track day bro! posted:

I always wondered, is team ATS pretty much the german wheel manufacturer called ATS?

Yep, same company. And if you see "Abba" on the car, yes, that Abba.

It was done again twice later, Rial and Fondmetal were both wheel manufacturers with lovely F1 teams.

People would lose their poo poo but one way to solve it would be "If you go off where there would have been gravel you have to do a drive through".

Bit like the MotoGP long lap.

I wonder if they'd rather pay that than base their operations in Europe. Either way lol my country sucks.

It's not really enough, especially refundable, to warrant building a base elsewhere.

But if we ever get new teams they're going to look at that and think Germany looks pretty bloody good certainly.

Amazing just how dogshit that film sounds.


I only found out about this one yesterday.

"Through his bond with his owner, aspiring Formula One race car driver Denny, golden retriever Enzo learns that the techniques needed on the racetrack can also be used to successfully navigate the journey of life."

the story of the year will be mock Schumacher finishing a valiant 19th place several seconds in front of the problematic Russian guy while ppl proclaim him to be the future of the sport

That's basically the story of George Russell's career before Bahrain and it worked for him.

I was gonna ask, I know F1 has always been a rich kid's sport, but how recent is the trend of daddies literally buying their sons seats or even their entire teams?

Buying seats, loving forever.

Buying teams, not so much. But way back in the day when things were simpler, the failsons simply set up a team from scratch with daddy's money instead.
