I can kinda see why Grosjean was pissy, you can't really see amx is forcing ERI to cut across.
Idea:
>Turbine powered, electric drive car for WEC and Le Mans.
1.There are crazy small, and crazy efficient turbines nowadays.
2.Fully electric drive means insane torque and acceleration. You could potentially have 500hp per wheel.
3. Constant power generation. Which means it's charging the batteries even during pit stops, yellow flags, and safety cars.
Downsides:
1. The sound
2. Energy storage not good enough yet, the batteries would probably end up being 70% of the weight of the car.
3. The sound
>>66930047

hang in there Sauber.
the car does look exactly the same as last year's chassis. at least when the Lotus-Enstone team was broke they could argue that their base design on the vanilla car was good they just didn't have the resources to make upgrades. but it's like Sauber forgot how to design a good F1 car.
they need to hope that some big manufacturer like BMW buys them out and rescues them.
>>66930480
the caterham gets me every time
why are there no italian drivers in F1?
Why are in-race conversations between ROS/HAM and their team so cringeworthy
>buy pirelli
>>66930467
alfa romeo or nothing. but why bother - not many alfas get sold, and ferrari won't let them beat them, if thet get close.
>>66930578
Quintarelli is pretty good. I think he should get a shot at F1. Marciello was supposed to be the next italian F1 driver. Davide Rigon had a shot but he got scooped up by the factory GT team.
>>66930740
hopefully Alfa is independent enough that Ferrari won't interfere.
the mandatory tire pressure rule by Pirelli is bullshit. the official tire pressures are too high. it's too much of a difference from what the teams were normally running. All the teams and engineers said the pressures are abnormally high, an extreme amount that you would normally never run in a racing tire.
Just let Pirelli make a better tire. You can go 4-5 seconds faster today if you just let Pirelli make a better tire that's not shit. then you don't have to cover it up with wacky tire pressures.
>>66930979
the track didn't suit Haas.
at least Gutierrez finished a race.
usually the small teams can have an advantage early in the season during the fly-away races. but then it gets tougher later on as the big teams develop their car during the season.
>>66930578
There used to be. Jarno Trulli. Giancarlo Fisichella. There are others I'm sure. There just don't happen to be any at the moment.
top kek. good thing this will not happen, lewis:
>I need to win all 18 races, he said. I'm actually quite grateful there are more races this season, it gives me more space
Vettel should probably be upset with kimi but he can't publicly bash his teammate so he's taking it out on Kvyat instead.
>>66930578
Ricciardo is as Italian as Grosjean is Swiss and Rosberg is Finnish, i..e very
>>66931196
he is more abbo than italian.
>>66931174
He should be upset with himself t bh, if he didn't lose grip right before crash = no crash
it was a good recovery to get 2nd and 5th. but Ferrari had the hype all season that they were finally going to challenge Mercedes. but they screw up Australia and now China.
>>66931386

I bet Lewis regrets not choosing to have the #1 on his car now. It's a privledge and an honor to have the option to use the #1 for a season. You don't know how many seasons you'll get the chance to be the defending champion.

assburgers af, but hilarious to read.
>>66931665
when kimi ran a little bit wide so that's when vettel and kvyat dived inside and then when kimi tries to cut back, vettel gets wedged/squeezed between them.
on Sky they were saying Vettel shouldn't be upset and that it was a racing incident. and how the stewards didn't even bother to investigate it. Vettel was basically blaming Kvyat as an excuse for hitting his teammate. since the boss Marchionne was watching.

Kvyat did nothing wrong

This.
If anyone was at fault, it was Gimi.
>Siding with a guy who won't even have a seat next year over the most successful driver on the grid
>>66934979
who are you quoting?
And why do have such awful opinions?
>>66928997
yeah that was a pretty aggressive move by kvyat. vettel's right he was lucky.
>>66935153
I feel as if kimi was thinking that he could push vettel more inside without knowing that kvyat was coming in hot
>>66935153
there was room for a car and then some, vettel's fault for not defending the turn better. If you aren't going to go for the easy overtake like Kvyat had, why bother racing at all?
>>66931663
don't remind me
at least the muddy cars looked cool
>>66935219
This. If Kimi kept his line nothing happens.
Dubs and gimi wins Russia :DDD
>>66929119
>>66935355
i could just imagine the shit hulkenburg is getting for that.
>>66935381
yeah but he locked up and tried to correct right when kvyat was torpedoing. vettel was just caught in the middle.
>>66930979
The tire pressures are to stop them from exploding.
>>66935323
when Kimi slipped out Vettel took the extra room for a later apex, but yeah all in all just a racing incident
>>66935323
It's true. And then Bottas did the same thing and got two (2) points on his license.
>>66935405
As far from dubs as possible.

