Ugh, after looking at that I don't feel so good about Red Bull...but Super Aguri is worse and I'd imagine Toro Rosso is just as bad.
 
Hehe Lee got the budget pit babes who are rude, diseased and haven't developed the ability to wipe themselves properly after using the toilet.

and if you'll notice the red bull car has been performing very badly but is still 4th in the constructors, mearly proving how good the driver are :lol:

Drivers. ;)

I'm telling ya, our Red Bulls are the dark horses of this series :D


Public V8's, Hidden Valley Race 1 (34 laps): Qualify second with a 99.5% setup (the best of the field, second best was 98.50%). Get exceptionally bad start (first 13 passes on lap one were all on me), drop to 18th at end of lap 1. Make compulsory pit stop on lap 5, rejoin in 28th place, +38.725 behind leader. Finish third +8.857 behind first.

Is that a great drive or what? :D

hope my next one w/ Bee and Mclaren will be better

Dude, we are gonna kick so much ass, it's about time McLaren won a championship, I can feel it in my ears. :boggled:

I'm confident though.

Keep telling yourself that. lol
 
Even a 5th placing can't hide the fact that this is my worst season ever... then again, the V8 guinea pig series isn't looking too good either.

 
Crashed...again...heres my season round up so far..out of 15 races.

Retirements: 6
Top 10 finishes: 4
Podiums: 2
Wins: 1

R, 13, 11, 11, 11, R, 2, R, 6, R, 7, 11, R, 1, R.

Goood luck with the mclaren Lee:) your gonna need it..

btw, 9 different races winners this season..Haswell (2), Trendell (2), Richards (2), Davidson (1), Taylor (1), Beyens (3), Chang (2), Kawasie (1) and myself (1). Which means 6 different teams have won, Red bull (3), Mclaren (1), Ferrari (4), Honda (1), BMW (3) and Renault (3) and strangely enough the teams with the most wins (4 and 3 wins each) are the top 4 teams in the championship.

Bearing in mind that this point in 2005, 3 different teams had won (Renault, Ferrari and Mclaren) and 5 different drivers had won (Alonso, Raikkonen, M.Schumacher, Montoya and Fisichella).
 
god damn, retired again
geez...

LOL, Bee, you and I have the most retirements with 7 each
and yet, we are teammates next season XD
maybe two negatives equal positive?

Bet you guys never thought you'd see Red Bull winning three times :D
In the first season I won about 3 times in the STR. I had to leave for Europe just when my season was hotting up, though. ;)

That doesn't say much, apart from the fact you have a (lousy) 20% pole -> win strike rate :D

Note the 20th -> first ;)
 
And so the fight intensifies on all fronts...

Blake finally pulls a Q1 -> P1 and gains significantly on the championship leaders, especially his teammate Trendell who is out of the points at Monza. Kawasie is leading Trendell and Beyens of Renault by 6 points each, and 2 points back from them is Monza's champion.

The constructors' championship changed. Somehow, I presume, as I haven't been paying attention to it for a while. Ferrari is having a strong season and is way out in first, but there is a close fight for second with BMW (96) in a perilous second, ever-consistent Renault (90) in third, and a hard-charging Red Bull with 82.

The race for last-place driver continues to be a dead heat. Charkaoui gave everyone a scare when he led the race for a brief moment, and was performing well. Luckily, Lee Davidson ran into him again in an attempt to increase his DNF count, and Charkaoui finished right out the points in 9th. Ramos, the other contender, finished a rather boring 15th. Both have zero points.

Speaking of DNF count, Herman Chang and Lee Davidson have burst out of the pack in recent races to take a shared lead of 7. Chang was the earlier one out of today's race when he wrecked on lap 14. Put under pressure to retire or bust, Lee also found a nice opportunity to disable the aforementioned Charkaoui on lap 35. Ashley Butler, the continuing contender, attempted to tie it up at the beginning with a lap-1 retirement, but was left behind as the leaders in DNFs retired. Butler has 6 retirements.

Nathan Soyfu of Midland and his pit crew made an attempt at the longest pit stop record of Jarrett Allman, but fell quite short with a mere 21.74 seconds. Allman's record came at Monaco with an astounding 27.07 second stop (they changed the tires, both wings, refueled the car to the brim and then some, and fed the driver a hamburger). Running a close second is Kawasie's 25.52 at Istanbul just last week.

Incidentally, Kawasie and Allman will be together at BMW next season. They hope to win the constructors' championship and also aim to set a world record 30+ second pit stop. Also, Davidson and Chang will be together, albeit at McLaren next season. Hopefully they can put their destructive efforts onto a bottle of champange on the podium, or at least into a car that is not their teammate's.

The final races of the season will prove to be very interesting as we head to Shanghai...
 
Damnit I wanna win a season. lol Either F1 or V8, I don't care I just wanna be a drivers champion. lol
