If you throwing Team Bio's into the mix add my name to the list, just so I can hope I get Ferrari and then write a truthful and positive team bio.

BBC are semi-confirming the rumours that VW are looking to come into F1, they are carrying out a feasbility study looking at how they could enter. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/formula1/30336569 One key point - quote:if it did enter F1 it would be with its own team based in Germany. So that's them hosed then, if they do actually enter.

Yeah the chopper took off about the same time as he left the track, its just with that kind of head injury the patient could die due to the pressure changes caused by flying.

I would be surprised if it is, given a lot of A light Orange / Orange Red would be a sensible choice. Wait this is McLaren so they wont go for the sensible so gently caress knows what they will go with.

Very unlike Ron Dennis in that regard, as Ron is a pure one place guy and a Winner.

be nice wicka posted:in joe's reddit thing he suggested that mclaren could be faster than mercedes by the end of the year so that's the end of my optimism for the season Would be a shock if the engine wasn't eventually better than the Merc given Honda have had hands on with the Merc engine last year assuming they don't need to change to much; when it finally comes good it should be a good engine. Just depends how good the car is then and McLaren lately haven't been great at that side of things.

Fumble posted:Notice Me Hasn't Sutil already started proceedings as well i.e. its not probably he is. People really do seem to have short memories in this thread, it was brought up a few months ago the lunacy of how many drivers Sauber were signing - think they had about 6 they have signed for this year. Unsurprisingly its come back to bite them and hate to say it hopefully will kill them off, as a team that acts like the complete shits they are deserves to cease to exist.

The list of drivers for the race has been published - https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B_4tiDiVIAIdIpm.jpg:large No Van Der Garde, so expect contempt of court proceedings first thing tomorrow with no doubt asset seizure soon after.

So we could have a 16 car grid at the start of the season. Wonder how exactly the 18 car rule is worded, i.e. when does the season start in terms of it.

Fumble posted:How much is Sauber worth now? a 2013 article valued it at $155, It cant be worth that much now after last season. If Van Der Garde was awarded damages for the loss of 2 seasons of his professional carer, emotional damage, breach of contract, breaking a high court order + the £10m he is owed. Would it be too far fetched for his father in law to settle up and buy the team out? There has been suggestion in a few places this is exactly what VDG's company (which is what is bringing the court case, and is probably owned in part by his Father in Law) is aiming to do. Would make a lot of sense as its about the only way of him getting a drive this year is if his backers own what is/was Sauber.