>maximumdamagecontrol.jpg
I'm so glad Kvyat put Vettel in his place
>Well that's racing
Kimi shouldn't have tried to cut back in like that after Vettel left a massive fucking gap and Kimi fucked up on the first corner and got too close to the front two and had to break and forcing Vettel to slow down. Mostly Kimi's fault imo
Both the Ferrari's are to blame, Kvyat did nothing wrong
>>66939304
There was no way Kimi would have known Fiat was there though. Fiat was right that he should have just gotten out of it, the wedge was going to close one way or another.
>>66939183
it's good, but I prefer Spa 2008
https://vimeo.com/38367974
>>66931428
Yeah which is one race away, assuming they get it fixed for the Spanish GP itself
>>66935456
It says a lot about Vettel that he was basically unable to take any sort of blame for this incident. It's the same as in China just to a much greater effect
I don't remember if anyone actually got a penalty for this but Vettel was pretty insistent afterwards that it wasn't his fault even though he made the wheel movement that resulted in the crash.
>>66939831
Vettels a cunt
Pretty sure Schumacher was a cunt
Hamilton is a certified A+ cunt
Point is, to be great you've mostly got to be a cunt. You don't become #1 by looking out for other people.
There are of course always exceptions to the rule, but remember anons
>Great men are seldom good. Good men are seldom great.
>>66939366
>>66939831
But to completely back off in that sort of situation in the first corner can lead to someone running into the back of you, which is more likely to be race-ending than potentially losing a front wing would be.

The difference also being that the in and out of car personalities are often quite different. I think even Schumi could show humility and be a nice guy out of the car, same with Senna despite the fact that they were both the biggest cunts in the world when racing.
So many of Senna's overtakes were basically what Kvyat did, or what Kimi did on Bottas in Sochi, basically crazy dives, get out of the way or we crash.
Senna also whined about safety and how things need to be safe whilst simultaneously intentionally crashing into rivals and forcing people off track in high speed corners.

>>66940930
>>66940930
He's pretty smart about it though as he's basically rented it out as a billboard for the past 40 years, supposedly at times for millions of dollars per season
It's also why Hulkenberg wears a DEKRA hat at all times despite it not being a Force India or Sergio Perez sponsor. He even explained it at a notebook or something and said that he wanted a private jet to get to the races with so he wears a DEKRA hat and they give him free flights around the world, which isn't too bad of a deal IMO
>>66940970
>So many of Senna's overtakes were basically what Kvyat did, or what Kimi did on Bottas in Sochi, basically crazy dives, get out of the way or we crash.
kvyat's move was in no way crazy. vettel runs wide for an earlier double apex, leaving a massive gap and is unpleasantly surprised when someone appears in that gap.

>Marcus Ericsson going 15th, around 0.8s adrift of Grosjean but ahead of team-mate Felipe Nasr who continues to experience dire handling difficulties with his particular chassis for reasons the team has not yet established. He’s due to get a new chassis for Spain and it cannot come soon enough for him. Unpredictable behaviour under braking and serious time-consuming understeer in the longer corners left him deeply frustrated
http://www.motorsportmagazine.com/f1/reports/2016-chinese-grand-prix/
>>66942119
>>66942200
It's not really swapping the whole car though as power unit, gearboxes and other components that you have a set number of are on a per-driver basis and I highly doubt you could just switch cars. I don't see why Ericsson shouldn't though. If Nasr is better all of a sudden he can just agree that yea Sauber fucked up the other chassis, and if Nasr fails to be any better, he is effectively blowing himself the fuck out in extremely embarrassing manner, raising Ericsson's achievements to a new light.
It's not like Sauber has the money to do anything else so might as well fuck around and switch the cars around.
>>66942134
Yeah, Tilke is so blameless in all of this. FIA and Bernie and whoever actually accept all of his designs, probably even request them beforehand. Tilke knows how to design good tracks (Turkey, Malaysia) and is a racer (albeit amateur) himself, so it's not like he just draws some shit on paper and then proceeds to make it like oops it turned out shit oh well. With modern technology and design, there are very few unforeseen circumstances that arise when actually racing on these track designs. There are probably tens if not hundreds of FIA/FOM/F1 general personnel who know exactly what the tracks are going to be like and how the racing is going to be.
F1 priorities are as follows:
>ultra safe carpark tier because can't have people die because muh senna and negative press
>wide track so easy to overtake
>DRS zone straight for OVERTAKES and SHOW
>fuckload of grandstands in every corner
>located somewhere with a lot of people and a lot of money or potential future markets for manufacturers
>sweet as fuck paddock for millionaires and VIPS and FIA personnel

