Call for Alesi ban from DTM

After the BAR issue in Formula one racing is now shocked to hear that the FIA are investigating Jean Alesi in DTM for having an illegal container for fuel during the race.

Stewards were currently reviewing the evidence on the claim that an additional tank was used in the race to provide extra fuel outwith the pit area. Not quite as sophisticated or as well hidden as the BAR one but there has as yet not been an offocial announcement. Alesi reportedly said "the stewards knew of the tank in advance. We know we did not break any rules. We expect to be confirmed as innocent. The tank is a necesary part of the car and has always been there, we dont' know why it is only being talked about now."

See the attached image and video.
To make it easier to identify this extra tank, it is arrowed in the second picture.

Ferrari are rumoured to be monitoring the case in the hope of applying the same approach in F1 !!!

It's hard to see, but I get your point.

i feel that he gained an unfair advantage by carrying this well-disguised extra fuel tank, that was obviously sneaked aboard during a routine pitstop, while the officials were looking the other way.

I think the officials should be praised for their incredible intuition and skills that have uncoverd this well disguised secret.

If it's not humour you're looking for we also do arguments. Wwe can offer you a 5 minute arguement, a 10 minute argument or even a whole course for only £10. We can combine it with in introductory 30 minute "being-hit-on-the-head lessons"

However we have to warn that we dont' consider contradiction as argument.
Argument is an intellectual process. Contradiction is just the automatic gainsaying of any statement the other person makes.

if you just wait over by the gentleman with the lively blue parrot we'll get back to you shortly.......

Hey, Matra. Can you also argue in your free time?

as parodied greatly in Family Guy, in the episode where peter is indebted to the mob and gets says that the worst thing britain has is drive-by arguments.
cue in a man pulling up to someone and shouting 'i disagree' then driving off. pure genius.

Family guy is probably the only really good comedy we have here in the U.S. Just stupid spontaneous things like shooting the lock off of a safe with a 9mm handgun just to grab another 9mm handgun already in the safe.
