/f1/ - Formula One

CANCELLED

>>25602

Because Pirelli is a stupid company that is mostly notable for the softcore calendar they out out each year

you lost mexico

Holy fuck.

Sky is actually interviewing drivers to ask them about how great Lewis is.

>>25602

Or they just say they will bring a red option and a white prime.

Before the GP they pick out of the range of tyres they have the suitable tyre compounds and paint them red and white.

No faffing around with different compound names. You just get an option and a prime.

I hope Mexibro makes it

>according to the Lotus guy in the press conference

IM BACK!

what did i miss? did something fun happen?

>>25521

yeah but like… i needed a cool pc and that cool headset and that super cool 20oz Darth Vader mug.

>>25619

>did something fun happen?

Nope. Not a damn thing happened.

>>25620

oh really? thats cool lol

oh i see, rain and lighting , practice canceled, conditions to worsen tomorrow.

goddamn

Palmer confirmed by lotus.

>>25624

Increasingly looking like the Renault deal is dead.

>Villeneuve already crashed in Formula E

They are only in the first fucking session

>>25626

actually FE is on its second season.

>>25628

Session.

Jacques already crashed in FP1. I kinda figured he wouldn't be any good at managing the brake balance as the battery ran down.

>>25629

hold up FE today? damn damn damn!

>>25630

Yeah FP1 just finished

I posted a stream in the Formula E thread as I guessed it was best probably to keep it in there but I don't know…

>>25631

there is an FE thread? cuckchan?

>>25632

We made it half way through last year

>>9487

I bumped it a few times with some of the bigger news.

Such as Mexico is hosting on the 12th March this season

>>25633

oh shit i forgot, its been so long.

>Mexico hosts a FE grand prix

goddammit

>>25633

>Last year

Jesus christ the break felt long

>16000+ post in the span of exactly 5 months

That is nothing short of impressive

So will the Ferrari penalties transfer to the next race if this one gets canceled?

inb4 yes, GODDAMMIT

>>25636

I would think so.

Fucking Hurricane fucking the chance of having a race.

>>25624

Lame.

Also:

>another driver for Sky to circlejerk over

>>25639

I took it as a partial confirmation that things with renault are going nowhere. They needed his money. Before, they said they were waiting for renault to pick drivers, now they've contradicted that.

>>25643

So they've lost their Mercedes supply contract for no fucking reason.

Fuck you Renault.

>I hope they do a Brawn.

>>25645

fuck renault, fuck carlos ghosn in particular (he conspired to fire carlos tavares in what was effectively a purge of all competent management personnel at renault-nissan in order to protect his own position)

>I hope they do a Brawn.

If Maldonado won the championship, people would be pricelessly salty

>Big news: FIA & Ecclestone agree on alternative 2.2 litre V6 biturbo F1 engine for 2017 (max price: 6m Euro). AMuS: http://ams.to/f1-engine-2017

Different highly prescriptive engine regulations proposed. Appear to be marginally better, and non hybrid, so that it can actually produced at a profit.

>>25649

Not sure where I sit on that one.

It's great to have a cheap engine for the little teams, but a two tier championship is shitty.

>Manor, Lotus, and Sauber are neck and neck in the championship using the cheap 2.2L

>next year Monisha signs 6 drivers and uses the money to get a much more powerful 1.5L hybrid

>SWL

>>25644

Actually, race start is 1pm local time.

I wonder if they'll delay it.

>>25651

Because:

>1pm = showers

>2pm = cloudy

>>25650

Lol. Tiered segregation of the championship would be shitty. Welp, time to bring back the jim Clark cup and Colin Chapman trophy.

At least by 1988 turbo and naturally aspirated cars were mostly fairly matched (save for the fact that they fucked the na cars with the minimum weight). Like if you're going to allow two paths of engine philosophy, you can't just have horsepower equivalence, that defeats the point. They have to be equal through natural means (turbo power delivery being worse, na engines being lighter, na reliability, superior na packaging, turbos being more powerful even with the 2.5 bar boost limit)

>>25653

Looked up the jim clark cup, couldnt find a picture of the actual trophy. Wondered if it was as half assed as the world championship ones used to be.

when are we supposed to find out if the schedule has been moved around for today?

