Good.
Don't really follow the threads during race.
Too fucking fast.
Also, all the casuals with their shitty opinions.

>Too fucking fast.
Something has to be fast, if not the cars.
>>66579254
True.
Race threads had almost 200 posters
Average off-week thread has 110 top
>>66579298
Williams' pitstops were
>>66579196
4 more laps and max would've passed gro, he was catching up pretty fast on those fresh tyres
>>66579298
But the cars are fast as fuck this season.
Didn't the nigga set a new record or something?
can someone explain why Bahrain is "Badger GP"?
Race threads are cancer. How can people watch a race and read/post at the same time anyway?
>>66579353
Too bad the race wasn't 4 more laps then, eh Jos?
>>66579388
its a shame for max but i really like grosjean too
>>66579375
badgergp is just a site we we make predictions for the GPs in a fantasy league

>>66579421
I was biting my nails on those last laps, Max could have and should have caught Gros.
>>66579388
>Race threads are cancer. How can people watch a race and read/post at the same time anyway?
two monitors
Just contributing with a picture of the race, and vague comments about alcohol and Russian prostitutes.
>>66579499
This
It is scary how much more efficient shit posting can be
>>66579509
>Russian prostitutes
in Bahrain?
Was the race enjoyable? I couldn't watch it but from what I've read on the news we had lots of shit happening on the track
>>66579560
I didn't get to sample them. But I assume it's similar to Dubai. Where there are plenty.
>>66579585
It was fun.
It was not hamrosvet at least.
>>66579585
it was enjoyable yes, especially as a Haas fan.
Though there were some disappointments, it is still worth a watch.
>>66579499
If you're looking at another monitor you're missing the race. It's fine during boring races but I think it ruins the good ones
>>66579585
It was great. The first 10 laps or so were complete carnage and things still happened as it slowed down, plenty of overtakes and interesting stuff.
>>66579585
7/10 race, not as good as Aus imo but still solid. First half was better than the second
393rd for the weekend in BadgerGP feelsgood.jg
>>66579624
theres plenty of times where they're showing the 10th replay of something or just 2 cars that aren't just quite battling yet
>>66579597
Noice
>>66579624
I can listen just fine and my attention is 70% on the race and less than 30% on 4chan, if nothing is really happening I scroll through the shitposts quicker and the opposite if cars are battling
I dunno why you're finding it so difficult really
>>66579704
To each their own I guess
>>66579704
and five times showing a car locking up in turn 9-10
>>66579778
I don't think it's difficult, I just think it takes away from the race and doesn't add anything other than an occasional laugh
>>66578883
A Nico fan since 2006. She is the best.
>>66579310
Is F1 the fastest sport on average in /sp/? We go through like 5 threads in a race, that's more than ebin tsuuuu el clasicos etc., while motogp rarely even has a thread for example.
Top 5 in the Dennis League, top 150 in the world. feelsgoodman.daguerrotype
>>66579865
fair enough, I can see what you mean if you spend more than a certain amount of the race shitposting instead of just viewing
Some races I barely bother with 4chan though, depends on how I'm feeling ig
>>66579375
top lel
>>66579893
i dont believe so
super bowl and world cup matches run through threads like crazy
>>66579893
tbf we get thourgh an entire thread during the first 5 laps what with the chaos and carnage.
if we consider that f1 races last for 1:30 while football matches are like 2 hours then yes, /f1/ threads are, ironically, the fastest threads in /sp/
of course that excludes bigger matches ie champions league final, world cup, super bowl, etc.
>>66579975
Yeah but that is one match every year or 1 match every 4 years
We have 20 races a season and have 5+ threads for each.
For a regular sport F1 has to be up there.

>>66581507
If it makes you feel any better Jules and her were together since teenagers and were thinking of having kids but a week or two before the crash Jules broke off the relationship. It was because he was seeing someone else but he didn't tell her that he just broke it off. Camille was heartbroken when the crash happened but only found out about the other girl when Jules was flown back from Japan to the French hospital.
She then committed suicide (This has been covered up massively but it is why her instagram is ded)

He wouldn't have won or anything, but it definitely would have changed a few positions.
>former F1 driver Johnny Herbert, now an analyst with Sky, said he didn’t think [Alonso] should come back, explaining: “I know things have changed as far as the cars are concerned, but as far as performance is concerned we haven’t seen this two-time world champion that everyone says is the best. I don’t see it.”
>The McLaren driver shook hands with Herbert – a seven-time F1 podium finisher – before declaring: “I’m a world champion. You ended up as a commentator because you are not world champion.”
top kek
>>66581982
his pace was a fair bit better than Massa's on the 2nd stint, and even at the end of the third stint when his softs were nearly bald he was quicker
IMO he would've finished at least 2 positions higher

I have the red MAGA hat, it will go well with whichever Haas shirt I decide to get. Still trying to decide between the 'Team Tee' and the 'Graphic Logo Tee'.

