It means that when Alonso goes to Mercedes next year, he´ll once again have jumped ship at the exact wrong time
>>67652764
old was great, new is better but a bit too small imo
>>67652790
fucking kek!
>>67652697
>Button fastest in testing
Lol no
And his time was done on the supersofts.
McLaren Honda are not progressing fast enough compared to the other teams anyways.
>>67652744
Old Zandvoort was my favorite track when playing on my PC. Watching real life onboard laps there was fucking amazing. It was so fucking fast and you needed to have good skills to not fuck up. If I was a millionaire I would definitely pay for at least a partial reconstruction of the old track and a F1 tier runoff areas and shit.
>>67652799
Really? It looks a bit too fiddly, especially for F1. But I've never driven on it in a sim or seen a race there so I can't really tell. Pic related is what looks to me as the best layout, although after the chicanes was alright too IMO.
>>67652744
it was impossible before, but since prince bernhard jr is the new owner anything could happen. He's a racer himself and does really want to get f1 back.
Formule 1
Misschien, fluisteren raceliefhebbers, brengt zijn statuur zelfs het allerhoogste wel binnen handbereik: de terugkeer van de Formule 1, het machtige vlaggenschip van de autosport. 30 jaar geleden deed het F1-circus Zandvoort voor het laatst aan, toen nog met namen als Niki Lauda en Alain Prost. In de lokale politiek is het enthousiasme al niet meer te temperen: het college doet zelfs al onderzoek naar de haalbaarheid van een nieuwe Formule 1-race.
,,Er is een enorme investering vanuit het bedrijfsleven voor nodig, maar juist nu is dat denkbaar,'' zegt VVD-raadslid Jerry Kramer, initiator van het onderzoek. Hij denkt aan een model waarin Zandvoort eens in de 3 of 4 jaar een Grand Prix organiseert. ,,Dat Bernhard het circuit gaat overnemen, maakt de kans alleen maar groter. Voor een prins gaan nu eenmaal deuren open die anders gesloten blijven.''

>>67652845
>It looks a bit too fiddly, especially for F1
by small i meant straights are too short and some corners are too close together, but that description works too i guess. new zandvoort is perfect for formula 3 and i'm sure for gp3/fr3.5 cars also, but when you get to formula 1 speeds it does seem a bid fiddly.
>>67652845
You can drive it in Grand Prix Legends, enjoy a lap

>>67652870
>but since prince bernhard jr is the new owner
oww nice
finally a good way to spend our tax money
>>67652870
Nice didn't know they got a new owner, they would still have to do massive renovations, etc. tho and the cost to just hosting a race is already sky high. We can hope tho.
>>67652845
>>67652887
The new circuit has more resemblance to Spa in my opinion. I liked the old more as well, just that simplicity of it.
>all these dutch posters
>>67653034
are you upset that ricciardo might fade?
It's scary seeing Kimi have a good laugh:

>>67653098
Where can I watch full conference?
>>67652870
The problem isn't raising the funds to organize an F1 race (around 30 mil if I remember), but the huge amount of money and time it would cost to get the infrastructure around the circuit fit to host 100k people. The 2 N-roads are unfit to handle that, and there's also a huge lack of parking space. Since it's all protected nature it would require years of lobbying to get the approval for expanding the infrastructure and the province would have to pump in millions. By that time our dear friend Max might be a potato already.
>>67653155
>He thinks going to Ferrari is a good idea.
>>67653416
i mean im a ferrari fan
>>67653225
we will see how that works out on the Familie Racedagen in june, since they are aiming on 100k visitors.
Still, a man can dream. If they can organise a race in fucking Baku of all places, we should be able to as well.
Sometime I get really stiffened nipples and it almost hurts
>>67653882
Stop letting your brother sniff your cunt
>>67653489
100k on 1 day? You best be going by bike or train then, as it will be a fucking massacre on the roads.
t. have been to Zandvoort for much smaller events
t. have also been to Assen during MotoGP
Best bet would be a street circuit in Rotterdam/Maasvlakte

Also reminds me of those 1984 winglets those cars had.
is SkyF1 or Channel 4 or anyone going to broadcast the Spanish tests?
Before anyone thinks Williams plan on running this wing in the future, they're not.
The wing's illegal, it's to simulate 2017 downforce levels.

