That is who they were talking about. I agree lotterer is a epic boss.

Biscione will have a look at you now.

Bruno Senna's entire career? Until literally 2 minutes ago I'd completely forgotten the bloke even existed...

I had forgotten that Karun Chandok had had a one-off race for Team Enstone in 2011. I had thought that he was his fellow Indian, Narain Karthikeyan, that had done that.

One that I'd just been reminded of in the 2015 Silly Season thread - I'd totally forgotten Daniel Ricciardo drove for HRT in 2011. I thought he debuted with Toro Rosso!

You sure you meant Fondmetal Team Malaysia, right?

The stint's so anonymous, he forgot what team he drove for.

Exactly!

(Or maybe I just got confused which team Team Lotus was...)

Easy way to remember which team was referred as Lotus in 2011 and 2012. That was the team Vitaly Petrov was not driving for.

The best way to see which stints were the most anonymous is to look for which drivers are named more than once in this thread as people have forgotten that they've been posted about before!

Pasta "Photoshop" Maldonado for Spambot of the Year. It's isn't even close.

I'm not sure what's worse: slander or the fact you said "It's isn't".

Forgive my phone's autocorrect. Perhaps you'd like to whip up a page about it?

Do you react this vehemently to every joke you don't find funny? Or are you offended by things you're incapable of doing? I wouldn't be surprised if it was the latter option, it tends to be people of lesser intellect who start bullshite arguments on forums.

No, I react this way to posts that have spread into multiple posts, then into multiple threads and now multiple forums. And judging by several other reactions, I'm not the only one. We get it, you can photoshop, and you think you're funny, good for you. Stop spamming multiple threads. I'd like to read a few that don't have blatant lies in them. Then you have the gall to shout down people ho call you on it.

The real humor is you supposedly started these to counter the confusion and post deletion surrounding the shutdown of the main site. Yet your resort to post deletion to keep your "jokes" alive. Ironic no?

So please, lets keep the lame jokes and post deletions to one thread please? Hell, you can name it after yourself since you crave so much attention.

Seriously Wallio, none of the jokes are lame in the slightest and actually, a lot of effort is being put into them, I use Photoshop at college and it is a pain in the arse.
Also, I think Vettel can be added to the list anonymous careers so far because he is never really mentioned because he made the races boring by being so far in front. Some races were like watching paint dry.

I use Photoshop and InDesign quite a bit at work, and no, its not hard. Does it have a very steep learning curve? Yes. Is it horrifically time consuming? Yes. But if your patient (which I often am not) it is not difficult.

That's not the point though, the point is, keep them to one thread so I and everyone else can avoid them. Its not too much to ask.

Again, i fail to see the problem and just see a bunch of people having fights over nothing in particular.

That's also how I've been seeing these arguments as well. I've refrained from saying anything about telling them to stop it because whenever I intervene in something, it usually gets worse.

I would post the Rodney King photo again, but that would be the third time I've done it, and the second time in as many days. So I'm just going to ask that everybody be friends.

Wallio, I've already issued a warning on you for this. Just lay off, you don't need to like Pasta's humour but you also don't need to bring up your dislike in every topic. And TBH, you're exaggarating the "issue" - besides PMMF which is a free-for-all country I haven't seen fake news reports outside of two topics and very little complaints from members other than you.

Fair enough. You have made your decision and while I don't agree with it, I will respect it. I'm thinking about stepping away from this board for a while, (PMMF aside). It is not what it once was.

Jim Crawford for Lotus... back in the 1970s. I thought he had only raced in IndyCar, which I like studying the history of.

Stupidest thing i've heard on this forum all year.



Vettel? Anonymous? Sure, nothing says anonymous like winning four consecutive World Championships and winning nine races in a row.

Vettel is the exact opposite of Jim Crawford, Whatever his first name is Kiesa, and others who just silently appeared in F1 to disappear as silently as they entered.

I'll have a glass or three of whatever you're on please Rob.

He's got a point in that i already forgot how much titles Vettel has already got. But i still remember that it's a lot. It's kind of like saying you never noticed Lewisteria was a thing.

Lewisteria? Wut? Pretty sure F1's never had a driver called Lewis...

The last F1 driver called Lewis was back in 1858? So all those people on about a driver called Lewis at present or on about Lewisteria are smoking something seriously strong.....

Ah yes, the 1858 British Grand Prix was a cracker....

Did I say 1858? I am such an eejit.

Yes indeed. If I'm not mistaken, it saw the managerial début of a young Bernie Ecclestone

Whilst the above is generally believed to be the first public appearance of Bernie Ecclestone, recent archaeological excavations in Pompeii have revealed stone tablets relating to the management of a chariot racing team with the inscription of "Bernardus Ecclestonius".

Was the chariot team a reject chariot team by any chance?

Not unlikely, it's been proven that Michael Schumacher was a chariot racer and Jean Todt a chariot race manager. Both in the ancient Olympic games. It was in an Asterix movie, so it's a historical fact!

I was led to believe that Ecclestonius's team won several titles under the name of Brabamus, and therefore was not a reject team. However, his future as head of the Frenetic One-Chariot Association (FOCA) was at times controversial and unpopular for various, numerous reasons.

But it was very dodgy. From the Latin first-conjugation verb: brabo, brabare, brabavi, brabatum: "to bribe". Hence, Brabamus: "we bribe". Takes the accusative.

Bernardus Ecclestonius senatum, exercitum et lictores cum mille milium denariis brabavit. Senatus non delectatus est. Ecclestonius in vincula coniectus est.

I swear he paid his way out though.
