Le Occasional Podium man strikes again
Plenty of big drivers spilling their spaghetti on the new track.
Our thoughts are with all those who were cheering for Toyota at Le Mans, there is always next year.
How is this fucking possible?
>>68715293
>1.92
How come we never see those ones, always just the 3.0s
>>68715293
Is that a record?
>>68715111
I was rooting for Porsche and I'm ecstatic they won, but you gotta feel for Broyota on that one.
dindu dindu know how to reset his car
I have a physics exam in 3 and a half hours and Im here on /f1/
I hate myself
>>68717429
What's the syllabus m8?
do you guys think any of the big boys will try to get PER for next year? also that reunion with rosberg and vettel before the podium, where rosberg asks "fast! did you passed them or was strategy?" and Checo says "i passed them" remind me of Happy Gilmore and Shooter McGavin a lot lol
just imagine if Rosberg chokes his lead not to choco-senna, but to a Force India dude.
also i asked the weaboo girl out and she said yes :)
don't know how to proceed since i've never made it that far with a girl though

Not worth it desu, ME7IC0, 23:57 and 73-9 and the "European" GP are much better than shitty uni, I really repent not binging on shitposting this weekend
>>68714172
does anyone knows what the fuck happened to the toyota?
this blog(?) says it may have been a turbo failure:

did this happen today? (I didn't watch the race) if not, sauce?
Is 2017 going to be a better season?
If so what changes are going to make it better?
>Merc had both rosberg's and hamilton's cars in the wrong engine mode from the start of the race, and rosberg knew how to fix it while hamilton didn't
hmm, very suspicious. they could easily have told rosberg about the engine mode "mistake" without alerting hamilton. very suspicious indeed

It's '99 all over again for me. I was so rooting for Toyota and yet something bad fucked them over.
I'm all right with PWL again though, back-to-back isn't bad at all. Regarless, damn. Toyota was so fucking close.

I always have trouble remembering races long-term. It's that generally they are unremarkable for the longest time, so I only take with me the highlights, but after a couple of months I can't connect them to the particular GP anymore and they just become "oh I remember when that happened" moments.

>>68721383
Here's my waifu.
>tfw 9 seconds off the pace
>>68721510
Sirotkin is very likely indeed if Sauber survives.
Considering RB's on a super-early promotions rampage, Gasly is a possibility for the STR seat.
I'm very doubtful about Button, I don't think Williams would be willing to pay his fees. Besides, didn't they say that McLaren isn't going to discuss new seats until September? They're pretty much screwing him and Vandoorne, again.
did binland lose again?

It's unclear because Mercedes are being extremely obscure with it, and the info they're giving doesn't really make much sense overall.
>>68722645
You follow F1 so you're either autistic or dorftrottel.
>>68722563
He had the wrong engine mode from the start on, it wasn't his fault but according to Mercedes he just lost two tens a lap because of it.

>>68721510
Kimi will not be at ferrari next season. Replaced by perez or someone like that.
Button won't be racing, he'll retire. Williams will hire a young gun to replace Massa.
You're right about mclaren though, there's no way they won't have vandoorne in that car. Then Alonso will retire as soon as he's done his contract
>>68723633
>mini-Massa
must be a literal midget

how do young drivers get "investors" to throw millions of dollars at them so they can have the privileged of losing in the fortnightly Mercedes Wins Lol fast car parade?