>dat tight end on 2016 cars

>>67654968
if he ends up losing this champ I can see how he would
he'd have to fuck up pretty bad for that though
>>67655154
>bring 10 ultrasofts
>end up doing a 1 stop race with used softs because Red Bull now has a goat engine and can go faster with supersofts
>>67655154
> Toro Rosso 3 softs.
Red Bull is going to use TR to hold up Mercedes and perform an undercut.
>>67655352
this
>>67655225
i just can't see how it would be a good decision for his career, unless Ferrari spends his tokens to somehow surpass the mercs. He got cucked so hard by schumi and by his own team so much with developmental cars, I just can't see how after all this time he would want to quit, when he has a dominant car.
I think Pérez or Magnussen could be his replacements.
>>67655154
hardly surprising considering the so called supersoft would probably cover the entire race distance
>>67655352
Monaco is a shit circuit that it's only in the calendar because Muh nostalgia, an undercut could help red bull only after the first pit stop, but if rosberg or hamilton have a quick start nad can distance themselves in the first chicane it could be useless.
Monaco 2016 was an inside job
>>67655472
If he was even accepted by Ferrari. If they can get nearly any driver on the grid why would they take Rosberg when kiki does the role that Ferrari want of their number 2. I don't see it and I can't see Rosberg throwing away the title this year. If he does he may as well go to DTM.
Does Magnussen bring sponsorship? Perez will probably want out of Force India but the grid feels so stagnant that I don't know where they'd go. Besides Grosjean thinks he's getting the Ferrari drive so I would be more sensible for Mercedes and Rosberg to stay together.
Can't wait to see what crazy "racing incident" Hamilton gets into next :^)

>Rosberg flirting with ferrari
Source? He just renewed his contract for 2017.
Also I don't see why red bull would bring new engine to monaco which doesn't requier engine power much. I think some teams will use already used engine for monaco

It's okay binland.
The first step is acceptance.
>>67655746
Dunno, haven't thought about the sponsorship deals. I just think that Pérez and Magnussen are the most capable pilots in the grid that I could see easily leaving their scuderias to fight for real prizes.
>>67654890
good, that car lack of downforce is a joke
>>67656167

About people hating on the dutchbros, i think it's pretty obvious that when an sportsman from your country does well, you become more interested in that sport. Dutch posters shouldn't justify anything, I too would be going mental if a driver from my country won a F1 GP - last time was 11 years before i was even born :^(
>>67656350
>1999 Malaysian Grand Prix
I don't think we will ever have another driver on the grid. At least I get to be a neutral.
>>67656167
Amxterdam
mad amx hype will eventually die down this year just like Haas did. He might get a couple podiums at best throughout the rest of the season.
>>67656350
Yeah but a driver from your country wouldn't be a cunt.
Or rather they would be but everyone would like him for being a bit of a cunt.
Max (and pretty much every dutch athlete) is just an annoyingly, hyped cunt.
I don't feel any sort of residual kind of good feeling from him winning compared to other nations getting a win.
>>67656590
Thats just racist m8
>>67656590

I admit some fault for chatting shit too early. Good game, binland.
>>67656590
>>67656350
Also a driver from your country would not be hyped to the frankly astoundingly stupid levels Max has been.
He has been hyped for every single day of his fucking life.
This is a child that was produced solely because his dad wanted to make up for the fact he was shit.
>>67656684
Because you all think your amazingly brilliant and more often than not you actually are amazingly brilliant.
I hate that. I hate perfection like that. I'm British, I prefer the romanticism of failure. It's what we fucking do.
I want Max to fail so I can like him.
Being a child prodigy, turning up, bragging that you are amazing, being in fact amazing & winning everything and then taking your hot, race driver/hockey playing girlfriend away from the circuit to fuck her over a windmill shaped bed of chocolate & tulips is so bloody boring.
>>67657214
Don't worry, we are great at choking. He will fall flat on his face at some point, just like everyone else.
>>67656350
Suzuka 1998 was the first race I watched. Was practically forced to watch it by my dad because Meme Häkkinen was going to win the championship. Haven't missed a race since.
>>67657260
>He will fall flat on his face at some point
Can't make him any uglier
>>67656590
He's a very likeable person tbqh.
There's a guatemalan 15 year old racing in the Italian F4 this season. He has done fairly decently. I cant imagine the hupe here if he manages to reach F1.

