>>10543

yeah, this whole board is /f1/ and this thread is poorly named.

>>10543

Make less shitty threads next time. At least pretend it's discussion for the next race thread.

I forgive you but don't do this again.

>>10545

>implying it wasn't intentionally meant to be satire

>>10547

O.

Yeah that deserves an apology on my part too.

>>10550

I approve of you taste in wags, but your thread triggers my autism.

>>10537

This is relevant to my interests

>>10554

Is there a video of this?

>>10555

it's a P2 from 2013 sometime before july 18th which is the date I batch converted a bunch of caps

I probably don't have it still because it's like 5GB to save everything and that is a fucking lot

Friendly reminder that Lewis Hamilton was the better driver yesterday, and Nico Rosberg was not. Rosberg won via technicality, and through no manner of formal driver skill whatsoever.

>>10560

>won via technicality

>crossed the line first

>technicality

pick one

You're just embarrassing yourself with this butthurt, anon.

Ricky should have been penalized for hitting Kimi.

Prove me wrong and I will award you with several internets.

>>10563

Nah, I ain't gonna go for it.

>>10564

because you know you can't win.

The stewards failed. End of story.

>>10565

Whatever you wanna tell yourself, pal.

>>10567

Kimi literally kept his line, he didn't cut. Review the video if you want to.

Tricky Ricky grabbed too deep in his bag of tricks and bumped Kimi out of the way. He's a fucking shyster.

>>10572

All you are seeing is an infraction of the rules. I try not to be a hall monitor IRL but when it comes to sport I am one and this (in monaco 2015) is just fucking illegal.

>>10573

What're you gonna do about it? Tell him no? Tell him to apologize and give the position back?

You don't just do that, anon.

>>10574

I'll probably just dwell on it for a couple more days and drown the feelings with alcohol but what is your point?

Should shit like this keep happening?

>>10575

All I'm saying is you don't tell the bully what to do.

>>10576

There's no use arguing with a Tricky Ricky fan and Red Bull fan in general. You'll always get vague responses, just like how their team is vaguely assembled. A bunch of no-lives pretending to be car enthusiasts.

>>10579

thanks for proving my point. :^)

>All that jealousy over the greatest driver of all time

>>10598

It's lonely here on the top of the greatest drivers of all time power rankings.

>>10585

One needs to be equally butthurt about the Hamilton fans to even bother creating that kind of account and collect all the tweets there tbh

>>10606

I guess I don't really see so many Hamilton fans that I wouldäve become too frustrated with them.

>>10610

You don't have to automatically like someone based on talent alone. I don't think many people would argue that Lewis is the better driver most days, he just is. He's incredibly talented. But his personality is just so spectacularly shit and he's such a comical manchild that it's nearly impossible for any sane person to like him.

I like Rosberg because he's not one radio message given to him while going through a corner away from a massive crybaby passive aggressive chimpout

>>10610

Yes I'm sure the only explanation for the fact that most people dislike Hamilton is because they're Rosberg fans. Not that they might just hate the overwhelming bias in his favor, or that he has the most intolerable personality, or that he's a hilariously incomplete driver that cant handle any strategy failure, or that he's utterly dependant on the radio, or that he chimps out from people speaking to him in the corners. Nope, gotta be that we like the finno German.

>>10612

well this sport is about getting your ass from start to finish in the shortest possible time

having a great personality/WAG does not affect your laptime

also, ameribro i agree with you, hamilton is the best current driver/car combination, but as a person he deserves to get some pepper spray a few times during the weekend

damn i wish we could have 3 car teams, with the catch that the third driver must be a rookie

that would bring new talent

Rumor has it that Hamilton is dating one of the kardashian/jenner girls which would actually make him the least likable person on earth.

>>10616

I didn't save any of Nicole and I'll die before I save any of them.

So what are the 6 fanfiction.net tabs you have open.

To be honest I only read F1 slash fics to see how bad the gay sex is written and to see if any het pops up. Only found 2 so far and both involved cheating.

>>10652

you know what? lets say its stargate, less embarrassing than the real stuff.

>reading gay porn

this is why you dream of getting fuck as jessica britbro.

>>10653

>>10654

m8 badly written gay sex is hilarious especially when it all seemingly revolves around Webber or Alonso.

And the autism you can find is frightening. F1/Harry Potter crossover with professor David Coulthard teaching Wingardium Leviosa or the 1 million word story in which Vettel plans to mentally break Alonso throughout a season by impregnating Dasha or Niki Lauda & James Hunt getting married and adopting Kimi who turns out to be an alien.

