New engines edition
So Bernie and Jean Todt want to introduce simpler engines, and it seems like the most likely thing the teams will agree to is removing the MGU-H (which recovers heat from the turbo and converts it to electric engine) since it's expensive and one of the main points of performance difference between current engines. Bernie's throwing a fit about all of it.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/35059767
Is this good? Should they just go back to V8s? Should they bring back V8s alongside the current V6s under an equivalency formula? Let's discuss.
>>64130869
>downgrading engines
Isn't F1 supposed to be like the forefront of automotive technology?
Going backwards even to allow a few more teams to race just seems wrong.
Let teams build engines in any configuration they want, provided it fits the chassis and meets minimum weight and fuel requirements.

Now I know some of you are going to REEEEEE about Haas in 5th, but seriously, they're getting almost everything aside from the chassis and cooling from Ferrari with 2016 engines, they've been planning this entry for probably like 4 years now and have been doing assloads of testing, and I still think Renault is going to fuck up the engines for them and RBR. Also they have le cheeky podium man Grosjean who is actually a really good, competent driver

16 year old Niko Kari confirmed for Toro Rosso seat by 2019. He was accepted to Red Bull's junior team and will race in F3 next season.
>>64130869
F1 is supposed to have the cutting edge in motor technology. Why should F1 appeal to the lowest common denominator and remove something that is "hard to make" but integral to modern and future engine technology? Why not go back to two-stroke engines so the shit-tier manufacturers also get a chance at winning the championship?
>>64141823
The real issue is that, compared to him and pre-slump Raikkonen, every single Finn that's either made it or is on their way to making it has been mediocre, including Bottas. His obsession with the latter is starting to get frustrating, and I can see him being the same with others as well. As much as it's nice of him to do that, it might damage his reputation quite a bit in the long run.
Are the rumors that Finns don't like Bottas m
>>64141823
>>64141843
Are the rumors that Finns don't like Bottas much after the events of this season true? I've been hearing that a lot in these threads over the last couple of months.*
>>64141848
Bottas just came out of nowhere for some, and the legend around Kimi is as strong as ever in Finland even though he's had some abysmal seasons.
I'm sure people will eventually accept Bottas as a True Finnish Hero™, but not as long as Kimi is around.
And personally I still have faith in Valtteri, and I seriously hope he can get his first win soon so people will shut up.
>>64141904
>Bottas came out of nowhere
Seriously! He won GP3, spent a year as Williams Test Driver and was groomed for the seat. It was one of the most expected arrivals.
If anything, Gimi was the one that came out of nowhere
Personally I like Bottas, I don't know what problems the Finns have.
>>64132377
>downgrading engines
It's not a downgrade. The MGU-H/K was something tacked on because the engine manufacturers wanted it, because their road cars have it. Renault wanted I4 engines and Ferrari wanted V12s It has nothing to do with racing. They can literally turn a dial (fuel flow limit) to get back any lost power. And the cars will be both lighter and more reliable.
>Isn't F1 supposed to be like the forefront of automotive technology?
No it's supposed to be the fastest motorsport class. Which it is.
>>64141934
What I mean is no one cared about Bottas when he was in GP3 or a Williams test driver, or when he drove the dog Williams. Then he suddenly starts getting podiums "out of nowhere" but people still don't know him that well.

See how big the difference between Merc and Renault is? That's with regulations that already dictate like 85% of the engine. Now imagine the gap if they they had 90% freedom instead of 15%. That's the main reason, not regulatory. Same reason all cars run on identical tyres.
>>64142463
kinda what i meant, the teams would throw a shitfit after the first test and everyone but the best team and maybe ferrari would quit.
>>64142103
That does not at all look legit. Why Euro's are used when the team is based in Britain and the US Dollar is a more common currency in international business is beyond me. Still, would be nice to see Manor get a nice cash injection for fielding a not-entirely-shitty driver.

>With his strong Essex accent and love of wearing his baseball cap back to front, Stevens is a distinctive figure, at odds with some of the privileged, well-spoken drivers on the grid