>>68724994
>>68725226
could you name any of the paydrivers' personal sponsors
because I can't
>>68715552
The FIA make them up afterwards, to try and make the sport seem more exciting.
>>68725306
Amx has Exact and Jumbo as personal sponsors on his helmet.
Maldonado brought the PDVSA to Williams and after that Lotus.
>>68725306
Sutil had Capri Sun and Maldonado had PDVSA
>>68719158
Or maybe Rosberg did his homework, while Hamilton was busy working on being seen following rappers and models around.
>>68725306
Sutil has Capri-Sun (which isn't even available here)
Maldonado has PDVSA (again not available)
Nassa has that Brazilian bank (probably available, but that's more aimed towards the Brazilian audience anyway)
Er, that's about it. Weichai power. I don't even know what Weichai produces though.
To be honest, I've been feeling that F1 does a shit job for its sponsors for the longest time. Most of the times if I want to know what a company makes I actually have to google it myself.
>>68725260
>yfw he's actually leading the Gp2 championship
>>68725306
Chilton and Stevens had their fathers and van der Garde his father-in-law.
Fuck them, slow hacks.
>>68725270
Button, Massa, Gimi and maybe even ALonso all need to retire.
>>68725435
Yes,I know. But I find Massa the most likeable of those drivers. He's really nice desu
>>68725306
Perez # Gutierrez had (has?) Telmex
Alonso had(has?) Banko de Santander
>>68725435
>Gimi
Gimi is still ok, for a guy that's 36 and had his prime in 2003-2005, he's doing fine vs Vettel this season.
>ALonso all need to retire
are you fucking retarded? he's still the best in F1. watch his start from baku, he almost passed even hamilton in the start if the wall on the right at turn 1 was a bit more far back

That's not exactly difficult when you consider Hammos starts this year.
>>68725726
yes but he's a nice guy
>>68725651
The indonesian gov. said it was just a hoax, and they paid everything, with a little delay. I believe Manor wants to get rid of him. I don't know he is better than expected. The indonesians will buy him a seat in one of the shit teams, and Sauber will have a free seat. They'll drop Ericsson, if he continues to be a madman.
>>68725659
Di Resta is Williams official 3rd pilot, and we both know why. When Massa is gone, he'll get the seat
>wehrlein:
>>68725584
>Massa
He doesn't want to retire yet, but he has to leave Williams. It's even Nascar or Haas I guess.
>kfjat
if the russians sponsor him (through e.g. lada), he will find a place. Renault would be his level.
>sauber
I think they'll be done by the end of the season, if somehow not, they will need shitload amounts of sponsor money to stay for next year.

>>68725792
Reserve drivers are generally experienced people who could get in the car and drive it somewhat reliably without binning it or passing out due to unfitness, but it doesn't mean that they're guaranteed the seat when it frees up.

Maybe that's enough for now
>>68725927
Is it faster than red bull's ?
>paying to driver a F1 car
Are these drivers like volunteers ? Do they get salary ?
>>68726140
Sometimes they get a nominal salary, probably just for legal purposes (to appear as actual hired employees), which is only a fraction of what they bring to the team. Most of the times they don't actually pay out of their own pockets, but through affiliated sponsors.
They're not volunteers, they're paying for driving, just like you'd pay to drive bumper cars at the amusement park.
>>68726140
Think of it like this: You believe you could do well in F1 so you pay to drive the car in the hopes you get noticed by a bigger team and move up.
>>68726693
does it even answer any of my questions ?
>>68726787
>you pay to drive the car
How is that not clear? They're not volunteers and they get a salary of about 100-200K euros for the employee status but they pay about 25M to drive.
>>68726787
Are you fucking stupid?
>Moortugal
Oh.
Niki Lauda got his break in F1 that way.
>>68726103
shortcomings just means flaws
>>68726911

Your first post didn't answer anything.
I already knew they paid to drive,I just wanted to know if they get a salary or not. Based Italy had already answered that too

Think I'm gonna order a pizza to eat with the england match.
These are the final days of eating whatever I want.
I will make it clear to the dietician on thursday that I'm not gonna eat any green shit. I hate salad, makes me wanna puke. Tomatoes are okay and fruits as well.
>>68727831
>last days
How about start now?
>>68727831
he'll probably just tell you to go jogging or something
My ex-gf was obese and went to one. They do recommend you foods and tell you which to avoid and tell you to practice sports. Then they schedule monthly appointments in which they weight you and note your weight.
>>68727831
>not gonna eat any green shit
First: Fuck you ignorant obese fuck
Second: I don't think you have to eat salad really, it's literally grass with dressing
>>68727947

