Personally I hope Mercedes wins every WDC until the sport finally takes its last dying breath.

Go watch formula E then

Nah.

In all honesty, I really do want to see Ferrari or SOMEONE catch up. As much as I am a fan of Lewis, I struggled to watch like half the races last year because it's just the same poo poo as when Vettel or Schumacher were dominating. Being a fan of the guy winning most of the races doesn't make it any more exciting.

Hell, I think I had more fun watching the Red Bull era because things were a bit loving closer.

not that i hate the current formula because i like it and think its really cool but the correct answer for F1 engines is "V10"

Diesel engines.

Quad Turbo V10 Diesels.

Also, I was quite liking the Channel 4 pre race chat, was nice to see DC and Wibbeh together again, and a fun podium. On that note, did Toto lock Lewis and Nico in a room and not let them out until they sorted their drama out?

Sky are doing a really poo poo job at commentating.

"Here's Lewis in for his pitstop!"

*timer clearly shows Rosberg is pitting*

"Where is Lewis going to come out??"

*Lewis drives past the pit exit*

"Oh, that's not bad for Lew-- Oh wait, sorry. Rosberg. IT WAS THE LIVE TIMING OKAY??"

E: I am so happy for Haas. Really great car they seem to have... and there we go seeing him passing Massa.

I hope they crash into each other an absurd amount of times and Max somehow becomes WDC.

Actually this would be agreeable.

Then Mercedes drop the team because they don't get results anymore, and Dacia buy the factory (good news!)

Remember that there are people in this day and age who refuse to wear seatbelts or motorcycle helmets.

Also "It's ugly". Who gives a gently caress? I would most rather nobody caught an errant wheel (or car) to the face and die.

Rosbergs problem just gives further evidence as to why the radio ban is crap. Even my dad who hates the guy thought it was bullshit that he's under investigation for that.

Did I miss anything?

Unrelated, but did some cheeky marshal rub goose fat into the surface at copse?

"Boring."

Just seems to be all the rage in this thread to post what their dads think about Nico and Lewis. :v:

I found myself at theirs this afternoon to watch it and remembered why I prefer watching it on my own.

CratSock posted:

I didn't even know the aeroscreen was a thing. Looks like a much better solution than the halo.

So I guess it's safe to assume we'll see halos implemented for the start of 2017.

The halo doesn't cause as much as an aerodynamic disturbance as the aeroscreen. Aeroscreen probably causes a) lots of drag b) disrupted airflow to the rest of the body and most importantly, the rear wing.

e: However, these cars were never designed with either Halo or Aeroscreen in place, so it makes sense that the cars performance was going to be impeded by them.

Gutierrez calls Hamilton disrespectful

He really does have the thinnest skin, but the main reason I linked this is because of:

Gutierrez posted:

"He should respect all of the competitors. You never know, maybe in the future I will be fighting for a championship with him, so he has to respect that."
