unisteresting to follow F1.

Congratulations to Kimi and Finland for their 4th F1 title.
Thanks also to Hamilton and Alonso for making 2007 one of the most exciting year ever in the history of Formula One.
I thought the F1 circuit would be dull without Schumi, but boy was I wrong.

I guess you meant to write Hakkaa Päälle. smiling smiley.

congrats to Casey Stoner

..another fine win at The Malaysian GP

...they need to sort out all this tyre-politics though.

otherwise, it's going to become a bore like the go-karts.

----You can pick any driver in the F1 circus and place him in Ferrari or McLaren and he will be a winner, the other teams just can´t compete.----

Ummm.... always there´s some pilot in the F1 what have the power of work in the car and do it a winner.... When Schumacher arrive to Ferrari, they wasn´t winner for so many years... and Michael worked in the car and does it a winner!! If I remember well, Renault was the winner last 2 years... and McLaren was the 3 or 4 team... this year this changed.... maybe Alonso have this power too... The difference between a good driver (almost everyone in the F1), a good driver with a good car (3 or 4 in the F1), and a genious (fantastic hands, fantastic head and capacity of work!!) is clear....

Yeah well done Kimi!

All the bad luck he's suffered in his F1 career has finally turned around. A deserved champion at last! Watch him go now!

Now if Marcus Grönholm can win the World Rally Championship(again) that really would be an amazing year for our little country of 5 million people!

So.....

'If you want to win - get the Finn!!'

Hyvä Suomi!!!

It doesn't look like the teams, Ferrari and McLaren in particular, think so. If it would be the case that any driver could win with their cars - and taken the fact that the money is the most imoportant factor in this business, like in any business - all the teams would hire the most suitable drivers into their cars, that is, the ones who brought with themselves most money and sponsors. For that reason it is really 'stupid' for Ferrari team to hire a driver from a marginal country of five million habitants, and who can not brought any big sponsors with him (or is Finland such a big trademark that having a Finn driver brings you extra glamour I guess not...) And plus they give him the best salary of the whole circuit. Really idiots to pay the guy 100 million Euros for the job almost anyone can do... I think that is a ridiculous sum - like the one The Stones are making on their tours - but it is a different discussion why anyone should earn such a money for such a work at all. But there must be something special with the guy to pay him all this money; Ferrari people, and McLaren 5 years before that, can not be so pervert to hire him because he is an anti-thesis for a media sexy person, heh... (Perhaps a driver is the Mick Jagger of a race team... see: STONES CONNECTION finally !!!!)

Hmm.. just to think about; if Jagger would be not an owner of the business but on salary like Räikkönen - like Taylor once was, Wood for years, and the rest of the back up staff - how much should The Stones pay for him to make a tour with them? Perhaps something close to what Ferrari once paid for Michael Schumacher...

My point was: Every year there are, at the most, two teames that are competitive enough to win the F1.
That means there are, at the most, four drivers who can win the whole championship, no matter how talented they are. That´s the reality.

Unless his name is Jos Verstappen.
