Re: 2025 F1 News and Prediction League

It’s a bit difficult to sound intelligent about the Madring (or anything else…) because it still hasn’t been totally finalised, but from what we’ve all see so far, it could be truly good. Let’s hope it is. The downside of it is that it is based on the IFEMA exhibition centre, which is a hugely borin...

Re: 2025 F1 News and Prediction League

How in the name of the Wee Man did that happen? I was convinced that I was doomed to be lent one of Old Sparkle's spoons by the end of the race... Tell not a soul, but I, too, am getting a mite bothered by the Delightful Dutchman's tendency to emulate his father in these situations. My support is no...

Re: 2025 F1 News and Prediction League

Huge congrats to Parahandy :roll: on his Yellow Cap - unfortunately VS takes the Wooden Spoon in an increasingly dodgy household I feel :duck: All well here, thank you, now that we've put the incident with the frying pan behind us... P. (Apologies for the double post - can't figure out how to delet...

Re: 2024 F1 News and Prediction League

I can smell tulips, taste cheese and hear the sound of windmills genty tilting in the wind... Apart from all that, it has been a load of fun, and many thanks, Mr Harvey, for organising it all - very much appreciated, in spite of you allegiance to the wrong man. Thought that the hero worship of said ...

Re: 2024 F1 News and Prediction League

Another Perfect Performance from Magnificent Max! What a shame I didn't have him down to win... Apart from that, I totally agree that the sport in general is suffering at the moment, even as it gets more exciting. The management is a disaster and the penalites and yellow flag incidents were simply a...

Re: 2024 F1 News and Prediction League

If you're looking for a total, complete and utter plonker, look no further - I'm here! To have believed for a moment that that Hamster man (Love me? So do I!) could have remembered how to drive his Mercedes and get pole was almost forgivable, albeit totally wrong. I had two other major problems, how...

Re: 2024 F1 News and Prediction League

Hope you get this OK. The signal here in the coal bunker is quite weak... Old Sparkle not speaking to me for some reason. All this was so much easier when that Delightful Dutchman from the Top Team was winning everything, but now we have to work at it. Makes it more exciting, I suppose. If I can fig...

Re: 2023 F1 News and Prediction League

Many thanks, pharvey, for organising this fine tournament of near Olympic importance. From the very beginning I expected to slide down the order in what has been traditional fashion for me over the years, but somehow that didn't happen. I wish I could say that it was raw skill or incredible knowledg...

Anywho, Parahandy sneaks ahead of Pete to take number 1 spot with a Yellow Cap
Oh no - not again! It was like this at the start of last year, and then I slid down the order like a monkey down a greasy pole. (Do monkeys slide down greasy poles?)

Sitting quietly on the roof terrace at 32 degrees with a gentle breeze to keep me cool and a glass of cheap Spanish bubbly in my hand. What more could I want? Woops. The scary sparkle just arrived. Gotta run...

Re: 2021 F1 News and Prediction Tournament

Phew – what a relief! With apologies to the Righteous Brothers, I thought that… “I’d lost that winning feeling, It had gone, gone, gone, wohaoaho…” (Sorry, that was terrible...) Luckily, VS didn't see the results until today so got a decent night's sleep last night. It's gone all a bit quiet about h...

Re: 2020 F1 News and Prediction Tournament

Oh dear, it just got worse. Not only do I have to listen to Hamilton on his soapbox, but now the Vital Sparklet has started talking to me. What's a man supposed to do??! Many thanks for organising and taking part in a great tournament. I only wish I had a system that I could sell, but in my case it ...

Re: 2020 F1 News and Prediction Tournament

I thought all the F1 teams were in a 'bubble'. I think it's actually good news that he won't be racing as it gives others a chance for that top step. Did I hear that George Russell may be given a drive in the super team? It'll be interesting to see what he's capable of in a very capable car.
