'Whale, had one HELLUVA time gettin' Duh 'Ol
'Confuzer to cooperate after its return, albeit purely a software interfacing
problema between Zoomtext 10.0, which has turned into a Piece 'O SHIT! With
'Lucy, my ARSE-steamed screen reader continuously locking up and NOT being able
to read the Firefox/mOOhzillah webpage, plus freezing up when simply trying to
do a "Save As" in microSOFT's Pain in thy ARSE MS Office 'O7 word;
Blah-blah-blah; as I digress, again...
Thus, whilst originally I thought I'd be away
on Holiday playin' in Duh Sand Dunes, along with continuously playing 'Ketsup
on 'Der Bloggenspot; Ja-Ja! Here's a few F1 tidbits which tickled my fancy over
the past few weeks whilst continuously scouring De Vurld 'O Motorsporten, Ja
Volt!
PIRELLI TESTS
18-INCHERS'
First heard about this via Adam Cooper's F1 blog,
noting how Pirelli planned to run some experimental 18" rubber's at the
in-season Silverstone test.
As the chassis in question was the Lotus E22,
surprisingly for Mwah, with ex-Marussia-Caterham F1 driver Charles Pic at the
wheel, being unawares that the Frenchman had been signed as a Lotus Reserve
Driver this year.
With Grizzled Journo' Joe Saward giving a
good insight into the thoughts upon running 18-inchers in the future along with
a pic' (Pun intended) of the prototype Pirelli tyre.
Meanwhile,
apparently Monsieur Pic wasn't overly impressed with the Larger-is-Better tyre
concept after running 14-laps on the experimental rubber...
HUGO BOSS LEAVES
MCLAREN
Not surprisingly, with McLaren's impending
switch to Honda power next year, longtime German clothier sponsor Hugo Boss is
leaving the Woking outfit for Mercedes
GP next season...
HORNER-SPEAK'
While I certainly agree with Niki Lauda's comments for Seb'
Vettel to QUIT crying like a schoolboy, Seb's boss Christian Horner has also
chimed in upon the matter; Blah-blah-blah...

'This will be my Hockenheim
World Cup special edition helmet with the FIFA trophy. How do you like it???'
Asked Nico Rosberg upon his Twitter account prior to this year's German GP.

FRONT-REAR-INTERCONNECTED-WHAT?
Otay, so FRIC which is an acronym for Front
Rear Inter Connected suspension was A-L-L the rage leading up to the German
Grand Prix, after the FIA's Charlie Whiting issued his directive upon quitting
the practice in 2015 upon universal team adoption or else! Which is about as
likely in F1 as Pig's Flying! While Mr. Saward gives us a layman's view in;
Yet apparently Mercedes GP has planned to
circumnavigate the matter by supposedly disconnecting its apparently
controversial FRIC system, which implies to Mwah that there wouldn't be any universal
Paddock agreement, to which made it unclear whether or not this would claw back
some of the Mercedes W05-Hybrid's advantages over its competition this
season...
BENCHING KIMI'
Since I couldn't SEE I-T! I don't have an
opinion to form upon thy 'Wee Willie Buxom's (Will Buxton) latest blog post
titled Benching Kimi, which surely won't happen at 'Der Hockenheimring since
the allure of the Finn plus la Scuderia is simply too overpowering, right?
Nevertheless Buxton makes a valid point in his post, since it does make one wonder
over the fairness of penalties being
handed out by the FIA Stewards, as thee 'Kimster's tyre (carcass) nearly hit an
unexpecting Max Chilton in the head,
which the result wouldn't have been any different than Romain Grosjean's
Belgian GP incident in 2012, for which he was given a one race ban plus $50,000
fine...
Meanwhile Messer Saward has written 'bout
Marussia's Max Chilton's near miss from the same incident involving Kimi in;
While apparently thy 'Wee Willie Buxom' set off a
Firestorm with his rant upon thee 'Iceman being banned from the German GP,
which Y'all knew wouldn't happen, as its a fair argument. Does the Scuderia and
its drivers deserve preferential treatment?
THE NICO SHOW...
So while thee young "Louise
'JAGUAR" Hamilton continues taking swipes at his team-mate 'Brittany, nee
Nico Rosberg, who is German after all; Ja Volt!
Rosberg has been on a bit of a Dream Week lately.
Having first married his girlfriend Vivian Sibold, then 48-hours
later watching his home country win this year's world cup One-Nil' (1-0) over
Argentina, before the 29yr old driver had his long anticipated contract
extension; reportedly a 3yr deal for Euro $55m, announced just day's prior to
contesting his second home Grand Prix at 'Der Hockenheimring.
Meanwhile, in a
fitting tribute to his home country's win, Nico Rosberg has revealed his new
world cup inspired theme helmet he'll wear during this year's German GP. After
all, with his new contract signed, he can afford it!
OOPSADAISY! As
FIFA's being STUPID by having a hissy-fit over Nico using a picture of its
trophy; SHEISA! As I just DON'T understand why FIFA wouldn't want the FREE
publicity?
GO NICO!
