If they put some SAFERs on that banking and give it a smooth layer of asphalt, it wouldn't be that unthinkable for something like Indycar. But F1 would sadly never ever take the risk.
Damn, now I'd really like to see an Indycar race there!

WTF?! This just send a shiver down my spine. Fucking hell! Must have been terrible for Purley too, hearing him scream while trying to get him out of the car while absolutely nobody is helping for 8 minutes...
Also, no red flag? Everybody agrees they throw a red flag way to easy nowadays, but this...
>>67693692
Oversized engine that nullified any competitive chance of the team when ground effect was introduced and led to one of the most innovative designs ever that looked nothing like this, but still managed to win a race before getting gracefully retired among protests?
>>67696514
IndyCar doesn't even use the European ovals that actually exist, so they probably won't,
>>67696514
SAFERS on banking? Indycar? Are you totaly insane?
Indycar does not drive on anything past 20° on 2 mile ovals. This one is comparable (but still longer!) in length to Indianapolis. There is no width to that track, banking is at 30° progressive and uneven through the corners. Indinapolis, which is at the last end of being drivable for Indycar, is at 9°! Indy simply doesn't drive on any other 2.5 mile track, and doesn't drive on highly banked 2 milers as well.
Hey /f1/, what's for breakfast?
>>67696933
>SAFERS on banking?
Yes? It was developed for ovals, and first implemented at Indianapolis.
The rest of your explanation is true tho. Didn't think about the extreme G-forces a modern car would have to face. Like the 2001 Indy race at Texas Speedway (banking 24°) that had to be canceled because of that..
>>67695850

>no drs for lapping cars
>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.
>>67695615
its FIA choking in its own rules, regulations and politics. Just like the metal end under the car to make sparks, an artificial fix.
cars could not overtake because aero, so they 'fixed' it with drs.
just like they will fix viewer pleasure in 2017 by making the cars look more aggressive.
and probably add speakers to each car for better sound.
>>67696460
>>67696514
>>67696933
If they won't race Formula or Indy Cars on it then why not GT3 cars or something like that. Or just any cars. Since the track exists it's a shame not to use it. Something historic like that should be used and kept operational for future generations.

Could Kyvat have won this weekend?
And does anyone have that comparison picture between Rosberg's defence and Hamilton's from older races? I want to tweet it at the Sky guys, they've got a bit much recently.
>>67697139
>cars could not overtake because aero, so they 'fixed' it with drs.
Personally I don't really have a problem with DRS in those normal overtake situations. But it's the lapped-car-DRS that I find unnecessary, unfair and ridiculous.
>>67695787
i started using your mum m8
>>67697217
No.
What Verstappen with nothing short of near flawlesss defence. There was only one real attack in the last 20 laps. Even with the unlikely favourable strategy that max found himself in, Kyvat would have found a way to get reckless and blow it
>>67697210
Because it would require actual repaving, with proper barriers, cutting of trees, safety equipment and all other such things.
I mean Monza can only just afford F1 (Maybe not even that anymore) so expecting them to essentially double their infrastructure budget is a bit ludicrous.
We are lucky they re-concreted it the other year. (I still don't get why people moaned about that. It was going fall apart if it didn't get a concrete repave)
>>67695377
Very mad Aussies

>>67697507
That's not Amx in the car, is it? Jos was at Benetton in '94, and Amx was only born in '97, so who's the kid?
>>67696460
Thats some sweet-ass flying too.
Why have they never attempted to make a track with a loop-the-loop?
>>67697626
not a '94 benetton. the d2 sponsorship means it's from the late 90s or early 2000s.
>>67697626
>>67697710
Verstappen was testing for Benetton in early 1998, so it probably is Amx.
>>67697710
>>67697743
Oh right, I should have figured he was testing. The fact the car had his name on it was what threw me off.
Nice car, what's the retail on one of those?

When I started smoking in high school I decided to go for Lucky Strikes because of the Honda BAR team. I wasn't a big fan of the team, but I liked their sort of underdog kind of place.
>>67698182
If I had started smoking, it would certainly have been Luckies too. I was a big Villeneuve fan back in the day.
Just noticed that Canada has the same (softest) tyre allocation as Monaco. It looked weird to me, since they are completely different tracks.
>2016 Tyre Allocations

>>67698363

>>67698476
OK, that's maybe the one thing they have in common, I give you that. But so are Australia and Baku (and Russia?)
>>67698592
Tyre wear is influenced by many things: The asphalt used to make the track, the number of high lateral G points (such as quick corners), temperature, tyre pressure, and some more I cannot think of right now.

