Fuck off, Finns are based. Might move there if things get worse over here.

clearly why you love it so much

she's ready for him

Shouldn't be tied up in some lads basement right about now?

I hope that's a real tattoo, and she literally branded herself for chokeberg.

Rate the race. 6/10

How much better would this race have been had RIC overtaken Rosberg? I would probably bump the score up by 2-3 points tbhfam.

if it had been a side by side finish like that gp2 race awhile back i would have bumped it up 2-3 even if tricky didn't win

>Branding yourself with the puma logo just for championberg

That would be some top tier devotion.

8/10 considering it was Singapore and the track is almost always boring shit

would have been 9/10 if Kimi had come out before Hamilton, fucking Ferrari

clenched anus for the final laps/10

sweden you should be rooting for the aryan ubermensch that is roseberg not for the refugee outcast that is dani ric.

jk, i love the aussie. i even follow him on instagram

Who else is following the real 2016 formula one season?

8/10 because I was mad drunk and didn't fall asleep in the 3rd quarter of it.

And then RIC almost made it.

>WCC

>haas podium
wew

My bad

how many bongs is that?

Who won 14 and 15 anyway? Ric and Vet respectively, right?

Probably, yeah.
The differences aren't really so big when you take a team out and apply the points as if they never existed. It has a bigger impact on the smaller teams, which is kind of weird because the podium positions are worth so much more points.

fag

>without mercedes
>williams, FI, manor

325 bongs, 45 bings

Crashing at every race, with no survivors.

So if Hamilel loses to Rosbeta and Rosberg becomes world champion, how bad will Hamiltons reputation suffer?

It'll be much the same, I fear.

His """"fans"""" will claim that he only lost because of bad luck/ conspiracies .

Drivers who have exposed themselves as potentially having very few seasons of F1 left

>Grosjean
>Palmer (1 season wonder)
>Hulkenberg (getting beaten by le podium dude all the time now)
>Bottas - it's clear that today's race wasn't his fault but having results and races like this really doesn't flatter him and its pretty clear that the only option he has available to him is Williams, who will probably drop him in a few years in favor of a young paydriver

Alonso has publically mentioned quitting already and seems less interested than ever despite the good result today. I think if the 2017 cars (and the 2017 McLaren) are shit, he will just retire.

> Manor started on 2017 car in January

Forget Mercedes, Red Bull and Ferrari lads. Hairline champion next year.

>Palmer (1 season wonder)
More like wonder why he was there in the first place right guys.

>implying Wehrlein won't be driving for Mercedes when Lewis suffers a mental breakdown in Mwxico when Rosberg wins the championship.

She or he is pretty cute.

Bottas has a contract offer from Renault

>€83m budget
yeah i don't think that headstart is gonna matter one bit

And if hamilton wins everyone other than his fans will claim he only won because of blessed luck / jewish conspiracies and affirmative action

cant wait for checo to take 1st place at mexico

Might leave Sauber behind and challenge Haas next year.

Speaking of next year, that midfield is going to be crazy competitive.
> Williams
> Force India
> McLaren will probably finally see their work with Honda paying off
> Torro Rosso with a competitive engine and their sweet-ass chassis

Kvyat either commited career sudoku today or found a place on the grid for the next season.

She is

Wonder if the drivers find it weird to be driven around on the track parade, for example and seeing banners like this in the crowd.

I know I would

Alonso is 100% gone after next season of McHonda isn't fighting for top 5 positions regularly at worst.

I'm not ready for him to go though.

You are telling me you would get creeped out seeing your face on a bag being held by a woman who cries in your mere presence who always meets you at least once a year and wishes to do nothing other then take you to a hotel and breed with you?

I think you might have issues.

mana-chan is so cute...

Stalkers are creepy as fuck, even if they are cute girls.

She goes to the 24rs of Nurburgring every year as a race queen for Toyota.

If you change your name to Nico you might have a chance at sodomizing her in a tent.

full kit wanker

>Not being an F1 FKW

Sure, but so does

>Perez
>Magnussen
>Palmer (0% chance tho)
>Ocon (likely candidate)
>Sirotkin
>Kvyat was talked about
>fucking BUEMI coming back was talked about

If Perez stays at Force India for sure then Renault will go with Magnussen/Ocon pairing. Magnussen for stability and becuase hes not total shit and Ocon because he's French

And even if Bottas somehow ended up going there, it's not like Renault are going to be a top team next year. They'll probably be on par with Williams/Force India and they'll only start becoming a true contender 3-5 years down the line, at which point Bottas would arleady have like 200 GP starts, at which point also the seats become highly desireable for all top drivers.

