I want to go a bit further on how exactly does he plan to go ahead with his dream. He replied me saying that he will answer me in up to 2 days. And said something like "oh, pal, you're Brazilian. I love Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and etc. etc.".

This feels like that time I applied to work for Stefan GP...

Or the time I applied to work for USF1.

Yap. Or probably just a very naive and dreamer old grandpa without actually little serious business to be worried about trying to call some attention because his children are gone and retirement time is just too plain boring.

What happens if Mr Pentecost actually asks you for the blueprint and asks whether Mr Villeneuve is available?

Then the real Mike Coughlan is going to be very confused, because I used a rough guess of what his email might be instead of my own :lol:

You hastily hand over blueprints of the Life L190, and, when Mr Pentecost asks about Mr Villeneuve, you say "Mr Villeneuve is currently busy, but can I interest you in Jean-Denis Deletraz? Given the right car, he says he WILL be world champion. Don't think he has a big ego, he is just insanely confident of HWNSNBM's, err sorry, his abilities. He actually has no tolerance for big egos and arrogance...".

Failing that, send him Row-Man Gross-Gene's drawing of the FW32. He'll never know the difference. Or, even, RMGG's drawing of the Virgin VR-01, or the HRT F111 (which he hasn't put up on his Car Colouring Pages yet, but I can tell you it exists...)

May I just say that this has to be the most hilarious thread I have read here since the shoe spam thread? :lol:

I'm seriously considering applying as one of his drivers! The prospect of a 13-year old world champion, not to mention all the great publicity it'll bring will surely be something he can't refuse! Let me just get my racing CV... Yes... Triple world champion in the World Federation of Racing.. Driver of the Year for 2011 in all categories... Hmm, what else? Oh yeah did I mention I have connections with an extremely powerful and wealthy Arab family? Yes I'm confident I'll get them to back you!

This is brilliantly retarded! xD

I was making a reference to Doctor Who (I think! Been some time since I was last a real Whovian!), when the 4th Doctor told Sarah Jane he'd be 5 minutes only to next see her in his 10th incarnation

Its good to be back though!

Indeed, Shadaza hired him and promptly scored a 1-2 finish

If you're interested in a comeback, he hasn't got a race drive for the rest of the season

How much does it cost to officially submit an intention to enter F1 with the FIA? F1 Rejects should do this just for a laugh. Find some phoney investors, write up a project summary document and submit to the FIA and see if they think we have any credibility or not. We'll at least be more professional than this American clown!