Haas f1 is a brand new constructor and they're showing real promise. Everybodys rooting for them.
Mercedes is universally hated for their dominance and douchebag drivers.
Scuderia Ferrari is a good team to root for if not because they're the closest to beating mercedes.
Williams used to be a top 3 team but they're dropping off quickly. a real sinking ship.
Red bull has two solid respectable drivers. they just need a little bit more from their cars to be a solid top 3 team.
Torro Rosso is sort of the jr team for red bull. not as good. cars and driver wise.
mclaren has two good drivers. the cars are the real problem. utter garbage material and i pitty anyone who sunk with the mclaren ship.
force india, sauber, manor, and renault, are all teams you only root for because you have a driver you like on their team. whether its because they're from you're home country or their based out of you're home country or whatever.

I know the marshals blamed Bottas but I think Hamilton is partly to blame for cutting all the way across the inside line on the first corner of the race. The grid is packed together and there's always cars on the inside at the beginning.

>F1 is dead and no one watches it.
You gotta feel for Stevens. He stepped in post-Jules when no one else wanted to drive that car. The "2015" Manor was a piece of shit. And they said taking that one-off drive for Caterham at Abu Dhabit would be career suicide because you would never be able to show your true skills in that car and impress one of the bigger teams. They kick out Graeme Lowdon, new personnel, new livery, Mercedes engine, and now they are on the upswing.
When they didn't really have a choice and couldn't find anyone else, Stevens stepped in and drove for them. And now when they actually have resources to put together a package that's not a complete piece of shit, they don't bring Stevens back for a drive.
>>66580183

Sure, let me very quickly tell that to the sea of half-decent rookies with not a lot of money wanting to get their (often well-deserved) break in the sport and see what they have to say about it.
>They kick out Graeme Lowdon, new personnel, new livery, Mercedes engine, and now they are on the upswing.
This is not the old Manor anymore and you should've realized that by now. The real Manor, with Lowdon and the old personnel, is in WEC.
Guess who's driving for them this year?
>And now when they actually have resources to put together a package that's not a complete piece of shit, they don't bring Stevens back for a drive.
Why should they? Haryanto may not be great, but he brings far more money in and is a much better driver than Stevens, who was an absolute joke last year even accounting for the pseudo-2015 car.
>>66586296
he paid for the seat, it isn't like they had him on as a talent to be groomed for the future and brought back in every year
I always thought it was cool how Merhi was really more like a full-time FR3.5 driver that did F1 on the side during off-weekends. I wonder how the other drivers felt when they're beating him in FR3.5 and don't even have a GP start yet.
at least Merhi can always fall back on that male modeling career since he's so fucking handsome.

Why does the FIA insist on screwing up the quali format? Give the teams extra tires if you want them to do extra laps. Quali-trim is all about low fuel load and fresh tires, teams aren't going to put extra fuel and use up your tires doing extra laps just in case the 90 second knockout starts so you can have your flying lap count. Not counting flying laps is fucking stupid. And if you set a fast laptime early then you'll go back in the garage and wait anyways just like how the top teams would sandbag in Q1 before. The rule doesn't make any sense. Who is in charge of making these decisions?
>>66586433
oh I forgot, I think Chilton did ovals in Indy Lights. but first Indy oval race for the both of them. It went better than expected Chilton got a top ten.

Ericsson was honestly really good, even with his occasional mistake. Considering how easy it was to pass this race and how much of a ridiculous rocketship the Manor is on the straights this year (not to mention looking better than the Sauber all around), staying ahead is a decent accomplishment.
https://a.uguu.se/egueqz_Schumacherbahrain04_polelap.webm
>>66579354
>>66580508
A new "lap record", but I also blame the cooler track temps with night quali.
The 2013 V8s were low 1:32s and that was during the day in the desert heat, they definitely could have done sub 1:30 in cooler temps and super softs. Bahrain only became a night race recently when the new regulations came out.
There's no way the 1.6 liter V6 turbos are faster than the "old" 2000s cars or the V8s. Compared to 2014 the first season with the V6s the laptimes are going down. But it's still not faster yet.
https://a.uguu.se/idfagk_ButtonImolaBARHonda.webm
>>66586901
the main issue is the lack of downforce
top speeds actually increased when the v6 turbos were introduced