>Magnussen (not outperforming Palmer by enough to prove himself worthy of a drive)
>Nasr (shit)
>Ericsson (only slightly less shit than Nasr)
>Verstappen (he's getting constantly BTFO by Ricciardo, and will get dropped sooner or later for not performing to RB's strict standards. drove like shit today, couldn't even get past Kvyat until Daniil had to let him through to give a position back to Perez)

Also Japan has the #BestFans

Yea his smile and optimism is gone. Not like he ever specifically wanted to race for McLaren again anyway, he was just forced into it because Ferrari cucked him with signing Vettel.

If Vandoorne ends up beating Alonso next season then he is going to retire for sure. I don't know if he could handle it really

I truly hope McLaren will be at least podium-tier next season though, just to see Alonso get one final race win or something

Although they do have some clear mental patients

Perez is confirmed at FI
Sirtokin has no chance
Sainz is contracted to TR
Kvyat is up in the air I'll give you that
Buemi has no chance, he's been out of F1 for too long

the only realistic candidates are Ocon, Magnussen and Bottas. Ocon is a shoo-in and Renault aren't super-keen on Kmag so it essentially boils down to whether Bottas wants to kill his career at a team falling ever further down the pecking order or join a manufacturer who won't be blisteringly quick next season but will be up there eventually

Fox tail goes under the skirt, ma'am

It's interesting to see Max isn't actually quite as great as everyone thought. Sure he made some cool moves but come on, Ricciardo was racing for the win and he was down in like P8 because of an abysmal start (yet again)

Mad Max so far:

>knows how to overtake and battle - ends up doing so excessively and destroys tires and compromises strategy (how many times did he do this last year and even in Australia 2016 and then ended up having to pit way early and ending up in like P15 where he made his ""great overtakes"" on backmarker cars with worn tires)
>drives like a cunt and complains when other people defend aggressively against him
>can't qualify worth a shit
>nowhere near as flashy now that he's in an actual good car
>eternally destroyed by his teammate in quali and races
>fucks up like half of his starts

Getting him into F1 so young was a mistake. Of course he was ""ready"" just like a Gasly or Giovinazzi would be ""ready"". The cars aren't that crazy to drive and extensive simulator work makes the adjustment much easier. If you've driven a a season or two of F3/GP3 then you can pretty much jump into F1 and be somewhat ok. You can see that the cars are easy to drive because all the rookies in the past few years are actually.. pretty good. Like even Haryanto was right up to quali pace in the car even though no one rates him at all.

Max should have done a season of GP3 and season of GP2 and maybe gotten all this ridiculous shit out of his system instead of testing it all out for the first time in F1 (and maybe never learning from it)

reminder that Amx hasn't won a championship since he was in karts

underrated post

Yeah maybe. I mean if I were him, I would just risk it and go with Renault. Their most recent WDC came just a decade ago.. I mean Williams' last one was what, Villeneuve?

He is so conservative that it seems certain that he will just stay at Williams. In a sense loyalty is good but Williams really don't seem all that great. Claire isn't THAT competent, Frank is ripping soon (after which the team will be sold and Claire will "retire"). Symonds, Smedley and those guys really don't seem quite as competent as the competition. Symonds seems outdated and just shady overall, and Smedley is Massa_fan_2008 and seemingly has huge problems admitting failures like bad strategy calls

Not to mention Williams' budget and the fact that Force India is doing better with less money. Lance Stroll will bring money but he seems like enough of a cunt to really fuck up the team harmony. Massa and Bottas are both nice guys which is why they get along. Can't imagine hotshot Stroll and Bottas would be quite as friendly.

reminder that Haryanto performed better aginst Wehrlein than Ocon is doing
reminder that Ocon completely destroyed Amx in their season of F3 together
reminder that Haryanto is therefore better than Amx

Haryanto is a GOD

I do think Ocon will eventually get up to pace though but being like half a second slower than your teammate isn't a fantastic look for him

>Max should have done a season of GP3 and season of GP2 and maybe gotten all this ridiculous shit out of his system instead
It doesn't matter though because at this point it's obvious he'll be cuddled by Red Bull no matter how many times he fucks up.
They brought him in because he was going to be a huge PR cow, and nothing he's done so far has undermined that status.

