Nico Rosberg has led the way on the one but last day of pre-season testing. The German set a time of 1:20.686 despite having a stoppage with 45 minutes left on the clock. Nico was almost a second quicker than Buemi and completed a massive 128 laps.
Surely Jan Ullrich was also the Kaiser?! (admittedly an EPO/blood doping fuelled one...)WhiteBlue wrote:Tazio wrote:08:04 Felipe Massa is first to take to the track,

yes, I noticed that one of the Spanish site that follows the testing on-line calls him "Kaiser"???? Never heard anyone calling him with that name before.

Ok, got it. The Spanish page is using "Kaiser" already in the original text. So it isn't a translation issue. It was probably added to stipulate those journos have intimate knowledge of Schumacher reception in Germany. But as I said, nobody calls Schumi Kaiser here. It is usually Kaiser Franz who is extremely popular. He won soccer world titles as player and coach and organized the last championship hosted by Germany. Germans on average are much more crazy for soccer than for F1.Tazio wrote: The Conviction of the Kaiser

In the tradition of Rudolf Caracciola some people call him Regenmeister after memorable wet races in Spain and Belgium.

http://f1.gpupdate.net/en/formula-1-new ... w-chassis/On Wednesday morning Felipe Massa took Ferrari's latest chassis, the F10 with chassis number 282, on track. The car has a number of minor aerodynamic and mechanical updates compared to last week's F10 with chassis number 281.
That is a strange reference. Schumacher hails from Kerpen which is roughly forming a triangle with Spa and Nürburgring. So obviously that is some 700 km from Bavarian heart land.Tazio wrote:I read a comment that a former Italian Prime Minister (one of about 59 since 1946