National television will always suck the dick of their fellow drivers, Sky UK loves Hamilton, Sky Germany loves Rosberg/Vettel/Wehrlein (sometimes Hülkenberg).
The last time a driver won two races in a row and didn't win the WDC was in 1982

>>66582970
>He was showing real promise last year
no he wasn't
>>66586829
Was pleasantly surprised by him this race. He kinda slammed Sauber afterwards, saying the car is bad and that he didn't have full power the first five laps. Apparently they also miscalculated the fuel, he had to save on the last stint so he couldn't defend against stoffel and kmag.
>>66587373
>saying the car is bad
he does realise he races at sauber right?
>>66587301
He's still around, he just posts less since moving to ireland. I guess he's not considered a dorftrottel over there.
>>66587387
The car being slower than the Manor is unacceptable though.
Any hues know if Nasr dropped some insight into what is going on at Sauber? Seems both him and ERI are fed up.

The cars look SO SLOW on track, its embarrassing.
What is the actual reason? The quali laptime is the fastest ever yet the cars looked sluggish and slow in quali as well?
Compare to like 2005 where the cars look like they're absolutely flying even though they are techincally slower than what they are now. And it's not just the screaming engine, although it helps.
Are the newer HD digital cameras somehow at fault for this?
>>66587961
originally it did, but it would be unsafe for modern f1 cars
hence a redesigned chicane is necessary
>>66588028
>Are the newer HD digital cameras somehow at fault for this?
probably, higher FPS means less motion blur which made the cars look faster
>>66586781
Is Manor, dare I say, the new Williams?
"The Manor is like a rocket on the straights" - some race engineer trying to console his driver for getting BTFO by a black man in a Manor
>>66588028
>>66588040
another factor is changing from 4:3 to widescreen - giving more screen space per shot - and more significantly FOM forcing the cameraman to use ridiculously high fields of view on shots looking down straights to fit in more sponsors which makes it appear like the cars are moving less quickly
>>66580262
f1 is expensive m8
>>66588009
So they want to try this for china?
>>66588040
Look at these gifs though
>>66586917
>>66586901
The cars look like they are FLYING through the corners and even without sound the cars visibly look like theyre being pushed to the limit
I honestly have a hard time comprehending how that Ferrari can be on a slower lap than what this years quali was. Looks like its flying on the straights and breezing through the corners effortlessly, yet this is slower than what we have now?
I don't get it
>>66588050
in the V8 era I think Force India and Sauber (not 100% sure which teams it was) were known for having ridiculous straight line speed, it's not a philosophy exclusive to Williams
that said, Manor have less efficient aero than Williams had in 2014 so their effect will be less pronounced regardless
I'm gonna enjoy Wehrlein using his straight line speed to overtake cars much higher up the pecking order though
>>66588088
part of it is down to the cars of 2004-2008 having much more downforce and much less straight line speed, so while their cornering speeds were quicker than the current cars, they were significantly slower in the speed traps. the current cars are much less draggy
plus onboard cameras used to have a higher FOV which made it appear like the track to the side of the car was passing by quicker than it actually was, since the switch to HD they've had a lower FOV
>>66588089
Yeah I know it's not a new philosophy, its just what Williams have been exploiting during the current era more than any other team. I think they kind of fucked up by not focusing on this philosophy more. Bottas and Symonds have specifically said that they've tried to improve on what the car is lacking, which is downforce. While this seems somewhat logical, it has now taken away their only real advantage and made them into a real average car. They also don't have huge budgets to keep up the in-season development so I imagine the gap to the front is only going to get bigger. And if they already have such huge issues with tire deg and general drivability of the car, then their season doesn't seem like it's going to end too well. Red Bull is definitely going to finish higher in the constructors, maybe even Toro Rosso and who knows, maybe Haas if Gutierrez can get some races completed.
Manor seem like they are the new frontrunners of this "fast on the straights with no real downforce in the corners" mentality now, even if they are still at the back.
good morning my friends
>>66588203
Williams' new front wing is at least somewhat of a cure for their lack of downforce, they now just have to get their setup right since in Bahrain they only had the one hour to even find out if it worked
their race pace in Aus wasn't too bad, so if they can bring a few good upgrades and get a strategy that works they could still nab a few podiums here and there. but who am I kidding, this is Williams we're talking about, there's no chance they'll ever not choke kek
>>66580180