>Hulkenberg (getting beaten by le podium dude all the time now)
8:7 in quali for NH
6:9 for Perez in races with Hulk having three DNFs and Perez having none

Safety cars shouldn't be deployed in the first few laps of races.

Does he even lift?

EXPOSED

What is it with Finns and Magnums?

it's a sponsor event that williams are forcing him into, they did one in silverstone as well

but i guess getting a choc ice out of it ain't too bad

big blag ice creams

It's actually not. It's just that Magnum are sponsoring the amberlounge party in Singapore and they have the make your own Magnum station.

You can get gold dust on it if you want.

Hey Nick where the fuck do I get the best ice creams in this land?

Magnum are owned by the same company that owns Rexona mate

key words
Bottas wouldn't be doing it if it wasn't a sponsor event

kaktus is so good i'm shilling it for free

The modern car truly are shit. They are way too easy to drive fast. And in the race, they rarely drive fast.

It's a great ice cream

Fun fact: Finns buy and consume more ice cream during the winter than the summer

do you use the sauna more in the summer than the winter as well you bloody loonies?

is that because Nick visits Finland for his winter holiday?

>tfw u're a finn stuck in the hotel room for tonight and no obese spartan to help me out getting magnum down my throat

Fair do's.

He would still go to the party like half of the grid has

Watching the race later today, did I miss any meme magic or >Vettel action? Did Hamilton look sick on the podium?

you missed this

Hülkenberg start crash
Verstappen struggled
a marshal almost got pryced

imagine if that marshal had been eviscerated
would F1 as we know it be finished?

I missed the race today lads. Pls post webms of stuff that happened

F1 used to be enjoyable because even in these boring races you could just relax and look at the beautiful cars and listen the loud engine sound.

Nowadays cars not only look slow they sound like shit. F1 is dead.

Has anyone got a webm of that marshal getting ripped in half?

He always seems to jolt with unmeasureable excitement whenever Lewis does something noteworthy.

i don't get this webm

Why were they in such a hurry to get the safety car in anyway?

This season FIA has had no problem letting cars drive 10 laps behind a safety car in intermediate conditions, and every safety car incident takes like 3 laps longer than it should. Now they were in such a hurry that the debris was barely cleared up when they were already pushing go

why

Whiting needs to fuck off. His Monza GP2 blunder really shows that the FIA needs to rethink some things and probably fire Whiting as a race director

giving rosberg the middle finger

But this race has been the best since I have started seeing F1 regularly. That first place chase by Ricciardo over Rosberg was thrilling the last laps.

Too bad these tyres are shit so Ricciardo wasn't able to keep the amazing pace he had for the first 10 laps after the pitstop, otherwise I dont doubt him being the race winner instead of Rosberg.

Out!!!

Get out!!!!!

>Ricky could have overtaken Rosberg

I imagine it was because Singapore is run close to the 2 hour limit and they wanted the full race distance. But you're right that Whiting is terrible. He's another "old guard" who's kept around because he's Bernie's mate.

he had a +2.5 seconds a lap pace advantage, of course he could have

around +1 after they gave Rosberg more brakes to use in the last 5 laps

f1 reddit got hacked
wew lad

I'm sure it had more to do with his tyres going off.
I actually question the whole brakes thing desu. It's just typical Merc bullshit. In the interview Hamilton said his brakes simply "got better" in the later part of the race.

WAAAAAZZzzuuuuuuhhhhp

And that's with Perez able to do his party trick tyre management, which shouldn't be such a factor next year.

