Whoever we're trusting to put the OP together for next on-season thread, we can also trust to run an RNG to assign drivers. That way at least there's someone at the head of it.

 Phwoaar look at that expression of pure determination, thats the face of the 2015 wdc.  Here are the engineers explaining how bad and fail Fernando Alonso is and that he was definitely a fraud. Unlike Sebastian Vettel who owns.

He did and I also believe he posted a rant about a day or so before how all other F1 journalists are bottom feeding scum of the earth and only he can be trusted because he vets his sources and has a relationship of trust with them so he'd never get false info.

Mattiaci was essentially a good, effective guy but F1 hosed him. Shame. I get the impression he was a competent manager whose only weakness was being no respecter of reputation. http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/116930 Sulman fucked around with this message at 16:06 on Nov 25, 2014 |

I'll write an intro for someone. I can't wait to see Vettel in a terribly slow Ferrari, without Horner there to hold his hand and defend him when he acts like a spoiled brat. Kimi won't let him get away with poo poo, Iceman will run him off the circuit.

I'd be up to write something too. I like the idea of adding team descriptions in to the mix as well. Maybe expand to tracks if there's a load of people?

I feel sorry for whoever gets Vettel. Only way you could frame it positively is by pretending he's coming back from a sabbatical.

Actually, now that I think about it, how amazing would it be to see the 2015 Ferrari come up with some decent performance, but only by Kimi, with Super Seb trailing his teammate yet again, and further proving his eternal fraud status? I like that better.

I actually thought Vettel was talented, and it wasn't just the car. I mean, he was faster than Webber right? Then I realized that was never the case, and Webber is embarrassingly bad.

Things like whether cars which are good at straight line speed/fast corners/mechanical grip/saving tyres will do best, and a bit about temperature/any effects of altitude/general weather to expect. Add in some history, any odd features like having the seemingly last remaining gravel trap in F1, funny pit exits, clockwise/anticlockwise, funny elevation, or turning Frenchmen into vegetables, and we're good to go. e: don't put me down for track bios, I don't know enough about them.

I'd do a track bio or a team one; you can give me a driver one if you really want but that's kind of easy mode, especially since the odds are against me having to find some way to say something nice about Max Chilton.