B O S C H K U R V E
>>66588285
Why wouldn't they approve it though? It is high speed yes, but there is actually plenty of runoff everywhere even in that form from the 80s. If they're remaking it from scratch I assume they're going to update the runoffs and barriers to match modern FIA standards.
The laptimes there in the old cars weren't even too long so I don't really see why this couldn't get approval?
It would even be pretty cool if they kept the modern circuit as the upper half, but just extended the lower half of it to match the old track (which is the most beautiful part of the track IMO)
As far as Tilkedromes go, the Red Bull Ring really isn't even that bad. The scenery helps a lot though.
>>66588425
>It would even be pretty cool if they kept the modern circuit as the upper half, but just extended the lower half of it to match the old track (which is the most beautiful part of the track IMO)
that's pretty much what they're doing, just with a different first chicane since there isn't enough runoff for the original. they might have to change the old sebring curve since it's tight for runoff on the exit and it'd be quite a bloody quick corner in a modern f1 car
>>66588480
I get that things have to be safe. But drivers aren't children that need to be babied and protected like crazy. F1 needs more super fast corners that you can maybe, maybe not take flat out. Even a track like Abu Dhabi would be much better if the two straights wouldn't be seperated by a chicane but by a sweeping lefthander that is borderline flat out. Yea it's more "dangerous" and someone can lose the car there and the cars will reach critical speeds by the end, but isn't that what they're supposed to do? And if recent accidents prove anything, it's that the cars are so fucking safe that you can have huge crashes and be more or less ok. Bianchi is still an extreme outlier and his accident would never have been fatal had there been no additional vehicles on track and the race was appropriately flagged, and the driver in question actually followed the flags.
The tracks are honestly being designed as if the drivers are amateurs who don't understand where the limits of a car are and doing everything possible to ensure that the cars don't go too fast. The tracks really dont need to be any safer than they are already. What F1 needs is more crazy, fast and difficult tracks. Half the tracks on the field are basically designed specifically for F1 cars, making the corners wide, tracks that are easy to overtake in and with a general scale that suits a F1 car.
Put F1 on a less built up and less "commercial" track and the racing would surely be amazing.
>>66588537
I agree desu, but the FIA doesn't
if I had to guess, this is what the new layout will look like. they might keep the original profile of Sebring (top left corner) and just put a chicane in the straight before it or something
>>66587820
Thank you, britbro, this is what I've been saying to everyone since yesterday's quali
>>66588582
a chicane like this would be pretty nice, if a big hungaroring-ish

It feels good to see Manor beating Force India like this. I hope Wehrlein gets a proper Merc seat soon. Really pleased with the composure and speed he's shown so far this season.
>>66588899
Wehrlein is pretty much a shoo-in for force india next season. unless both hulk and perez demonstrate some incredible form some time soon one of them is gonna be out of a seat
>>66588852
Both Hockenheim and Nurburgring are pretty shit though to be honest my man
>>66588899
the force indias both got damaged and had to pit on lap 1. strategy was out of sync, and that manor was on 10 lap newer tyres. manor will fall down the grid soon.

I'm still hella bitter they fucking tore up the forest section of the hockenheimring when they redid it

Wasn't that basically both Hulk and Perez's fault? Perez even apologized for his own incident, which is very rare for someone like him. While the damage definitely hampered Force India's pace, it's still a point in Wehrlein and Manor's favor since, unlike those two, Pascal was clean and didn't mess up, and made the most of what the car currently has to offer.