>>67656590
>Yeah but a driver from your country wouldn't be a cunt.
goddamn, please no. good thing this piece of turd completely failed in F1, he is still an insufferable faggot in argie Turismo Carretera.
>>67657214
also Mazzacane only got a F1 spot (and a racing carreer in general) because his father is the president of the argentinian racing drivers asociation, and he moved some strings. Tuero was the last argie driver that had some capability, but he was doomed in minardi and maybe he was too young still.
I do like max however. been rooting for him and sainz since last year. actually the morning of the race I told my gf that if Max won it, i would invite my friends over and make a big asado, and I kept that promise :)
also the good thing of not having drivers from your country is that i keep being the only argie around which makes me feel somewhat special.

actually i lurk the spanish F1 websites a lot and pretty much every spaniard hates alonso, like i don't even understand why.
like yesterday i was looking at a Manor news article there and in the comments it was: "oh, yeah, this guy Pascal has some future, unlike that shithead alonso"
literally they bash against him even in news unrelated to him.
>>67656350
I started watching daddy Jos mess up the gravel in 1994 in benneton, mostly because a mate of mine owned Grand Prix 2 which we played religiously for 2 years. Back then I hated Damon Hill and loved Jean Alesi and especially Eddie Irvine from 1996 on. I lost interest around 2000, and started watching again with max entering in 2014. Been shitposting here since the start of the 2015 season. So yeah I guess you are right in my case.
>>67660671
Probably just a defense mechanism because he isnt winning.

Speaking of the Dutchfags on this board. It's just like that irl.
I've been a fan of mad amx since his first race last year.
I wear a Max Verstappen 33 cap irl. (Still toro rosso, where's the red bull hurry up RBR)
I went to see the Belgian GP at Spa-Francorchamps, and the the British GP in Silverstone last year.
Sometimes I wear it in public and my friends and family would never care about for the cap or Verstappen.
Now, when I wear the cap everyone is like woooow verstappen did you see the race?!?!
Then the so called normies act like they know everything about Formula 1 and Max Verstappen and I've been watching it since 1991.
Verstappen memes popping up everywhere and this is just not a good feel at all.
Cognitive dissonance is a bitch.
That being said, here's a mad amx meme. Totally sarcastic, of course.
>>67661182
Whats your point, original number one fan?
>>67661002
My hero along with Piquet, Jackie, Hakkinen and Gimi.
Why was Prost so based? watching those old races with Prost leading and the car looks so fucking chill, like he's cruising on a sunday afternoon.
>>67660880
I did this with /f1/ pre-season.
Curious how new results match up
You have to be kidding me.
>>67661182
So? I've been a fan of kimi since his sauber days and now everyone is like "lol he knows what he's doing" which makes me wanna kill myself but so what, he's still the cool motherfucker he ever was for me since back then, just ignore the newfags.
>>67661182
i dont know if you are autistic or just shitposting, but you sound like a sport hipster.
>> i liked amx before anyone else did
>>67661219
There's no point. Just that I'm agreeing with the original post that said there's too many Dutchfags here
lewis hamilton will sustain a serious injury within the next week.
>>67661148

Do you think the pic related good news for F1?

>>67661322
also, what do you think caused the increase in popularity?
>>67660731
21 yrs old, following F1 ever since Schumi wrecked his legs in Silverstone 1999, and rooted for him ever since.
Also /lifelong/ if it concerns Mad Max. It's weird how people younger than me have won Grand Prix' now.

And I'm not entirely sure, when I was a kid I used to watch F1 but I had no idea of anything because no one else but me watched it in the family.
The first season I remember kinda ok is the Hakkinen years.
After that the ones I remember the most were the Schumi, JPM, Kimi, ones, followed obviously by the rest.
I didn't pay much attention in 2008 because it was my final year in high school and it was kinda hard.
I remember very clearly the time Kimi got fucked by the mclaren in the last lap, when Button got his first win, Alonso winning, JPM and his fucking comments, etc.

