I don't really need to comment. It says a lot

That thread was a really good read (http://newsonf1.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=732)

Perhaps I should create a similar one for 2007

At the end of the season it could look like this:
Kimmi
Kubica
Button
Hamilton
Massa
Sato
Davison
Ralf
DC
Webber
Nick
etc

It could for sure

But what is the point of randomly producing lists after lists with differing orders.

You might as well pick names from a hat and skip the season altogether

I am merely pointing out that there are a lot of unknowns this season, compared to the last few. Why would this bother you ?
If you find the need to take umbrage with my posts so early in the season, if the mere sight of my name so offends you, please say so.
If that is the case, I will just quietly disappear from the F1 boards so none of the others have to put up with disquiet.
I am, and I am sure a lot of other people are, simply not interested in ongoing bickering.

You two at it again....

Julian...... no one wants you to leave. You are a much valued member of this site.... much more than me for example.
I don't know what the problem is between you and JayVee but you are both entitled to your opinions. Please both of you.... stop with this stupidity.

I am not bothered by what you are posting. It just sounds ridiculous and I pointed out that you have done the same thing last season. Even the dates are pretty close!!

If you want to engage in intelligent debate you don't go and randomly put lists of drivers. Even if you think there are a lot of unknowns, you can still make a prediction and stick with it. If you can't, just say so!

And to the bit of substance in your post, to the contrary of what you are saying, I think the unknown factors for this year are much less. I don't see that many regulation changes and the engines are frozen and the tyres will be the same.
This season will be one of the most stable but that is just my view.

I'll just ignore your defensive statement!

No one wants to read peoples bickerings Jacfan. I meant I would not post on the F! boards. That still leaves me one or two boards on the site

Good.... I know that many of us would hate to lose you from the boards.

jacfan I don't have a problem with Julian.

If Julian or anyone else posts something that I think is ridiculous I will say so. I have done that in the past and will continue to do so. This is what a forum is about.

I have a list of possibilities of why Julian has a problem but as I said in my previous post, I will not get into that.

One would hope that by putting random lists up one would stimulate intelligent debate from a number of people,and who knows, possibly attract new people, which was my intention.
Perhaps you could make an attempt to support the growth of the Forum at some time, goodbye.

Darn!!!! You have discovered my method of picking...

You guys fight like a couple of divorcees. Is JayVee really your ex??? Sorry I am being facetious.

Oh I see, a random list stimulates intelligent debate
Perhaps in your world!

I have just created a proper thread to ask for predictions, that says a lot about supporting the growth of the forum.