>Like what the fuck why remove it
Money.
There were no stands or standing sections in the large forest area of the track, also no space for the demanded run-off areas.
>>66588976
afaik it was 1) down to Pascal not having F1 experience other than testing and 2) Hulk having an ironclad contract and Vijay wanting to keep Perez's mexibucks
>>66588946
>Hamilton going to Ferrari
>implying Hamilton won't be left stranded, either staying and further damaging his relationship with the team or moving to a lesser team, while Ferrari snatch either Grosjean or Ricciardo
I think he's still going to beat Rosberg this year, but if Rosberg keeps the pressure up and Ferrari's post-Spain upgrades work well enough, Hamilton's not going to stay in a good mental state for long.
>>66588985
Mercedes only stayed in Britain to save money. Why build an entire new HQ in Germany when you can just use the buildings you already have?
>le Rosberg is finnish meme
he can't even fucking speak finnish
>>66588924
At this rate it would be better to stay at Manor than to move to Force India.
Toto Wolff wants both Bottas and Wehrlein in the Mercedes, Lewis obviously isn't going to leave until he feels like retiring or if there is a dramatic drop in performance. Rosberg might leave but honestly Rosberg is performing fantastically and unless there is something huge brewing behind the scenes, he is seemingly a good fit in the team, works well with engineers, good spirit etc. He's been in the team for so long and isn't exactly underperforming like a Massa-to-Alonso or Barrichello-to-Schumacher number 2 so there's really no good reason to get rid of him.
I think the only way Mercedes will have a free seat in the coming years is if one of the drivers decides to retire or if driver tensions reach completely unmanageable levels, which they probably aren't going to because they have the right kind of autist running the team (Toto pragmatic kind, not Dennis emotional falling in love with one driver kind), and the drivers already handled their rivalries pretty well without any HUGE dramas. My point being is that Wehrlein might be waiting for a while until he gets a seat at Mercedes, at which point their domination is likely (hopefully) over anyway.
>Rosberg has now as many consecutive victories as his father has victories total
>>66588974
Environmental regulations meant they had to replant as many trees as they tore up
I don't fucking understand why they weren't allowed to replant them elsewhere, but that's Germany for you.
>>66588974
No reason to continue managing it? Barrichello's win in 2000 showed that it was very easy for both on-track and TV fans to miss overtaking action in the forest section, so I wouldn't be surprised if Bernie got pissed after that. I thought there were at least a few rumors surrounding that back in the day, but I don't know much more than that.
>>66589009
He's not Finnish at all but he really isn't that German either. I mean at least he speaks German but I doubt he really feels that "German" considering he hasn't really lived there and basically grew up in Monaco which is basically France anyway and basically just a nationality-free richperson zone
>>66589045
Didn't Keke hardly feel all that Finnish either? I heard he had his own run-ins with the media and he seemed to be pretty much the polar opposite of the Finnish stereotype. Hell, he strikes me as an unpleasant person.
>>66588966
Yea new Hockenheim isn't awful, It is a bit uninspired though but has delivered cool racing, you are right.
Nurburgring on the other hand is shit for sure and the whole first sector of the track is so terrible. The whole track is just kind of "small" and has basically no real good qualities other than the memefest of 2007 or whenever it rained heavily
>>66588996
Surely there could have been some solution that didn't involve destroying that sweet section of the circuit. Although if their idea of adequate run-off was making it into a parking lot, I think that might be even worse. And sure, there wasn't a massive deal of spectator spots, but its not like they didn't exist at all. Then again, if its all about money, greed will always prevail. Cunts.

>>66589068
I don't know about Keke. He doesn't hate Finland or anything I just think he is more internationally oriented, speaks German and Swedish (I think he was born in Sweden too). He's a pretty cool guy, just dared to expand beyond Finland unlike most Finns haha. He's worked as a commentator for F1 in Finland in the past so I highly doubt he has any sort of resentment towards the country.
He did make the conscious choice of not teaching his child Finnish though so.. I mean pragmatically it is a useless language globally but still, one would assume that you would want your child to speak your mother tongue.
>>66589121
Mika! <3
I think I genuinely do love him.
>>66589035
I feel like the ability to cover the forest area for a TV broadcast would be much easier now than in 2000, with improved broadcasting technology and hardware.
As for spectators at the circuit, those big broadcast screens can work out fine. If their wishes are to have 90% of overtakes able to be seen by all spectators at a circuit, they should be racing in stadiums.
>>66589108
I don't know if Romain's honestly good enough for the seat, but he's a good kid, a potentially great #2 and he's good friends with Vettel, so he'd pretty much be a 0.9:1, if not 1:1 replacement for Kimi. If it were by me, I'd be going after him aggressively if he continued to impress with Haas, since Ferrari don't need and can't make good use of two #1 drivers and Ricciardo, while possibly faster than Grosjean, is slower than a not-shit Vettel and thus a largely pointless acquisition.
Then again, if there's one thing Ferrari's pointless pursuit of Bottas in 2015 showed, it's that they are not smart.
>>66589092
I still remember this race. It made me really sad back then.
>>66588285
>Bosch Curve

