F1 fans shouldn't be happy to see teams struggle for money, the more teams there are the better, and the better they are the closer championships get and the more fun we have as spectators.

Can I just hope for poo poo teams like Lotus and Force India to disappear and be replaced with better ones then?

The teams you should actively wish to be gone are the likes of Caterham. Meanwhile, Marussia quietly made progress but still went belly up and should be mourned however they at least seem to be coming back. Also, teams like Super Aguri & HRT should be unconditionally cheered on because much like a terminally ill patient you know it's only a matter of time before they do disappear in the the short term but they're just so bloody likeable that just seeing them show up at a grand prix and finishing it is a victory in of itself.

The trouble you have is those are now literally the only people who can set up teams other than manufacturers. And if you think billionaries gently caress off quick, that's nothing compared to manufacturers. Red Bull/Toro Rosso would be gone in 5 seconds if they thought ploughing another 300 mil into motorbikes being ridden upside down by tattooed foetuses would be a better marketing return.

The F1 fan's Sophie's Choice: shitheads who don't pay drivers and billionaires who don't pay their staff in the businesses that pay for their F1 teams to perform at sub-par levels vs manufacturers and drink makers. Sorry for not really feeling too fussed if any of these asshats leave tbh.

Jedit posted:Perhaps you should leave, then? You seem to hate everything about F1 teams. I don't hate Ferrari, Williams or McLaren. Red Bull have brought tracks back into the sport, so despite them getting away with years of Ferrari-levels of skullduggery they have still added something to F1. Sauber have been a legitimate multi-discipline team and losing them would suck but they've struggled to find sponsors post BMW, so for quite a while now. I hope they don't fold but I wouldn't be surprised to see them go under. But I'll be damned if I can see why a sport should bend over backwards for teams who don't pay staff. That's bullshit.

So TheEvilDrinkCompany(TM) have unveiled their actually livery. Think exactly the same as last time, but with a splash of purple. edit: beaten like Moseley. Pablo Bluth fucked around with this message at 10:32 on Mar 2, 2015 |

I always thought Max Chill would be a good endurance driver. Good for him. And it's not like Nissan needs his dads blood money anyway.

Yeah Chilton seems like a right fit for endurance races, he's a very gentle driver.

I'm putting this as my prediction for the whole season. I put McLaren at 9th and 10th because I figured they should be able to scrap something together by at least mid season.

I cannot accurately predict the race winners this season until I know who Manor's second driver will be, sorry.