>>25685

Maybe they will be kind and use FP1 times to set the grid for the race as quali is all but cancelled

They confirmed they'll either use WDC points order, or FP1 results.

>Nasr didn't participate in FP1

>he might not be allowed to race

>>25688

That's if qualy doesn't happen.

>which it won't

Fuck the entire universe and everything.

Come on F1 justs a bit of rain, plus F1 cars are faster than the hurricane winds they can out-drive it right?

thats a joke i know thats not how it works

>>25687

>the hurricuns arrived on time unlike most women

rachel bringing the sexism

>>25693

Fuck she was bad towards the end of the show.

She butchered the "coming up on Sky" bit, then wasted time telling a joke when they were desperately low on time.

>she moved on from the joke at lightning speed, which means the producer was probably yelling at her

FP3 as normal

>>25695

ted was autisming up his sweet time shoveling all those rumors in

>>25696

The just want something to base the grid off in case qual is rained out.

Didn't say it was. The Ferrari's have 10 place grid penalties. If the weather gets worse and no one sets a better time, Bottas is on pole.

what exactly is in pasta maldonado? what kind of sauce

>>25726

I believe you can only get it when you buy a car from Daniel Fiat.

are we supposed to recognize this blonde?

Just back it up, just back it up, keep backing up, back it up, just keep backing up.

>>25711

If qual gets rained out, COTA will have locked paying fans out of the track for the only on-track session of the day.

That's how you get sued in America…

I know that he doesn't know anything about the track, but oh dear, 4 seconds off the Manors is a bit embarrassing.

>>25744

Good luck with your cartel errand.

>if you see a chainsaw, duck.

>>25745

Apparently something in the Toro Rosso broke again.

So Franz Tost is going to get waterboarded by Jos tonight.

>>25723

>>25724

I love how every manufacturer cannot stop circlejerking about "muh 'luminum" "muh carbon fiber" when cars are actually getting much heavier.

>>25748

and it's not like 7 series is a sports car anyway.

I watched an episode of How It's Made once with some sort of water skis that had carbon fiber marketing - they just put a piece of cold carbon fabric in the sandwich and glued it up

>>25750

All cars benefit from being light weight. You'd be surprised how much ride quality improves if you drop even 20 pounds of unsprung weight.

>>25749

She has such good taste in drivers too.

>>25751

what I'm getting at is they could drop a shit ton of weight reducing the climate control system, all that soundproofing, carpeting, and on and on

but they don't because it doesn't fucking matter to them. the thing could weigh 800lbs more and people would still buy it

>>25753

>but they don't because it doesn't fucking matter to them. the thing could weigh 800lbs more and people would still buy it

Yeah tasteless assholes buy the brand not the car. You're right about that.

>>25754

>>25777

Oh fuck.

I don't remember that one being posted

>you have one job

>>25777

he should pick up that fat lupus chick who used to date that squirrely pop singer kid

Wait, I came in on that Palmer/Ted chat a bit late. Did they just confirm that Lotus will be owned by Renault next year?

>>25780

I heard him say future with renault but I wasn't paying enough attention

>Ford thinking a dog will make me want to buy a car

I'd rather run the fucking thing over

>>25783

how does the tailgate get closed?

I mean they are basically advertising a feature that allows you to launch your beloved pet out the back of the car into traffic by accidentally hitting a button whilst looking for the defroster

>Sky circlejerking over the Merc W05/6 because my British team

Do they even realize that they're portraying Lewis as a carbabby?

>>25785

> launch your beloved pet out the back of the car into traffic by accidentally hitting a button whilst looking for the defroster

Good.

>all dogs must die

>car that is only on top because other teams aren't allowed to catch up

Sky just said that the drainage here isn't good.

Meanwhile half an hour ago they said it has some of the best drainage in the world.

>quality journalism

So with them showing all of the fans putting up with this weather, will they fucking stop with the British BESTFANS shit?