18 (younger than AMX), have been watching since I can remember, though I have been really following it since 2008. It's definitely something between me and my dad, so seeing the Spain GP was very cool and emotional. (God bless Olav mol)
And I do want to say that only after last GP I remembered that /sp/ might actually have generals about f1, so that's why I am new to the threads. (Maybe that's the case with other dutchies too.)
>>67661843
I don't know what happened to it.

Anyway Long Beach has had a number of layout but from 1975 to 1982 it had a downhill section called linden avenue
Can anyone post the picture of Mika Hakkinen's aborted attempt on Schumi in relation to Hamilton's failed attempt on Rosberg?
>just watched the race

I dont think its impossible
Why did amx replace kvyat anyway?
Was it because kvyat was too crazy and russian?
>>67665868
Honestly, after the way this season is going and with contracts expiring, I think Mercedes will change one of their drivers.
Atmosphere in the team must be getting really bad, and Its probably good for them to generate some press with a driver swap and a new teammate battle.
>>67666021
If thats the case I hope its Choco taking a sabatical.
>>67666021
I think it is safe to say Rosberg will gtfo on his own will if he wins the championship, equalling to his dead feat is good enough for him

>>67660731
I'm 19. Started watching F1 with my dad. My first memorie of the sport was Trulli crashing. Dont know when or were, but it was in a blue car, son it was in either 98 or 99. Spent most of my childhood playing Grand Prix 3 and F1 Challenge. Started actually watching F1 in the last races of 2006. It really shocked me when my dad told me that Minardi and Jordan were no longer in F1. 2007 was my first whole season, an the best I've ever seen. Started watching most races of all seasons of the 80s and 90s two years ago.
>>67660731
23.
Been watching it since 5 years old with my dad (went to argie GP in 1998) specially when Tuero and Mazzashit were there. We were also argentinian Turismo Carretera fans, so even if there wasn't any F1 still every sunday was a race day. After tuero and mazzashit quit F1 my dad stopped watching so i kept watching it by myself. even the fucked up time zone ones, my mom would program the VCR so i could watch them when i woke up.
i'm actually grateful /f1/ exists because none of my friends like F1, neither at work, so this is the only place where i can find people to discuss it. My gf didnt like it either but with time she grew fond of it and now she watches the races with me, even if it means waking up pretty early. i really appreciate that.

18. Been watching since 2004. Been a fan of whoever's driving for Ferrari since Schumacher's 2006 retirement. It's been disappointing.
>>67665651
HOLD THE FUCK UP, I'VE GOT THIS.
I think they would like to keep Kimi unless Rosberg wins the WDC, and if he doesn't but is cheaper than Kimi, it may happen.
But if Rosberg wins and stays at Merc (since him and Merc are already talking about his 2017 contract) because he's less of a diva than Hamilton, where would Hamilton go? Ferrari? But I seriously doubt Ferrari want Hamilton's public.
Then, Kimi could either go to Merc (dat chinese market) or retire, or if Alonso moves to Merc, he could go to McLaren to replace Alonso and Button goes to Williams while Vandoorne takes his place. That said, Kimi said he would retire after Ferrari, but we never know because money talks and maybe Mintu likes more money.
That said, there's Wehrlein. Would Merc like to bring him in already to replace on of the leaving drivers? or would they rather keep him at manor for one more season?
Then Bottas, he's not great but he's not bad, is there a chance for him to go to a bigger team?
Also Perez, he's not great but besides the RB guys and Bottas, there's no one else filling the "alright driver" role, so there's a chance for him to move up back again to a bigger team, especially with the Mexican Tele company.

no1 knows for sure but word has it they where already set on this before China, simply because of math, amx being the better driver and redbull needing a boost.
China might have set it off in terms of timing.
desu I'm not too convinced Fiat is such a bad driver, in China it was a braking incident in T1 and Vettel losing speed on a flat tire in turn3.
But redbull is known for its harsh decisions and well, the results speak for themselves atm.
crossing my fingers it isn't an isolated event amx but I hpe Fiat recovers well. likeable chap imo.

