Kimi is no longer a Team West McLaren Mercedes biological component, and he never liked our high performance mechanical conveyances, however the web display of competitive fortitude fossil Mobil 1 power-generating synthetic lubricant to mechanical energy conversion systemer did not get the official memo

From wikipedia:

Quote:
"Ronspeak" is the term coined for the style of speech used by McLaren team boss Ron Dennis in Formula One racing. It has become a well-used phrase in the F1 paddock to describe sentences which consist of unneeded complexity and often unfathomable words.

Here's a nice example:

Kimi was 1 second slower in his 1st ferrari f2007 outing.
This is probably mounting alot of pressure on the donkey. so he took out the other ferrari. I hope this trend does not carry on in testing. However i hope that lewis will be the one to win, if they do. which is very unlikley, unless the donkey has some sort of accident, like schumi in 99.

anyway we will have to wait and see how this season will unfold.

My prediction is that ferrari will take the constructors title, as for the drivers, i hope it wont be the DONKEY.

The Donkey will take it mang!!! (This is a fun nickname... I think it'll stick). Anyway, my wife is a devoted kimi fan... I mean, her friking cat is named Kimi, and my daughter is fixated on Ferrari (the red racers are sooooo fast, daddy!)... so I'll be in the wolfs den for the coming few seasons.