>>66588822
Imola is the one case where the new chicanes haven't ruined it in my opinion. Sure, we don't have Tamburello anymore, but they sped up Aque Minerale and the Variante Alta. It's just a more technical track like Magny-Cours now instead of a faster, flowing track like Spa.
>>66589138
>Then again, if there's one thing Ferrari's pointless pursuit of Bottas in 2015 showed, it's that they are not smart.
Before Abu Dhabi, Bottas was ahead of le Gimi in the standings and he was in a Williams that was 5 tenths a lap slower. He'd be a much more capable #2 driver and probably wouldn't threaten Vettel too much
>>66589171
He clearly does not have the required mentality, loyalty or general team spirit to be a #2 driver - just look at how much he's been whining about Williams over the last 12 months, especially when they were messing up or not making Massa bend over unnecessarily for him. Not only that, but he's slower than Ricciardo. Why they ever considered him is way beyond me. They need someone who's obedient and trustworthy like Massa was with Alonso, not just slower than the de facto #1.
>looking at Finland's results in the '00s
>all those DNFs
Mc fucking Laren.
>>66589171
>>66589207
Also, Kimi's pace is irrelevant. They do not need him to be fast right now, nor does it look like he's very slow at the present moment even though he was a mess last year.
>>66589134
>they should be racing in stadiums
pls don't give FIA even more ideas
Also, go watch a copy of the 2000 German GP, it's fantastic. You get to see most of the on-track action, they had a camera at every chicane. The only people who can complain about old Hockenheim not giving good racing is the people in the stands. It's not like there's ever very much action going into the Sudkurve nowadays anyways even with the new layout.

>>66589171
It's almost certain that the Bottas interest was basically just rumors and nothing else. I think Ferrari are actually "interested" in him just like they are interested in any other decent driver on the grid that might get a seat one day. Bottas also said in an interview that he has never been in talks with Ferrari, which could be a lie. But he is clearly much more aligned with Mercedes considering his relationship with Toto Wolff and Mika.
>>66589207
I am not a Bottas supporter and I agree with some of your points, but I don't think he's been that whiny towards Williams. I don't even really know what you mean by this? Do you mean he's criticized the team or the instances where he asked to overtake Massa?
He is also given basically free reign at Williams and Claire and Frank clearly like him which is why he has attacked Massa and whatnot. It's not really fair to say he's unable to be a no. 2 because he currently isn't and has never been anything short of equal to his teammate during his whole time in F1.
He's also slightly sperging out because he is very aware that he hasn't won a race yet and is a bit overanxious to make it happen even though its close to impossible in the current car.
>>66589213
It's why they deserve all the bad things that have happened to them in the past year
>>66589319
>It's why they deserve all the bad things that have happened to them in the past year

>2007
>>66589309
not really, Bottas was a match for him pretty constantly. Ricciardo was a little faster in the race but Bottas was equally faster in quali.
>>66589081
>Surely there could have been some solution that didn't involve destroying that sweet section of the circuit.
Only other solution would have been to cut down a lot of the trees to make space for the runoff areas, which would have brought them in trouble with the Environment Protection Agency.
>>66589298
I think its also hard to put a great deal of weight on those results now. 2008 was eight years ago, and that was a junior developmental league. Both Bottas and Riccardo have changed as drivers since then, so I'm not sure how indicative it can be of their current results now. It shows they've both always been good drivers, and maybe Bottas had the edge in 2008. But that's about it.
>>66589314

From what we saw in Bahrain, the Chinese circuit should suit the Manor really well so it's not completely out of the question. I still doubt it though.
>>66589436

>>66589474
China is such a shit circuit with basically a long terrible technical section which is very difficult to overtake in for Sector 1 and 2, and Sector 3 is basically a 1.2 km straight meaning that it should suit Manor quite well
If Wehrlein qualifies something like P14, wait for the eventual McLaren explosions, overtake a few cars and you're in the points.
Hopefully it rains though. Pretty much the only thing that can make the race exciting at all. The track is so ugly anyway and it just reminds me of industrial smog China (lived there for a while) so maybe having rain will make it somewhat more bearable to look at
>>66589510
>Finnish

I agree completely, it's one of the worst tracks on the calendar. Only had two or three good races and the rest have all been completely shit.
>>66589510
It's complete shit but it has five full throttle straight sections, two of which are very long. If the Force Indias are as offpace as they seemed and the Saubers stay shit then they genuinely have a good chance

It's the most Chinese track you could imagine
Chinese millionaire/billionaire with relatively new wealth almost certainly requested a track to be built that had all of the "best" and "biggest" and "longest" sections. I'm almost certain a chinaman specifically requested THE LONGEST straight and THE MOST DIFFICULT technical section because Chinese people literally think like this, and that having something that is easily quantifiable as the "biggest" exemplifies taste, class and superiority.