Alonso has a three-year contract with McLaren and he earns 35 million per year. Mercedes will never ever pay 35 million per year for a driver, let alone for such an old driver like Alonso who has maybe 1 or 2 more good seasons in him.
As for Kimi, i'm sure he would rather retire after this year instead of going to some other team for a lot less pay than what he's getting at Ferrari now (and they already reduced his pay from 2015 to 2016).
Bottas is basically Heidfeld 2.0 by now, he's good enough to be a long-term F1 driver but he will never make it as a top-tier driver. 2015 was his best chance to win something and he didn't deliver. He's irrelevant for the top teams when there's so much younger talent like Verstappen, Sainz, Vandoorne, Wehrlein etc.
Now the one thing that nobody talked about yet is Ricciardo, with Verstappen being Marko's and Mateschitz's new favourite boy i'm sure he thought about joining another team, however he signed a contract for 2017 before this season started so that'll be in 2018 at the earliest.

>>67673767
So cute. I wanna hear Mintu and Kimi's radio messages, if you know what I mean.
>>67673767
People call Kimi a pussy for not trying to pass amx but he never had a real chance. You could see he was really struggling with grip in the final corner and just couldn't get the power down.
He was smart not to make an attempt because it would have been at least as bad of a dive bomb as Ricciardo on Vettel and I somewhat doubt amx would be as ready to jump out of the way to avoid an accident (not that he should, he is entitled to turn into the corner).
Can you imagine the disappointment if Kimi and amx took each other out, leading to yet another Vettel win? I was rooting for Kimi but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't extremely pleased to see AMD AMX's first win.
>>67672627
it ruins the middle of the pack's race which is really shit since that's the only place that anyone is actually racing each other
>>67673767
>>67673861
Watching the sky thing, they kept talking about how verstappen's tires were 2000 years old but never mentioned that gimi's tires were only a lap younger.
>>67673861
this, so much, I get annoyed by people saying he should've tried, VES got a great exit in the last corner and made sure he was ±0.6sec or something behind so with DRS at the end of the straight it would be like ±.3sec, which is too far away
>>67673861
max said it was pretty much like racing on ice. he was also mostly working on tyre management the last 15 laps, I assume it was the same for Kimi. Any real attempt to pass would've surely made either or both crash. 30+ laps on one set of mediums is a serious gamble. It's also why Tricky Ricky fans should shut up about RB promoting max, they split tactics to match Ferrari and max could've easily fucked up (and I really dig the bully, would've been nearly as happy to see him win)
want a claire williams gf
>>67674126
I think every reasonable fan can see that it was a risky, classic split, strategy. Having the two separate races (Ric vs. Vet, Ves vs. Rai) was the best chance both teams had to win the race. That way they were both covered if they longer strategy failed like you say and two teammates weren't sitting behind one another or battling among themselves losing time.
I think most of the backlash comes from the fact that people think Red Bull knew that the two-stop was the best strategy and gave it to Max knowing it would leave him in the best position. That's a bit tin-foil hat for me, especially as no one that weekend had gone that far on the mediums yet, but I can see why people would consider it a possibility.
>>67674078
Yeah I'm not trying to take away from Max here, he knew where he had to be just a bit faster in order to defend his position.
>>67674144

Ferrari's been my favorite team since
Been so hyped for amx
>>67674220
>> Red Bull knew that the two-stop was the best strategy
Yeah, I'm sure they did, it was also the most risky one. I remember reading once that max is fantastic on tyre management and Ricky isn't, which might have been the reasoning they picked max for the riskier strategy.
In the end, all that didn't matter to me. The most important was that we've had a seriously exciting race, the mercedes double whammy was the best thing that could happen and i'm hyped for Monaco. I'd be happy with a RB/Ferrari/Merc triple team podium, no matter who gets up there in the end. With the RB engine update in canada or monaco, ferrari possibly getting their shit together and more drama between firstberg and chocosenna it could actually be a real good season.
>>67674351
Yeah I just mean people who are calling for conspiracy believe that Red Bull knew there was very little chance it would backfire, but I personally think, as you say, that wasn't the case.
The race was extremely exciting for me while watching live, seriously one of the most on-edge viewing experiences in a long time. I watched it again yesterday and it was actually a fairly dull race all in all, certainly no Imola 2005. I don't think it will go down as a classic but fuck it was fun to watch, not knowing how it was going to end.
This season almost certainly will be a great one. Every race we have had so far has been either drama-filled, full of action, or both, which is very rare considering we are already five races in and have already been to some of the most lackluster tracks around (Sochi, Catalunya, Shanghai) . With such a large point gap between Rosberg and Hamilton there's surely plenty more to come. Add in upgrades to Ferrari and in particular Red Bull to hopefully make them within touching distance or at least equivalent to one another and I am very optimistic.
>>67674477

