Always you need some new challenges when you get tired from one situation. I think McLaren sometimes is not the easiest place to live, so I think he will be much more happy now in Mercedes than what he was in the past" – Fernando Alonso, Ferrari. This one seems relevant too.

Butt Wizard posted:I'll write a bio for what it's worth, if you need extra hands. People talk about GP2 sometimes in the F1 threads, you're more than welcome to, but they don't get that much interest to begin with. That's probably a reason to include them in the F1 thread rather than a deterrent though.

Dudley posted:No it didn't. Lewis had two race ending mechanical issues, nico had three. No? Lewis retired three times due to issues with his car, it just so happened that one of those times the issues were caused by being run into by Nico. Nico also only retired twice, though I supposed finishing in 14th might as well be considered "race ending", even if it technically isn't.

autism chariot posted:Kamui is no worse than half the pay drivers in the field and can be very exciting to watch when given a car that can stand up in the mid field. He's also pretty popular so I don't understand why he can't get enough cash behind him. It's a shame. Kamui/Alonso for McLaren 2015, this is why it's taking so long for them to announce the drivers.

I had a dream last night that I lived on Staten Island, but was staying in Brooklyn so I could learn how to shoot a gun. Also the place in Brooklyn had vagrants which the police came and terrorized until they left. I felt bad because one of them had a dog that the police dogs scared

Lucasar posted:Hey thread I started watching F1 this last year and it is hilarious. My Dad used to watch it when I was a kid so I figured I'd give it a shot, and it's just as dull as it used to be, but now I'm old enough to fall asleep in the middle of the race, which makes it a little more bearable. Here is what an uninitiated dweeb makes of the various drivers and cars: I think you just saved someone 5 minutes on next season's OP.

Pablo Bluth posted:She makes Max Chilton look like a biologically engineered Senna-Prost-Mansell hybrid. With a single career high of 13 (next best result 17), she stepped aside for the final two weekends of last year. Dean Stoneman took over and promptly managed a pole, two wins and a second. Sounds like a perfect test driver then, she clearly set the car up perfectly for him.
