I just find it funny that for years they've been finding ways to slow the cars down, and make the tracks slower and safer with chicanes... and then suddenly make a bunch of sweeping changes to the cars which will make them faster, and then start cutting out the chicanes again.

I think Hamilton is a dickhead (though a very good driver who lost the wdc due to suspiciously high number of failures) but this thread is racist af and I'm just pointing that out.

I'm a die hard Lewis fan and even I'll ask for examples of this racism. Alot of people in this thread don't like Lewis because they don't like him as a person. Can we stop this poo poo of "I don't like this person" "OH BECAUSE HE'S NOT WHITE???"

Currently I'm in a scenario where I don't actually hate any driver. Even Vettel who I used to froth at the mouth with hatred towards I've warmed to. I couldn't hate Rosberg because he was just plain. There was nothing to hate.

Rosberg also beat Michael Schumacher 3 years running though, so does that mean that Scumacher is also a Fraud?

Nando gets all the cool toys.

BMW should come back to the sport, and paint the cars up like the art cars.

The new regulations for 2017 promised us more aggressive looking cars than the year before. To that affect, the FIA incorporated rules about the V shape of the front wing, the way the end plates of the rear wing should �flow�, and under what angle the side pods should be. Paragraph 3.8.8 says that that angle should be 75 degrees. These rules are meant to give the cars a fast, aggressive look when viewed from above.

This is where the new loophole comes in. With the birds eye view, it�s clear to see how Ferrari made its actual side pod under a 90 degree angle. The carbon work in front (but still incorporated) of the side pod is set under a 75 degree angle, thus following the rules. This enables Ferrari to make their side pod smaller than they appear on other cars. And it gives them more room between the barge boards and the actual air intake of the side pod. All this should be able to generate a better airflow towards them.

There will be a day. When that day comes I will be there. I will be there and I will yell loudly. Alot.

Also RBR's new sponsorship with Aston Martin is so.. it's kinda sad. Just the whoring they obviously still have to do.

Don't Aston Martin like... never turn a profit? Like, ever?

Alonso has the patience of a loving saint.

Hot diggety these things are quick.

Wow, I guess they'll have to slightly up the number of laps per race now?

Also, Liberty media is doing a good job.

Schumacher did a 1:15.022 and that was with the old layout without the chicane at the end.