More kvyat's fault then vettel's though
>>66945491
why should a race car driver be expected to just chill when a perfectly fine gap just opened up ahead of him? the start is one of the few chances you get each race to overtake, he did exactly what he should.
Why is there such a discussion over the Kvyat/Raikkonen/Vettel collision?
>Gimi goes wide
>Vettel takes extra space for a better line into the corner
>Kvyat sees space and takes it
>Gimi moves back onto his line a bit to make sure he makes the corner, not knowing Kvyat is there
>Vettel has nowhere to go
It's the definition of a first-lap racing incident. Any of the driver's actions would have been fine on their own, but combined, resulted in collision. It's hardly Kimi's fault because he was just trying to recover. It's not Kvyat's fault that he went into a viable space. It's not Vettel's fault that the other two converged upon him at the same time and left him with nowhere to go.
There was a webm posted here last thread that showed Vettel's on-board alongside Kvyat's and you can clearly see there was nothing malicious or dangerous from any party.

Well he was only up that high because everyone else took a pitstop ~lap 5, then he did which is where you see the big fall. After that I don't know
>>66945929
that I have experienced
Senna days > Schumi days > Modern F1
But it could be massive nostalgia talking. And it's still pretty good now. Schumi days were pretty boring at times but the cars were more exciting, which does matter. Today is more exciting on track but the cars are a bit dull and some of the directions F1 has gone in aren't for me.
>>66945929
Senna to just before Vettel
>>66945929
As much as I love Schumi, I think F1 was better when reliability wasn't bulletproof. So I'd say anything pre-1998 was good. Even if on track action wasn't so great (which was often the case even in the 80s), reliability woes added some form of drama to both races and championships.
Around the late 90s, they really began tightening up reliability up and down the grid, mostly due to Brawn and Byrne making the Ferrari increasingly bulletproof.
In fact, the reason modern F1 has to resort to meme methods to artificially spice up the action is because one major source of drama (reliability) has been taken out of the equation, for the most part, in the last decade. Unreliable cars are major exceptions to the norm (McLaren 2012) at the front.

There needs to be at least one, preferrably two banzai over-aggressive Japanese drivers on the grid at all times.
Also Kobayashi probably shouldn't have fucked up his relationship with Ferrari for the sake of getting to drive 1 season in the shitty Caterham. I mean if he played his cards right he could have been a reserve driver for Ferrari and maybe even be in contention for a Haas seat but I guess Caterham with Marcus was worth it

fucking kek. yes, i know the context.
These new rules in ’14 seemed to target Red Bull and Newey. No more exhaust-blown rear diffusers, more restricted aero designs and stricter use of the middle of the front wings, more emphasis on the importance of the Power Unit over chassis. More restrictions overall on how you design an F1 car just to handicap Newey. It’s like these new rules are anti-Newey & Red Bull.
It's like F1 wanted to break up their dominance but now it's been replaced by mwl.