Don't do it idiot, just start already
>>68727831
>I'm not gonna eat any green shit. I hate salad, makes me wanna puke.
At this rate, these are soon gonna be the last days of you eating anything at all.
If you're so hell bent on killing yourself, why not just do it quickly?
>>68727831
come on man try the green shit its real good
>>68727947
I think I will only hurt myself if I try to exercice.
My legs hurt just from walking around the house.
My back hurts all the time.
Now that I think about it, I actually can eat some green stuff like spinach and beans. It's salad I can't handle.
>>68728063
do you like avocado?
>>68728084
No idea, never tried it.
>>68727184
Lynn is shit though and unless he is ultra cheap I don't see a reason he particlarly deserves a race seat.
Renault will also keep Magnussen over Palmer. Palmer is absolute dog shit and doesn't even bring that much money I don't think. Not that Renault is in need to be accepting pay drivers anymore as they have a huge budget now with legitimate aspirations/chances on becoming a top team within the next 2-3 years. They have the money, they have their own engine (that magically got a shitload better once Renault rejoined F1). Renault is only keeping their current lineup because they've completely given up on this season and are only focusing on 2017.
Gasly has shown himself to be the eternal beta and unfortunately there is no recovering from it. Even the likes of Rosberg and even Palmer occasionally drove with more confidence and balls in GP2 so unless TR are really really desperate, I don't see him getting to F1.
I'd also keep in mind Rossi for Haas. It's an obvious move especially now that he is le indy winner. Gutierrez is done.
>>68728110
you should try it, it's really good, I usually just cut it in half and remove the seed, and put olive oil, salt and pepper in the hole from the seed, then eat it with a spoon, like a kiwi.
>>68728063
The thing is, phsycal exercise is literally the easiest way to lose weight, so the sooner you get to a shape where you can do it, the sooner you'll start seeing real improvements.
>>68728164
You're right, I plan to exercice after I lose some kg first. I weight around 170 kg, it's literally more than carrying another full grown man with me at all times. That's just fucking scary, thinking about it.

