This might not be the appropriate time to be talking about this, but surely Ferrari has to be thinking who's going to drive alongside Vettel in 2015 now.

 

Kimi has a contract through end of 2015 season, I believe. Of course, history shows us that this can be handled with a lot of money handed over to Kimi. Kimi loves Ferrari because they always give him millions in cash to NOT be their driver.

 

hah I think its great that they were so desperate to get rid of him the first time they bought him out of his contract for millions, just to hire him back and have him basically mail in the entire 2014 season. I honestly woulndt be surprised if he was actually doing this to have them buy him out again.
If so, talk about biggest F1 troll ever!

 

That car sucks, even alonso isn't that great in that car.

 

The car isnt great but he drives the thing so much better than Kimi. He usually manages to get the car onto the 3rd row. Kimi barley makes Q3.

 

The car is complete crap.

 

Doesn't matter, the tractor was still on the damn course side of the wall. Should still have been local yellow at the very least until the crane was off the track.

News said today that the brain injury that he has is not just "severe". 80% of people with this injury do not regain consciousness and those who do tend to be severely impaired.

 

It was a local yellow. The green flag was after the incident.

The flag at/after the incident should be green. There's nothing left for the drivers to be cautious about.

From a driver's perspective; You see yellow and you slowdown and look for the hazard. Identify the hazard and avoid it. After seeing the hazard, a green flag will signify that there are no more hazards and you can go back to racing.

 

Yeah?

And how does Alonso finish?

 

Forget the flags... Jules ran out of talent and paid the price.

Unless he wakes up and says something was broken, he ****ed up. Plain and simple.

 

Jourdan is right that when you see yellows for 3 previous corners you should slow the F down until you know what caused the flags....in reality most of the competitive drivers I've seen and driven with on track see a yellow as meaning only 'no overtaking' and use the opportunity to close up to the guy in front to set up for a pass as soon as greens are waved

Sad accident, and a guy like Jules had more driving talent than anybody here could dream of but still couldn't prevent it....the speed he hit that tractor was lunacy

 

A lot better than Kimi

 

I think Kimi lacks motivation now.

 

haha, yeah "mailed in" might be a bit of an overstatement considering how bad the car is, but his ****-off attitude and his history with ferrari just really makes you wonder. That said, if Ferrari does buy him out, AGAIN, it will be remembered as about the biggest middle finger to the team by any driver ever, intentional or not

 

NOW?!!?!
