and it looks stupid too.
Yet the lap records keep falling. Did anyone mention the tyres look stupid?

Its in a driver's nature to not want to lose time. Im positive Schumacher wasnt pushing at that corner, in fact im sure no one was tempting fate whilst crossing "the river", MS was just unlucky that the water got under the tyre and carried him off.
Its the same with all drivers, when they see a yellow they dont take their foot of the gas entirely, they just ease off a tiny amount (which makes all the difference) at the particular corner where they see the wreckage. If the road is clear theyre gonna stay on it, its their nature... sometimes they throw caution to the wind (like Alonso, but he might have been unsighted and thought that section of the track was clean) and thats when its stupid.

I'm just trying to take it from the easy site now, not so serious about stuff anymore. Cause there are more important things in life. I just thought that Veyron's remark was funny, since he obviously didn't read your remark about it. So, instead of going after him saying:

"If you read the post you'd have seen it and all bla bla bla serious stuff"

I just wanted to put it like that in a light and funny way like:

"hellooo, it was there "

Nothing to worry about though

Fair enough, good to see you are enjoying yourself and flipping us all off in the process

I thought Veyron was joining in the fun of calling the grooved tyres stupid i.e. he knew I said it, then you said it. He as just agreeing in a humerous way - well he gave me a laugh.

Looks like none of us are taking this too seriously. After all it is only Formula one we're talking about, not like it has a fifty year history to live up to or anything... hangon...

We all agree those grooved tyres look stupid right :toothless
