learnincurve posted:WARNING! ITS BAD, LIKE EAR BLEACH BAD! WARNING! Also I had no idea who that NASCAR guy was either, and I'm American. I thought IndyCar maybe for a second. They have a guy whose team is sponsored by Steak 'n' Shake restaurants and when he wins a race they give him a milkshake with a cherry on top in a fruity little flowery ice cream glass thing to drink while standing on the car. America is where motorsports go to die in indignity.

Reminder. Bottas is only one point behind Kimi in the championship. Kimi is saying he does not care if he comes fourth or fifth, Botas is saying it would "be nice"* to come fourth. *finnish for "I would sell my firstborn to the devil to come fourth"

He seems slightly less autistic and definitely less arrogant than Kimi. Not that I have anything against autistic people (what would be the point of watching F1 then?)

Most of the above set up by Bernie to pad his pockets, not giving a gently caress that it's killing the sport. ImplicitAssembler posted:And FOM made how many billions in profit? FOM and Bernie are the only ones getting a good deal. I'm pretty sure he has exactly timed the financial collapse of F1 to coincide with the moment of his death to utterly maximize every cent he can bleed out before he goes.

Big tyres and boadicea wings with some other aero stuff coming for 2017. What this means is no more stupid "dirty air" poo poo with wings sometimes exploding when they get too close to the car in front or engines melting if they follow too close for too long. Sky f1 is about to repeat the us GP.

Bernie paid off Lotus' past due bills in order for them to participate in Abu Dhabi since all their equipment was locked up cause of non-pay again. Bernie spending money--- hell, any money ---on the actual teams pretty much confirming the Renault deal is 100% solid concrete gonna happen absolutely no backsies

It's like that time I had to ask my boss to lend me £100 a week before pay day, to get the clamp removed from my car to drive 3 hours home because I was totally broke. loving embarrassing.

When I GIS'ed "boadicea wings" all I saw was some random jewelry and terrible fantasy art. What does this actually mean for F1 cars?  Fat tires are great news.

English warrior queen who took on the Romans, she had giant spikes coming out of her chariot's wheels and used to ride into Roman troops and take out men and horses with them. 2017 front wings are going to extend beyond the wheels so when they come in contact with other cars they are going to slice the tyres open or gouge big holes in the side.

Speaking of babbys, Ron Dennis told the press that he doesn't approve of Lewis' lifestyle and wouldn't let him party if he was still at McLaren. Not grey enough  e: sorry if this was posted, I tried to read the last couple of pages and my eyes glazed over

Then this would be the race that Bernie stands up and says that they have secretly been working on making the cars fly and this race will be used as a test for next season, but unfortunately they have discovered that as ego weight is a factor it means Lewis' car won't even take off so he has been replaced by Bruno Senna, and owing to being an all round nice guy who didn't think twice about rushing intoa burning building to save a child they are predicting Are Pastor will be on pole.

Commentary from Davidson, thank gently caress. I am aware that I seem to be the only one watching this so will edit posts to cut down on spam. Lotus only have one car ready which is unfortunate because Palmer has paid to test today. Red bull have a unbranded Renault engine deal with illian doing in season development. Ferrari not allowing Kimi to talk to Sky, that's now 7 times out of 8 they have blanked them, and the one they did get was when Ted mugged Allison, for those keeping score. learnincurve fucked around with this message at 10:23 on Nov 27, 2015 |