The only other straight one I've found involved Jessica getting drunk, having revenge sex with Webber and then becoming so guilt filled that she can't even bring herself to buy a morning after pill.

I'm not deranged enough to be able to get off on that. It only makes me laugh harder seeing how crazy they get.

>>10655

Now you've got my attention.

any links to these marvels of human creativity?

I want to make it very clear I skimmed read this and skipped a lot using the search tool for certain words. I'm not a fucking lunatic.

One of the many harry potter ones. I haven't even skimmed read this one but it's almost certainly filled with gay sex between the drivers as students.

The Lauda/Hunt/Kimi one. I've tried to skim read it but it progressively got more stupid and I gave up.

>>10657

Naw nigga, these threads are fuckin' perfect. The autism I'm seeing from a glance is off the fuckin' charts.

Will probably give Harry Potter a read first. Will report back if sides have imploded.

Came across this today while browsing random F1 vids, fucking kek'd hard.

>why do I get all the time blue flags?

>>10737

Preach it. Rachel and co are right on.

>>10739

Raikkonen was really embarrassed by Grosjean in 2013. Grosjean really looked like a champion that year. Unfortunately the Renault engine ruined lotus' chances the next year.

>>10740

I think it's just a sign of his competitive nature.

Don't get me wrong, I am a Raikkonen fan, I just think his reactions on the radio are hilarious, especially when he is approaching backmarkers.

>>10742

lol, what's the source on that pic?

>>10743

Facebook. Once while trying out the variations of "top kek" I came to think about, I've often seen "top kekkonen" being used, as Kekkonen was a notorious Finnish president, but then I thought, "Topi is popular Finnish name too, now could it be that there is somewhere a person named Topi Kekkonen?" Turns out there was.

https://www.facebook.com/topi.kekkonen

>>10744

He seems to be pretty proud of that Volvo (if that's what it is)

>>10744

the top trim volvo really completes it.

also who is kekkonen and why is he infamous?

>>10746

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urho_Kekkonen

A president who served for a quarter of a century and thus became a stong figure in nations history, he was kept in office for that long to maintain good relations with Soviet Union during the cold war, as he was seen as the only person capable of that. He would go hunting and skiing with the soviet officials in the wilds and get drunk in sauna to discuss politics. He was infamous mainly among political opponents for his acts that enabled finlandization, and for his authoritarian personality and strong will so to speak, he wouldn't seek for compromises but would force his decisions.

Notorious was maybe a bad choice of words as he's actually very liked person in the popular culture, remembered generally as kind of a politician who was able to get things done and was more practical and no-bullshit type of guy. Also he has distinctive looks with the babyface, bald and big goggles which has become iconic here kind of like Hitler mustache and hairdo.

>>10747

>Also he has distinctive looks with the babyface, bald and big goggles which has become iconic here kind of like Hitler mustache and hairdo.

Memes come natural to the Finns. There's nothing they can do about it, it's just the way it will always be.

>>10747

notorious and infamous generally connote negative reasons for fame. thats why i said what i did.

people are okay with someone close to the soviet union even though you were at war in ww2?

>>10749

>notorious and infamous generally connote negative reasons for fame. thats why i said what i did.

Yeah I remembered it wrong, thought notorious was famous in more positive sense.

>people are okay with someone close to the soviet union even though you were at war in ww2?

I guess because people were afraid USSR would get angry, obviously soviets were upset they didn't manage to occupy Finland so they put some political pressure on the country and Kekkonen seemed to be masterful at managing this threat and keeping the relationship warm. This bowing to the east is typically referred as "Finlandization", when one powerful country strongly influences the policies of a smaller neighboring country, while allowing it to keep its independence and its own political system.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finlandization

It even still affects Finland's politics quite a lot, especially now that Russia's having active wars in Europe. Probably the reason why Finland isn't in NATO for example.

He should have backed out of going for the corner sooner though so he didn't lose a bit of his front wing

>>10760

I fucking amazed by how he managed to take his wing off without crashing into Ericsson at that angle. It looks like a shitty video game letting Sainz' wheels clip right through the Sauber.

>>10768

would be nice to see a full grid again

>>10769

I'm old enough to remember a 43 car grid with 39 making it through pre-qualifying (1989). That shits all over any recent grid we have had.