The Drachenlord is just as fat and he's lazy as fuck, yet he manages to walk some miles to the next REWE without collapsing.
If he can do it, you can too. Just get your ass up and start walking somewhere, slow, mind you. Take water with you.
>>68728164
>phsycal exercise is literally the easiest way to lose weight
It's really not, dieting works much better, since it also gets rid of the incredibly wrong eating pattern he currently has.
Eating just 2000 calories a day could mean losing 1 kg a week for him.
>>68727831
Eat Couscous mixed with some dates, olives and feta
tastes good man
>>68717002
official record yes
red bull also had a 1.92s pitstop but it was timed by the team and not FOM
ferrari and merc claim to have had 1.85s pitstops but they were timed to the first wheel being taken off and the last wheel being put on rather than the time the car is stationary for.
>>68727831
You don't have to eat green shit or any "clean" foods for that matter. What matters is that you count your calories. Get the "myfitnesspal" app for your phone, enter your height and weight and choose the option to lose 1kg/week. It will give you an amount of calories you should eat and what you need to do is weigh everything you put in your mouth/read the labels of all the shit you eat and log them with the app. You can scan the bar codes using the app aswell and it will enter the calories automatically.
Losing weight is not rocket science and you don't have to switch over to exclusively eating "green shit" and fried veggies. That's what most people believe and it's why most fail. You can lose weight eating the foods you like, no need to switch to shit that makes you puke, you'll just give up after 2 days like that. You can keep eating pizza and all that, the key is moderation.
cont.
My prediction for the driver lineups for 2017 is that almost every team is going to be extremely conservative because almost every lineup is actually pretty good and no one really wants an unknown quantity now that the cars are going to start killing again
>Merc no changes
>Ferrari no changes (unless Kimi really fucks up this season. What he is doing now is actually perfect for Ferrari, its just disappointing to see an ex-no. 1 WDC be in that role)
>Red Bull no changes
>Toro Rosso no changes unless Kvyat suicide (they invested so much time into him already, might as well keep him or another year now, plus Gasly really isn't ready nor will he ever be)
>Williams maybe Massa retirement but maybe they like him too much and Rob Smedley is one of the most biased people ever when it comes to Massa
>McLaren no changes - too much experience, Button isn't falling off a cliff and investors/sponsors like him and he gets along well with Alonso, whereas Alonso would probably go full autism again if Vandoorne started beating him
>Force India no changes if they can keep their drivers. Perez might move up maybe
Don't really care about the rest but Palmer and Gutierrez SHOULD be gone, maybe Magnussen if Renault find someone better. Sauber are rippin and Manor and Haas are just shitshows
>>68728520
who gives a shit kamu we are talking weight loss here
Grosjean to Ferrari is pretty much confirmed for next season lads
I promise
>>68728495
Look up "flexible dieting" and "IIFYM" for more on this. Like I told you before, there's no need to pay some dude to tell you stuff you can read for free on the internet. /fit/'s sticky has a lot of useful info aswell.
I was 90 kilos of pure fat 4 years ago. Dropped to 68 in 5-6 months eating foods I enjoyed, which included pizzas and chicken and all that. The trick was I weighed everything and tracked my calories.
You should also get a gym membership and lift weights. This will make sure you retain what muscle mass you have and don't just end up a smaller version of your fat self.
Goodluck breh.
>>68728164
Bad advice for the morbidly obese tbqh
Just count calories and eat no more than 1500 a day, the weight will drop off quickly if you have an ounce of self-discipline
>>68728383
If you just diet you go flab because you're not building any muscle where you're losing fat. Although I have to say I've never been that fat so maybe in extreme cases like that it's a lot different, I was able to lose weight at a rate of knot by just doing bicycle every day.

You can build muscle while losing fat if you are a beginner.

The second Haas seat belongs to Ferrari, so it's unlikely that it'd be taken by tall Felipe.
>>68728581
DO NOT start by eating 1500 calories. You weigh around 170kg from what I've read here. You can probably eat around 3500 and still lose weight.
The reason you don't start at 1500 is because your metabolism slows down when you diet and will eventually slow down so much that you will stop losing weight at 1500, even tho you still have a lot to lose. In order to lose more from there means you need to drop calories further...and 1000 calories is less than a 50kg woman eats. You should only lower your calories further when you no longer lose weight.
>>68728577
Thank you for trying to help me.
But I actually need to go to a dietician so I can weight myself because the scale I have will break if I get on.
I'm thinking of aiming for 1 kg a week. That's 48 kg a year, I think it's a good rate. Not too slow but not too fast. If everything goes well I will be at a normal weight in 2 and a bit more years. Sounds good to me. Thankfully I'm still 20 so the damage I have done to my body should not be very bad, at least I hope.
>>68728547
Trying to explain to a fat person how to lose weight is like pissing into the ocean
They always come up with excuses even though it's really fucking easy. The only thing you need is consistency and that's it. Unless you are a retard and were raised by retards, you know what healthy is and what unhealthy is. Be healthy and repeat every day of your life and that's it.
Food is actually an addiction for these people and having witnessed it first hand, it's basically like talking to a drug addict and the behavior will often go as far as to sneak around with junk food and feel anxiety if you're not eating chips or drinking soda. But apparently it's not really that big of a deal, you only die earlier than you would if you smoked your whole life and your entire life revolves around eating, but its not a big deal cuz its just food and candy hehe ;) Fat people are addicted as fuck, which is why they do it. You can't force an addict to stop, they have to want it themselves, which is why it's useless to give them advice.