>>67698363
Best part of the season coming up, love the twistier tracks.
>>67698663
Of course. I only meant to say that I was surprised that two very, very different tracks have the same tyre allocations. Monaco: slow, high downforce. Canada: fast, medium-low downforce
>>67698182
same, but this brand instead.
>>67699196
I now smoke gold 'boros because they are the smooth "feels like nothing" kind of deal now that I smoke less. A gold/white Marlboro kind of livery would make me cum buckets.
>>67694591
what game?
>>67698759
The similarity between them lies in the kind of corners they have, and the requirements this puts on the car and tyres.
The corners are short, and slow speed ones. No fast sweepers or ultra-long corners (like Spain T3) to put lateral loads on the tyres. The cars that excel at both tracks are ones with very good traction, since you have to accelerate back up from low apex speeds.
>>67699248
Can you imagine, Ferrari out of nowhere with a golden livery. The anti tobacco industry would probably go apeshit. Not that they can do anything about it.
>>67699424

In 2016 they are a bit dated in terms of textures and polygons and shading, but the physics are strong. Newer games are catching up with the number of mods though they just aren't 'proven' yet IMO

You know how these things go. Every bit of edge has a price.
"So, at the Beach, Snively makes his first pass of the afternoon. It's virtually smokeless and the elapsed time drops, accordingly The pits are in a flurry. As you would reckon, the belief is that Roland has taken away clutch pressure to produce the drop in time. Roland didn't even know why it had happened, at least for the moment. It wasn't until Keith returned, heard about the events and examined how the clutch had been assembled that the reasons became known. But neither he nor Roland wanted anyone else to become aware Racers are racers.
Almost immediately, T/F (and Top Gas) competitors began dropping spring pressure in their clutches. It was purely experimental. How much was enough? How much wasn't? And in the process, clutch packages quickly overheated and were short-lived. On more than one occasion, particularly during night racing, I saw white-hot clutch parts shoot high into the darkness. Cars were cut in half. Floaters and discs were thrown into spectator areas. Racers were injured or killed. By now, most knew what had been behind Snively's first smokeless run, but the genie was already out of the bottle. Clutch package experimentation was on the loose and leaving a trail of damage in its wake. The accident involving Mike Sorokin, driver for the then-popular Surfers T/F team, was the last straw."
http://wediditforlove.com/techtalk23.html
>>67708347
I was thinking more along the standard Tilke lines of paving over and gaudily painting everything within a hundred meters of the racing line.
"Is that circuit Bahrain?"
"No, it's Monaco after the safety upgrade."
>>67708396
The firesuits were less edge than just ignorance, imo. Glad things are better now - if people are willing to wear them.
Interesting you posted what you did, I had just been looking at pictures of Garlits' clutch explosion at Lions.
>>67708612
Those clutch explosions were really hellish. Sorokin had his blow and it cut the car in half when he was at speed down the strip. IIRC he tried to bail at one point and a rollover killed him.
Here's Gas Ronda in 1967. The fire from a blown engine burned him so badly he never raced again. That's when firesuits really began to be taken seriously Personally, i wouldn't get in a car without every reasonable bit of protection i can get.

