Disturbed?! No.

Do the teams really need to warn the drivers that they are going live? I know its not the end of the world but it just irks me that they think we cant handle hearing the other things they have to say.

Not only that it was such a cliched conversation after they said he was live.
If he hadn't said "We are going live" and Kimi said " Wow, that was f**king awesome, thanks Chris" it wouldn't have gone down very well would it?!

Yeah, this is Kimi "I was taking a ---" Raikkonen. They're probably being a bit careful

Well you wouldn't want him telling the world

"hey guys that flexi floor was 'kin amazing" :D

Or

"I was promised a BJ by my brolley girl if I won"

It's just good sense to warn a driver he's about to be broadcast around the world

just wait a little longer on here and youll have stories made up on how the red team cheated or kimi went in the mclaren pits during the race and seen some data he shouldn't have, and in turn the ferrari won the race....

But in time, like myself you learn to live with other peoples comments and oppinions even though they make no sence

what i like is all the attention the RED team gets, being if they lost or won

That my friends is where the RED team wants to be anyway...... always in your mind :lol:
Always FERRARI

Re: radio conversation,

Man, I feel sorry for Chris Dyer. If you watch again that YT clip I left, listen to what is Kimi saying between 1:03 and 1:07. I listened to it several times and I couldn't understand that first part at all.

btw, does anybody else think that Dyer's voice sounds the same as Martin Brundle's

I don't think so, bhallg2k: we are impartial, Aero is right. We would rant about any team that wins, of course. As the "old and well known saying" goes: "The leader always has all the arrows pierced on his back". Haven't you worked at a big corporation or what?

pRo explained it better: we only rant about cheating teams. Of course, if you win, you must be a cheater. I guess pRo concurs. C'mon, remember the fate of the smartest kid at your class. :lol:

About Kimi's body language... well, for a "salsa" dancer, this guy's body is totally mute... but it's OK with me if he speaks with his lap times. That's pretty eloquent.

Besides, I suspect what the "we're going live" code means, as DaveKillens explains. It means: "Don't talk about taking any dumps, Kimi AND mumble something, for heaven's sake, "porca miseria"!" ;) If he were Monty (sigh), it would have meant: "Don't say f*ck more than three times on the next 30 seconds, Juan, AND don't crash on the fermé park entrance, "per favore"".

Oh, Tom, I almost forgot: do you have high enough insurance when you race? It seems to me english are pretty cool about dangers, but "Lockerbians" beat them by a mile! It must be the "soft" weather... :lol:

Last lame joke, no offense intended f1.redbaron: in the immortal words of Julius Caesar ("Commentaries on the Gallic Wars"), "the english speak as the dogs bark" (and that was 2.000 years ago, anyone would say they must have improved by now!). I know some frenchs, spaniards, portugueses, italians and belgians are smiling at that and germans and finnish are wondering what he meant... ;)

Luckily we speak Anglo Saxon these days - the Celtic tongue was left behind a long time ago (for the English that is ;)).

For English - think PG Wodehouse

"A man's subconscious self is not the ideal companion. It lurks for the greater part of his life in some dark den of its own, hidden away, and emerges only to taunt and deride and increase the misery of a miserable hour"

Or

"There is a fog sir. If you will recollect, we are now in Autumn - season of mists and mellow fruitfulness"

Or

"Wilfred Allsop was sitting up, his face pale, his eyes glassy, his hair disordered. He looked like the poet Shelley after a big night out with Lord Byron"

Voila...........:D

I dont undertand the radio conversation. If Kimi lost his radio at the start of the race, why were they talkin to him. Had the radio been fixed by then?
Long experience has taught me this about the status of mankind with regards to matters requiring thought. The less people know and understand about them, the more positively they attempt to argue concerning them; while on the other hand, to know and understand a multitude of things renders men cautious in passing judgement upon anything new. - Galileo..

Yea when I first heard him on the radio I was like "WTF why's Martin talking to him" and then I realised, maybe it was due to the fact I was tired I dunno but yes it definatly sounds like him.
