isn't that a football team?

Freddie Mercury

I am still so looking forward to that coming out of beta

This is even better when you imagine this is gimi talking

...

It sounds exactly like him

He is truly goat

he's right tho, I hate this about Dutch people anyway. When any Dutch athlete performs well suddenly the entire country is sucking his/her dick. Like when Epke won a gold, suddenly everyone is a fan of him. Same with the Dutch NT, Dumoulin during the Tour and now amd amx. It's annoying to say the least.

> patriotism is bad
Found the DENK member

It's not patriotism, it's nothing short of bandwagoning. Are you a man city fan by any chance?

How is this considered to be a sport?

can you bet on driver's dying?
like if i place on max verstappen dying this season is that a bet i can place?

quints and bianchi wins

No.

>New Monza layout for 2017 Pic Related

It's probably already been discussed a bit but why is the response so negative? It is arguably much better like this. Except for muh Kurwa :DD Grande (which isn't even a challenge in modern F1 cars its just a bendy bit that is taken flat out even in pouring rain). It's going to be insane seeing cars take T1 flat out at literally the fastest a F1 car is going to go and the new chicane isn't as slow as the previous one, so a huge straight into a mid-speed chicane, especially at the start is going to be insane.

The first chicane of the current layout is so fucking disgusting and is such an overwhelmingly artificial "hey look you can overtake here because everyone comes to a complete stop" put there just to promote overtaking.

Also the gravel around Parabolica is apparently coming back, bikeys BTFO. I know we've had some discussion here before about there being no punishment for going wide, but now they are actually going to rectify it, who would have thought? It's going to make Monza great again.

Considering that the cars are already hitting like 360 km/h at the current layout I think it's reasonable to expect the new 2017 cars on the new layout with the longer straight to get up to like 370, maybe even beyond. I for one am fully for it and don't give a shit about Curva Grande

I don't get it

what's different?

no chicane at the very start of the lap?

usually people complain and bitch when something is about to be changed, that's how it works

Monza is just so MerMerFer.

Yes my American friend. Also gravel coming back to the outside of Parabolica (last corner) so you can't just run 10 meters wide with no punishment anymore and Moto GP is going to get BTFO or just stop using the track

Some minor reprofiling of the corners as well but shouldn't make much of a difference

They moved the start chicane into the Curva Grande

I don't mind it that much, but I would have preferred to just keep Curva Grande in all honesty

kankkunen

Or just remove the first chicane and leave curva grande unaltered.

literally means hangover :DDD

because he was always drunk:DDD

and hangover :DDD

Does Mika Hakkinen mean love?
Because he's my definition of love.

Well this would be the optimum but of course it won't happen. Honestly they should just remove all the chicanes except for Ascari or whatever the one is at the back straight and have a full YOLO race flat out for 95% of the lap but of course that won't happen

Actually they should just bring back the original oval seeing as it's still FUCKING THERE just not being used at all.At least old Hockenheim is literally gone now but the Monza oval is still there and in a state that it could be restored

Why can't we have an optional third car for the teams again?

>tfw there's a universe out there where Mercedes has 3 dominating cars

Cost control

Feel free to spend 100 million on aero tho oh and don't forget to spend 100 million per year on developing an overly complex engine that you can only have 5 of (3 in the coming years because cost control) for the whole season, forcing manufacturers to spend obscene amounts on not only performance but also unprecedented levels of durability

F1 is all about being green and eco-friendly with it's electric engines that ONLY use 100 kg of fuel per race

don't forget to fly 100s of people and 1000s of kg of cars and car parts and equipment to 21 different locations around the world in the span of a a year tho

> there's a universe out there where-in my gf isn't a dumb bimbo
Release me

>there's a universe out there where your gf is my gf

>dumb bimbo
>bimbo
>dumb
>gf

why my man

>why is the response so negative?
No more Curva Grande! There have been some great overtaking manoeuvres there in the last few years.

>there's a universe out there where you're my gf

Do you have one with a brain? We could trade m8

Pretty and a sweetheart, just retarded. Idk m8, I don't suspect it will last much longer.

see it this way my friend; if she wasn't a dumb bimbo, she wouldn't be dating your pimpled ass.

Well, the third car would be optional, so only the teams who spend a shitload anyway can have a third car, the smaller teams can just circle around like usual

but imagine
>3 Ferraris on the grid
>Another driver to make Shamilton angry
>Kvyat still in Red Bull torpedoing Memestappen

Is it this one?

>Do you have one?
NO!

> implying /f1/ doesn't consist of top tier males

Red Bull has 4 cars though.

I'm glad it isn't a thing just because it would have meant 2+ years of MERC'D podiums


SILVERD

Thankfully Max will be taking a heap out of RBR's budget if he continues to drive like he did in Mownaco

but what about WCC points? three cars = more chances to get poitns = higher position = more prize money

Teams should only have 1 car

>Max gets promoted to Red Bull
>Is literally like 0.4 seconds slower than his teammate in quali
>accidentally gets gifted win due to strategy and managed to not choke on a circuit that Maldonado managed to not choke in front of Fernando Alonso and every weakness is overshadowed
>regular race weekend again
>crashes more than ever in his career
>twice in the same spot, misses quali, teammate on pole
>retires from race due to crash

It's over, Max is finished! He will not win another race in 2016. This is what you get for hiring a driver based on his overtakes and nothing else (he is still a step up from le suicidal russian though)

that is the advantage of doing it instead of phoning it in like Red Bull does

they had 5 cars in 2011

I'm never sure if its satire with you suomis

Any team is technically welcome to do this if they wish, it's just that no one does and Toro Rosso has been around for like a decade now.