Why does everyone think in numbers? Its easy to measure yes but its so useless when people get obsessed with the scale.
You want to get healthy because you want to feel and look less shit. So just eat healthy and be a normal person until you get to that stage. Maybe weigh yourself like once a month just to see you're on track also read >>68728773

He's genuanly been one of the few young drivers to be constantly near the top of ever series he's been in. He could still win GP2 this year and he's not too old either.
>Palmer is absolute dog shit
I'm not denying that. But Renault will give him two years, if not, then please let Ocon be the replacement
>Gasly= Eternal Beta
Ok he hasn't been as godly as Sainz or Verstappen, but look at Buemi or Alguersuari, their junior careers weren't exceptional. They're Red Bull, they've got three drivers to last them for the next 5 years, Gasly can just be a place holder. He certainly won't be the worst. See Bourdais.

>>68730640
Oh fuck off I'm not attacking Lynn because he's British, I just said he isn't setting the world on fire in GP2 which is currently a total meme field anyway. I can understand getting outshined by Vandoorne last year but this year is so random and often poor that he really should be getting some top results. Which he might to be fair but it's kind of a make or break season for him. I don't even know if winning GP2 is really going to be that big of a thing really this year, at least from the perspective of the F1 teams. The teams seemingly already have their drivers picked out and then they get them to F1 regardless of how they do. Lynn is associated with Williams and Williams don't have that much money so.. maybe but still, I don't think they want Bottas as a team leader really. Who knows
And yea I know Finnish drivers have like no GP2 wins (because most of them just skipped GP2 straight into F1 ;)) and you are right about Finland not having hopefuls though and Kari is currently shitting himself in F3
Why would Renault give Palmer another year? Out of loyalty? For fun? He's bad and there's no point in keeping Ocon or even someone like Sirotkin waiting just to let Palmer have another year (dude is already like 25 and still in his rookie year and still shit)
Yea Who knows about Gasly, I wouldn't be surprised to see him in F1 but I would be very surprised to actually see him do good.

rosberg spent all of 2014 getting help from the pit lane. it's hard for me to believe he could suddenly know how to fix a problem that's never happened before.

>Rosberg makes a mistake with engine modes in Spain
>Investigates the issue with his engineers after the race
>Studies it well for weeks because he's university educated and a diligent team worker
>4 weeks later something similar happens again and he can fix it without trouble
It's obviously a conspiracy. There's definitely no reasonable explanation for this that doesn't involve Mercedes sabotaging their world champion driver Lewis Hamilton.
>>68741293
Of course he did, as it gave him a better chance of winning. It's not like he was a retard who didn't know how to use the car though, he just deferred to people who likely knew better.
Honestly, this conspiracy theory shite Hamilton fans come up with is just hilarious. Rosberg used a cheating engine mode for starts, Merc gave Hamilton useless shit mechanics (who weren't shit when he beat Rosberg fair and square for the last two years, obviously), Merc are sabotaging his car, the stewards are racist, the sun is racist, and so on. He has had some bad luck this season, but a lot of it has been his own mistakes, probably down to lack of focus.

i'm not trying to defend hamilton's shitty weekend, but it is suspicious that rosberg would know more about engine modes and problems than hamilton when rosberg is the reason for the radio ban and has been making mistakes all season
>Rosberg is yet to beat Lewis Hamilton in a straight fight this year - all five of Rosberg's 2016 victories have occurred in races where Hamilton has made a mistake, or has suffered mechanical failure, or both.
>>68742505
There is nothing suspicious about Rosberg knowing more about engine modes. There is nothing suspicious about a person learning from their mistakes.
>>68742397
kek
>>68742569
There has got to be an investigation
I don't find the reasons you've given not to like Rosberg enough
I like him
>>68721444
Suppose that's the difference between qualifying an under powered car well, and qualifying an under powered car less well. Both Red Bulls were utter shit on tyres, and Amd Amx was memed on the softer boots
>>68742973
Of course there's nothing suspicious. Rosberg is prob busy studying car manuals between races and filming Mercedes commercials. Hamilton prob focuses too much on his 'music' and wasting time with Biebers and Kardashians

If Hamilton's engine was on the right mode, do you honestly think he would have won? From p10 on the grid? With Rosberg running a flawless race from the lead?