he sounds like a wigger.
also: dubs and team willy somehow finish second in the wcc next year.
>>64142732
I don't know why people think he's a talented driver. OK he had a fairly good year in 2015.
But his wins came from Reverse Grid races and his record before GP2 is nothing spectacular.
>At least he's not as bad as Lord Stevens
>>64142923
I mean, really
>>64141904
Maybe people are just reasonable enough to understand that these last two seasons don't take anything away from Kimi's past achievements. Few drivers perform at a constant level in F1, and when they do they're often below the maximum pace of other drivers (Alonso, even Schumacher in 1999).
As for Bottas, it could just be a personality thing. The guy irks me quite a bit, frankly.
And they say F1 is (used to be) loud
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTMN_KobQF4
>>64143163
I couldn't even watch GP2 at Silverstone last year because the noise was hurting my ears. Besides nostalgia, I have no idea why they want louder cars again.
>>64143180
Bring earplugs next time retard, You can usually even get them for free at motorsport events. Also I miss hearing the cars well before/after they pass the camera. It's definitely not as big of a deal as some faggots try to make it, but some of the atmosphere is lost
>>64143414
>having to bring earplugs for something that you want to hear
It's like you people want to torture yourselves one way or another.
>>64143770
Earplugs doesn't make it go silent retard. With a more expensive pair (10£) it's literally like you just turned down the volume on your TV.
There's a perfect remedy but you still want to bitch, that makes you a cunt
>>64142363
Because modern racing punishes large innovation, mostly in F1. The reason for this being a problem in F1 and not as much in sportscars currently is because Sportscar racing officials write better rules. They write better rules though because of experience and previous catastrophic failure, something F1 has never quite had to persevere.

>See how big the difference between Merc and Renault is? That's with regulations that already dictate like 85% of the engine.
You can't use this as an argument because the comparison is wrong. The current disparity in F1 goes back to the mid 2000s with Mercedes playing the long game. They dumped millions in research and man ours to develop the hybrid technology they're currently using to dominate. The resources to develop the tech are outside the realm of what constructors typically invest in a season. Mercedes seized the opportunity to research emerging technology and used its position to shape regulations that suited the research they'd done.
Years ago Mercedes built the infrastructure and trained engineers for years to put them in the position they're currently in. That's why I think the comparison shouldn't be made against more open regs. It's possible for this to happen again but it is highly unlikely for such a large gamble to be available in the near future.
With open regs come balance of performance which has its own drawbacks and detractors but WEC seems to have gotten the equivalence of technology down to near perfection for P1.

With a your apparent knowledge of the superlicense rules it is strange that you don't know that they can hold a vote to allow exceptions if they have completed 300km in a F1 car, which Haryanto has.
>>64145926
>With a your apparent knowledge of the superlicense rules
I'm not claiming to know everything. But yeah, I know about the vote.
My point remains though, there are dirvers who've had far better campaigns than him (in previous years as well)
Look at his results >>64142932 it's not like he's a shining young star.
Especially considering Vandoorne and Rossi (the guys who finished 1st / 2nd) are also in with a shout of the seat.
...did he ever even have a chance at F1? Totally forgot about him
>>64146161
Nope, he's always been an overrated little shit, but he had to have his ass handed to him by KMag (and Vandoorne) in FR3.5 to realize that.

his name is rio and bulldog-face stevens is the worst line-up of 2016. i can't support manor anymore. fitzpatrick may have 'saved' them, but he seems like a cunt and the people from day 1 are leaving.

>>64147066
What exactly do you expect from the smallest budget in the paddock?
>>64147121
to be honest, i'm disappointed in your country for not finding money to put rossi in place of stevens. if that happened, the line-up would be okay.
>>64146878
Maybe, I haven't heard GP2 in person. The post was about loudness though and the F1 V8's must have been louder. I'm not one who gripes about the sound of the new engines, I think it's an interesting sound, but in no way does quieter = better. As the other anon said, you can always use earplugs if it hurts your ears. Personally I've never used ear plugs, I don't even use them for top fuel dragsters. I'll probably have ear problems at some point but it's totally worth it

If F1 is about who has the most money to buy the best kit, then don't worry about engines.
If F1 is about racing, then they need to come up with an engine standard that ANY team can afford. That goes for every other piece of kit as well.
As it stands now, F1 isn't about racing, it's about qualifying, and since more than 60% of the races are won by the driver sitting on the pole, there's really no reason to watch the race.
Without a deliberate decision to mandate some kind of equipment parity across the board, F1 will continue to blow ass.

>>64161785
Comparing anyone to Ericsson, who managed to win only one race and finish 6th in GP2 in a fucking DAMS, does not elevate above "not good", and certainly not into "lower midfield".

That's actually more of a fact than a stereotype. Portuguese are GOAT at laying cobbles, Belgium has a lot of cobblestone roads, we used to import Portuguese people to build them, now we just hire Portuguese companies. It stems from Roman times if I'm not mistaken.

Plz post results when they happen, for those unable to stream.

Mika +1,37
WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT.
RND 1 HAMILTON WINS OVER HAKKINEN +1.3 SECONDS.
Is it just me or are there crackling issues with the youtube stream's audio?