Merc is semi doing it with Manor now though but still not officially or as intensively as Red Bull.

isn't the first chicane quite a lot like how it used to be?

disregard, it's nothing like it.

But it is artificial and lame, if a team wants to expend more Bernie should let them.
I rather have one more competitive car than 2 shitter ones for the "baby tier" drivers to get experience.

get a room ffs

>they will never ever sound like this again

youtube.com/watch?v=5SoZiTxdQyw

why?!

>>Is literally like 0.4 seconds slower than his teammate in quali

this was due to a wing setting Ricky changed in Q3 and Max did not know was possible because in the Rosso this would give him massive under/oversteer.

>mfw when when I'm reacting to Finnish shitposting when

Literally chills and duckskin

t. fan since May 2016

still a whole week left for even a FP

:(

*peeing noises*

meh, its just people getting exited for someone of their country. happens everywhere.
bandwagoning is most common, I bet you do it too but won't admit it of course because you too cool for this.

so what if people watch F1 because of amx now, who cares.

I just don't like the monumental unrealistic perception people have on him, even our own pro-drivers commenting on him are going way overboard with this.

>when they tell us how difficult it is to overtake at Monaco
>when they tell us how easy it is for max because godly

and these are 'the cream' of Dutch racing kek
only Lammers stays grounded and tries to temper it a bit.

Max Crashstappen
Max Vercrashen

pls

Science is an amazing thing.

THE REAL MAD AMX

DONALD BTFO

Further promoting the idea (especially to younger people) that you can literally just "change" your gender and immediately look like a woman/man

The only reason he looks so "good" is because he is a millionaire who spent hundreds of thousands on plastic surgery and whatever else to make himself look as feminine as possible. And people actually seem to think that just "changing your gender" results in huge visual differences. It's basically false advertisement

The average transgender person will end up looking like a complete freak and just a weird in-between gender grey area, unless heavily aided by plastic surgery and lifelong hormone treatment

Remember when people thought Vettel and Ferrari were going to win the world championship this season?

I'm just happy that human nature never changes. I'd be pretty pissed about it.

monza is literally one of the most boring tracks on the calendar

the netherlands is literally the most peasant country in the world, its name even translates as "land of the lowborn"

I'm not sure what you mean. There have been great races there and it's one of the fastest tracks. What's boring about it? Silverstone is 1000 times more dull.

Whether or not it is "boring" should not matter. Monza is part of the soul of F1. It is like Monaco, in that sense.

People complain about F1 losing it's identity by going to soulless Middle Eastern and Eastern European states and that the old European races (Nurburgring, France, Imola, etc) aren't even on the calendar anymore. Then people complain that the old European races were at "boring tracks".

I saw one of the god-damned worst races of my life in the 2016 MotoGP Spanish Grand Prix at Jerez. There were no overtakes in the race, and the guy who started on pole led every lap and won the race. But, you know what? There were still 100k people there on race day and people were happy. The fans were happy because they were at an EVENT and felt like they were seeing history because one of the sport's greatest riders won one of the most-prestigious races on the calendar.

That experience and feeling cannot be created when the old "boring tracks" like Monza are taken off the calendar. Thinking otherwise means you don't really understand the sport, and what makes it popular.

EVENT

Hi, I raced in the Indycar this year and have just started to use rfactor. I was wondering on how i get this to work.

I have down loaded the championahip and unzipped it and plaved in the veichles folder but when i open rfactor nothing appers?

Also i can see someone has drawn my car but when i go to skins for Indycar it says nothing has been drawn. I was wondering if any one could help.

THANKS

If I had tons of money, and all my family was dead, I think I might screw with my gender.

there's something special about a ferrari engine blowing up. i really enjoy it

I NEED MY NEW F1 GAME REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Favorite Kimi quote?

"I was having a shit :DDD"

its boring on purpose: the post

Monza also isn't any more of a boring race than Abu Dhabi, Spain, Silverstone, Nurburg/Hockenheim etc

>long question from overzealous reporter
>"yes"

i suppose its ok

you may want to try the /ovg/ thread in /o/

"boa"

I like it when he just shrugs and walks away

"In Finland we like to have sex with children and fish, and in the winter you can't get to the fish"

I love his long-winded PR answers that mean nothing and don't answer the question directly. I have no idea why journalists still insist on asking questions from him because he never gives real answers

Bonus points for:

>boah
>"its the same for everybody so"
>"but i don't make the rules so"
>"its obviously a great _____"
>"doesn't matter really"
>"makes no difference really"
>"improve the package"
>"well.."
>"well obviously happy for team"
>"obviously we want to win"

There are literally people who only specifically fish on frozen lakes in the winter
