/f1/ - Formula One

Hoping to see a Hamilton dive bomb to pass Rosberg at the first corner. Rosberg's new 'no fucks given' approach means he doesn't let Hamilton push him around, doesn't back out, and lets them both crash.

>>7960

>Wanting Vetlel to win a single additional race for the rest of his career

He has his four gimme championships now, he can fuck off the top step of the podium for the rest of his career

The best outcome is vetlel and hamilel taking each other out.

>>7962

>wanting niggerton to win

>wanting memekimi to win

>wanting secondberg to win

Face it anon, Vettel is the lesser of the current evils

>>7963

>Not wanting Vetlel, memester, niggerton and fourthberg to get in a horrific pileup and Finnish god Bottas taking the win

>>7964

>Finnish god

More like Finnish Hulkenberg

>is good occasionally, and never delivers on potential

Does anyone want to do the classic stream immediately after the race?

>>7970

>>7969

I mean after the broadcast and driver interviews not immediately after the race.

>>7971

Yeah, that sounds good.

Also not gonna lie kind of want Rosberg to win lol.

>>7972

Who the fuck doesn't want Rosberg to win? This Hamilton domination is fucking shit in every single aspect

>>7973

Agreed colombia

>>7970

I'd like that.

>>7977

You had a fuckton of opportunity to air an alternative and didnt

>>7976

Actually I just realised I won't be here.

Working the whole of next week away from the computer so no stream, no wags. Sorry.

>>7979

>not looking at the thread that's been open for like a week and coming up with another idea.

>>7981

Why would I post in that thread when this thread is the one people are posting in?

Why don't, now follow me here, why don't we have the Classic Race of the Week at 1 P.M. PST, that way Britpakis can watch it without staying up into the morning hours and Straya Cunts can have something to do at 6 in the morning.

Thank me later.

>>7983

I open that picture up on occasion just to look at it. Valtteri you lucky son of a bitch.

Is anyone else having problems with posting? It will post but says there is some kind of network error and that the post probably did make it.

>>7984

Posting has been fucky the last 20 minutes, but it seems largely fixed now.

>>7982

The whole fucking point of having an entire board is that we can have more than one thread at a given time. People do discuss shit in other threads, you just didnt see something fucking stickied.

>>7983

She has a more masculine back than me

>>7987

You're wrong, but I'm not all that angry. I just felt that it was fucky for you to miss something and then blame it on the board.

>>7988

Its the rear set shoulders

>>7989

I am right and you are wrong, such is the natural order of life.

I forgive you, though.

LEL

>bgb481 so mad he has to post in the other thread

Just accept you lost and move on buddy.

>>7997

You don't need to be an intolerable prick just because you did not read a stickied thread. Your failing to use a board properly doesn't mean you have to hound someone who called you out for it.

Also quads.

>>8000

>thinking trips are quads

>not calling 8000 get

>>8001

I am dyslexic, is my only defense towards my shamefur dispray.

I brought shame upon you all, 8/f1/.

>>8003

Your humility brings hope that I and everyone else might ever forgive you for being a fucking faggot.

>>8004

Your forgiveness means nothing to me. The only forgiveness I seek, is from the great HamilGOAT.

May HamilGOAT have mercy upon my soul, and bless me with two champions hips and fast lap times.

>yfw there are actually people misinformed enough to think that shit senna is better than Jim Clark

>>8007

BTFO

>>8006

Brabham blows both of those nerds out of the water anyways, so I don't see your point.

>>8007

Sky's been getting so BTFO this weekend it's astonishing.

>>8006

I see your point.

>>8011

No you don't.

>>8009

>brabham > Clark

Clark who is generally considered to be blessed by god with mechanical sympathy, who has an incredible record at Indy, who skipped Monaco to win the Indy 500 and still won the championship, Clark who has the most grand slams (pole, fastest lap, and race win) of any driver even though he died way before his time due to a tire explosion. Clark who on numerous occasions has come back from certain defeat to win the race (us grand prix 1966 with the brm h16 engine which spewed oil on the starting grid, or Belgian gp 1963 where he lapped the field and was 5 minutes ahead of Bruce McLaren). Clark who has a theoretical maximum of championship points that could be scored in a season.