>champion for each leg
I like it. Maybe not explicitly call it a "champion," but some sort of recognition and trophy
>>64166339
>>64166344
Sad, but expected. He's 47.
>>64166356
theres definitely some audio issues
>>64166078
I like this collection of tracks. But Monaco being the end means a dull procession to end the season.
Still, good potential calendar
>>64166279
It was fun to drive in games/sims. Just that track in general
>>64166078
Won't it be too cold for some of those late Euro races? Euro leg would have to be in the middle, but then Montreal in early October? You'd probably have to move the entire season up 4-6 weeks to do this leg business and/or do more week to week racing.
>>64166519
>It was fun to drive in games/sims
So was India. Wasn't a particularly great race to watch, though.
>>64166458
Yeah, I considered that but the prestige of Monaco is the reason I put it at the end. It would be a little disappointing racing-wise if it were to be the title-decider, but it isn't any worse than ending in Abu Dhabi. Maybe swap with Monza?
>>64166078
Wait. Argentina has an F1 track?
>>64166730
I'd actually put the European leg in the middle, much like it is now, simply because Brazil is GOAT for title deciders.
If it has to be Europe, maybe Silverstone, because of all the teams being located thereabouts, and the depth of Britain's association with F1.

Yeah, Buenos Aires has a circuit. Pretty nice, had a decent flow. Held races in the 50s, then again in the late 90s.
Further results from Stars and Cars?

German Hamilton win vs Alesi, now awful live music

Would love to see a Wankel engine in F1

verstappen and sainz seem to be good friends and they are both very good drivers
They don't need a three-leg championship to get more people interested in F1, they need to make it more accessible. The TV times are one thing, but it will always be at a bad time for half the world.
They need to offer streaming of live races for anyone and they need past race available to watch. Also it would help if Bernie didn't keep forcing tracks out of business with his insane fees (see COTA).

Oscar Galvez, Termas de Rio Hondo and Portero de los Funes are not FIA-homologated, since WTCC left TdRH.
Termas de Rio Hondo is obviously FIM Grade 1 (since RossiGP races there), the only FIA-homologated circuit in Argentina is the Buenos Aires circuit used by Formula E (grade 3).

>Speculation in the Italian newspaper, Gazzetta dello Sport, suggests that Haas F1 will use a yellow colour scheme similar to the one in Ferrari’s famous Prancing Horse logo
will renault also be yellow?
>>64147636
>implying mercedes would fork over more than €3mil when they can just put him in dtm for six more seasons
>>64170685
Gazetta is just baseless speculation, mate. They're one of the least reliable papers around. Haas will be red, black and white like their Nascar team.
>>64170817
>red, black and white
Then what will Manor be?
>>64170878
probably similar to their livery this year
>>64170685
Don't worry, they're not going to be anywhere near each other during the races.
Ayyyyy

Yes, exactly

China 2013 was good
>>64165461
Sainz isn't as bad as people think, the guy had some godawful luck in the second half of the year.

2011 was one of the best dry races in recent memory.

m8- LMP1's are faster and have more corner grip
If F1 doesn't step their shit up LMP1 will be the global premiere class.
>>64175369
yet F1 cars still produce quicker laptimes
>>64175369
>LMP1 will be the global premiere class.
Unless they make LMP1 cars do sprint racing it will always be a niche.
And the FIA are starting to limit them anyway.
>>64175420
Barely. And there is a huge weight difference.
>>64174759
2006 and 2007 were bretty gud

FIA is a singular entity.

Can wagsguy confirm this? Afaik he was actually married so that would be a bit of a surprise. But who can resist these eyes?
Also any news on Jenson?
>>64176007
It was WAGSguy who posted that so it's true.

Could be one of the things that helped F1's ratings here in the states this year, is that NBC-SN showed every race both live and re-broadcasted later that day at a consistent time when the country is awake.
I know, because somehow my fucking DVR always ended up recording the re-broadcast, and I'd have to wait to watch my precious F1. Not to mention avoid /f1/ and pretty much anything I do online till I had ;_;
..plus it was annoying as fuck when they let the winner slip during the Indycar or Nascar race.
>>64170685
red with black wings like the late 80s/early 90s ferraris would be nice.
there is history of ferraris racing in blue and white as well... but that may be too close to the current sauber colors.
>>64179208
>but that may be too close to the current sauber colors.
funnily enough, Renault's livery next year will be based off of the e.DAMS Formula E livery. At least according to Scarbs, whose track record when it comes to this sort of stuff is miles better than Gazetta's or James Allen's.

Singapore seems like the most exhausting track
>>64181181
monza is the most exhausting
because it's the most percent of the lap spent at full throttle
so more exhaust fumes