>>67709185
This is basically the Monaco-Spa-Nurburgring problem as it applies to drag racing.
The length of a strip's shutdown area is primarily a function of when the track was built.
Newer tracks like Las Vegas have plenty of room, because they were designed for today's cars and speeds. (Just like Tilke tracks constructed in the past 10 years.)
But many of the classic tracks were constructed when the top speed for any of the cars was significantly less than 200mph. This means the shutdown areas, which back then were perfectly safe, are dangerously short for cars now running ~500kph.
As populations grew the real estate around older drag strips, which were often in the middle of nowhere when they were built, got used for other things. This means that as much as NHRA wants to extend shutdown areas, there's no longer any land available at the end of the strips - it's covered with roads, houses, businesses.
Englishtown is one of those older tracks. There's no way to make the track any longer than it is. Pomona is even worse - the shutdown there is frighteningly short.
Here's the end of the track at Englishtown: http://www.bing.com/maps/default.aspx?v=2&FORM=LMLTCP&cp=40.328659~-74.352561&style=h&lvl=18&tilt=-90&dir=0&alt=-1000&scene=8445591&phx=0&phy=0&phscl=1&encType=1
For a while the increases in speed were matched by increases in braking efficiency, so faster cars could run on the same length tracks because they could stop faster too.
But eventually speed outdid braking. When Scott was killed NHRA decided to reduce the distance the nitro cars run from 1,320 to 1,000 feet, to give the cars more time and distance to stop.
Whether going from 1/4 mile to 1,000 ft was a good idea is still debated today (though there's no chance of nitro racing ever returning to 1,320, the cost in parts to the teams would be too high).
I didn't know Scott very well, but I still remember the exact moment when I saw ESPN report his death.
>>67710176
I would like to say that runoff areas are a result of drivers and other people pushing for more safety, not because of the higher speeds.
Cars have been really quick for a very very long time, handling and brake performance has increased, but top speed is not that hard to reach.
Just check old footage, drivers dying all the fucking time because the runoff was literally either some little dirt ramp on the side, or fucking trees.
Driver fatality in the past was huge.
So, again, it's not that safety measures increased as a result of higher speeds (because it makes no difference crashing at 80/120/300/500 km/h if the difference is only the smoothness of your bones on the tarmac), but rather because people aren't gonna take the same risks and die all the time.
>>67710545
I was referring only to the development of drag strips, since it was my understanding that was the question.
Safety has historically been a higher priority in NHRA than in Formula 1. The NHRA was founded specifically to allow drag racing to be conducted safely.
In Formula 1 the situation was very different. Jackie Stewart was one of the drivers who had to battle Formula 1 owners for improved safety for racers, since F1 took the naturally European view that drivers were expendable elements of the spectacle (mirroring the relationship of royalty to their subjects who were sent off to die in war).
So in drag racing safety has been mandated as much by the sanctioning body as by the racers, probably more. I agree that in Formula 1 the developments in safety were first won only by the drivers themselves demanding change.
Now that the auto manufacturer-owners want to use Formula 1 to sell their cars and use safety as a sales feature, driver safety has a monetary value and is thus being valued by the owners of the sport.
Can someone Redmond me where RBR came from. Did they take over a team, or did Red Bull make a new one? I remember RB being a major sponsor for a long time with Sauber, did they eventually just buy out the team?

I doubt it. They've already had a lot of bad publicity in the past year and a half, I can't imagine them being any better compared to McLaren as Renault is compared to Red Bull. Which would just prove that McLaren's lack of competitiveness is largely down to Honda.

Red Bull traces it's lineage back to the Ford-backed Stewart Grand Prix team. They built a pretty good team in the late 90s from scratch. They had a few good seasons and even won a race, but struggled in the early 2000s. Ford bought all the assets and badged it Jaguar Racing. Jaguar was sold to Red Bull in a fire-sale after Ford realized that nobody actually makes money in F1.
Toro Rosso was Minardi, who were basically a better version of Manor. They gave a lot of drivers their first break in F1.
Worst thing about Sky F1 is that even though Max had a historic win, they immediately cut away after the race to Anthony fucking Davidson at the SkyPad to talk about Hamilton and Rosberg's incident, which nobody by the end of the race actually cared about.
Crofty especially makes me irrationally angry. I hope that by 2020 when Sky gets exclusivity that Lewis retires and/or Crofty gets fired. Ben Edwards and DC are literally perfect and make Crofty's commentary look like an amateur doing one of those YouTube live reaction videos. Hell, even David Hobbs (who may or may not be dead, I am not sure) and Leigh Diffey are better than Crofty.
I would rather sit through 20 minutes of NBCSN commercials during a grand prix than listen to David Croft commentate a sport he knows nothing about nor has the passion to actually learn its history.

He needs to retire. I never liked him. I think he was the reason I disliked McLaren for so long. I liked Hakkinen, but somehow wasn't really a fan, because he was at McLaren with Ron.
I was so glad he left. Imagine the frustration when I heard they kicked Whitmarsh and Ron would be making a temporary comeback. Temporary can be a really long time so it seems.