>the hamilton hat is a flat brim
l e l
One thing that should be noted about the Red Bull Ring reconstruction is the fact that it is actually owned by Red Bull, and Red Bull, even though a huge company is still basically Mateschitz. Mateschitz is obviously quite involved in F1 and is most likely friends with Bernie and the likes. It's not super farfetched to think that he could have discussed the matter of bringing back the old track with Bernie or the FIA themselves prior to undertaking the huge process.
I mean still, the Red Bull Ring in its current format is fully usable (and Red Bull seemingly had no problem not using the track for like a decade after buying it and redbranding it), so why would they even spend the money reconstructing the old track? I'm sure its not for no reason at all.
My point being is that I'm sure there is some grand plan behind it all, otherwise whats the point of resurrecting an old circuit if there's no use for it and it's not safe enough to actually be raced on, or to be approved by FIA regulations?

>>66590208
He grew up and continues to live in Monaco. I think that is the closest national identity he would have. He's more German than Finnish but I don't know how truly "German" he is either.
He's not Finnish in the slightest, I honestly could not place him as being half-Finnish if I didn't know who his father was. Mannerisms, behavior, even appearance really isn't Finnish at all.

hahaha brundle is a lovely man
Watching these old cars really makes me loose interest in current F1, fucking GP2 tier race speeds
>>66590529
50fps has always looked wrong to me. The 50fps webms that get posted here look especially bad but that video isn't terrible to look at. It's like most of the benefits of 60fps but still with too much motion blur. Not sure if it's got things to do with my unfamiliarity with PAL and shit or something else completely.
>>66590529
>mfw we can't just watch all old GPs that are in the archive in this quality
Also Ralph is criminally underrated. He wasn't great-tier but he was pretty good. But because his brother was GOAT he'll always be remembered as shit.
>>66590645
Both him and Montoya really underperformed in the Williams on occasion though, considering they had a legitimate racewinning WDC challenger car, they should have done a bit better.
But yea Ralf did a lot better than people seem to remember. 6 wins and 28 podiums really isn't too bad especially when most of his career was under McLarenWL, SchumiWL and RenaultWL dominant eras, in fact that was his whole career pretty much lol
I really enjoy Hamilton having to specifically go out of his way to appear "chill" and relaxed and content despite the fact that he is losing hard. It all seems so incredibly fake because everyone has seen what he is like when he loses and shows how he really feels. Despite the fact that he suffered some bad luck in both races this season, the fact is that Nico beat him off the line in both races and he would not have led the race out of turn 1 even if everything went perfectly.
Sure its the early stages, but its obvious that it annoys him. I mean he is a 3x WDC now so he doesn't have anything to "prove" anymore unlike Rosberg who clearly wants to make this his championship year, but since when has Hamilton been a good loser? He would much rather win an be a 4 time WDC rather than lose to Rosberg. He is already talking salt-filled comments about how Rosberg's 5 wins mean nothing and he's not worried at all.
We did it 4chan
https://twitter.com/rgrosjean/status/717040136014454786
>>66590756
It's also amusing watching the British media try to spin his obvious frustration and continue to present him as the 'chill' guy. Monaco 2015 springs to mind.
How many of you are gonna be salty as fuck when I start posting pics of Tay Tay Swizzlepop's concert at the USGP?
>>66590684
2001 was the only year Williams had a legitimately WDC tier car, which was unfortunately plagued by unreliability. Ralph had 5 mechanical DNFs that year. In 2002 Williams still had the second best car, but for whatever reason JPM outperformed him massively. You're right though, neither of them achieved what they should have in a car that took 7 poles that year.
>>66590756
>>66590797
I was surprised that I haven't find HAM that insufferable so far this year. He's still a bit salty but who wouldn't be. We are experiencing no where near the level of butthurt that came from Monaco last year or late 2014. I feel it's only a matter of time though.
>>66590808

>get this on Saturday
>Williams proceeds to bottle their race and fuck themselves
Life is suffering
>>66590840
It's only two races in and they both could have went far worse for him. At the moment i imagine he believes he can still beat Rosberg with raw pace but it will only take a DNF or penalty or another botched start and he will start giving those interviews where he looks on the edge of tears and get snarky with the team