>>10770

It's hard enough getting FOM to cover half of the drivers on the grid now during a race, I can't imagine doing it with 39 cars

>>10771

honestly it wasn't that terrible. You sometimes missed back of the pack action, but they usually caught the shenanigans.

>>10770

>>10771

Teams already can't find enough sponsors to cover 20 cars. Good luck with 39.

>>10773

that eurocare thing actually really fucking bothered me. that they would characterize 3 teams having alcohol sponsorship (with only one as a title sponsor) as "extreme" beyond ruffled my feathers.

No one since fucking duncan hamilton or mike hawthorn has actually associated their drinking with their driving.

>>10770

I don't think any of the pits on the current tracks can handle that many.

So it's a 26 car limit for now.

>>10775

how did they do it before? pretty much all of those teams were two car except maybe eurobrun.

as an aside, I remembered this when i was thinking of shenanigans

>>10776

Well a lot of the tracks are new tilke which just don't have the pit size.

And a lot of pits have been rebuilt since 1989 and have been downsized to save money on maintaining.

Note that I haven't checked so I could be very wrong.

The WEC tracks probably can handle it just as they stack different teams in garages

>>10775

here's nearly that number in the monaco pits the previous year.

>>10775

Here's nearly that number in the Monaco pits the previous year.

I would like to be more upset about customer cars but I would need more specifics. How would the money get handed out? Could customer teams score constructor points? (would there be a third championship for teams?) Do they get factory aero? Can a third party sell aero?

>>10774

the alcohol noise lately is about some NGOs not wanting Todt permanently at the UN

>>10780

And you will note there is no pit boxes for the cars & teams. They also crammed in like sardines on either side of the pitlane.

Pitlanes have been redesign and the equipment and personnel the teams bring is bigger and space is needed

>>10780

Holy fuck that was so unsafe

>>10784

how is it so unsafe? no one got hit. Pit collisions werent even common. If F1 has the best drivers in the world (ostensibly) they can handle that situation.

>>10785

Just because nothing happened doesn't mean it's unsafe. You could play russian roulette and be perfectly fine, doesn't mean it's safe.

One wheel gets put on incorrectly, one unsafe release, cars collide and go for some human bowling.

>>10786

F1 was pretty fucking safe even before they made it their mission to neuter it from 1994 onwards. If I go online and summon a list of worst pitlane fuckups (http://wtf1.co.uk/top-ten-pit-lane-nightmares/) there isn't even anything serious there that wasnt already breaking a rule. Unsafe releases were penalized even in the 80s. Mansell got disqualified for backing up in the pitlane once.

Everyone seems to think that f1 was some incredibly dangerous hell hole until senna died. It wasn't.

The refuelling fuckups are exactly that (fuckups or rule violations). Benetton removed the safety device from their rig, and most of the other cases are due to release of the car before the nozzle was out.

>>10787

m8 don't take this wrong. I know you want it to be the 1980s again but the standards of what has to be built has gone up and it isn't going to come down. The teams demand a certain quality. Bernie demands a certain quality. The FIA demand a certain quality.

The whole redevelopment of Interlagos and the brand new pits they are building are because the teams were complaining and moaning that nothing had been updated since 1990. That the pits were too cramped, leaked and water got everywhere (They all share one stairwell to keep sensitive shit dry). The fact that there was no decent hospitality areas for them to entertain guests. The fact the power supply was always dodgy.

>>10789

There's several of us that believe that they neutered the sport.

None of us are asking for the shitty pits or for nothing to change. Nowhere did the other guy state that he wanted the dodgy power supply or archaic infrastructure. The point being made is that it is possible to have more cars, and it is possible to have racing that isn't fucking Mario kart gimmicks.

>>10789

If they didn't chop off the straight at interlagos, there would be room for an even longer pitlane.

>>10791

Yes I'm fine with all of that but one of the limits on the amount of cars are the amount of pit boxes at a track and the size of a pitlane. All I was trying to say was that I'm not sure that the tracs are capable of hosting 40 cars. 26 cars yes but above that I'm not sure.

I haven't checked them all because finding the data is actually amazingly hard. The FIA don't give out the track schematics or the official pit allocation diagrams but you would be okay at Spa and Silverstone which both have around 40.

In fact at both you are extra fine as in a real tight pinch you could force some teams into the sportscar pitlanes.

Montreal would probably be a problem but Bernie keeps demanding they update their pitlane. The problem is there isn't really any room so they might have to cement over some of the rowing lake to make it bigger or move it.

