RJS1977 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Saw an interview with Danny Ricc earlier on (sorry, can't find it again now), where he said his plan for the first race when F1 finally restarts is to start at the back of the grid, because everyone else will have forgotten how to race and will collide at the first corner ;-) 2 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted March 30, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 30, 2020 I see that nice Dr Marko had suggested a get-together for all Red Bull's drivers, including those in junior formulae, so Covid-19 could pass among all of them and they would acquire immunity at a time when being a bit off-colour would not matter because there is no track action. As fit young men they would not be at real risk. Fortunately the idea was not well-received and will not be enacted. Bit of a one-eyed suggestion there, Helmut! 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was created in a lab by accident (which I suspect was more likely) wouldn't you cover it up by suppressing this? And allegedly the Lab animal sold to the Market if reports are to be believed. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly have no idea, I find trying to find the truth quite anxiety ridden so sometimes ignorance is bliss, however had I been involved in it's creation I personally would be screaming from the rooftop what I F-up I'd made & would be doing everything I could to stop it, but that's just me, but I know the size of my & don't need to get into waving contests. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be looking for a second opinion Herr Doktor. So in his twisted nutcase world, what would be the benefit of that anyway? His commodities won't croak before their contract is up? They still can't drive if there's no race. Fool. C6T. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Jonboy Posted April 2, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 2, 2020 At least one footballer was in the press last week because his club sent him a temporary pay cut contract via WhatsApp during the evening, wanting it back by lunchtime the next day. He has other contracts with his agent and needed time to work out the full implications of signing...and was dismissed for not meeting the random deadline.....strange times all round. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