>>66588088
>>66588125
This and suspensions and other things that make the car more stable make them look much slower.
Look at Group B rally vs today's rally. Todays car set much faster stagetimes yet it looks like they go at crawling speed compared to Group B rally cars.
>>66591029
You're right, Ralph did underperform in 2003 as well, he had a very bad start to the season which he picked up midway.
I think the McLaren and the Ferrari were about tied for the best car that season though, with the Williams a little further back in third. Montoya did very well to get as many podium places as he did.
>Keke Rosberg implicated in the Panama Papers
There's even going to be a special segment on him next week from the government news station produced documentary regarding the Panama Papers.
My question is that if you're already living in Monaco, why do you need to hide your wealth in offshore holding companies? Isn't the point of Monaco to be a tax haven? Why would you then need to further go through the effort of hiding your wealth in the Virgin Islands etc?
>>66590895
mate, count yourself lucky
>>66591267
They teased the part about Keke in a "coming next week" segment, in which the reporter calls Keke and asks him what the purpose of his _____ company is, to which Keke responds with "uhh can't hear you really well, I'm at the pitlane right now bye"
lol
>>66591267
Apparently Trulli, di Montezemolo, Firstberg, Barrichello and Massa are also involved.

Don't know which more embarrassing, Barrichellos record or Wobblers.
> you will never co-drive your waifu to victory on the rally of Sanremo in Group B regulations
> you will never get berated by the Black Volcano while she rides your pokey stick into 5th gear
>>66591409
Wobblers, easily. MSC is almost inarguably GOAT, Ferrari was his team. Vettel is one of the best but he's no Michael.
In 2002 and 2004 Rubens was on the podium (usually 2nd) in just about every single race, you can't say the same about Webber in 2011 and 2013. To be fair to Mark, he was nearing the end of his career in his mid to late 30's while Ruben turned 30 in 2002, so that probably has something to do with it.
I still like both of them though.
>>66591503
Proof that women drivers can be good, they just never are.

How do you not kill yourself? I mean I guess he's pretty rich and got to drive a lot of F1 but man, how do you deal with this sort of embarrassment? Especially when your country cheers you on thinking you're going to be the next Senna.
>>66591524
Statistically Rubens is a LOT worse but Webber is pretty embarrassing consiering how inexperienced Vettel was during their time together, and how he was not there as a 2nd driver initially. Pretty sure he actually walked into the situation thinking he would be the de facto team leader. At least everyone knew Schumi was a domination machine and Ferrari made Rubens' 2nd driver status abundantly clear.
Final embarrassing nail on the coffin was the fact that during their last season together Vettel got as many racewins in a ROW (and breaking all the records in the process) as Webber did in his whole career overall.
>>66591503
> you will never co-drive your waifu to victory on the rally of Sanremo in Group B regulations
Michelle won the Sanremo in a Group 4 quattro. Group B didn't come in until 1983.
>>66591531
>>66591592
I feel bad for Rubens. He was a nice guy, and he was quick on his day. That's what you get for being team mate to the GOAT though. 2009 was a tough deal for him but I think I rate Jenson higher than most, and he was incredible at the start of the year which left Rubens chasing.
As for not killing himself, I mean he got to drive in F1 for nearly 20 years, in some of the best cars, got a decent if disappointing tally of race wins, and had what from the outside seems to have been a good time all around. He also made a boatload of money.
Look at how many races Rubens would have won if MSC hadn't won them. It's impossible to say, if he had a lesser team mate like Ralph or Montoya or DC, how he would have fared in comparison. Which is why the stats don't mean a whole lot to me. Like I said, that's what you get for partnering the GOAT.
>>66591652
Shh same thing
>>66589860
I got one of those for free because my friend works at Bose.
It's not identical to that, it might be last season's, but damn do I look FLYYYYYYYYY.
>>66591671
If Jenson stays with McLaren for 2017 he will take Ruben's record of Most Grand Prixs ever driven. Maybe he will kill himself after all.

Jesus, does he also have a guy who wipes his ass after taking a shit?

Once he was done, Suzie says "Nico, put on a condom and come fuck me right this minute," waving the trophy menacingly.
"yes, ma'am" he'd say sheepishly, rolling the condom on and kneeling between her legs.
Then he'd rub my hard cock up and down your wet pussy and she'd thrust up against him,
then she'd demand "Now fuck me, twink boy." Nico would get an evil grin and say you'd like that, wouldn't you?
In a flash he's on top of her, holding herr hands above herr head, the trophy dangling uselessly, while Nico continues to drag his cock up and down her wet slit, their faces barely an inch apart.