>Bahrain
7.5/10
First lap drama, lots of mid-field passing back and forth, Ham fighting back from early setback, close margins coming out of the pits, Vandoorne points for McLaren
>China
7.5/10
Polarizing first lap incident, mad Vettel radio, Hamilton in big trouble, Ricciardo leading before puncture, Lewis trying to pass Massa, Bottas, and Raikkonen, Kvyat podium.
>Russia
6-7/10
Another dramatic and polarizing first lap incident, extremely mad Vettel radio, more close racing for position directly out of the pits, Kimi, Hamilton, and Bottas battles, initial excitement of Ham chasing Rosberg before water pressure problem
>Spain
9/10 (live, anyways)
Collision between the two title contenders on first lap (had me off my feet). Not much actual action but I can't remember the last time, with 20 laps left to go, there were 4 drivers in clear contention for the win. Bully dive-bomb pass followed by even more mad Vettel radio. Kvyat keeping pace with Vettel and Ricciardo while on fresher tires. And of course AMD AMX.
Maybe you have different priorities than me but as far as I'm concerned this year has been pretty entertaining.

>mfw I read youtube comments again
>>67675033
why
>>67674596
There's been a lot of accidents in the first laps this season and a lot of them happening to key players (Vettel most of all) top that with Lewis's penalty shits and you get a pretty exciting season. All in all this season would be GOAT if it wasn't for Rosberg just winning everything within big margins.

I know what you guys are saying, but it just seems entertaining because the last 2 years have been extremely boring.
I agree 2016 isn't the worst tho! But a lot of the action is still in the first and last couple of laps, with not much happening in between.
I watched Spain on Monday, and I already knew Max was going to win, so that was a bummer. But if you saw the race like that, it wasn't too exiting. Just the Mercedes incident and the last couple of laps with the two Ferrari-RedBull battles. In between there was nothing.
>>67675130
rahel is bae
>>67675297
You're right, there has rarely been constant action, but it's enough for me I guess.
You're definitely right about Spain though, I said in a previous comment of mine that I watched it again yesterday and it was just not the same. It was certainly a race to watch live. The tension for the last 20 laps or so was incredible, and the Mercs crashing out was shocking. But knowing all that was all going to happen and the end result took a lot out of it.

