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.

>>64142405
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.
top fucking kek:
>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.

Or even a particularly memorable sound.

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.

>>64161755

>>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.

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.

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).

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.

I think Bottas is awesome, one of my favourite drivers without a doubt. He's fast, he's serious, he's a clean and fair racer, and he strikes me as a stand-up guy.
Kimi doesn't cut it anymore. Yes he's entertaining in interviews but he can't drive for shit these days. Has-been.
>>64181740
Bottas is one of my favs but
>He's fast
Not that much faster than Massa who's in the twilight of his career, even factoring in his shit luck this year
>he's serious
Just Finnish autism 2bh
>he's a clean and fair racer
Not particularly. He likes to give about half a metre too little room when wheel-to-wheel and has a habit of taking the outside line and forcing the other driver to give up their line when Valttteri wasn't entitled to it in the first place (i.e. Brazil 2013, Mexico 2015)
>and he strikes me as a stand-up guy.

>That's a terrible reason to get rid of someone.
Yeah but Sir Frank has a one-strike-and-you're-out approach to drivers, bc he sees them as expendable. If you do a single thing wrong in his eye then you no longer have a drive and he'll replace you with someone just as fast and cheaper to boot.

>>64132377
It's called "formula" for a reason. There are a certain amount of restrictions and rules which define the 'Formula' and teams compete within those rules
>>64147370
I miss Juan Pablo so fucking much.
;_;
>>64185692
Wrong
>>64185692
'Formula' just means it is a Formula car
A Formula car having only 1 seat and open wheels.
GP2 and IndyCar (despite how much they try) are formula series in the same way F1, F2, F3 and F4 are
The opposite is sports cars.
A sports car has 2 seats and has closed wheels.
An LMP1 car is as much a sports car as a GT car because it has a second seat. It is just filled with electronics and you can't physically fit in it.
>>64188999
the term 'Formula car' came around because of the regulations, also known as the /Formula/, that made up the different series sanctioned by the FIA. The series itself doesn't have to be named Formula JeanTodt'sAgeingBallsack to be a Formula series so I'm not sure what you're getting at by mentioning IndyCar and GP2.
>>64189228
Yes I just like pointing out that definition so that people get up in arms when the FIA try to introduce closed wheels (and maybe more people will write to the FIA to get Mercedes wins with the W196 streamliner wins officially thrown out)
>Malaysian Grand Prix in October
Fuck
>>64190667
What does it mean?
>>64188999
You're confusing 'single-seater' and 'formula'. The term 'formula' does refer to the limiting regulations that define the rules. GP2 and IndyCar are formula series, because they have a set of rules and restrictions that define the cars of that series.
Not because they're open-top single seaters.
>>64190941
Yes but that is the outright definition of the generic term 'Formula Car' in the sameway the opposite is an actual definition of the generic term 'Sports Car'
A 'formula series' as you said is called is because of the rules and regulations. A 'Formula car' is just the generic name for all single seater, open wheelers.
Though I would not call GP2 a 'formula series' as it is a 'spec series'.
You can have a 'formula car' in a 'non-formula series' (a la GP2) but you can not have a 'sports car' in a 'formula series'.
Because a 'sports car series' is defined by the fact that the cars in it are 'Sports Cars' but a 'formula series' is defined by the fact that there is a series of rules and regulations that make up the "formula".

Because they make up for it by taking wide-angle, zoomed out shots of the track which focus more on trackside adverts than they do on the actual cars.

People rich enough to piss away $20-200M a year and not be effected by it, of which whom also happen to like racing.
This is pretty much how any premier racing series exists anymore. I mean, in Nascar, Haas only barely broke even in 2014, y'know, when his team won the Championship and all.
>>64182097
drugs & racing are great. Probably mostly because I enjoy racing in the first place, but drugs really make it a different and unique thing. Weed & beer helps F1 & Nascar races be so much more interesting. I love getting stoned and looking up/learning about all the engineering going into every team & car, while watching it on TV, where it's all playing out physically on the track
Formula E, GP2, & Aussie V8s (anything with lots of overtakes & rather chaotic/intense racing) are fucking perfect on psychedelics. Those combinations have been my favorite part of racing in 2015, I don't even know how to properly describe it..
IndyCar is also great with all of the above, but I'm still trying to recoup after watching Pocono on an 1/8th of shrooms. Gotta be sorta careful with the psychs I guess.

I know; my point was that that's completely false. If anything, he gets shoved off.
>>64202917
When you're done shitting up the Ganges, try watching the races. Everytime Rosberg has to overtake someone, he makes a way too optimistic dive on the inside line, locks up forcing the other driver to keep going off track instead of turning.
>>64181272
>Deletraz
''And what is Deletraz doing?'' Good times.
>>64203141
Literally when? He hardly overtakes, but when he does mess it up, he runs wide himself.
The only time he drove anyone off was Canada last year.
>>64181944
He was fast but inconsistent, and under-performed at McLaren.
>>64203567
>under-performed at McLaren.
I have a feeling that Ron Benis is to blame for that. His autism did not mesh well with JPM's rather lax attitude.

The new one is in the case, but I've had issues with the 8800 GTX that my friend gave me. I ended up swapping in a lower powered 6XXX series for the purpose of testing.
The PSU rewire didn't work so I had to buy another one, which I'll fit into the old case. Fans, and front panel left, but I'll have to reflow the GPU to see if I can get some life back in it once more.

>>64212628
What is your plan for network setup? How are you going to stream?
>>64212937
I'm not 100% sure at the moment actually. Mainly due to some confusion on my part and the lack of hardware to test at the moment.
Initially I was thinking about a form of multicasting. I was trying to emulate the way Acestream (p2p) works so that each player that downloads the stream can then upload it to another client. I'm very sure this is possible, it's just takes time to configure.
The other option is some form of HTTP streaming, which may also be achieveable since I've got a quick enough upload (100/15), it's just the streaming side that I'm a bit confused about or unsure of. Maybe some form of live stream over ustream or something like that, or direct http streaming.
It's all dependent on the quality of the stream, as it will limit what races I can show, due to file size. I know we all want to see Canada 2011 once more, I'll try and make that the first stream, and I'll use Japan 2000 as a test or something.

He was only miles ahead from Hungary onward, when Massa went from being great to being utter shit, which is something he's quite well known for, particularly if the car has poor low speed grip (which was the 2015 Williams' biggest weakness after they stopped developing the car very early). Before that, Massa was beating him. Same goes for 2014.

So he gets a 1 million dollar electronic music making machine then some random musician probably gets paid to teach him to press some buttons on it.
Eventually he will create some random noises that he will call 'music' then considering how self absorbed he is he will think the best thing anyone has ever created.
Never mind all those artists that spend their life practicing and have actual talent in this area, this is going the next big thing because he is such a special and unique person.
Or at least that what all his fan-base will think when its released.
One year later though, nobody will even remember it existed.

then again the lyrics are just the product of privileged upbringing combined with oppressed mindset and the complete lack of social awareness brought on by his years at mclaren and thus are absolutely shit

>At that time the Honda power curve had a shape that meant that the optimum shift RPM varied from gear to gear so we conducted some simulations with a view to putting lights / audio indications in the car to help the driver with gear shifts if there was laptime to be reduced. The predictions were then compared to on car logged data for Jacques Villeneuve and Ricardo Zonta. This analysis showed that Jacques Villeneuve consistently shifted gear at exactly the right point, even when the differences in acceleration were minuscule (5th to 6th or 6th to 7th) and would not gain any laptime from having any driver aids in this area. Whereas Ricardo Zonta was inconsistent in his gear shift points and would reduce his laptime with a gearshift aid.
Based JV
>>64237878
he's underrated, anyone who rates damon hill or above him is dumb - he belongs just above mansell and piquet
>>64236929
I am finding it very hard to adjust to a post-Jack Brabham world. There was an interview aired of him the other day, done just months before he died, and I just felt so strange watching it.

Reaching a bit, IMO.
>>64238107
people usually rate hakkinen around piquet, and villeneuve is definitely around hakkinen
>>64238122
I'm of the view that Piquet is underrated. Not very, but definitely a bit underrated.
/f1/ is slooooow again. Bump with the beautiful Mild Seven/Renault colored R26.
What is you guys opinion on the "Performance Weights" used by DTM? Do you think that would work in F1?
>>64239265
it would make the races more exciting and equal, but that isn't the point of f1
I use to hate the 70s car designs, but I've grown to really like them.
>>64239333
>>64239265
Performance weights (what are terrible, terrible name, probably to make it sound less crappy) are bullshit. I've never liked it, in any series.
>>64239375
blancpain BoP is pretty good cause all the cars have different strengths, so when they make the laptimes all around equal the strengths become what really matters
if blancpain actually mattered tho i'd probably hate it, its fun but it isn't real racing
>>64235990
Cevert, Depallier, Pironi and Bianchi were all World Champions-in-the-making, but lots of freaky /x/-tier shit had followed them all throughout their careers.
>>64239319
>it would make the races more exciting and equal
Isn't what everybody who complaints about boring races want? But I get what you're trying to say.
>>64239333
Those back tires look awesome.
>>64239477
gonna engage my autism here for a sec
the people who want that should be watching indycar or something. that line of thinking is what gave us DRS and made the cars look shit just so they'd race closer
f1 is (ironically i guess) a slow-paced sport both during an event and in terms of evolving storylines, casuals in race threads or on social media generally want football-level constant action and dramatic narratives, but they are looking for that in the wrong place. storylines in f1 play out over 5 or 10 year periods, doing anything to make it faster always seems so contrived and it cheapens the sport overall
i think the draw of f1 to most of the non-casual fans is the romanticism of it. just think of all the big historical points - ferrari in the schumi years, senna/prost at mclaren, alonso in the early 2000s, and think about how big and romantic those things seem.
if a bunch of rules were brought in to make the racing and the championships more exciting, it would be impossible for things to have the same magnitude as those things for a bunch of reasons, but especially because it would be so much more artificial. we would be breaking with the 80+ year tradition in such a way that it would never feel like we were seeing history in the way it did back then, and new stuff that happened would be seen only as like a footnote, even if it were more exciting at the time.
my nephew once said that if someone complains about domination in f1 there's a 90% chance they're secretly watching for the crashes, and maybe its an exaggeration but i think it sums it up pretty well

Pironi would have walked to the 1982 title if that accident at Hockenheim didn't destroy both his legs.
And speaking about French-speaking drivers and curses, Gilles Villeneuve was also seen as a future World Champion, if he didn't fatally crash in Belgium 1982.
>>64239265
why make a better car if it will just be weighed down?
>>64238122
>saying a guy that had a couple of good seasons with the best car of its generation and then faded into oblivion is above Hakkinen, Piquet and Mansell.
Kill yourself. At least if you wer talking about Gilles, it would be understandable, but Jacques was a complete failure from 98 onwards.

>Won '81 fairly

>Would have won '86 if Williams had upheld his contractual Number 1 status (which they agreed to give him)
I'll give you '83 because of rocket fuel, but the other two were earned, and '86 should also have been his title. He only lost because Williams gave him Number 1 status in his contract, and then didn't actually implement it, favoring the slower Brit instead.
Not to mention that he slowed beyond '87 because of his vision issues, and by his own admission he only stuck around for the money.
