Rush

Re: Rush

News Flash! Just heard it as I drove in to work, Massa is out and Kimi is in, now that should make Ferrari an interesting team to watch next year. I wonder if there is going to be a designated No1 and 2 in that team?? Will there be team orders? Will Kimi have to let Alonso through or will it be the best man wins?
I think Webber should have taken the little blonde runt out the back of RBR's bike shed and given him a slap after he stole that win off Mark.

Massa has admitted he is out for next year, I can't imagine any of the bigger teams giving him a drive, he is well past his best, and his best was never that good to start with. Ferrari haven't actually officially announced Raikkonen, although that is pretty much guaranteed, I still can't see Alonso/Raikkonen as team mates, they both want to win too much, Kimi doesn't respond to authority very well, so I can't see team orders being adhered to. I still think we'll see Alonso return to Lotus (Renault), I may be wrong, I'll be watching out for official news

Re: Rush

and i was under impression that the ladies like David coulthard

Not particularly, it wasn't just Eddie's looks, it was his whole personality (i.e. he had one, which Coulthard doesn't LOL), although I'd be lying if I said I didn't like Irvine's looks...phwoar

If he said anything at all, he's hilariously quiet.

Except when he's telling his engineers to leave him alone because he knows what he's doing lol
Gotta love Kimi

Absolutely, he's going to give Fernando a torrid time next season.

Re: Rush

Excellent write up about RUSH in this months TG mag.

How skinny is Chris Hemsworth's Hunt in it? Awesome work by both lead actors.

As far as watching racing.....im undecided. I am a true petrol head. I love the tech of F1 but not the soul. I am interested in the Formula E that is coming, a different slant on it.

I liked the idea of A1 GP, but the races didn't really deliver.

I still watch Rally pretty religiously, both the WRC and the more local stuff. LOEB's Pikes Peak this year was the stuff of legend.

I catch a little drag racing which is fine in small doses ( A guy that has his shed behind where I live built a 1200BHP 7 second 215MPH road legal Subaru , and it is great fun to watch )


Hunt, what a legend
.

Todays drivers, less so.

Re: Rush

Formula 1 would be so much better off WITHOUT Bernie.

The adds for Rush say like Sept 27th around here.

Re: Rush

Originally it was supposed to be released on 27th September (I remember because I realised I couldn't see it on the day of release as I'm seeing Fleetwood Mac ), but, in the UK anyway, it goes on general release tomorrow

Re: Rush

Looking forward to seeing it, have not been to a theatre for quite some time.

Thanks for the great discussion thread.

Re: Rush

AGREED!

RUSH is an exceptional film, in so many ways. Very close to the true story, dedicated realism in the racing (no silly effects), and actors that really look, talk and move like the people they are portraying.

Of course, as a lover of the Nurburgring, visiting and driving it at least once a year for the last decade, I am also saddened that Lauda's accident was the final drop the closed the track for F1.
