Erhan, don't let Max win.

Shouldn't really be a hard job anyway.

Just anyone but Max can win. Fanda has my support.

I imagine Max will say something incredibly complicated that nobody but him actually understands soon.

We get it daily andy, the amount of 'malapropism' in my life has gone through the roof since meeting Max. At least he doesn't have 'logorrhea'.

I don't know if the dictionary can help me much. You see, I'm collecting words. Not just any words, though. The longest words in a language. So far I've got one. KONSTANTYNOPOLITANCZYKOWIANECZKA.
No, it's not a joke. It's a real word.
And yes, you guessed right that it's in Polish.

E: = an unmarried daughter of Constantinople citizen

DM on the last lap! It's like reading an old book, in bad condition, you have just one more chapter to read...
and that's when you discover that a few pages are missing.

E: Grats to the top trio. Apologies to those I inadvertently... well, kind of inadvertently, slowed down early during the race.

Wait a minute, are you saying they have missed the results of our voting where we democratically decided it is Mr Watson's season to promote?

Just great. Driver rejected offer and now I have to sign bad driver instead. I was single bidder and offer wasn't even close to those famous 10% off. What unannounced or game engine change I'm not aware? This BS will do next

- cost me sponsor negotiation,
- get me in trouble with current sponsors,
- lost of cup earnings,
- less than 6M earning, again
- force me to stop testing
- force me to us higher risks which is equal to smoking car,
- most likely force me to overpay next driver just to be sure same thing not happened again,
- most likely force me to made offer to lot more drivers to, yet again, be sure to successfully sign a new driver, etc etc

I mean ffs 5.06M for salary and signing fee, Jesus! Wonder how much is going to be this time?

There is no change in market mechanics. You simply messed it up somehow & I believe there is a logical explanation behind it.

Did you offer a full 17 races contract? How much did you try to reduce the salary & the signing fee (in percentage)?

To short contract? Like I said I was only one. That surely means something when negotiate.
I just rounded up asking price, wasn't even 5%, it was just faster way to type on keyboard.

I know you said you were the only one but your offer must be not enough in some way.

Can you send me a screenshot of your bid from this page -> /gb/YourOffers.asp with a private message. And the driver's link?

Drivers do tend to get the hump when you try to offer them a lower salary and not a 17 race contract.

If it had been less than 5% reduction, it would have had to be a really short contract, wouldn't it?