>tfw the only reason i'm still alive is because i want to see rosberg win the wdc and the new 2017 cars in action

rosberg is shit though

he doesn't deserve it

literally anyone could have done what he did today

except hamilton

Is it, dare I say it, his year?

rosberg was 3 seconds ahead by the 5th lap, after a safety on the 2nd lap.

ricky was holding him up the entire race. deliberately slowing him down to give rosberg a massive lead. he was up by 10 seconds by lap 12.

it was a joke of a race and rosberg is a joke of a driver. the fact that brundle made jokes on the podium by saying "it sure wasn't plain sailing to victory, was it?" really hammers home the reality of that not being a race at all, but a fucking circus instead.

brundle did a good job of keeping the bullshit in line. when merc was making up fake brake issues for rosberg, he pointed it out, and crofty got angry at him.

and the fact that all of rosberg's wins are exactly like this is why people don't like him and think he doesn't deserve a championship. the way he celebrates all his free wins like he's the greatest driver ever to grace the sport is fucking insulting

he's like vettel but with no sense of humor

That sounds like fun. Schrader or Presta valves?

Calm down Sky F1

When was the last time one of Hamilton's teammates was over seven tens quicker than he was at a quali?

Presta but noticing one issue here, no German. You best stop for some snacks & something to drink on the way.

The state of F1...

it was good when it was live and we didn't know what was going to happen
and like vettel nico has lost control on a last a lap whilst ahead and being pressured from behind so it could have happened again

Eh, I rate the race 6/44.
I understand it's not much but as you said, the state of F1, it was way bettter than many of the one we've had this year.

>you know realize that if instead of Hamilton, a very average driver like Bottas or Hulkenberg was Rosberg's team mate at Mercedes, the last couple of seasons would have been GOAT tier competition wise.

very surprised that he wasn't told to move over by tost or marko.

Will Hamiltons reputation suffer if he loses the championship,to Rosbeta

>the way he celebrates all his free wins like he's the greatest driver ever to grace the sport is fucking insulting

The fuck are you talking about? He's down to earth and thankful literally every victory he has, and in podium interviews will give the other drivers kudos and play up for the crowd. Hamilton sulks the moment he isn't winning, and is only capable of either bitching or self aggrandisement. And don't evien start on the dark Vettel years when we had to listen to that whooping carbabby.

no. only british back-to-back world champion. even at this stage, rosberg is only eight points up despite winning two more races.

I thought about swapping Rosberg for a better driver, but this is an even better choice. Putting the slower drivers in the fastest cars should theoretically allow the faster drivers in the slower cars to level the field.
Might have been interesting to watch.

I was watching live and it fucking sucked. It's like people have never watched a F1-race before in their life, Ricciardo was never going to challenge Rosberg.

Personally I had the hope ricky would be able to throw a wrench into nico's face even though it was realistically not possible.

6 races left
only 8 pts behind
hamilton has closed a 43 point deficit in less races

he was on his gearbox on the last corner
another lap and he could have attempted a pass

a DRS pass*

is nick dead? did he OD on ice cream? haven't seen him around here since..

The pole lap review is night and day between the merc drivers and triccy Riccy

Well it wasn't pole but I think you know what I'm on about

How?
Rosberg would just do a Vettel and dominate.

>t. nigger

...

...

Fuck off, if the tyres were decent then there would not have been 4 stops, and Rosberg would have run away with it. The shit tyres are what created the context for Ricciardo catching up.

Hulk is underrated, and Bottas is something of an unknown quantity.

It did both honestly. If the Tyres lasted though, both of them could have leant on tyres so it would likely lead to a similar result anyway.

Mercedes were on the ropes with brakes and I think Rosberg lost more time following traffic then Riccardio did.

Underrated by teams, but overrated by fans/commentators.

keep rising lewlew

Not really.

Rosberg is clearly at or near Vettel level while bottas or Hulk are clearly below Webber level.

...

>Rosberg is clearly at or near Vettel
This is only a reasonable thing to say if you don't rate Vettel highly.

Relative to Webber, both were in the same car in 2006 and Webber beat Rosberg on points (7-4) but Webber retired in 3 more races then Rosberg. Pretty shit car honestly, but I think you're overrating Rosberg a lot.

...

mind blown

It was a rubbish car, as well as Rosberg's rookie year and before the Pirelli tyres so Webbo was actually good. Hulk vs Rosberg would actually be quite an interesting inter-team battle.

To Rosberg's credit, he has held up pretty well against probably the highest rated driver on the grid alongside Alonso.

tfw honestly cant see what it says but im assuming 44

He will go on media saying he let his friend win because he had won enough titles to satisfy his inner greedy nignog

are there?