Perhaps but F1 needed to be able to have its technology impact road technology once again so car manufacturers actually gave a shit about it again.
You could say since driving aids and computerized suspension, something that became the norm in road cars after being pioneered in F1 along with sequential gearboxes prior, was banned in 1994 F1 has made no real non aerodynamic innovations, and things like double diffusers or exhaust blown diffusers, and elaborate front wings have no place in the real world.
It was a step in the right direction, because as we saw manufacturers were dropping out post 2008 because hundreds of millions on moulding carbon fibre bits into ways that will be obsolete or banned in a few months only to lose to Newey and Fingerboy was silly. If we changed the rules sooner we'd still have BMW and Toyota.

man, if they would allow every active system that was banned in 1994. cars would be 10 seconds per lap faster than in 2015

It's pretty clear that Grosjean was positioning himself in the middle of the track and corner to block any overtake attempt and intentionally braked early because in an ideal racing situation this would kill Verstappen's momentum for going up the hill.
Grosjean was too radical with his breaking point change and Verstappen was too eager with his overtaking. And if you look at Verstappen's braking point, it's not too late at all. And Grosjean's driving is basically "legal weaving" as he goes to the inside to block and then starts moving back to the outside to catch the racing line, which basically blocks the whole track on something as narrow as Monaco. I don't know if there's an actual rule saying you can't alter your braking point too much but if there is then Grosjean was definitely on the limit on this one.
>>66958132
>>66958260
>>66958422
Honestly the Red Bull looks better to drive than the Ferrari by a lot, maybe even better than the Mercedes. There's almost no corrections on the wheel and he basically slams the throttle with the wheels turned and there's no oversteer.
Also what changed 2015 to 2016 that cars are now suddenly able to race each other like this for several laps without issue?
Also Hamilton was driving like total shit this race. Maybe it was the damage to his car but he was out of position so many times and Ricciardo's overtake was all Hamilton's fault pretty much
>>66962947
>Also Hamilton was driving like total shit this race. Maybe it was the damage to his car but he was out of position so many times and Ricciardo's overtake was all Hamilton's fault pretty much
You're damned right - Hamilton was entering corners from nearly the middle of the track in a couple of cases - and it's not like they were compromised corners where a good exit onto a straight was the priority.
>Honestly the Red Bull looks better to drive than the Ferrari by a lot, maybe even better than the Mercedes. There's almost no corrections on the wheel and he basically slams the throttle with the wheels turned and there's no oversteer.
Considering driveability was the biggest complaint in the RB10's early days, I wonder if that's been the focus of their development with a shitty power unit?
>>66962362
Has he gone full mental?
>>66962947

I also reckon Newey's 'retirement' was really just from the public eye.
>>66963028
>>66962362
It says a lot that in an article that praises Hitler, demeans woman and cries for Putin's rule over Europe... that a call for SIX American races is absolutely and totally the most utterly batshit insane thing in the interview
>>66963064
Yeah there's talk that he's done with the America's Cup work, and that the deal with Aston - which may involve Newey's assistance on an AM hypercar - was conditional on his involvement in the F1 cars.
>>66949830
Nah, those vanity-plate, pseudo-step nose aesthetic abortions need to be consigned to history as a lesson for rulemakers not to repeat themselves.
>>66953610
One of the greatest races of all time.
>>66963064
>>66963075
I really don't think Newey is retired. He is one of the most, if not the most desireable people in F1 and has recently rejected huge salaries from Ferrari to remain at Red Bull (or possible that Red Bull simply outbidded Ferrari).
He was at the pre-season tests. He was at many races last year despite being "retired". Still has a desk and office etc at Red Bull as shown by the recent tour of the factory. I think his retirement simply refers to a reduced workload, which in practice means that he doesn't show up to each race anymore and probably isn't so concerned about the logistics and overall management of the design operation and is simply more focused on design itself. This is of course just speculation, but even if he was truly retired, I'm sure he has produced a few good proteges along the way to carry on his work.
Also regarding the driveability, I think a lot of that stemmed from the PU itself and the uneven delivery of power etc. Red Bull introduced that one guy to Renault who is now fully employed by Renault and I can bet that his job is to make the engine more suited to what Red Bull requests/requested in the first place. The engine performance really doesn't even seem that bad anymore. I mean Ricciardo overtook le straightline machine Williams on a straight, albeit with DRS but that overtake was still easy-mode regardless and that's not what it was like in 2014 or 2015 at all

He could mean the American continents, not just the USA.
So we'd have USA, Canada, Brazil, Argentina, Mexico and a second race in the US or something.

