be nice wicka posted:mclaren clearly went ultra aggressive with the packaging for this year, that's presumably why there's so little margin for error. and that partially makes sense. they're functionally a year behind mercedes, they can't catch up without taking some big risks and hoping they pay off. but that's all irrelevant if they fry the driver

Spaced God posted:Apparently the Alonso crash is a McClaren cover-up I like to think we can bring together 2 thread favourites out of this: Ron "Sperglord" Dennis being himself, and ~~mindgames~~ Ron has seen that a lack of information is apparently upsetting or otherwise stopping other drivers from relaxing (according to that article, this is a Fact with a capital F) So he's deliberately keeping Ferdie in hospital longer than he needs to and witholding the camera footage so that it *looks like* a coverup The FIA were busying about because there are rules governing ownership of testing footage and Ron is trying to stall them or otherwise convince them that the camera memory chip is a car component and therefore property of Macca (or something like that) All of this for the purpose of ~~mindgames~~

Funzo posted:Did they really need to put her in heels for that picture? Would her being in her racing shoes have lessened the quality of that image somehow? It would be really nice if someone could promote a woman driver without having to resort to that kind of nonsense. Williams seems to have done a pretty decent job of talking about Susie Wolff without resorting to putting her in a short dress or things like that. Usually she's in a firesuit, just like the men on the team. Is it a coincidence that Williams is run by a woman?

Mimetic posted:One problem is the circuit layouts changing over time. Spa is obviously out if you want to go really far back because it doesn't go through the woods anymore. On the other hand, it would probably win a championship because it wouldn't break down or blow up and every other race, and would be much easier not to spin off

This year's summer blockbuster! Two men, two accidents, one vision... when a special owner meets a special driver, magic is always bound to happen. Frank has a working brain, calculating and keen, left over from his days as a convicted killer - but a knackered body. Felipe took a spring to the face and has never been the same since - but he has legs that he can walk on. This unlikely pair, whose lives revolve around sitting in wheeled seats, make an unlikely pair. But with help from their old friend and dependable Northerner, Bobby S; and thread favourite and full-time woman Claire W, maybe, just maybe, they can make it... one last ride. This summer, watch out for "When Frankie Met Felipe": coming to a cinema near you simplefish fucked around with this message at 06:15 on Mar 1, 2015 |

JFairfax posted:what will they do if Magnussen wins the Australian grand prix? He gets points, Macca get points, if he never races again this season then his season point total is whatever he gets in that race. Pretty simple, really. Unless you mean "Would they keep him in the car?" in which case, no. Certainly not.

 code:Co-ordinating with your team/driver buddies is encouraged. Team people should include notable figures, like Sam Michael, Boullier, Ron, Wolff etc Oh and include things for your team/driver even that you think are stupid. The OP should orientate new fans and partners, so Hammer Time should probably be explained, even if you think it shouldn't be a catchphrase. On that note, it'd probably be helpful if whoever got the Enstone team could explain why commentators will be talking about an Enstone team when there is no team called Enstone, and why Eddie Jordan cares so much about Force India - things like that, places and history. I suppose someone can do a #forza post for Michael, whom we must keep fighting apparently, and Jules, who drools and not much else. Other tracks to be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Now is a good time to bring out your gifs and other pictures or links that we will probably use next year, for example: any maldonaderps the link to the anime f1 intro dreadlock marshall in funny hat (both years) Kimi stuff about having a poo poo, eating ice cream, knowing what he is doing the Canada bird Horny Horner Beautiful britney vettel crashing into a sign any really good overtakes are lewis photoshops and tweets #megajet someone wanted to put together a list of old races? throw that in too. whatever else that I can't remember right now  IF YOU WANT IT IN THE NEW OP, WRITE "notice me" [quote marks obviously not needed] SOMEWHERE ON YOUR POSTI am happy to curate this, but if you want it in, you've got to put the tag on or I'll probably miss it because I'm going to ctrl+f "notice me" to find content Oh, and everything is a suggestion. So if you don't want to include anything I mentioned, then don't. It's important that you are able to write your own thing, rather than feeling I'm prescriptive, because the patchwork nature is what we're aiming for. simplefish fucked around with this message at 07:48 on Mar 7, 2015 |

Butt Wizard posted:Jesus Christ i have the most important one. How much do you want? Can someone with archives pull up and post the teams/drivers summary from 2011, please? That one had good sections. They can be a bit longer than those were if you want, so 150-400 words as a rough guide (not a hard limit) (regardless of team, driver, or track). 120 as a minimum even if you got a nobody driver, just quote their Formula Funsies results if you can't think of anything else. And don't forget to send in those pics/links!

HJB posted:Here's my Malaysia thingy then. I can't really do funny for tracks (or at all, but tracks especially) so I went with facts instead. Oh yeah, notice me and all that. This is exactly the sort of thing! If anyone else is doing one, feel free to add in anything like tyre wear being a factor, whether it favours mechanical grip/Red Bull because of sweeping fast corners/Merc Engines because of straight line speed/no overtaking is possible at all ever/ even the weather Basically if you know it, throw it in. Also, if you don't know, don't worry, you'll have taught someone something regardless. If it's unsupported opinion, throw it in, because it's your track report, dammit! Also, turns out I'm thinking of this from previous years (not either of which was posted but thank you anyway because it's given me some more ideas!), which I saved as a word document when my wife started getting interested in F1. No idea who wrote it, but it gives a bit more detail than a few bullet points, which is the main thing:  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rev. Dr. Moses P. Lester posted:Took me a minute to figure out this was the username assignment for the writeups, and not just a free form random insult against Ferrari, Vettel and Kimi. Nice spot!

track day bro! posted:Exactly, If you want to do driver/team bios or whatever just use this very good and true example. If you don't want to do it, fine, don't do it. I've used the OPs to give new fans some idea of what f1 is about. I think having an OP is important, even if people are being directed to it rather than stumbling across it. And anyway, the fan base is growing, so maybe someone would prefer to read an op than risk getting their head bitten off by a snotty shitcunt like you in response to a newbie question. A few sentences (150-400 words) gives a good summary without being intimidating. I think spreading the workload around is a good idea. I dont have time to write a whole OP, and you're doing a great job of showing what a thankless task it can be. So rather than bitching about something you won't read or write, why not just shut up and let people who do want to be involved get on and write their bit.