>>8014

>Brabham, the man who not only won numerous hips, but also BUILT the cars that won the hips, founded his own racing team, and also snagged contructor's hips like they were candy, put behind Clark.

Nah m8, Brabham is my straight up nigga, and is the greatest F1 driver of ALL. TIME.

>>8015

Brabham did not build the cars. He bought Ron Tauranac's operation and put his name on it. He only ever beat Clark in the championship with the repco engines that were more reliable.

>>8015

Brabham was great, def up there. But greatest DRIVER… well, Ill also have to vote for Clark. Sorry m8, hes just objectively faster.

>>8015

Clark arguably had more to do with building cars than brabham ever did. Clark and Chapman were like a human machine.

>>8018

>Clark arguably had more to do with building cars than brabham ever did

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

no

>>8018

>>8017

Brabham played a huge role in designing and building the cars he raced, huggling that with F1 life as well as fucking winning not only drivers championships but constructors championships as well, that alone makes him better than Clark ever was.

The argument that he would have won more if he hadn't died is irrelevant, as nobody can objectively say such a thing.

>>8020

>Huggling

SHEEEEEEIIIIIIITTTTTTTT

*juggling

Autosport interview with Brabham

>"In 1959 we had a problem with our gearboxes, because we didn't have one to suit a rear-engined car. Jabby Crombac, the racing journalist, actually got me to go to ERSA in France to see if they would sell me a gearbox. When I got there, they said yes, but it would probably take them 18 months to build what I wanted.​

>Luckily I knew something about the foundry and I asked them if I could go for a look before I left. They had about 150 Citroen gearboxes lined up to cast the next day and I got talking to the foreman who was a motor-racing enthusiast. I talked him into letting me modify gearbox casings so that we had our own castings with our own modifications on them. I modified about 30 gearboxes that evening and they were cast the next day. Those castings finished up on our floor within two weeks. And without those we would never have won the world championship in 1959."

same article:

>Thing was," he says, "I thought about going for a year or two, to get experience of European racing and I ended up staying for 30!"​

Being an Aussie, not a "whinging Pom", he's not about to open up about maybe feeling homesick, or missing his wife and kid, but he will concede that not being able to ship his workshop 10,000 miles north hampered him early on. "The thing I missed most," he says, "was my lathe."​

>>8022

BASED

R.I.P. Brabham, you glorious driver you. Those Sky interview they had of him a year or so before he died were great. He always seemed like such a chill guy.

http://www.motorsportretro.com/2013/04/jim-clark-tribute/

>“As far as I was concerned, I felt right from the beginning that he was such a good driver, and a man with whom I was so completely at one, that I could retire from driving myself and concentrate purely on producing cars for Jimmy to drive. And this is in fact what I did. We always got on so terribly well -we thought alike and acted alike, we were both keen on doing a thoroughly first-class job, and we found out about racing together. This is something which will never ever be the same again for me in motor racing, because of all the problems, all the successes and the anguish we shared together (and there’s a lot of anguish in motor racing). Throughout it all Jimmy realised we were both finding our feet and was very friendly, very co-operative. For me, this made it enjoyable, easy and pleasant.

>“As we went along, too, he developed a superb technical knowledge. When he started driving for me, he didn’t of course have the benefit of a formal engineering background. But he did have what I can only describe as a very very good intellect, and he picked up the engineering side of motor racing so rapidly that after a while I was able to interpret his expressions regarding the car, its handling and its requirements and so on. And this made it easier for me to develop better motor cars.

Even Colin Chapman thinks he was god tier

>>8024

>MUH TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE

Hate to break it to you, but any driver worth a shit actively went out of his way to learn more about the car, about what goes into them and what makes certain components work. This is what separates a GOAT driver from an alright driver.

>>8022

Brabham couldn't win a race in the small displacement formula and was nearly out of his depth as a racer by this point. The cars were largely being developed without him by this point. He did perform well later and especially against jochen rindt, but even so to claim he is even close to jim Clark is beyond naive.

>>8025

How do you justify Clark beating brabham on his home turf in the Tasman series?

>>8026

>but even so to claim he is even close to jim Clark is beyond naive.

