The only F1 pre-season report worth reading EVER!
I never read or take any notice of the F1 pre-season hype. Not one word of it counts for anything, and the only inkling you get of how the season might pan out is after the first qualifying session. Sometimes.
Finally however, at last I've read a pre-season report I actually enjoyed: http://www.sniffpetrol.com/index.html Scroll down. |

So you never read or take any notice of the pre-season hype, but have finally read one you actually enjoyed?
I guess you must have hit really lucky first time? |

I can't see how you can call that even remotely funny, unless you get giggly with seeing naughty words.

Maybe Sniff petrol is rude and childish, but it is also very funny, hence it's popularity. Lighten up, eh? |

I'm not bothered, I just don't see how it's funny that's all.
To each their own I guess! |

hmmm the F1 preview isn't particularly funny on that site, however I had a quick check at some of their other stuff and that made me giggle a bit.
Good for a quick and easy laugh if you ever find everything's going a bit too seriously. |

Drivers: Kim E. Raikkkonen, Wan Pablo Montoya Chances of winning anything: Bendy Top fact: With his seemingly unflappable character and emotionless voice, Raikkonen is rightly known as 'the iceman'. With his erratic form and large rolls of fat, Montoya is rightly known as 'the piesman'. I gotta be honest, the whole thing had me in bits. Best preseason review yet. Pretty accurate, too. |

Joe, I must beg to differ as everyone knows that Hawthorne retired on lap 19. The mix-up on the lap charts was attributed by Cyril Posthumous the Elder in his seminal work, Pre-industrial Motorsport in The British Isles: Being an Almanack Compendium of English and Scottish Personages Efforts on behalf of The Crown in the European Self-Propelled Wagon and Carriage Championships in the Age Of Enlightenment, to the fragility of the goose quills used by the timekeepers in the maintainence of their lap charts. By 1768, Swan quills were in common usage and lap charts are believed to be more reliable. It was with this system in place that Hawthorne, (by then knighted as Michael, Earl of Brands Hatch) was able to register his first GP win at Pall Mall. |

What a laugh! F1 would be better if everybody involved could have a laugh at the occasional stupidities of the sport in this way!

Mikalus Hawthornicus also raced a bloke by the name of Ben something-or-other some years previous to the race described above.

Very good, well done. Can I just add that I love my 29 bound volumes of Motorsport, 1948-1976 inc. Quote:
