the only tracks worse for actual /racing/ are singapore, abu dhabi and shanghai
hungary only provides a good grand prix when it's chaotic, and the track doesn't matter at all in a chaotic race.

You think Monaco is better for racing than Hungary? You can overtake without DRS at Hungary.
>>64292745
there's one corner on the whole track that is conducive to overtaking. it's called monaco without walls for a reason. there has never been a good race there that wasn't down to crashes left right and centre, and every other race is decided by tyre wear with zero on track battling.
meanwhile monaco has much more battles for position and because it is so punishing if you make a mistake the quality of the racing is far higher even though overtakes are hard to come by
>>64292501
I'm giving FE 4 more years before I can judge it or not. The potential is there, but the teams and manufacturers are fighting the limits of the technology behind electric cars, which is why they're so slow compared to just about any gasoline-powered single-seater.
On the other hand, in 4 years the rulebook for Formula E is supposed to be wide-fucking-open and I want to see what that would look like...

i'm not saying 2015 wasn't a good race, i'm saying it didn't have good rac/ing/. any circuit can replicate that race, while you'll only get a canada 2011 (for example) at canada.

Anyway, F1 will no longer be casted on public television here in Spain from next season on so I guess I will sadly see less races. I'll try to watch some online but it will never be the same

Can you explain why Hungary 2015 was not good racing?
>kek, it's literally one of th worst ones.
you're thinking of Barcelona
>>64292997
Fortunately we will have discussions here and link will be hopefully easy to find and share.
But as I said, looking for streams and expecting them to work properly will never compare to just turning on the tv
>>64293121
to me the worst races of the year were the ones I don't remember
and I do remember hungary
>>64293125
The same Ace Stream has been working for every single race this season.
Shit's easy yo
>>64292997
There's no online season pass for F1 like WEC and other modern racing series is there?
>>64293121
catalunya isn't as bad as hungary. it meets fia track width regulations instead of being 8 metres fucking wide, has elevation change, has more than one straight and doesn't have the same corner 4 times in a row. the chicane ruined the track but it's nowhere near as awful a track.
>Can you explain why Hungary 2015 was not good racing?
a race whose only battles for position result in contact and forcing a driver 5 car widths off the track is not good racing wise. spectacle wise? yeah, it was pretty good by that metric alone because nobody saw mclaren finishing ahead of ever mercedes powered car, the mercs not finishing in the top 5, vettel winning a second race and red bull getting a double podium. but as far as the battling was concerned it was only better than the races like australia, china, canada and japan where literally NOTHING happened. the hungaroring just doesn't encourage good racing and f1 has outgrown it as a venue.
>>64293217
>F1
>doing something useful with the internet
Lmao no
>>64293121
I actually think that Barcelona is BY FAR the most boring circuit. That doesn't take away the fact that, for me, Hungary comes close.

>>64293121
Take a look back to Bahrain 2014. It had constant wheel-to-wheel racing and cars going side by side pretty much every lap. Even this year's race had a good amount. Cars can do this at Bahrain because the circuit isn't as narrow as a go-kart track and you don't have to be 2 seconds faster than the car ahead to stick your front wheel alongside by the time the next corner comes along.
Hungary on the other hand is impossible for cars to go side by side. If the car ahead is less than 2 seconds a lap slower than yours, you have no chance to overtake. It takes no skill to hold a car behind at Hungary. At Bahrain you can be challenged into almost any corner. At Hungary you can only do this if you make enough contact for one driver to get investigated by the stewards.
>>64293861
Why don't they just race on ovals if all you want is wide tracks for side by side
>>64293728
How can people find Nascar enjoyable to watch?
>>64293917
There's more strategy in it than an F1 race.
>>64293940
hardly
>>64293917
you watch the first 20 laps, fall asleep, and watch the last 20
"NASCAR naps"
>>64292624
What about the pornstars?
>>64293891
ovals are essentially one giant, curving straight tho, and 40 cars swapping slipstream for 2 hours is a very different breed of racing to F1. monza is the closest to an oval f1 goes to and the slipstream trading rarely makes for interesting races
in F1 you have a wide mix of hairpins, sweepers, esses, chicanes, straights and other twists, compared to an oval which is two or three left hand turns separated by a straight. you can't defend from a faster car on an oval, you can't take different lines through different corners to catch your rival off guard, you can't beat them in a traction zone, you can't make your car wide enough to block them from taking the outside line and then loiter on the apex just enough to make them back off.
there's more challenge to making an overtake through eau rouge or the senna s than on an oval even if making it stick is the hard part
>>64294027
>you watch the first 20 laps, fall asleep, and watch the last 20
change 20 to 5 and you just described every F1 race since 2014.

It's more clever than that, they're just allowing Automobile Club d'Italia to change their statute to fund the GP from the income other then their sport activities.

>>64293861
Thinking on it, what is the general consensus with regards to Bahrain now? The addition of DRS has completely revitalized the circuit, and every single one of the last 4 races was good, if not excellent.
If it were built in Europe I bet people would be loving it now.
let's just take a moment and appreciate the memes that mchondshit provided us in 2015. only source of true amusement in 2015, the year of the dark hiphop nigshit.

>>64298120
>>64298764
If they stick with it and keep making improvements I could see it being pretty cool some day, they theoretically can go faster since there's no pilot.
This is a supplement series to Formula E anyway so I think they will be nice together.
So, what is the point of the clusterfuck of new tyre regulations if Pirelli choose the same fucking three compounds for the first three races? I mean, wasn't it intended to force variety and different strategies?

What happened to Dean Stoneman? He was a rookie F2 champion, and was 2nd in GP3 last year across two teams. This year, in a full season of Formula Renault 3.5, in a DAMS, and against a weak field, he didn't win a single race and ended up sixth.

I always liked James Allen as the pit lane reporter and his journalism is top notch, but I never enjoyed his commentary.
Who will ITV hire though? I really like the Ben Edwards and DC combo, but I suppose they'll want a new lineup.
>>64304360
Allan McNish and maybe Jack Nicholls (from Formula E) for commentary alongside an established ITV broadcaster like Gavin Emmett or whoever. Wouldn't be surprised if they went with Jonathan "PROBLEMS" Legard tho.
Nicki Shields for trackside reporting (i.e. Lee/trackside Pinks) and Jennie Gow for general presenting (i.e Suzie/studio Pinks)
DC will most likely go to Sky if he continues with UK coverage, can't see him going to ITV at all.
>>64304433
>DC will most likely go to Sky
Does that mean we'll finally be rid of Crofty?
>>64304460

>>64306026

What was the last time there was a big crash in the areas in red? In the 60s or 70s? As far as I remember, they killed Hockenheim because of safety concerns.
>>64313096
It was a split trip with the other half spent somewhere else in greece.
Went to Olympia and Delphi.
Nice place.
>>64313146
>>64313096
Oh and we went to some island which I really can't remember
>>64313136
How fucking originl. Call the turn on the North " North Turn "
>>64313202
The bottom one is the 'Sudkurve' not Opel.
'Ost' is of course the Eastkurve and the old Westkurve got bypassed when John hugenholtz shortened it.
>>64313136
from what i heard the track was shortened to its current form because fia deemed it too long compared to most modern (the tilkedromes began to appear en masse then) so they threatened to discontinue it unless they shorten it
that and also apparently many drivers complained that the long straights would cause a lot of cars in the 90s to break down due to engine and transmission failures
makes sense i suppose but i also still prefer the original circuit
>>64313411
Nah Hockenheimring was in length. (Spa is basically the limit)
Originally when asked to update the facilities at the circuit tilke just wanted to widen the circuit in the forest to FIA spec.
The government and circuit owners though asked for as little deforestation to happen as possible and for the outer forest to be connected to the inner forest.
They also wanted more seats, better angles for cameras, better angles for fans at the track and a shorter circuit to reduce maintenance cost plus a load of other inane shit.
>>64313493
>>64313411
>"The old Hockenheimring was a fast-lane track with long straights," Tilke explains. "There was something very special about it, about how rare its layout was, so we wanted therefore to keep as much as possible of the old track.
>"The original idea was just to broaden the existing track according to current safety regulations, and to keep the track to its original length. At that time the restrictions and possibilities the site offered were not clear however and the idea eventually proved unfeasible.
>"Firstly, there was a doctrine to save forests, and to even merge the enclosed section of trees with the adjacent forest, so chopping down trees had to be kept to an absolute minimum. That produced a second constraint: we had to use as little area as possible for the new track. Then of course we had to factor in financial resources and a tight timescale.
>"The task became to design something new, on the existing site, and make it more interesting and accessible for visitors, all without impacting upon the woodland. Today's track layout is the result of that intense idea exchange and development process, conducted alongside the Hockenheim management."
>>64313575
If Tilke gets the 2018 contract for the redesign of Spa I am literally going to go there with a shovel and try and bury it until they stop me.
>>64313598
Just bury your whole body there and hold a piece of cardboard in which memes will be written like
>VWL as in Verstappen wins lol
>>64313598
Wait I thought the FIA told Spa the facilities were up to scratch and wouldn't need it?
I wouldn't mind if he did what they planned in 2005 which was to add a national, short and test circuit to it.

The safety aspect also included how there weren't enough access roads through the forest for medical cars/ambulances if needed.
Not to mention the fact that anyone could walk through the forest and reach the circuit, much like the track invader who interrupted the 2000 race (GOAT race for those who've never watched it).
Essentially, the issues (besides safety) were twofold - the overtakes happened in areas with fewer grandstands and spectators, and that trees couldn't be cut down in the forest to add more grandstands because they'd have to replant exactly the same number they'd cut down. So they decided to shorten it, make the layout as it is today, and let the forest reclaim the rest of it to make up for the deforestation to build the new bits.
>>64313136
The last big crash would be Pironi's accident with Prost that destroyed his legs in 1982 (afaik).

Future GOAT for sure
>>64320920
he's fast, especially for someone at his age and lack of experience, but he's very, very arrogant and stubborn, often to his detriment.
>>64320920
he's gonna follow his father's steps and go to a good team in which he'll basically become #2 driver with a few podiums and maybe a win but never actually get a championship
that or he will mad max straight into a barrier and become the next bianchi
>>64320920
He takes too much risks because of his lack of experience, causing avoidable accidents.
People find it amusing and he mainly gets away with it, because F1 is so boring, Sainz is worst than him, and his car isn't shit.
Personally I think he would be Maldonado tier if Toro Rosso wasn't as fast as it was this year.

it's not really that, it's more that he's being flattered by sainz's bad luck and his arrogance is laughable (i.e. "my dad told me to always hold the wheel in a crash so i'm always going to hold the wheel in a crash" when he should know that there's a huge chance he'll break both his wrists)
if he gets in a top-level car in 4 or 5 years i have no doubt he'll be capable of winning the championship, but right now he isn't ready.

It's mostly that for a lot of people. Most of criticisms on Max isn't even on his race performances. Sainz has had bad luck and has gone a bit under the radar. Could've had some great finishes. Despite that, Verstappen still looked like the quicker driver. And Max had like 1 year F3 under the belt, compared to a reigning WSR-champion.
His "arrogance" is also something that gets exaggerated, I feel mainly because people in general don't like super young wonderkids when they talk back. At times he does come across as hot-headed. Think he could've carried himself better in the team order-conflict in Singapore, although it's really not a surprise looking at who his father is. Also, his beef with Massa. Massa went a bit overboard with his criticism after the Monaco-crash with Grosjean, but Max then replied with telling Massa to look at his own crash with Perez. That was stupid, since Massa was not to blame for it. I get why he went on the attack though, it's the idea that you shouldn't allow yourself to get pushed around by others, just because they're older. Went by it the wrong way, but I get why he did it, Massa was looking for a beef as always.
Besides, the kid is barely 18, he isn't supposed to be ready for anything. Everything above not getting destroyed by his more experienced team-mate, which was definitely something that people here predicted and hoped for, would've been impressive and he greatly exceeded expectations.

>>64321283
>which was definitely something that people here predicted
Not me. Sainz has been mediocre in other categories, and quite predictably he's been making tons of small but critical mistakes. If someone like Ocon had partnered him instead, we wouldn't be talking about Max right now.
The kid just needs to learn to accept responsibility, and if he has to let go of his dad for it, then so be it. It took KMag a while as well, but he's grown quite a bit since his idiotic crash with Massa.

Duh, just because it's a given doesn't mean it's not worth pointing out. This is F1, more should be demanded of those who reach it.
Part of the reason the sport is going downhill is because of drivers entering it earlier and earlier in their lives. It robs you of highly necessary personal development time. Mansell said something similar as well.

That guy who finishes second all the time? I kind of feel for him, he's not getting in at Mercedes because they want to force Werhlein. But for all we know, it could end up like a Hulk-Perez situation, consistency for once, the very big results for the other.
I can see how one would feel Max needs to take more responsibility though, he just flat-out didn't do that.

>18. Villeneuve (Binned it)
>>64325364
Williams IMO will make a small leap forward after maybe struggling a little at the start of the season, between 0.4-0.8 behind Mercedes
Red Bull will be let down by the Renault engine (which will slowly improve over the course of the year) but their chassis will be worse than this year's because it will be the first that Newey didn't have a hand in designing. Probably clear of a second behind Merc
Ferrari will be very close behind Merc, maybe 0.1-0.3 seconds and faster than them on tracks like Malaysia and Hungary where temperature is critical. McLaren will make small progress, from 3 seconds behind to 2.5 and the Renault team will be hugely off the pace (2.5 seconds behind) at the start of the season due to an underdeveloped chassis and shite drivers but will be not too far behind Red Bull by the end.
(I know no-one will listen)

Who /DragonRacing/ here?
front row lockout lads
Haven´t been following Formula E.
What should I know? (Drivers/teams/etc)
>>64327155
They are interviewing Vergne and Bird right now.
It seems now they are replaying quali.
I'll never understand why Formula E insists on using the same three fucking songs for every single vid they produce
>LETS STAND TOGETHER
>a shitty dubstep song
>a shitty some other electro song
>>64327194
Abt E.dams is the best team, Buemi and Di Grassi are the best drivers
>>64327194
the team named after a cheese is the fastest
NOW shit's actually on
>>64327218
>>64327228
Thanks, lads.
Is the stream audio super shitty for anyone else?
>Aguri actually made it to a race
whoa
>>64327306
It's not great.
>>64327342
Aguri has been at all the races. It's Trulli who hasn't and are now being bought out by Jaguar for next year.