Actually, no. Jean Todt hated both Alonso and Briatore, because they'd shafted him back in 2001, when Todt was ready to sign Alonso to a test driver deal and Briatore came in and signed him instead.

Alonso signed with Mclaren back in 2005, so evrybody knew Ron had to get rid of either Gimi or Montoya. Quite a difficult choice if you ask me. Fortunately for him, Montoya showed himself the door out, but it was all done with Gimi too. He was already advanced in talks with Ferrari, so suddendly, Ron found himself with only one drover for 2007. That's when he realized it would be the perfect opportunity to give the nigger his long waited seat. Not that he had much of a choice there though. The nigger was of course much more economic than signing an established No. 2 driver even in the short term, like Heidfeld or Barrichello.

He's lucky that Pierre Gasly isn't ready for F1 and that Red Bull doesn't seem to be interested in signing a driver from outside of the program.
Sochi is one of my least favorite tracks.
It's like a Valencia 2.0. The only thing that makes it unique I guess is that it's more of a power street circuit and that one long turn 3 left hander. It's just another country trying to make use of their wasted abandoned Olympics complex that they overspent on.

"I remember thinking as we came up on the lights, 'I'm going to win this SOB,' then I felt the clutch slipping and thought, 'Oh, no. Here it comes.' I was just going for the parachute handle when it happened."
As seen by millions on ABC's "Wide World of Sports," Nicoll's overheated clutch disintegrated and sawed the car in two. His half went over the guardrail, and everyone was sure he'd been killed. After seeing the front half of Nicoll's car slide past him in the shutdown area, "the Snake" tearfully contemplated retiring on the spot. "Everybody still remembers seeing that on TV," Nicoll says. "I'd run into Prudhomme after that and say, 'Weren't you supposed to quit?' I woke up in the ambulance, but they never got the back door shut all the way, and when it took off, the gurney went flying out the back with me in it. I blacked out again at some point and woke up in the hospital with my ass hanging out of one of those robes that tie in the back."
Nicoll was right back at it immediately with a brand-new T-Bar chassis, and just a week later found himself racing "the Snake" again, this time somewhere in Florida. ("Whipped me again," he says.) But Nicoll's incredible success in NHRA competition was just a part of his 1970 season."

They put a Finnish autist GOAT sim racer (actual autism I think based on demeanor) into a F3 Mazda and he lapped like 4 seconds off pace and ended up vomiting on himself.
He also has no aspirations of real racing but I think that he could be close or equal to proper drivers if he had the appropriate training. I mean you can't put a nerd who sits in a chair into a car pulling several G's and expect him not to beta out.
I actually don't think the mere handling of a F1 car is THAT difficult and a simulator is proably great to get used to the speed of it all. The physicality and the constant G forces and maintaining a regular mindset throughout it all must be what is actually the more difficult part

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TX1KQNciyzA
>>67725753
well you said it yourself, something is wrong here. its the design and philosophy of the cars.
currently its the limit of any F1 car that decides what's going on (not to mention so much restrictions that they will not go 100% on the max)
drivers say it themselves, these cars are relatively easy to drive (when compared to..) but there is allot more going on in the cockpit then before, so they need a certain amount of brain-overcapacity which max seem to have.
but place kimi before max in the same conditions and kimi would have won, because car/track limits, not driver limits.
But still, a fit/smart/cool 18 year old (talent from any country) has the age advantage imo. if not only because wanting it more, then at least for having less desires to live hehe.
and fitness can bring or take a huge amount of laptime on a race distance, if you remain fit (like schumi did) your focus remains as well plus the brain capacity to think whilst driving.
inexperience and immaturity would be the big downfalls for such young drivers but I don't see why they would not be on top overall provided everything falls in place in a race.
>>67725828
when he was 11-ish he won 49 of 50 races in Karts. the guy is special.
and sure, the higher you go in any sports, the closer the margin get, so he might not repeat all of that, but the potential is there and that's the hype.
>>67725920
>I actually don't think the mere handling of a F1 car is THAT difficult and a simulator is proably great to get used to the speed of it all. The physicality and the constant G forces and maintaining a regular mindset throughout it all must be what is actually the more difficult part
That's the point. Judging by experienced drivers' comments, these cars don't seem to be nearly as physically demanding as previous cars. The race pace that they have is so slow that the constant G forces are much less.
I still give him a lot of credit, it's not like it's an easy feat to win a grand prix today. I just hoped it'd be more of a struggle. After the race he seemed like he could have driven another race distance no problem.
>>67725988
The race pace of F1 is actually embarrassingly slow. Only a few seconds slower. I guess F1 will bring that up by a second or 2 when we get to Silverstone or Spa but still there shouldn't be a question about this sort of stuff.
Also Max is great and has a cool head but really his win could have been done by anyone in that car who can be able to not spill spaghetti (not Kvyat and probably not anyone Finnish for that matter)
Max is a simulator baby and you can't blame him for it. Some people are already calling for the banning of simulators but that's so counter productive and also impossible to regulate. Soon enough the codemasters F1 games and especailly iRacing are going to be better sims than the top teams were using less than a decade ago

