I wonder if they'd rather pay that than base their operations in Europe. Either way lol my country sucks.

Feels Villeneuve posted:anyway from what it looks like, noted boosters of the Hitler regime, Mercedes, took advantage of Italy being ravaged by COVID-19 to take a very unfair WCC. Hope that season gets wiped from the history books like the time Nigel Mansell won because his car was driven by the advanced AI from Geoff Crammond's Grand Prix Simulation I'm so glad you're back with these fermented gold posts.

It's not really enough, especially refundable, to warrant building a base elsewhere. But if we ever get new teams they're going to look at that and think Germany looks pretty bloody good certainly.

Payndz posted:Just learned how Brexit will affect F1: UK-based teams will now need a carnet to allow their cars to be temporarily imported into the EU for work purposes. That involves paying a £240+VAT admin fee (no biggie)... and 40% of the value of the car. For each car. eh in your accounting you just kind of ignore it (source: me, money expert)

Surely they have to do that for all races outside the EU previously, so it's probably not that much of a big deal. Doesn't FOM handle all freight anyway? I seem to remember everything is shipped off to various locations and the teams catch up to their freight that is often sent months in advance of the race.

Feels Villeneuve posted:What's everyone's predictions for 2021. I think Italy will bounce back from COVID-19 and Ferrari have a hell of a season while the epic fail England Virus COVID strain causes the Mercedes team to have a massive meltdown #ForzaFerrari #MissionWinnow #KeepFightingMichael Mercedes wins 99% of the races, RedBull will take 2nd and 3rds, Renault,Racing point and McLaren will drive the entertainment as they battle for podiums, #failerrari will trend #1 on Twitter. Williams will pass Haas leading Haas to sell the team to Mazebinman. daslog fucked around with this message at 13:49 on Jan 19, 2021 |

Also the 'value' of an F1 car is pretty nebulous. The vast majority of the pricetag put on parts (100k for a front wing or whatever) is a calculation made on labour time and r&d costs. I'm sure they could come up with a figure for the purposes of a transportation deposit that is relative pocket change.

He's an ok driver but it's not like you could've put someone like Pérez or even (shudders) Ricciardo in that car and they would've probably managed to win a WDC in that Mercedes. 97 was the first season I saw, I don't remember anything about it lol but I do remember when the 98 season started the cars looked poo poo and williams were poo poo

Love our Jense. That 2011 Canadian Grand Prix was awesome, and the massive rain delays meaning I was smashed by the end of it.

if you all have some gangtags you want uploaded, i don't mind doing that. that is a fun off season thing we could do Width: 180px Height: 20-40px is a good File size: 30kb (wiggle room here, make it as small as you can and look nice) Animation: Gifs are okay, but prefer either static or minimal animation.

ilmucche posted:button.... good? Button owns. Case in point: he spent the twilight of his career with McLaren with another former WDC driver and the comparison between the two speaks volumes. Nando went off in a tremendous pissfit of rage, helldumping everything within his tiny reach and burning every bridge he could see. Jense just rolled with the punches and ended up taking over Ted's Notebook at his final race, pissed as a fart, giving an amount of fucks that would've satisified Ron Dennis' definition of 'zero.' Good lad, did well, stole are hearts. Have fun next year, Alpine. <3