Also going back to the original point on increasing the number of cars. Another problem is having to cut the prize fund even smaller.

I know the changes would make it cheaper but the teams aren't going to except a reduction in prize money just because it became cheaper to run.

Until they and Bernie have their hands off the rules the amount of teams will remain at around 11.

>>10794

The major thing that is overlooked is that F1 is an economy. With increased participation, or better viewership, or plenty of other factors, the value increases. When the value of F1 increases, Bernie makes more money, and thus Bernie has more money to dole out.

>>10794

Actually wait hang on.

I just remember they use 3 pit boxes per team so in fact you are limited at 13 teams as that is 39 pit boxes and then the last few are used by the FIA.

In fact now that I recall I'm sure that there is actually an agreement in place that it can't be more than 13 teams.

>>10795

>With … better viewership … the value increases

Meanwhile Bernie is increasingly hiding F1 away from the public on pay tv so he can Jew every last shekel out of the sport.

>>10797

There was also an agreement for a spec engine delivered by cosworth, and an agreement against customer cars. Clearly these agreements are not ironclad.

>>10798

Only because he can also make money by ratcheting up fees, despite that being unsustainable.

>>10798

It decreases the value of the economy but increases his take.

>>10788

The key statistic to watch isn't how many fuckups happened, it's what the survivability is WHEN a fuckup happens.

It doesn't matter how an accident happens. An accident doesn't become less deadly if it's a rule violation rather than someone doing something stupid or a mechanical failure. In that video of Monaco, if something went wrong and a car went out of control, there are dozens of people all gathered around in a line with no safety equipment. You would likely end up with a 55' Le Mans type disaster. Nowadays, there are far less people in the pitlane, and those that are are wearing safety equipment. Significantly higher survivability.

>>10795

And the teams will want as big a cut and will block more teams.

>>10798

That is the fun balancing act.

At the moment bernie is being quite nice by allowing it in some form on FTA TV but he could start a bidding war between BT and Sky for the rights like the premier league does and get an absolutely ridiculous price off it. covering off any loss of sponsor revenue with TV money

Or he could expose it to more people on FTA and encouraging more sponsors to come in.

>>10801

No I mean it is signed into the concorde agreement. Those ones were just gentlemen handshake agreements.

>>10804

swimming pools have a very low rate of survivability when an unattended person (usually children) gets caught in the pump intake. should we ban swimming pools because we cannot guarantee that kids will be watched even if its a law (it is in many jurisdictions)

https://www.edgarsnyder.com/swimming-pool/swimming-pool-statistics.html

>>10805

a prohibition on customer cars was signed into the concorde agreement and look where we are. dont restrict your thinking based on the existing rules because bernie doesnt have to follow them.

>>10808

>Don't restrict your thinking based on the existing rules because bernie doesn't have to follow them.

I'm not. I'm not saying they can't expand the grid. I'm not trying to come up with excuses as to why they can't do it and disagree with you.

I'm just trying to remember what got written into the rules and for what reasons.

The closest I can find is apparently they changed it from 13 teams before pre-qualifying starts to 12 teams maximum with no more pre-qualifying so as (and this is according to them not me) to stop what happened in mid 80's to early 90's where teams would enter and shortly die within a season due to a 7 figure debt sum and achieve nothing.

>>10811

yeah I remember this. though like we discussed before, this is a case where it is already covered by a rule (unsafe release).

>>10810

thanks for looking up their supposed reason because it gives us more reasons to cal it retarded. the FIA ostensibly has a thorough vetting process for new teams which involves a large bond and other guarantees.

if a team shows up and then shortly dies, the FIA's illustrious vetting process fucked up, not the rules for team number regulation. except for life and andrea moda, few teams actually sucked that badly. Even forti was in pretty good shape until pedro diniz bought a drive somewhere else.

>>10802

it doesn't matter to bernie if its unsustainable, he will be dead soon

The future F2 car will have:

Approximately 600bhp

A power to weight ratio of 1.2Kg/bhp

DRS

Hybrid engine

Cost €1 million- per season per car

The series will have:

At least 20 cars with 10 teams

Min of 10 events, Max of 12 (2 races per event)

>>10849

A hybrid is no good for costs. The battery alone would balloon it, and the reliability will shoot costs up again.

>>10852

I got ahead of myself.

It actually says 'hybrid system' so it might just be KERS which is slightly better cost wise.

>>10835

He's another who picks and chooses.

>>10849

>spec

>hybrid

>regulated by power output

FIA fucked up again.