And that's just Baku.
>>68748561
he would have at least gotten 3rd
he was only ~15 seconds behind rosberg with 13 laps to go. he also set the fastest lap of the race immediately after solving the engine mode issue

I think he didn't like something about the visor for this race according to RTL iirc.
The cars are ridiculously complicated, but why can't the drivers learn everything about them? They're being paid millions, so put in a little time and study the fucking car. Guys like Senna and Prost were known for studying every inch of the cars. Apparently Hamilshit has never even asked his engineers what the buttons mean on his steering wheel.
Instead of partyong 24/7 just spend one day studying all the buttons like homework.

Hnnnnnnnnnnng that experience/raw talent balance, in that livery.
lets give drivers term limits. lets say every five years a driver needs to be voted on by the fans whether they get to stay in the sport or be replaced by upcoming talent

Ok seeing as we are playing the

Every manufacturer has to provide ALL the cars and engines for all the teams for a certain grandprix/circuit. Ferrari Monaco, Mercedes Canada, Redbull Austria etc.
So every race the racers are getting used to a new car but they're all racing with the exact same chasis and power unit etc.
So it would be like GP2.

Well Dan was keeping up with Rosberg and Vettel wasn't gaining for the first couple of laps of Baku. Then they were overheated by like lap 4 and it was downhill from there

James Hunt and Niki Lauda did so at least once, at a test session, after going to the same overnight party at a nightclub.
Lauda's car was shit at the start of the day, so he went to sleep in his trailer for a bit. Hunt went out, didn't come back around.
A bunch of McLaren guys panicked, and jumped into a car to the other end of the circuit.
Lauda, who was roused by the commotion, soon found out that the McLaren guys had found the car parked neatly on the grass, and Hunt lying fast asleep in it.
i find it revealing that claire williams claims the current williams drivers are doing a great job, then says the team is talking to several drivers, and THEN singles out button:

they're clearly after him, since mclelren don't want him. i find it a shame mclaren dicked him around in 2014, and that he had to endure the mp4-30 shitbox. this year is better, and i recall late last year button say he was looking forward to the 2017 regulations (with mclaren).

But the overly cautious SC starts have been a thing for a while... Remember Korea 2010? Or Canada 2011, where Schumacher immediately pitted for inters after a Safety Car restart?
>>68756531
Balti Buddy how would you like some sort of promotion/relegation between the formulas with some sort of neutral FIA built cars for smaller teams that may not have the setup to adapt their previous car when promoted or relegated lets say a GP3 team progressing with talent but not much cash. They get rewarded for being GP3 champs with a GP2 standard car for them as well as prize money. Add something like a team must build their own car if deemed to be stable enough in a new formula. Teams can sell off their old cars to teams who need them maybe? Would probably never work out but would be nice.
tl,dr League format in racing
>>68755793
>I've heard that they've been pushed away from the flashy Ken Block style and went back to the McRae roots with it. >How true is that?
DiRT Rally is entirely absent of Block. In fact, I would call the presentation minimalist, even sober. If it's the McRae route I am not sure. The McRae games attempted arcaded authenticity, I'd say that they are going for a simulated authenticity here. Not a full sim, the game isn't fleshed out enough to, at worst a simcade. Great attempt though, the best rallygame since Richard Burns Rally, if not a better attempt. Definitely feel that they had a tight budget and a small team. Corners have been cut but not in the handling department.
An amazing game with little content.
>>68757360
It sounds like a good idea in theory, but considering the budgets, technology, and experience required to succeed in F1, it'd probably end up being the same teams relegated over and over. Even with old equipment from top teams, there's no way a new team could jump in and be competitive. See Caterham, Marussia and Virgin. They were essentially upgraded GP2 teams.
Even the FIA doesn't have enough of a spare budget to give enough prize money for a team to be not shit at the higher levels of motorsport.
The analogy with divegrass can only go so far, because the differentiating factor in it is simply the skill levels of the players. With so many variables involved in motor racing which are out of drivers' hands, I don't think it'd hold up.
TL;DR - Interesting but almost entirely unfeasible