Pay TV sheckels
>>66964095
They could get most of those viewers back by switching back to free tv
But they don't care about viewership
>>66964193
>>66964203
If it was for free on TV, would you prefer to see it there or at your PC in streaming at the same quality?
I just don't think people care enough about VWL or MWL to sit in a sofa while watching it, and the streaming options are much better because you can do other shit while watching on the background
For example in Spain we had official free streaming (region blocked) for years (first TV3 and then Antena 3) and it was much preferable to TV. I'd like to see the reduced audiences with the numbers from online watching included and see how big the drop actually is.
I don't think the sport has lost audience, I'd rather say it has similar or more, but since it has switched to Internet, TV stations want to close the sport from TV for free (not rentable cause people don't want to watch it on TV anyway) and offer it online with more options and under paid money and more ads to compensate for TV audience
>>66964095
Why is it on the decline in the UK though?
British WDC 2 years running. A considerable percentage of drivers are British. I thought Brits loved Hamilton anyway?
>>66964261
pretty sure the only brits that like hamilton dont watch f1
>>66964261
Because it switched from BBC to Sky.
>>66964243
this desu, obviously i think some of those 1/3 of the audience has fallen out of love with the sport, but i think most of them are just moving past television, like most people. the one part that hasn't moved past television is the sport itself. which is why stats like that scares f1 into making shit decisions that'll supposedly "enhance the show".
>>66964261
sky isn't worth paying for.
when you think about it, if you have sky, you are giving david croft, simon lazenby, johnny herbert, ted kravitz, damon hill and paul di resta money. fuck that. i especially hate croft and lazenby
That Kvyat-Vettel incident just highlights the fact how retarded the drive-through penalty was that Bottas got when he hit Hamilton.
What changes have been made between 2015 and 2016 that suddenly makes following and overtaking very possible now even when both cars are on the same tires?
>PU's are mostly the same, just a bit better, <aero is better than ever (should make overtaking and following harder)
>tires are just about the same as last year
Sure the different tire strategies does increase the overtakes but even without it the cars seem to be much better in dirty air overall. What happened?

This whole female F1 driver debate is so stupid anyway. The avenues are open. If a woman wants to become an F1 driver and is willing to dedicate as much time as the current average F1 driver to get there, I'm sure they will. In fact, it would probably be slightly easier
F1 and driving in general is one of the few high level "sports" where theoretically men and women can share the playingfield without any noticeable advantage for either gender. It's not physique or strength, based or even reliant at this point anymore. There's no "inherent sexism" as it is a money (backing) and merit driven type of sport. There are many female drivers who have raced in Formula E, Indycar, NASCAR, Rally etc and none of them really speak about brutal sexism and ridicule they have to face in order to do what they do. Female drivers are just about expected and approved in every prominent racing series. And if they do well, great. It's just that they rarely do.
I'm ok with a female driver. There is no problem with this. But F1 doesn't NEED an F1 driver much more than it needs drivers from any specific country.
Equality comes form equal opportunity to achieve the same goals, not from automatic quotas based on gender rather than merit as a human. I don't know why this is so hard to understand and seemingly taboo to talk about?

>I have to laugh on the rare occasion when a woman says she doesn't experience sexism in racing. Just last week, while I was completely in the zone, hustling from one pit to another, a crew member stopped me to tell me I need to smile. Two years ago, there was a crew member who did the same thing to me every time I walked by, telling me I was prettier when I smiled
Nobody demeans the female gender and women as a whole by telling them to smile. People generally like people who smile. This is a total "microagression" because there's no truly malicious sexist meaning behind telling someone to smile
And then,
>Just as the actions of one can reflect on the many (as again, us women know all too well in this sport), I certainly hope my note to you doesn't paint men in the sport as ignorant or misogynistic, because the truth is, the majority aren't. The men I have the pleasure of working with in the paddock treat me as their equal; no special attention, no disrespect.
So even she says that it's only a small minority and most of the men are respectful and accepting of her as a female. So it's an outlier statistic. Given how old many of the key personnel in F1 are, I wouldn't be surprised to see plenty of current or recently-retired people with WW2-era archaic opinions, e.g. hating Schumacher for being a "Kraut" or hating Japanese drivers etc. And again, I'm sure there are people in the paddock and even in the FIA who have something against Hamilton because he's black. And then there's people in power who just hate specific drivers for no real racial or nationalist reasons, and base their decisions on this opinion.
There's no "criticism-free" 100% easy-mode in life. Some have it easier than others but she doesn't really paint a picture of a horrible situation that is unbearable. What does she want to achieve or change?