Um… I didn't…

I argued that Brabham had far more to do with car building and designing than Clark ever did.

Clark was definitely the better driver, but to claim he was the best at EVERYTHING is retarded fanboyism.

>>8029

The gods went to the Scottish highlands just as they did to mount Olympus many years before and created Jim Clark.

Not to knock Jack Brabham, he's definitely better than today's drivers, but he isn't a better driver than jim clark.

Even three time championship winners like Stewart worship Clark.

>>8030

I got carried away and misread what you were talking about. Jack Brabham's role in building the cars is overstated, but that does not necessarily mean that Jim Clark was more involved at lotus than brabham was at motor racing developments during his time there.

The cuckchanners here earlier today must have gotten to me.

>>8034

You mean during quali? It wasn't THAT bad. I enjoyed having more people discussing the happenings, and Secondberg not being so second.

>>8036

It wasn't, I'm just spoiled from how good it's been here. Even the fights we have get dismissed quickly or end in concession when someone is factually wrong.

>>8038

Don't be a shithead. Clark is still a better driver than Brabham ever was. Even the aussie sees that. Alan Jones (aus) and Denny Hulme(new zealand) and howden ganley (new zealand)were very good drivers in their day, but nobody worth shit seriously considers them to be better in driving ability than jim Clark. Moreover Ron tauranac was the lead designer on all the brabham cars in the era where brabham actually drove.

>>8039

I was referring to me being a shithead to you m8, earlier in the thread.

>>8040

I am sorry that I was a fuck and assumed otherwise.

>>8040

My apology is a shitty video of a Hispanic kid playing with an impossibly rare detomaso guara

>>8043

I know right? Amazing. Also pls accept this terrible vid.

>>8044

That's an awful fate for a great car, have a video of Tommi Mäkinen showing how to drive a Lancer Evo properly.

>>8045

Wait, wrong one. This is the one I should have linked instead.

Fug, summer is starting here too, sun is shining and it's +13, just went out to buy some snacks and didn't even check the weather, everyone else was walking around in T-shirts and I had winter jacket, didn't give too many fucks tbh though

I honestly am hyped to see Martin in a F1 car again.

>>8054

+13

I assume you mean 13 degrees Celsius? That's still cold m8.

Unless you're talking about time.

>>8056

He's in Finland.

>>8055

>We will never see an old man racing league with Formula cars, with brundle at the helm.

;_;

>>8056

I DON'T SPEAK THIS GOOBLYGOBBLE SPEAK, PLS SPEAK IN ENGLISH.

>Brundle apprehensive about Rosberg winning a hip amongst Hamilton and Vettel

I'm partially okay with this.

Sky asserting their dominance over lesser TV broadcasters.

morning

>>8076

Hi.

>>8079

Wymmin can handle F1, there have been both female drivers and test drivers before. The problem with them is that they're all largely shit, not that they can't handle Gs.

>>8080

I would like to see their breaking zone data. I bet they cant handle the G

>>8080

That's usually because when a woman appears in a lower formula, some lower end team snags it ASAP because she could bring a LOT of sponsorship money. Talent is not relevant, as long as sponsor money comes.

Squirrel once again dead.

Henno password anyone?

>>8085

>I could see gender testing in F1 causing a lot of SJW issues

there is no gender restrictions in f! you faggot. let that tranny seffa have a go in F1, I would support HIVF1

>>8085

Why would we need to test for gender? They'd all be racing in the same races.

>>8089

I didn't think about that.

Bernie would almost certainly make some off hand comment like he did with Danica which would be hilarious

>Ted going to Vettel's shoes

Still sore about that BTFO earlier I see.

That's an amazing reaction image.

>Half of the race already gone

Could Sky possible be any more plebeian?

>>8237

I hope he means having one endplate looks ugly.

Teams would never agree to get rid of them because it is less advertising space that they don't bother filling.

>>8237

No

>lmao

>>8237

They could always have adverts in middle of races.

Dubs and Hamilton Dnfs.

>>8243

No idea.

Good news for Button? Now I've seen everything.

>DRS too effective according to sky

>>8247

Yeah but much smaller space

Unless you are suggesting that the center column would be as wide as the current end plates. That would look ugly.