>>10849

>Hybrid

aaaand its shit-

gg thanks FIA and hippies.

you bunch of green fags

>>10858

You say that like the FIA isn't full fucking retard these days.

>>10866

What's it going to take to change the way the FIA operates? Is there anything that could be done or are we just slaves to the powers that be?

>>10869

Slaves.

You can't really do what is currently happening with FIFA as the FIA really has not been that corrupt.

>>10870

What's happening to FIFA just makes me more impressed with the FIA and Bernie.

Anyone can be hugely corrupt and get caught.

But it takes true evil geniuses to be hugely corrupt for decades, and not get caught.

>>10873

With FIFA everyone has known they were corrupt for ages. It just took pissing off America for anything to get done.

With the FIA and Bernie they have just made anything that is a corrupt process legal and they seemingly don't really do corrupt things.

And even when Bernie does do it (CVC sale) he works his way out in the most brilliant of fashions.

Bribing a bribery court and then telling them they should build a racetrack with the money is just amazing.

Only Bernie can get away with that level of charm.

Blatter is an idiot with power, Bernie is a bond villain who pretends to be a senile old man.

>>10889

Pretty sure it is now on youtube m8

>>10890

Yes, go to youtube if you like it more.

Whatever, the movie is just great fun.

>rachel having to pretend to be dumber than David "has to look around for some paper cheat sheets to name off the 5 major engine components of the V6 power units" Crofty and Ted "the new engines don't have spark plugs" Kravitz

>>10903

There's no possible fucking way you can defend having Crofty and Ted. It doesn't matter that she's a woman, she knows more about the sport than both of them and does more research every single weekend than both of them, all while being significantly less biased.

http://www1.skysports.com/f1/news/32421/9865524/rachels-diary-what-you-didnt-see-over-the-monaco-gp-weekend

>>10904

Crofty yes, but Ted? Not a fucking chance in hell. Ted knows more about the sport than all of them combined, and is one of the few knowledge people on Sky F1 right now.

>2015/5+1612

>Not knowing this shit is all scripted.

>>10905

>>10905

I'll somewhat concede on Ted, but he also makes some really stupid mistakes (spark plugs) as well as being a faggot, and his immense Hamilel bias. Which gives way as soon as Rosberg is around because Ted is too much of a pussy to keep up his Rosberg hate to his face.

All of these aforementioned negative qualities are of coursed multiplied exponentially in Crofty, but Ted is far from great. I know not everyone can be as based as Murray, but they could at least try.

>>10906

>his immense Hamilel bias

Ted's other problem is he can be extremely arrogant.

>no doubt due to a huge ego thanks to people sucking is dick and saying he knows everything about the sport

>Brundle is the same

Another thought too:

The rise of the internet, and the technical posts/blogs/articles/info/forums available therein, has exposed TV technical pundits as not being as "know all" as they like to portray.

>back in the day, plebs like you and I only knew what the TV pundits told us

>that's not the case anymore

>>10908

*teleports behind u*

*rubs the underside of bulging Sauber nose cone*

*unzips hamilton's dick and sucks it*

*wipes cum from his mouth and looks at nico*

Nothin' personnel kid

Really though that is a great point, and absolutely true. It's a lot easier to call people out on their shit now.

>>10892

>Nats calling out Hamilton saying his antics at portier and considering going home just isn't the behavior of a world champion

If you don't think the sky ladies are based and deserve promotions you're a fag

>>10910

>Promotions

To what, exactly? You want them to be promoted to executive producers or some shit? Field reporters? They've already got a respectable presence in the production and have huge jobs in getting driver interviews after the race. They're hardly struggling here.

>>10904

>It doesn't matter that she's a woman, she knows more about the sport than both of them and does more research every single weekend than both of them, all while being significantly less biased.

That's also why I have a lot of respect for Lee McKenzie.

She's worked hard for decades to make a career of motorsport journalism (following her fathers footsteps), knows her shit, and has even competed in motorsport events in her own time (not just some "presenter drives a racecar" TV bullshit). She even owns and runs a driver management company.

>video semi-related: Vettel being a top lad with Lee

>>10899

her smug look is so hot

>>10913

He's confused direct injection with homogenous charge compression ignition (which is a engine efficiency/power increasing technology that the FIA completely ignores and bans while insisting hybrids are the only way to be politically correct while sharing nothing with road cars)

>first audience question

>muh monaco

>muh saint hamilton

>>10920

Good, I've had so many family reunions with everyone graduating from some school that I wouldn't have had time for F1 anyway.