In honor of Dutch drivers doing historic things, here's Arie Luyendyk talking about setting the Indianapolis qualifying record of 237.498 mph (382.216 km/h) in 1996.

Did he cum carts again?
>>67726024
True. I mean who am I as an average fan to say how exhausted a driver should be after a race? But even with muh nostalgia it seems like it was much crazier back in the day. Drivers fainting after the race, drivers necks giving out at interlagos, just being completely finished physically after a race. Now Mercedes does 2-3 times a race distance in one day of testing and they EVENTUALLY replace the drivers so that they split the days because its getting a bit too tough.
>Nico Rosberg is 100% at fault for the crash
there hasn't been a good Ferrari team boss since Ross Brawn.
>>67726195
Exactly, I think the only reason they switched out Ham was because he was getting bored driving round and round. Some of the exhaustion shown from drivers in the past was because they simply weren't in as good of shape as drivers today, but in "the pinnacle of motorsport" you shouldn't be able to drive the car around for half a day straight and have to stop only because you're getting bored. No matter how good of shape you're in.

not sure why they are so insistent on promoting italians to the leadership roles when they clearly can't get shit done

>tfw Ron Dennis will never fuck off
How long do we have to have king of the F1 autists in charge lads?
look at it Bernie.
look at what you did to your product.
You were involved in one of the early revolutions of the sport and now the time might come that someone pulls a coup d'etat on you.
Is this what F1 has become since Senna? Is this the F1 that we lost Jules for?
>>67726646
wait what are you mad about? this is a great season
and that's how F1 was ruined forever.
or it's the beginning of Cyber Formula. With kids winning races it's even more like the anime now.
it's better to just go with a completely closed cockpit instead of some halfway compromise solution. The aerodynamic benefits should negate the added weight disadvantage.
The Radio Le Mans guys would always joke about how DTM/SuperGT or LMP cars are "single-seaters with roofs on them", but if the aeroscreen passes then you can't make that joke anymore.
>>67726646
wow look at it bernie how you transformed a semi-official race thing that you bought for a few mil into the pinnacle of motorsport and motorsport prestige globally worth billions
F1 altogether, Bernie is 50% overall of what is based, the shit is 10% Bernie, 25% FIA and the rest other money shit
Any F1 fan who isn't thankful for Bernie is a fucking retard or a newfag prob both
>>67726686
because Ferrari's not winning and capitalizing on Mercedes mistakes.
>>67726385
I dunno, maybe.
back in 1960 athletes trained for 6 months to do two flipflops at the olympycs and had to recover for two weeks.
these days training and understanding of things in general is so advanced it is a complete different ballgame.
Not saying current guys would perform the same in a 1979 car but still, they would have been so much fitter then the old geezers.
ffs man, the geezers where still smoking etc.

