A bit late, and Barry mentioned it over the weekend, but RIP Jules Bianchi

[Ashberto]

A fine young driver and by all accounts a damned good bloke.

Cue the lets-bash-other=sports=brigade sneering that F1 is only interesting when people get killed. :-/

[Classic Jorge]

That looked like a nasty won

[Snin]

its a bit like a macarb version ofSpurs signing olicy ofsaing who we could have had imo..saves wages I guess..

he'll be anything but that, I'm afraid.

However, if he's not conscious then I suspect that he'd be unaware of any perceived benefits of smoking.

Not that I know anything, of course, but I doubt he'll ever make any sort of real recovery. There was a story before Jules died that he had told his father before his accident that if he ever suffered a Schumacher type coma he would want the machine to be switched off rather than living on as a vegetable.

existing in darkness, fear, solitude, boredom and pain?

I do worry sometimes that this place takes the puerile viz-humour a bit far.

[Snin]

so I think it can be taken as not much going on poor cnut..id rather have died..hope his and Ferraris money lasts as he is steaming thru it with his medical bills and insurance does not pay for long once its ongoing

[Ashberto]

He obviously made a bob or two but I don't know how long it will last like that.

[Rich]

completely unaware that time has passed.

The truth is, that nobody really knows. People claim to have had vivid dreams - but it's often hypothesised that these come in the 'waking' phase when a brain re-gains consciousness.

There can be instances where patients can react in simple ways to various stimuli - for example, a twitch of the eyes when a loud noise/familiar voice is heard.

So to answer your questions - yes, there's a possibility (albeit small). Also, the length of his coma would suggest to me that brain function is virtually non-existent. But without more detailed information on his condition, I am simply guessing.

Get someone else in that car, please. He's a waste of a Ferrari these days.

against the chance of prolonging suffering must be difficult.

had with the patient pre-accident.

In Schumacher's case, I assume they did have such a conversation given his profession.

[Rich]

Waste of space them being in the Championship at the moment. And a waste of Alonso's talent.

probably bring in one of their youngsters.

[Ashberto]

Neg'll have someone in F1 to cheer for, for once.

[Billy Goat Sverige]

don't really need two world champs. Alonso must f**king hate himself right now :hehe:

[Ashberto]

other. No champion on that grid deserves another title as much as Fernando imo.

[Ashberto]

So far. Someone might explode before the end of the season. :hehe:

[Ashberto]

in the BAR/Honda days, and now this. Ok, so it was Honda that built the Brawn car, but I think that was down to one aero guy who came up with the double diffuser. Apart from that they haven't been at the front since the 86-91 days.

[Snin]

[Snin]

he just doesn't want and hates media and people n ****..good lad imo.. taking the filthy lucre whilst its offered..and why not

[Snin]

[Ashberto]

and the sponsors are paying for him to front up their product. He just comes across as a sulky teenager these days.

I loved his one about noteven liking his wtch when he had some big tag on ..

Interviewer: ”What makes TAG Heuer special?”
Kimi: “It’s OK.”

:-)

2. “Driving is the only thing I love about F1.”

13. Interviewer: “The helmet has a special meaning for many drivers. How important is it to you?”
Kimi: “It protects my head.”

14. “The Constructor’s Championship doesn’t really mean anything to me.”

15. “Coulthard can say what he wants. I’m not interested in what he’s saying.”

16. “Montoya’s comments doesn’t interest me.”

17. “I’m not interested in what Jackie (Stewart) says. He hasn’t got anything to do with me.”


nterviewer: “What kind of a relationship do you have with Peter Sauber?”
Kimi: “He is my boss.”

“I’d rather be probably out of second and third place so I don’t have to go to the prize-giving.”

Interviewer: “Is it true that sometimes you’re bored in the car?”
Kimi: “Only when I am in front by a country mile, like in Melbourne last year. Then you are thinking about other things or you’re playing with the buttons on the steering wheel.”

9. ”I’m not interested in what people think about me. I’m not Michael Schumacher.”

[Snin]

27. “My life would be much more easier had I been a f1-driver in the 70’s with the guys. I was definitely born in the wrong era.”

28. “I don’t give a damn about what Trulli says.”

29. ”I’m not going to a language school to learn Italian, that’s not what I came to do at Ferrari.”

30. ”If there’s a red light when you leave the pitlane you have to stop. Then some wooden eye [ Lewis Hamilton] crashes into you and breaks the car.”

31. Talking about Michael Schumacher:
Kimi: “He doesn’t come and tell us drivers anything. And at least I don’t need his advice.”

32. Interviewer: “How does it feels to drive at 300 km/h?”
Kimi: “It feels normal.”

33. ”I have not looked at what everyone else is doing and what teams are running, so we are just doing our own thing.”

[Snin]

I mean the dull personality free cnut is not busy on TV, media, radio, adverts..so Shirley he has time to sign a bit of f**king paper

[Ashberto]

They may have had some diversity training since then. #aragones