>>10920

>Thought I would be okay with the FA cup instead for this weekend

Fucking Arsenal winning

>>10916

it's fun.

>>10927

fuck the Witcher 3 it's a piece of garbage, it's too big, too complex and you only have a horse to explore the world, combat is too slow and in the hardest difficulty is hard.

9/10 it's a great game.

>>10930

All bikes can do is "hurr hurr fast in a straight line". And cars are better at that too.

>this is where there would be a pic of a top fuel dragster if I wasn't on my phone

>>10934

But you'd still give her the job if she sucked your dick for it.

>>10940

not that you're wrong (you aren't) but it's the near universal association between sucking dick for a job or reward as opposed to vanilla sex for the same purpose that has always led me to think that oral sex is more about power than pleasure.

>>10940

if this is how people who can't enunciate get professional speaking jobs then Crofty has some splainin to do

European F3 series race at Monza literally stopped and abandoned because of poor driving standards

http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/119247

>one day these drivers will be in F1

>not sure if good thing or bad thing

>>10954

Stands to reason that with the shit drivers in F1 and GP2, that we would see shittier drivers in the lower series as well. Surprised to see the FIA acknowledge this though.

>>10956

It does, every year at monza it happens.

Italian fans are just the best at being good fans.

>>10961

that's obviously composited

I mean nobody would be that excited to see Massa

>>10961

photoshopped. Nobody likes massa.

>>10962

HAHHA we've said the same thing.

also there is an american flag just hovering in there and ones for lucky charms and some energy drink or deodorant or something, not to mention russia's flag has a bootleg arsenal logo on it

>>10964

>>10965

Massa a shit.

>>10969

Not always

Remember how we were discussing how F1 is an economy and must be treated as such? This explains why that isn't happening.

http://www.crash.net/f1/news/219481/1/mosley-lashes-out-at-absurd-f1-driver-salaries.html

>Former FIA president Max Mosley has hit out at the scale of driver salaries in F1, labelling them as 'absurd'.

>In the wake of the announcement that Lewis Hamilton has pledged his future to Mercedes for the next three years, speculation has suggested his deal is worth upwards of £100 million over three years.

>With Fernando Alonso also believed to be getting a pay increase in his deal to move from Ferrari to McLaren, Mosley believes drivers are simply worrying what they earn 'compared with the other guy'.

>"It is absurd," he said in an interview with GQ Magazine. "If I was a dictator in the sport, each team would have the same money and you could spend more on the driver or less on the car or vice versa. All the driver worries about is what he earns compared with the other guy."

>Last year saw driver salaries published with Alonso, Kimi Raikkonen and Sebastian Vettel listed as earning the most at 22 million euros each.

Mosley is a communist and the rest of F1 caught his disease. "If I was a dictator in the sport, each team would have the same money and you could spend more on the driver or less on the car or vice versa. All the driver worries about is what he earns compared with the other guy." Taking after his father the Nazi supporter right there.

>>10972

>Team feels a driver is worth £100 Million over 3 years

>Pay that driver £100 Million over 3 years to drive for them

>This is somehow bad

Mosley is the exact same as those idiots which say all teachers/soldiers should earn what sports stars earn.

>>10972

>with GQ Magazine

why has he taken time off from his nazi infantilism roleplay sessions to do an interview for a magazine targeted at grooming 11yo girls?

oh hang on

teams spending tokens ahead of canadia

>“Ferrari 7 (3 used)

>“Honda 7 (2 used)”

( http://adamcooperf1.com/2015/06/01/ferrari-and-honda-use-first-engine-upgrade-tokens/ )

so much for all that hand-waving just last week

>>10975

I can't believe that people were stupid enough to accept Arrivewell's assertion that Ferrari wouldn't be bringing upgrades to Canada.

Did people really think he'd give the opposition two weeks notice of Ferrari's plans?

>>10973

This is the doctrine (still in place today) which got us minimum weight for engines, a movement away from displacement regulation and towards near identical engines, a development freeze that == increases == cost, and mandated cost for components. Mikhail Gorbachev had better economic sense than this .

>>10976

on the honda side, I wonder if they were pushed to spend tokens by the recent change with reliability upgrades since they have been saying austria and hungary all this time

>>10977

More shitty regulations where that came from. But don't worry, anyone who talks shit about those is just a naive nostalgist who wants it to be the 80s again. /s

>>10978

I think you're on to something.
