'' The Fat Lady Hasn't Sung Yet , But We Can See Her Backstage ''

[Bazile]

Quote of the day - love it

[Zacs-Master]

Apropos of.....

[tonyav]

Who said that, Bazile ?.

[sapelesam]

Toto Woolfe, Mercedes F1 boss.

[tonyav]

Ah right, thanks sapelsam.

[THECORBYLOON]

Was she bending over?

[sapelesam]

Maybe we should think about replacing "The Fat Lady" with something a little less fatist. How about The Soprano, she is usually the lady mentioned.

Max Verstappen won't be singing, he was robbed of third. Lucky Ferrari or is that a tautology?

[douglas9401]

Or maybe opera singers should eat a bit less.

Anyway, Max Verstappen was horribly wronged by people who should know better in being robbed of third place.
I've just watched endless repeats of Carlos Sainz making the same four wheels over the line move with no penalty and being praised to the heavens.

[Bazile]

Yes , well done to the Mercedes on the constructors title .
Just leaves the the crossing of the t's and the dotting of the i's , for Lewis

Someone once asked me what FIA stood for, my reply, Ferrari International Assistance. Still no need for what Verstappen said to Lee.

[Bazile]

Indeed inconsistency in applying he rules .

Another thing to look at for 2018 is this ridiculous engine penalties

[douglas9401]

If those in charge of enforcing the rules and dishing out punishment are with a steward.idiots then what else are you going to call them?

Some with more inside knowledge than either of us seem to think there's a personal grudge thing going on.

[sapelesam]

Couldn't agree more Bazile, the only good thing is seeing star drivers making up places when penalised.

Singers --- I'm an alto of a certain age. My boobs went up when I started to sing seriously and won't shrink! I'm informed it is because I sing - but singing is good for my morale and I like it. FYI - the rest of me has shrunk over the last year as I try to lessen the strain on my back by eating less and exercising more. My top half is now more than 1 size different from the rest of my body and it is not funny!

'Fat Ladies' may just be victims of all the chest expansion we do.

[sapelesam]

Verstappen will probably be hit with another penalty for his remark.

[jourdain2]

^^^ I do understand what you are on about - MrJ2 is an F1 fan.

[sapelesam]

My wife is similarly endowed Jourdain2, biggest problem is pyjamas when you can't buy separates. She did talk about a reduction op, I said, "If they go, I go" just joshing.

[Hopkirk]

The fat lady is a bit busy. She's gargling out the back of Goodison Park.

[Bazile]

Verstappen may well think that , however you have to know when to bite your lips , even in the heat of the moment .

His comments were ill judged , which on reflection i think he will agree