Indonesia has 250 million people how hard is it to find the total 15 million euros somewhere?
He should probably try and be a bit more aggressive and noticeable in the races considering how short-lived his career is looking to be

Kobayashi escapes with his hands and suspension intact after the crash. This is why. Kamui is turning into the corner while looking at his side mirror. Kamui stops turning the car and goes straight after looking at the carnage behind him. He keeps looking at his side mirror the entire time and ignoring his natural reaction, intentionally steers back into the crash. He positions his car to avoid Grosjean's car. Again still looking at his side mirror he turns hard to the left. He makes one final adjustment still holding the wheel and as soon as Fernando's rear wheel touches his front right he lets go of the steering wheel saving his hands. Because of these adjustments Fernando's real wheel drivers over Kamui's front right without taking damage. This is then followed by Hamilton's rear wheel driving over Kobayashi's front right. Again not doing any damage to the suspension. Hamilton's car slides off like butter off Kamui's front right. Now Kamui quickly regains control of his car as it is going to rear end Hamilton. He veers to the right and drives away, completing the race.

You're missing the point. They left because running their f1 teams became pointless and a total waste of money. It contributed nothing to the development of road cars as it was deteriorating into an aerodynamics battle. Toyota is willing to spend hundreds of millions on motorsport if it makes sense, hence why it only took them a couple years after leaving f1 to jump right into WEC, which isn't just an aero race.

F1 car tyres don't do to well with banking for one, but more importantly Daytona only has one real overtu king spot when we are talking about F1 speeds here and that's probably turn 1, I doubt the chicane would be a good spot for passing

>Bernie Ecclestone says female drivers would "not be taken seriously" in Formula 1 and believes they are "not physically" able to drive a car fast.
>He added that Russian president Vladimir Putin "should be running Europe" and expressed support for US presidential candidate Donald Trump.
>The 85-year-old Englishman also claimed immigrants have not made a contribution to the United Kingdom.
>It is not the first time Ecclestone has caused controversy. In 2009, he praised Adolf Hitler as a man "who was able to get things done".

>>66970448
who is a better candidate?
>>66970369
Wasn't Vettel the first WDC to fail to win a race the year after in which his teammate did score a victory? or at least one of the few?
>>66970459
Literally anybody else, not that it matters. All the shady shit going on with polling places is leading us to Hillary no matter what.
>>66970369
Put Vettel, Alonso, and Hamilton in the same car for a season, who wins? Feel free to add in any current driver you think is on their level (protip: there isn't any)
>>66970551
Alonso's been out of a fast car for too long. Hamilton is too complacent now. Vettel would win.
>>66970551
I think it's getting pretty clear that it's Vettel. Alonso is getting more prone to errors, Lewis has lost his edge.
>>66970483
I think so, yes.
Also in the news:

>>66970551
Alonso overall, assuming his senses haven't been potatoed
Quali probably Vettel. Rosberg and Hamilton are both excellent qualifiers as well
If you actually had the whole grid in the same car with no dirty cheating tricks, I am pretty sure that Button and Massa would also be quite close to the front. Not the best on the grid but they are good performers overall
>>66972483
oh, sorry m8. i'm recording the show and doing other things.

This is honestly a better protection against smaller debris and pieces and less aesthetically morbid than the halo. If they have to choose one, I'd much rather go with this

If I were American I'd probably vote for Trump. I'm not even that right wing. I just think it would be funny. Plus, all the other candidates are fucking awful.

>We (older drivers) were around when we got out of the car and we felt dizzy because it was so physical. It was how big your balls were in high speed corners and how strong your neck was and now it's a very different situation

Please, Trump wouldn't be an amazing president but it's not like he'd be terrible either. He'd probably do jack shit once the wall gets put up. Only people who seriously have to worry are muzzies and illegals. For everyone else it'll just be business as usual, which albeit is still shit, but it's not country ending shit.
>>66977278