It's been a family thing kinda. My older brother was biggest car and autosports fan between all of us, but died 8 years ago because of fucking cancer. Eventually I watched less, with my parents still watching grand prixs in the background while I kept myself occupied with different things (I couldn't bother the LOLHAMILTONWINS anymore). Than Amx showed up and now I'm back to watching it again. His victory got us all in tears last weekend. Around the start of the race, did my mom mention how she 'asked' my brother to help Max out during the race, hoping for a podium and even more. Therefore it was a pretty bizarre moment, when he actually won (I'm not really superstitious or believe in clairvoyance etc. but it was quite the special sensation)
Sorry for the blog post
>Mercedes want to alleviate driver tensions
>thinking about replacing Rosberg with FERNANDO FUCKING ALONSO
what could go wrong
Anyway I'm pretty sure that all this rumor talk about switching teams etc is just public bargaining for a higher paycheck between Rosberg and Mercedes. Rosberg doesn't seem to actually want to leave at all as he's been with the team forever, and maybe the only reason he would want to leave is to get rid of Hamilton as a teammate. He just wants more money now that he appears to be a serious contender for Hamilton and Hamilton is getting paid considerably more.
Ferrari probably welcome it as well because it makes it appear that Kimi isn't disposable so Kimi can't start requesting crazy money again. And if everything goes to shit then they could probably actually start considering a mover like Rosberg.Not that that would ever happen because no one likes Rosberg and having 2 Germans isn't a good thing. Plus Ferrari is all about dat marketing and sales shit now that they are listed in the exchange etc
Alonso would also be a retard to leave McLaren at this point. My predictions is that the lineups will mostly stay the same for next year in the big teams except Button will retire to make way for Vandoorne and Massa might retire (perhaps replaced by Button according to some rumors and history or a younger driver)
>>67676817
>Rosberg and Ham are too much for Merc
>Go with the proved terrible combo of Ham and Nando
>>67676817
mfw no more Felipe Baby
>>67676817
alonso is cool though
>>67676817
if mercedes want no driver tensions there's legit only one driver in the current grid who has demonstrated enough pace to, were they driving the wo7, be merc's barrichello - slow enough not to challenge the #1 driver but quick enough to secure a 2nd or 3rd place finish every race
and that driver is valerie bottoms
>>67676817
>and sales shit now
I think they could keep gimi only because of that, he's the face in the chinese market, which was the strongest for ferrari in recent years.
Button said he would retire after mclaren, dunno if williams has a nice offer because he won't get a championship tier car with them.
That said, he divorced Jessica, so maybe it'd be good for him to keep him distracted.
>>67676817
really hope sainz gets to drive for a better team
>>67677110
Who'd make place for him? there's clearly no room upstairs at RB.
I just wonder how much of this team rivalry turning into team-haters is actually true or at least relevant.
shit gets blown out of proportion by everyone, especially the brits are very good at finding the slightest hint of nothing and making it a huge story or potentially.
same with amx and saint, press constantly underlining their 'issues' but both remain pretty cool, going for drinks, karting, having fun.
but still when amx got promoted press was like 'omg dodged that bullet!'
bloody hell man, all the fucking wishfull-drama.
same here desu, as if Rosberg would leave Mercedes because he dislikes Hamilton kek.
or Alonso and Hamilton not being able to work as rivalries on a professional level. kek!
its not a soap opera despite what media and hysteric fans try to make from it.
and yes I know, its always been like this (on the surface)
anyways, amx world champ 2017 to 2030. even dutchies will get bored by it. screenshot this. everything I said is the truth.
>>67677324
>amx world champ 2017 to 2030
Never going to happen if Ricky is still his teammate.
Deal with it dutchfags. The trickister is faster than max
>>67677432
That's alright, we already have a new talent coming through.
>>67661148
>>67677856
Will he try Nascar again when he retires? or rather stay as a Ferrari driver for GT and the like around.
>>67677941
Probably. There was some rumor out of Finland last month that he was going to NASCAR literally next year, but I doubt it's that soon.
Is it true? Is MSC dead?
>>67679383
for more than two years now, anon
If Vettel was on the two-stop instead of Gimi would he have won?
>>67679383
it's what he gets for selling his soul to the motorsport gods. everything has a price
>>67679493
I doubt it, kimi did not lack skill or determination, I think he was realistic in knowing his limits. same limits for vettel I presume.
Maybe in the scenario that vettel took better care of his tires then kimi did and created more room to attack with at some point. but no idea how they match up in the department.
I want to know why ricciardo did not capitalize on better traction last turn to attack vettel as amx capitalized it in defending.
surely he should have been able to?
or maybe its a matter of clean air for amx vs dirty air for ricciardo. we know how super sensitive these cars are.

