F1 General Discussion / Bants
I think it's wrong that there isn't a thread dedicated to general F1 related shitposting.
Please shitpost in this thread with F1 memes.
Thanks.

Lewis Hamilton in trouble for posting "Boys don't wear princess dresses." on Twitter with a pic of his nephew wearing said dress.
What the fuck? You know the world really lost it when you have to defend Lewis and say he dindu nuffin.

I don't get it why companies and people ever apologize to SJWs. They will forget this and move on and be triggered about the next thing. Apologizing just confirms them and they will continue with this bullshit.

Let's see all of the fuck ups Williams did.
>Not giving Adrian Newey a part of the team, which made him leave for McLaren
>Tusk Nose
>Appointing Sam Michael as technical director and letting him fuck things up for years.
>Not giving him proper support staff and letting him try to run every aspect of the team (he apparently had to do everything, including dealing with the IT staff for some reason.)
Anything else?

WRC is selling an OTT live stream for all stages this year. maybe it gives some idea of the mooted Liberty service for F1.
WRC seems to think
>8.99 euros per month or 89.99 euros for 12 months
is okay, and also requires fucking Flash
i'm going to go ahead and guess the eventual F1 product will be more expensive and require some DRM-crippled tablet with push ads

>Letting go of Boutsen for 1991 even though he destroyed (((Patrese))) in 1990
>Keeping (((Patrese))) on the team long after he stopped being a competitive driver just so Mansell could remain unchallenged throughout 1992

>Staying with Renault (or rather, a shady unofficial offbrand) in 1998 and 1999
>Letting go of Villeneuve for 1999
>Thinking Zanardi would still be good in F1 after all those part-time drives he had for other teams throughout the 90s
>Letting go of Button for 2001 though to be fair, he was too inexperienced at the time
>Completely dropping BMW as an engine supplier after 1 duff season
>Thinking it was still the 80s and went to Cosworth as their immediate replacement
>Going to Toyota one year later
>Reverting to Cosworth when Toyota abandoned their F1 project
>Not going straight to Mercedes and trying Renault again, simply due to the relationship they had hundreds of moons before
>Keeping Barrichello and Massa long after they stopped being competitive drivers

Kubica is only reserve and development driver. If the car is good and the pay drivers benefit, they are going to benefit from Robert's work.
If the car is good and Robert ain't racing it, that will be a kick in the nuts. Fuck I am so annoyed.

Both Formula E and Formula 1 are environmentalists now, just that one is saner than the other. Call me oldfashioned but I believe Formula 1 should be all about raw performance from a naturally aspirated ICE (internal combustion engine).