>serious doubt

i am a big fan of canamasas and hopes he get an F1 drive soon

>this is me
only highlights every now and then. Plus all that's been posted here

I think he's held up as well as Webber did during the VWL era, but unlike that era, there's no car that's even close to the Merc. Rosberg's only doing half decently this year, because Hamilton's engines die, and Rosberg is better the new start procedure.

GP3 is better lad

He would find a way to fuck up and lose, after all he would still be Rosbeta. Also, since he is beta, his betaness would infect Merc and they would have a mediocre car after a couple seasons. That way we coulde see a 3 way championship battle between ROS, RIC and VET.

not a fan of max but thats smooth

F1 must be really boring if we're getting excited over a battle that didn't start until after the finish line.

I agree with this

sadly not every race can be suzuka 2005.

Here lad. Yes, absolutely. Hill gets a bit philisophical at times, which i i didn't expect. That aside, it's a very detailed read of his life and career.

>tfw somebody reposts your OC

Thanks m8. I can't actually get a copy at any local bookstores, and it's not even available from Amazon's warehouse. However I can just order a like new copy from the UK, eventually.

...

I screenshotted this lad, don't play

it'll be worth it, trust me. hill had help from maurice hamilton who also did max mosley's book (very good) and a book on williams (excellent).

Lads i heard that Kvyat was having a vacation in South America.

He got ZIKA, blyat!

Never liked Hamilton but he is a phenomenal driver and deserves to win but its terrible that for the past decade its been only drivers from two teams that have won and you can't blame the drivers because who wouldn't take having a significantly faster car if given the option or even the teams themselves, they're there to win.

this was a pretty good moment 2bh

also rip laughing kvyat you will always be in my heart instead of the sad broken man you are now

I recently read James Allen's book Michael Schumacher: The Edge Of Greatness.

I honestly loved it, it was really well written, and very detailed. It helped paint a picture of Schumi, that even as a fan, I didn't truly understand until hearing more about his past.

Honestly, after reading that, and hearing Allen's replace Will Buxton, I really miss him in the booth. Murray was loveable, but Allen was so smooth and sharp with his calls, and actually added to the race, vs just made noise (i.e. Croft)

I'm hoping there might be a bit of background in Brawn's book, and well I like Brundle, and felt he was a bit unlucky in his F1 career. I liked Webber's book Aussie Grit, and there was another one, about the Illmor Engine that btfo'ed everyone at Indy one year, I think it was called "The Beast", or something. "Go Like Hell" was also top tier if you like books about LeMans.

i might buy that schumacher book.

>he'll never get to write one

;_;

i really hope i'm wrong, but i feel parr and brawn's book will be a boring read.

i don't expect much from johnny herbert's book. the beast book is on my reading list. god i miss cart so much.

i have webber's book - not read it yet.

i'll have a look at go like hell - thanks lad.

You can pretty much drive that exact circuit in THE CREW

I have them both as iBooks, I'll have to screw around with it later and see if it's even possible to remove the DRM on them. There was one tool, that ended up not working. Don't have much hope of it working however.

I really don't care much for Herbert, I mean he did have that terrible accident at Sneteron, but he moans and complains so much. His two wins just came from literally Hill hitting Schumi.

Even if the Brawn book is a bit boring, I just have to read it. I do hope one day he publishes a book about his career, his time at Jaguar, Benetton, Ferrari, Honda/Brawn, then Mercedes.

I'm a bit sad that Tom Walkinshaw never published a book, that would have been quite a tale really. If I had to compile a list of people I want to publish a book, it would have to be Barrichello, Todt, Byrne, Irvine, Domenicalli, Montezemolo, and Briatore. Alonso's might not be a bad read either, the Honda section must be a painful one.

What's wrong with that? Ant is well, I don't know what to say about Davidson. But he's a Brit, and a British driver won. What more can you expect? Honestly that race was a rollercoaster of happenings.

HOW WAS I NOT AWARE OF THIS BEFORTYFOUR

Hamilton turned a 19 points advantage in a 8 points deficit in 3 races…

Is he a choker?

I'm not talking about Davison, I'm talking about Allen sounding like he's having a fit. Murray could project excitement in his voice without going all spacky. Even Crofty can do that to an extent.