It's just the nature of the Barcelona track. Its impossible to follow a car through the final corner because its a fast one and everyone who follows gets understeer like crazy which basically kills your speed down the straight. It's also just about the only real overtake opportunity in a situation where the car in front doesn't make a mistake. It's not the first time it has happened, it happened last year, it happened with Maldonado and Alonso etc. It's just extremely difficult to overtake and the car in front has a huge advantage coming to the straight.
In this sense Max was smart because he just maximized the exit of that corner and focused on not making a mistake there, and Kimi was "smart" in the sense that he didn't try a crazy divebomb on le divebomb kid (can you imagine the outrage if Kimi took out Max and himself from the lead?). Its a bit frustrating to see him "not try" but I guess he knows very well when there is a reasonable chance of overtaking and when there isn't. He could have done something like Ricciardo tried and kill himself or Max or his tires which he didn't
I do think Kimi and the Ferraris were faster for 2/3rds of the lap with Red Bull having an advantage in the final sector where it counts.
>>67681148
Yeah, in one of the post-race interviews Kimi said that he could've tried to do an overtake but that it probably wouldn't end up nice for either driver.
mad amx
>>67679383

unless he has a very wealthy private backer ala ericson.

Fuck you Sutil why'd you glass that french faggot you were the closest thing to having one
>>67683926
i wonder if he feels responsible for what happened to bianchi
he was right there, watching him die. he was probably the last person bianchi saw before he lost consciousness
>>67683926
lux deserved it, and sutil had a '15 sauber contract, but lolmonisha
>>67684001
He had the thousand yard stare when they pulled Binchi out of the car so yeah i suppose he felt a bit responsible, he did the right thing not trying to pull him out of the car by himself though.
>>67684037
fuck nigger senna for not testifying in his favor, pussy nigga always doing what papa nigger and Ron tell him to
>>67676817
how about they replace the nigger instead?

with wehrlein, who isn't much faster than haryanto, kek.
>>67672383
i'd actually like for the blue flag to be cut, at least for a season.
there was a pretty cool vid in youtube showing great F1 overtakes during the 90s where you used the backmarkers as help for the overtakers. shame i can't find it now :(
>>67683912
pls no bully
>>67684230
But why? Makes no sense from Mercs pespective.
Hamilton won't leave Mercedes until the second they become uncompetitive. At that point he is going to take a "strategic sabbatical" or somehow jew himself into the next dominant team.
>>67677110
Could see him at a cheeky Force India, though I'm not sure if its an upgrade. Maybe Alonso will hook him up a sweet deal at McLaren once he retires but who knows.
Hulkenberg is as good as done with F1 and really doesn't even to even care too much at this point.
Too many good drivers, too few good seats. 4 car teams when?
>>67672383
>no drs for lapping cars
THIS THIS
It makes no sense why you should get drs from a car on another lap
>>67684656
>4 car teams when?
b-but muh costs
>>67684705
Probably a good thing though because otherwise the past 2 years would have been MWL triple podiums all the way with the top 4 being Mercs in almost every race which might have actually been enough to make me stop watching
>>67672383
Just introduce the Indycar rule where if you are the first lapped car you can aggressively defend your position in order to prevent yourself from going 1 lap down
>Haryanto fighting hard against a Rosberg or Hamilton
would be memetastic. Rahal basically lost a race because of this rule a few weeks ago
>>67684705
>Barcelona 2016
>4 car teams are implemented
>Lewis and Nico take themselves out of the race
>Still get MWL because of the other two drivers
>Instead one of the most exciting races in the past 2 years except Singapore 15
No thank you.
>The Renault power unit has been touted as delivering as much as four tenths of a second per lap, which would have been enough to lift Red Bull on par with Mercedes in Barcelona, and lift the works team close to the top ten.

Good for them. But the next races are:

>>67660731
First race I clearly remember watching was the 2004 Monaco GP when I was about 7.
That said I had an old F1 game that had old Hockenheim on it, so I must have been watching it far earlier.
>>67660731
The first race I "watched" was 1996 Spain, but really that was more infantile madness.
First race I remember was 1999 Monaco, and I've watched every season since.
>>67686182
Alonso is never wrong my friend.

Also Baku has that fuckhuge straight

28, since 2010. By chance found a race channel surfing and I was blown away by how much better it was than NASCAR, my only other exposure to motorsport and one I didn't like at all.
Bandwagoned Merc because Schumi was the only driver I had heard of.

I never understood this either. Why did they make this a thing? Probably yet another one of those things the FIA didn't think through when they made the DRS rules. Like in it's first season when there was DRS everywhere in qualifying. That was clearly something they didn't intend to happen.
