Heikki Kovalainen warns of favouritism towards Lewis Hamilton at
McLaren

Heikki Kovalainen has a issued a warning for whoever takes his seat at
McLaren next season to get used to being an afterthought to Lewis
Hamilton.

The Finn is expected to depart McLaren after this weekend's inaugural
race in Abu Dhabi, and like his predecessor Fernando Alonso, he will
leave angry at the preferential treatment shown to co-driver Hamilton.

"It was always difficult to accept that Lewis was always first...

Nuff said.

Given that it now appears they're paying LH $18.0m and HK $3.5m for a

season, surely the quaint notion of 'equal treatment' is irrelevant

That's the spirit, Comrade! Rise up against the filthy running dog
lackeys of capitalism, Tovarisch, and stand united against this
nonense of paying on the basis of merit and achievement. All right
thinking persons will want all F1 drivers to be identically paid.
Bourgeoise concepts like championships and wins and recent records
should be consigned to the slag heap of capitalist history. One
driver's merit is not worth another's need.

Now Comrade, link arms with me and stand united for a rousing chorus
of The Red Flag. Then we will discuss how FOTA can be persuaded to
play this, the only truly international anthem that unites all of
mankind on the podium instead of pandering to blinkered nationalism
and thus the propping up of states should have long ago withered.

Can we have the Internationale instead? It's a much better tune IMO.

The UK shoudl follow the excellent lead set by Blair, Brine,
Mandelperson and Prescott by selecting "Things Can Only Get Better" as
the National Anthem. For a start it will give some moments of pleasure
watching politicians uncomfortably mouthing the words.

What's that line about Max in the Internationale? Oh yeah, "We want no
condescending saviors to rule us from their judgment hall" ...."We must
ourselves decide our duty,we must decide, and do it well."

Right. Like Ferrari didn't do the same thing when Kimi was WDC. Kimi
stagnated and Massa tried. Kovi didn't have it in him to do better than
Ham. On top of Ham still wanting to be in F1.