>tfw running out of room for physical books

not really a fan of herbert either, but i like driver biographies no matter the subject.

i imagine a walkinshaw book would have been quite negative. i'm glad peter warr wrote most of his book before he died.

gordon murray and robin herd also need to each write a book imo (though the march book by mike lawrence is adequate for the latter).

Yes, but not as much as Nicolas "43 to -19" Rosberg

JB had been close to a win a few times before, and honestly, I don't care too much about his fit. That's genuine emotion, and not the usual crap I get from Croft.

yeah. no though.

What's Herbert's biography titled? "At least I got three more than he does"?

Has Barrichello still not published a book? I remember him mentioning several times he would write a tell-all book about Ferrari. He's been away from F1 for five years now, surely he's got the time

one of those races he had to start at last place due to engine penalties remember so that was basically a gimme to rosberg he had no control over

2nd race he raced amazingly to get pole
then clutch fucked up on him and he was essentially starting from 6th

3rd race he just spaghetti'd since freepractice1 and kept spaghetti'ing right up until he crossed the finish line for 3rd so that was all on him

I hope he stays I like Daniil.

And I love watching an underdog tough it out. Not that he isn't good, the situation has placed him in underdog status

lel. it's 'what doesn't kill you'.

one and a half legs

wanna see some retards on the loose in germany?

youtu.be/u48jzFrCGEA?t=27

I mean the only thing I can think of, is that maybe after Michael's accident, he didn't want to publish something like that. But then again, I don't think he think's he's finished yet, and therefore maybe he's not actually sat down to do it.

I mean there was a rumor he was going to buy a seat at Catherham for one race. Honestly though, why the hell is Barrichello not in WEC? He had and probably still does have raw speed in him. Probably it's hard to even get a seat, the manufactures want drivers to from their own programs in most cases. Maybe he wants to drive in a Ferrari in the GT Pro class. Honestly who knows, if Felipe goes WEC, he could be his teammate.

He still goes karting, and he's even been at a local karting track in Orlando. He seemed very approachable. He did IndyCar for a bit, and then um Stock Car in Brazil?

God, when he was holding up Max, someone posted the Russian national anthem. I opened it in another tab, and looped it till Max quit and pitted.

I want him to do well, and honestly it shows that when he's in the right mood he can do well. Sort of like Mansell I heard, Patrick Head said Mansell needed to be treated carefully, and if you did it right, he'd deliver. Maybe a move to Renualt could be on the cards?

what the fuck was he thinking?

Green was for the sector after

Maybe he prefers doing nothing these days. or has other 'hobbies'.

If there was an oil spill, why did they not start waving the flag before the first BMW crashed?

But christ, beyond the idiot that ignored the flags, what was the one on the track waving his arms doing?

Would a halo have saved him?

>I was watching live and it fucking sucked
Kek toothpaste couldn't handle watching kyvat BTFO verstappen until he had to let him through

Nah, a weld would've failed resulting in the halo going through his forehead

He races in iRacing like 24/7. He's always driving the Formula Renault 2.0 cars.

I've never been that interested in sports in general but lately I've taken an interest in motorsports.
How would I get familiar with this stuff?

Watch a bunch of different types
Find out what ones you like
Come here and talk about them

Listen to Bill Burr's Monday Morning Podcast.

The most basic thing to realize that driver talent is only one part of the equation. Most people that are new to motorsport don't get that.

In motorsports when all the cars are the same like GP2, it's more on the driver. There's basically no difference between one car and the next, except slight suspension and aero tweaks.

In F1 or WEC it's also about setting up the car, tires, strategy and how good the engine and chassis are. The driver is less important; as long as they don't make mistakes, it's gonna work out in the end.

Halocucks will now say a clean halo-decapitation would have saved him suffering.
Picture unrelated.

>it's gonna work out in the end.
Except if pic related is doing the strategies at M'Rarri.

best race of the year so far, and Singapore is usually the most boring on the calendar

Nice digits

I did quite enjoy it

I miss that comfy Rabbitstream of old seasons we had last winter. What happened to Streambro, is he kill?

Is Nico, dare I say it, elite?

r8

Maybe if the halo was made of strong unobtanium and able to withstand the weight of yo mama it would have worked.