>Virgin, decent team last year, this year are midfield with a really difficult to drive car, drivers are JEV and Sam Bird

>>64327382
Oh shit, my bad.
>>64327342
>>64327382
only Trulli's entry was bought by Jaguar, not their technology or cars or employees or anything. They'll be starting fresh as essentially a Williams Formula E team and the whole thing will be run out of Grove
Also Dragon Racing is partnering with somebody to become a manufacturer for next season, season 3 and 4 gonna be gud
>>64327418
>Sutil might become an Formula E driver
>Jennifer at Formula E races
Would be okay with
>>64327419
Have they already said what development they're going to allow in the next few seasons?
>>64327454
not really sure but on a guess I'd say, battery, drive-train and maybe a couple other things in the next couple season
also this girl with her belly out
hnnng
LMAO THESE SUPERMODELS
>>64327454
>>64327492
Batteries not until season 5.
It's be mostly drivetrain stuff I think
That Olympea commercial tho
lol that fucking DJ scaring D'ambrosio
't-thanks bro'
KEK
>>64327442
Massa might do one of the races that doesn't clash with F1 and Alex Lynn or Lance Stroll might be interested too
>>64327454
Motor, gearbox, rear suspension, cooling and inverter are pretty much already completely open for development. most aero will be allowed from season 3 onwards and i think the battery in the next few years as well. by season 5 they want to have one car per race which is pretty gutsy
>>64327538
Hope the aero stuff gets stopped.
Don't want this to be like an F1 and become an aero series.
>>64327570
Formula E should be about battery and electronics systems
Whats the country with the best motorsport coverage? (most series, best coverage,etc.)
Almost no options here (espn and fox monopoly)
>>64327570
The chassis are spec for exactly that reason, I think I read when aero development starts to be allowed it will still have a lot of standard parts and teams will be restricted on the amount of elements on front wings etc they can develop
The main aim is the electric technology and always will be so it doesn't make too much sense to allow much freedom in aero
>>64327496
Fucking piquet jr man
>>64327570
Roborace is going to be interesting

>ePrix

how far can the memes go?
>>64327807
Not far enough.
They still have grid girls. When will they have grid non-binaries ?
And just now, my stream falls down
>senna
>Ayrton
>>64327807
it's pr/e/tty ridiculous d/e/su
but ePrix is a better word for their races than GP or Championship Race or Round or whatever else people call races
it doesn't even work if they copy the NASCAR/V8 Supercars format of Track Name Distance (i.e. Punta Del Este 500) because the races are 50 minutes long and only 90km or something
Senna with puncture or suspension damage
>>64327998

it was awful in the 2014 beijing race because the music lasted the whole fucking race and they kept cutting to the FORMULA eJ™ every 5 minutes
Lovely move

These car changes remind me of Le Mans starts.
They should try to combine them in some way.
I'm going to be sad when we don't have these silly pit stops anymore.

He parked it center of the track on purpose
Buemi mad

Will EV save auto racing? You could have the race in any city on earth with virtually no impact.
what the fuck is this meme

Is Buemi a supercharger? Because he whines a lot
>Buemi and di Grassi Rivals

This should be comfy
>>64328558
race control has been ridiculous throughout today
in practice/quali the race director put on FCY while cars were still on timed laps
it's amateurish
>>64328542
sadly not
Formula E is actually really good tbqh guys
Why bother with safety cars and pit limiters when the cars are already pathetic?
Da Costa is so based
>>64328568
There has been about 130 cities who have expressed interest

Piquet goes full Burnout mode. Massive kek
THE FIX IS IN
Rate the race /f1/
For me: 3 out of 5
Nice overtakes and dat finish
DRIFT KING
>>64328974
most boring race of the season really
some good action here and there but this track doesn't have long enough straights to have all that much overtaking
but still more entertaining than 3/4 of f1 races
>poozilian driving
>>64328974
I only watched half of it, I rate 6/10
>>64328974
Final lap saved it somewhat
>>64329003
Agreed
Was mediocre FE race
But good compared to second half of F1 2015
Shit track tbhfam
>>64292624
Fuck off. Best F1/city sightseeing combination I've ever had. Beautiful Budapest with great baths and restaurants.
Also mfw watching FP3 from water slide park instead of sitting on gold 1 stadium
>>64323582
Is this the best copy pasta in f1 history ?