My guess is no

>>25800

they've already dropped several times the patronizing "new to formula one" "just getting into" narrative

man I hope OT. and 6VY lock out the first row

>Brundle amazed that pickup trucks don't take it easy in the wet

What a fucking idiot

Does he really think that:

>3+ tons

>4wd

>over an inch of tread depth

wouldn't be good in the rain?

crofty can't tell the diff between a jet truck with a trailer and a garden variety toyota in fleet white

>>25808

>crofty can't tell the diff between a jet truck with a trailer and a garden variety toyota in fleet white

What do you expect?

Cruft can't even tell the difference between Hamilton and Rosberg, with Hamilton's dick in his mouth.

I can't wait for Trump to build the wall. Then we won't have all this Mexican weather sneaking across and ruining F1 races.

>BESTFANS tweets hates on Vettel

>Brundle fucking destroys them

Only non pleb thing I've heard on Sky in years

>Rachel calling out her fellow presenters for being umbrella hogging cunts on air

Good girl.

>>25815

Didn't catch it, what happened?

>>25816

Rachel is love, Rachel is life

>>25815

I thought the tweet was calling sky out on their british bias and brundle was shitting on that but I must have heard wrong

>>25819

I didn't pay attention to the tweet either to be honest.

I've trained myself to tune out when I hear Cruft say the word Tweet

>talking about urban children again

Oh god

>Lewis is a great rolemodel

my sides

>>25820

I thought it said something like "if 3 titles makes hamilton a legend what does 4 titles make vettel? nothing because he's not british". Then brundle said I don't remember mentioning vettel in a snarky way.

Either way sky is still sucking hamilton cock as usual asking that question. So embarrassing :(

Fuck I hate Cruft.

>"Vettel had no competition for his championships"

He won 2010 by 4 points, and 2012 by 3 points.

>>25824

>"if 3 titles makes hamilton a legend what does 4 titles make vettel? nothing because he's not british"

Oh, that is pretty fucking based.

>DELAYED ANOTHER 30 MINUTES

FFS America

>>25829

>no Manor flag

Casual

what the fuck crofty literally can't stop talking about hamilton for 10 minutes

also based sarah

>>25825

To be fair, he had the best car of the year during both of those seasons.

>>25833

Having the best car =/= no competition

>Matt LeBlanc at Lotus

Finally a celebrity that isn't a Mercedes/Red Bull famebabby

>>25834

Good driver in a great car > Great driver in a good car

>>25834

Agreed.

Fernando definitely drove better than Vettel as a whole those two years, but he just didn't have the machine to make that extra bit of difference to take home the title. Well and that fucked up pit call in 2010.

>>25838

Did Monisha sign a contract for the pilot too?

>>25839

>implying Monisha would only sign 1 pilot

>Dan and Dan dancing for the fans

just bypassing the DNSBL

Are they shouting "let me go" ?

>German sky finally paying back for all the times Brundle has stolen an interview

>Based Tanja cucking Brit Sky

So, are they going to have their quali session today or not?

If this gets delayed anymore, then Mexibro might finish his cartel errand and get home to see it.

>unless he gets decapitated

>>25855

I think it's just hamilton for the next three hours

the FIA needs to urgently put in a rule forcing drivers to retain the same hat all year

>Hamilton being so much of a child that he's not willing to wear a cap he doesn't like despite being payed 40 (?) million a year to wear it.

>>25859

>Mexibro_laughing_duck.gif

>Charlie willing to wait "a couple of hours" before he calls this off

Does Sky even have enough shit to dribble?

>>25864

>tfw just watching highlights whenever they pop up just because I don't to listen to Crofty for 4 hours

>Driver's trying to be zanny and entertaining

Well memed. Upvoted and guilded.

Doctor Who time now

NBC has given up and is replaying the 2014 US GP coverage of ALO vs. VET

>>25873

Really wish Alonso were a few years younger. A few more years of Alonso and Vettel battling it out in equal cars would be amazing.

GOATlonso would still win though :)

>>25874

Nah, the idea of him wasting his last few years strapped to a piece of shit Honda is much funnier.

>Honda finally becomes competitive

>Alonso is 37

>his 17 year old teammate steals the championship

>Rachel wanting to watch Kyvat play with his balls

the crowd is going to be so drunk by the time they call this off

>>25876

is it weird that I want to watch Rachel watch Daniil play with his balls?