Point of the halo is supposedly to help in crashes like Wilson or that dude taking a tire to the face. But somehow people believed it would have mattered in F1.

There are no marshals during Touristenfahrten around the ring. The guy who's waving the flag is just a spectator/enthousiast.

What do you think was going through nico's mind? He didn't seem to flinch, I kind of expected him to

found that strange too, he didn't go straight ahead to avoid him, he just followed the racing line like nobody was there

Presumably Nico could see the marshal from the beginning of the straight and was watching him closely as he approached and judged it safely.

how is he so based?

Nico may actually win this. Hory shit. Somebody bring me back down to earth

Keep rising dutchbro

how is this even a sport?

its just guys driving around and sometimes crashing

I'm actually hoping nico wins it. it would be good(ish) for the sport, for himself, for us (ham crying/complaining)

Guys im retarded. Why are street circuits allowed, but is zandvoort deemed to dangerous

>zandvoort deemed to dangerous
They say that but really It's just because no one wants to go to toothpaste-land

street circuits pay charlie whiting lot's of money
zandvoort has no money and also doesn't have the infrastructure to host f1 anyway

Don't want to go anywhere near AMX's """fans""" when he loses

fia.com/regulation/category/123
Appendix O, chapter 7 onwards. You can probably find what's wrong with Zandvoort.
Note that it's not the only major track to be left out of Grade 1, Le Mans for example is also not Grade 1.

Tell that the Syrians

it's mostly due to track width, runoff areas, pitlane being too short, paddock being too small and not enough spectator facilities for grade 1. i think the service roads are not up to scratch either

...

looking at a dtm onboard, there is very little runoff on some of the bends. one left hander, turn 4, looked especially bad. it looks like the wall has been brought forward. some other left handers look poor for runoff, as well as one right hander.

runoff appeared to be sand.

pit exit feeds directly into the first corner. a lot of tracks feed pit exit into after the first corner to avoid that situation, e.g. monte carlo, interlagos, spa, singapore.

Because F1 cars can't drive on a circuit paved with Aquafresh.

10/10 lad, congrats.

Reminder that F1 is now owned by burgers and pre race bible readings will be mandatory from next season.

'V6T is too quiet' is a hoax

works on youtube for me, just not in the embedded player

apparently the current engine noise is about on par decibel-wise with the v8s, but people are triggered that it isn't the high-pitched screaming they are used to

Mostly because of no-fun rev-limiting and higher pitches sound louder. But I legit reckon Bernie got the sound engineers to make them sound quieter because he's opposed to them. On broadcasts I don't think they don't make as much noise as the older engines do.

the v8s sucked imo. every engine sounded the same. f1 needs twin turbos tbqh.

>Hulk's last podium

Please stop wanting F1 to return to Zandvoort.

Are you people fucking retarded? Just because it's located in the Netherlands doesn't make it a good track. I would think the Dutch would be ok enough to travel to Spa, it's really not even that far away.

Zandvoort was never good when F1 raced at it, and it's not good now. Sure its kind of cool to drive I guess but other than that it's simply not suitable for good racing. If F1 went there now we would see less overtakes than in Monaco. The WHOLE TRACK is pretty much medium speed singlefile, even in shitty junior formulas like F3, with literally no overtaking opportunities. And the main straight is so short that you can't get enough of an advantage even with DRS.

Just please let that track die and build something better

And if you're really that confident about Zandvoort being good, please find me a good singleseater race from Zandvoort from the last 10 years and I'll watch it

excuse me?

90% of the F1 races are boring MWL shit anyway, would be cool to have it at Zandvoort for historic reasons and the fact that it would have no trouble in selling out the tickets

Ocon apparently had a 75 second pit stop and a 15 second pit stop which does explain the gap in the race.

>this response from this flag

wew what a shocker

AMX hype is dying down already. If they added it to the calendar no one would bother next year, unless he pulls some pretty sweet memes leading up to it.

This is why people don't like your country.

Would any other small nation post like the toothpaste do just because they got a driver?

When Stroll turns up I doubt we are gonna get filled with idiotic Canadians. The Indonesian didn't flood just for Rio.
And If we get a winning Japanese driver they will be very polite and everyone will be happy for them anyway.

>The Indonesian didn't flood just for Rio.
I guess you don't follow Manor on Instagram.