No, I don't remember that far back. They weren't as common though, right? Nowadays barely any rain is enough to delay a start.
>>68757400
There's absolutely no modding? I'm not the biggest fan of rally, I prefer track much more and so a package that's limited doesn't really attract me.
I still might want to give it a try though.
>>68759328
They became far too common after 2008, as far as I could tell, although the practice of bringing out the SC because 'too wet' first happened at the start of Spa 1997.
That one too was criticized by Alan Jones, IIRC, saying that it set a poor precedent (and he was spot on)
>>68759328
There are liveries and some other mods for camera view etc but that's all. Just pirate the latest version or get it on sale.

Here's a question guys
Why do F1 only allow there to be one Grand Prix from each country?
I mean obviously they have found ways to get around it (the European Grand Prix, the San Marino Grand Prix). But if you're going to do that then why make up stupid names? Why not just name them from the city they're from, e.g. the Monza Grand Prix and the Imola Grand Prix? Or the Valencia Grand Prix and the Barcelona Grand Prix?
It's just an arbitrary rule, and they break it when they want, so what is the reasoning behind the rule in the first place?
>>68763950
They are just not being autistic about it
>>68763950
It sort of started out that way, a Grand Prix used to be a very prestigious event so it would only happen once a year in a given country. Before the World Championship (which started in 1950), there was never more than one Grand Prix in any country in a given year.
As for naming them after cities – it sometimes happens when the particular Grand Prix is already taken (e.g. Pescara), or for promotional purposes (e.g. Abu Dhabi and Detroit). Most of the time promoters prefer to use the country name, though, as it's more prestigious.
>>68763950
It's not a rule as such, AFAIK, the nomenclature is only to prevent confusion.
The US used to have 2 races, the United States Grand Prix West at Long Beach, and the United States Grand Prix East at Watkins Glen back in the early 80s, but in general, naming by country name was from the era when there was only 1 F1 race per country.
I'd imagine the reasoning at the beginning of the Grand Prix era was that while the country may host many races, only one should be the most prestigious and carry the Grand Prix tag.
>>68764241
>As for naming them after cities – it sometimes happens when the particular Grand Prix is already taken (e.g. Pescara), or for promotional purposes (e.g. Abu Dhabi and Detroit).
Ah yeah you're right. Forgot about Abu Dhabi.
>Most of the time promoters prefer to use the country name, though, as it's more prestigious.
True and I understand why Baku wanted the "European" title because they want their city to be seen as "European". But it's the old European GPs which seem stupid... why not just call the Nürburgring race the Rhineland GP or something like that. And call the Valencia race the Valencian GP.
>>68764302

Most F1 sponsors are not selling consumer products, they are selling to other businesses or to governments. They are promoting their access to F1 to court clients.
This is why Bernie doesn't really care about TV ratings, an F1 race weekend is a "business conference" first, a TV show and sporting event second.

Just like Formula 1 then. But wagfag really wasn't great and needs a therapist.
>>68770109
Engine mode is understandable, however there are way too many for the driver to know even half of them. I think radio about engine, brakes and other technology the driver can't control/know about by himself should be okay, the 2014 mess where they basically got brake bias and other shit into every other corner from their engineers was stupid and shouldn't be allowed.

Luckily Baku had the newness of the track going on, otherwise it would have been the worst race of the season. I have to say, I was surprised there wasn't a single safety car in Baku. WELL DONE BAKU?
