It's barely legible. "Pork pie hat"? Is that really a thing? And it's not a subset of fedoras?

Out of complete curiosity, how many 2014 model formula 1 cars were created in total? Is this information made public?

It was a pornography store. I was buying pornography.
A 'Pork Pie' hat is a bright yellow cap with a badge saying "Pork Pie" on it. As a New Zealander I can't stress how violently I feel about this.

I've basically finished putting up everyone's write up of a team/driver/track in the Frankenstein OP. I just need to do a write up for Sauber (unless someone else wants to do it) and make the dumb graphics for Mercedes, Red Bull, Sauber, and Williams.

edit: someone should do a lewis hamilton write up because im not funny at 3 in the morning and im sure someone else could do a more in-depth write up than i could

edit^2: i also noticed that on the f1 website, if you click on the german gp page it re-directs you to the front page. so i guess the german gp is officially not happening

James Allen posted:

When Marko talks of the ‘evaluation’ process he is talking about a detailed audit that Red Bull carries out regularly, where it looks at all the key indicators, like TV audience, costs, reach in the target audiences for the Red Bull brand via social media and other channels, return on investment, and ‘share of voice’, which is the amount of minutes of exposure the team gets on the world TV feed.

Buxton can be a little Troy Queef at times but he's on the money here:

quote:

...Comments made by Cyril Abiteboul to the French press after Australia should leave Red Bull feeling chastened, as the Managing Director of Renault Sport F1 admitted that the power units used by Red Bull in Melbourne included components which had been rushed through against the advice and regular testing processes employed at Viry Chatillon. Abiteboul, far from admitting Mea Cupla, stood firmly in his employer’s corner and came out swinging. It was Red Bull which had ordered the rush. It was Red Bull which had insisted on running brand new parts. It was Red Bull which was the architect of its own downfall.

...But the headlines remain, and the negativity sticks. Despite Christian Horner’s own pleas that the sport cease from airing its dirty laundry in public, it was he and Red Bull’s motorsport advisor Helmut Marko who made the loudest noises in the aftermath of the race that the formula was broken and that, if things didn’t change, Red Bull would consider quitting.

It’s a stunt Luca di Montezemolo used to employ at Ferrari. When things aren’t going your way, threaten to pull the most storied brand in the sport out of competition, and you’ll get your way. Only di Montezemolo stopped getting his way. And then he stopped getting the support of his bosses. And then he got replaced.

They're essentially pissed off their brand isn't front and centre. Pray that when Ecclestone dies and CVC has choked masturbating all over its own money, Red Bull don't take over. Imagine.

Red Bull are never taking over F1, ever.

Ferrari, McLaren and Williams would all pull out inmediately if they bought out CVC and it would stop being F1.

I wouldn't mind Red Bull taking over F1 so long as they didn't gently caress with the rules and didn't race. So, I'm totally opposed to Red Bull taking over F1.