>>67726646
You shouldn't let reddit tell you what to think about Bernie.
The truth is that Bernie is quite capable and the F1 you hold dear is a result of what he has done for the sport.
Now, who's at fault for the current state of the sport?
I do think that CVC (Bernie in it) fucks up way too much. But I doubt it's Bernie making those terrible calls, and more so shareholders and investors who see it in a different way than Bernie does. Bernie without CVC demands would probably give better results. If CVC stays and Bernie as a head of it resigns, nothing's gonna change because the people behind the curtains will still be calling the shots and shit.
>>67726930
Gee I wonder who financed and enabled Hamilton's entire junior career and rise to F1 and eventual F1 career
Leave it to Ron Dennis to hire a rookie and a 2x WDC and then end up actively backing the rookie to the detriment and basic destruction of the team because autism

so how did you celebrate the anniversary /f1/? I celebrated with severe depression and isolation.

why was there red light?

>>67727437
Cars are only cleared to leave the pits after all the cars behind the SC have passed the pit exit.
>>67727423
>>67727441
Holy shit did they die
>>67727437
That was the procedure back then, closing the pit lane exit until the safety car came by. There were no "delta" times in a way they're enforced today, so they wanted to prevent cars catching up to the SC for an entire lap at big speeds.
Montreal pit lane was always catching drivers out because of the way the exit is located. If i remember correctly, only times cars were black flagged in over 10 years was for jumping that red light.

But all those series stipulate two seats in the car....

i remember watching a senna onboard around monaco where he used his left arm to shift and his right hand on the left side of the wheel to turn all the way to the right
>>67724996
After the hairpin there was removed it never got a name.
Either one of Eau Rouge or Radillion is in fact a chicane or you use the old name for the hairpin for the right hander which is the autist option.
>>67721191
Is she alright after the car accident?
She was pretty fucked up.
>>67727873
Where are they?
Any pics of senna?
>>67727865
yeah but the joke is that they are fast and nimble so the handling is closer to a lighter single seater f3/f1 car than a heavier GT car. The saying is more about LMP1s being comparable to F1 cars.
>>67727926
Some italian photografer was the only person who has the Senna rescue pictures and he keeps them in a safe
>>67727955
what a faggot
>>67727955
>implying he doesn't take them out and masturbate to them every once in a while
>>67727955
What's the point of that? If he doesn't want people to see them just burn them. Anything short of that is just cuckoldry
>>67727929
Which do you think will happen first:
F1 closed cockpits or the FIA forcing LMP1s to have the second seat actually be a proper full seat?
At the moment it's just a small space they put electronics.
>>67727980
Putting a front seat makes no sense.
The closed cockpit is going to happen next season
>>67727979
someone will inherit and sell them on the same day he dies
>>67727926
only one person has photos of senna's face. i read that he destroyed them, or promised the senna family he would never publish them. this was a few years ago.
pic is roland. rip.
>>67727991
What a faggot.
If he dies then how will they know the combo to his safe?
>>67727985
>huehue mad his national hero died
>>67727988
It legitimizes them as proper sports cars and slows them down, something F1 would be desperate for them to do especially as F1 just keeps getting heavier and heavier.
It's something that most LMP1 fans have been fearing they would do for a while.

remember when sparks were natural and F1 didn't need gimmicky titanium skid plates to artificially create the sparks?
Pepperidge Farms remembers.
>>67728436
I mean the titanium does do a semi job in safety in degrading better and being lighter than the old skid blocks.
I do like the FIA found a semi-reasonable reason for it beside WE WANT SPARKS

alright. His debut DAY in formula 3 he broke the track record of f3 in valencia and his debut year in f3 racing he ended up third, at 16 yrs old.

Nobody is denying Max's talent. The complaint is against the sport as a whole. Max just happens to be so good that he is highlighting F1's faults so greatly.
And yes, this goes back to NIki's comments back in the day about how a monkey could drive an F1 car. But I have a hard time imagining a 17 year old, with the same talent and upbringing as Max, coming into F1 anytime before 2014 and being so successful so quickly.
Maybe I'm wrong, and maybe Max really is that much better than any other driver in history.

It's just a function of technology. They can tune these cars better than ever so it's all point and shoot driving now versus the "good old days" where you were literally afraid to drive it past certain limits.

I was just defending max for being a simbabby, the lad hasnt done anything but racing all his life, and has always excelled. Whether he is the new jesus christ of f1 remains to be seen. I highly doubt it, but I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up with a f1 championship or 2 in his carreer.

Hell yeah, I'd love to see Ecclestone, Lauda, Prost, Stewart and Mansell in an f1 car now, just to get their opinions on how different it is.
