Make it £50 and fuck the charity bit and you're on. You cruel bastard Alex... the money is as good as yours. Any 'rule change' will be implemented from 2011 at the earliest. The only enforced mid-season rule changes are done on the grounds of safety - the last being the addition of the plank and airbox vent in the wake of Senna's death in 1994. All other rule changes since (including some safety rulings) have been applied from the following season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alex Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I'll even donate £10 to the SBR Fund (now and therefore irrespective of the outcome) and give you 2-1 (i.e. you get £100 if you win and I get £50 if I do) but I suspect you'll still chicken out of it.

Rob W 0 Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Beeb today Don't be 'hot-headed' on new rules - Fernando Alonso Ferrari's Fernando Alonso has accused his rivals of making "hot-headed" comments after his victory in Formula 1's season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix. Jenson Button, Lewis Hamilton and Michael Schumacher expressed concerns about the difficulty of overtaking following a ban on refuelling. But Alonso said: "I think many of us gave some hot-headed comments immediately after the race in Bahrain. "It's too early to talk about changing the rules." Refuelling has been banned for the first time since 1993, which means cars must run with a full load at the start. The other major rule change stipulates that the top 10 drivers on the grid must begin the race on the tyres they used in the final qualifying session. The new regulations were designed to encourage more competitive racing, but instead produced a race bereft of overtaking opportunities at the Sakhir track. Mercedes team boss Ross Brawn told BBC Sport before the season that the teams would review that decision after a few races to give the new rules time to settle down. And McLaren team principal Martin Whitmarsh and his Red Bull counterpart Christian Horner have both suggested there should be two mandatory tyre stops during each race in an attempt to produce more exciting finishes. But Alonso, who secured his first victory in his debut race for Ferrari in Bahrain, has pleaded for patience. "We have to wait and see different races and check the situation, without being emotional," said the Spaniard. "Something that confuses the fans is changing the rules all the time." Ferrari team principal Stefano Domenicali echoed Alonso's views, suggesting his rival teams should assess the new rules as the season progresses. "It's much too early to jump to conclusions and we should not react in an emotional way," Domenicali said. "We must wait and see how the races evolve throughout the season and then the subject can be studied calmly based on sufficient evidence." looks like £10 in the bank to me...............

Rob W 0 Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 It's clear - £ 5 each to the SBR Foundation for Alex (who obviously can't afford £ 5 so he talks big about £ 50 or a hundred) and Craig are you on or not??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I'll tell you what Rob. You agree to mine and I'll agree to yours. Everyone's a winner (except the loser) and if I back out you can name and shame me on here? Are you up for it? Yes or no. Anything other than a 'yes' and all bets are off, so to speak.

How does that prove your point? Didn't you say there would be a rule change, and Alonso is advocating not changing the rules there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alex Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Rob. I'll pledge a £10 to the charity. I'll do it now via the site which has a Justgiving link to prove it. That way the charity doesn't miss out due to the fact your mouth is considerably bigger than your cahones. That's whether you accept my private bet or not. And just to show I don't want to take you to the cleaners you can bet me any amount you specify. I can't say fairer than that, can I? Fancy it?