In a sense, Aus-posters could be doing the same thing; we had Wobbler, and now we have Tricky Ricky.

Otoh, the Dutch are always bandwagoners. Everytime the FIFA world cup rolls around, they're always there letting off orange flares.

He said in an interview, that he lost some time avoiding the marshall. So he presumably lifter a little earlier.

The Dutch are just the ultimate bandwagoners when it comes to any sport

I can see why they're so excited about Max though, considering their motorsport heritage in F1 is basically le crazy dude Jos and Giedo van der shit, so in a way it is somewhat understandable in that context, I just wish they were less obnoxious about it, especially when Max isn't even as good as they think.

I literally met a dutchie, and out of sure curiosity I said, "The only thing I know about the Netherlands is Jos the Boss, and Max".

He went into a 5 minute rant about how Max is probably the greatest driver to enter the sport. His points had some merit, but when I said he's forming a bit of a regulation of being reckless like Sato, he said he's only been watching since the start of this year.

>greatest driver to enter the sport
>started to watch this year

Other than that he wasn't a bad chap, but he was tall, like tallest person I've ever met.

>this autism from this flag

wew what a shocker

Face it mongol, Max is the saviour of this dying sport.

He'd sell out 150k tickets easily for Zandvoort

Why? Because I would like to have a Dutch GP? Retard

I meant here.

I think it's mostly becuase mudslimes don't have the internet.

#blessed

No one wants 150k dutchies, they are shit fans.

Besides Zandvoort is a shit track.

My own country wouldn't want 150k of their own people? What kind of retard logic is that?

his 8 pts lead is because;
1. lewis started at the back due to engine penalties
2. lewis's clutch shat itself on the starting line
3. rosberg had one good race, probably the best of his career whilst lewis simultaneously had one of his worst whilst tricky ricky also had one of the best races of his career

who would the other 9 be anyway?

FUCK I will miss the quali because I'm at work. AND I'll miss the race in Japan

Did Kvyat really BTFO Max though? Max had a poor start due to his clutch and could've easily gotten smoked by Hulk but avoided him in great fashion. The scrap Kvyat and Max had in the beginning was fantastic by both of them but Max still completed a great overtake in the end in an area of the track that we're not used to seeing passes. T b h I think Max did very well this weekend and so did Kvyat

>mfw went to an Indycar oval race this year
>that noise

Kvyat got told to let Perez by after he went off track during his overtake of him.
Max had passed Perez already so Kvyat had to let Max pass anyway.

It wasn't "a great overtake in the end in an area of the track that we're not used to seeing passes" (stop quoting Brundle he is a dick sucking hack) it was just Kvyat letting him through.

>i-it was just Kvyat letting him through g-guys

Kinda looks like Alonso crossed with Hamilton

Short of brake checking Max to a standstill I fail to see how exactly he lets Perez without letting Max through.
Clearly though there is some magic toothpaste skills only known to a select few.
Probably requires the blood of your first domestic abuse victim so no wonder Max goes through GFs so quickly when he has learnt from the best.

>Commenting on his fight with Perez, Kvyat added: "I tried to pass Perez - it was very hard to pass, so I tried braking really late and ran all four wheels outside the line at Turn 7.
>"Max also passed him [in the same move], and I had to let Perez past, so I had to let Max past too."

That is a big if.

Emilia is completely unhinged from reality. She is the sort of girl that in a purge situation would sing nursery rhythms while she skips around your shack absent mindlessly throwing molotov cocktails in.
Valtteri standing in the distant just soaking in the carnage and getting an increasing erection as he listens to the screams from within & Emilia giggling in glee.

Probably she demands to fuck you on top of Valtteri's body.
Just as you cum she leg locks you and pulls you deep into an embrace.
You feel her push something into your mouth using her tongue.
It feels metallic and sharp and you look as a grin spreads across her face.
Still in a leg lock she pulls out the grenade with no pin she is holding.

If you want but I doubt people already in that thread are gonna leave.

...

Eh, I'll take it to be honest.

Maybe I'll get lucky and it's a dud, I mean I did manage to kill Valtteri, so who knows what could happen next.

Knowing Emilia she would purposefully use a dud just to see the panic in your face before turning back to full non-purge qt mode.
