Her bottom is rather supple

literally the same picture but with tires

TEAMLH

Except the thicc one in this pic is attractive

Nico's only mistake was to not puncture Lewis's tyre imo

The only way to stop Lewis is to deliberately run into him.

So what's going to happen to Massa?
Are Williams going to release him? Is he going to end up another team?

If Schumacher doesn't leave and make way for Lewis there wouldn't have been a seat open at Mercedes and maybe none of this MWL would have happened.

MWL would probably still have happened. Unless you think for some reason Lewis directly contributed significantly to the design of the cars or subscribe to the >everyone is making sure Lewis can't fail

...

It would have at least been a competition imo.

Nico vs post-prime Schumi might have been a fight, presuming Schumi fell off the wagon hard.

Who dis?

...

Is Leclerc going to anymore FP1 sessions?

What I'm getting at is the hybrid era would still have come and Mercedes would have the best car blah blah blah regardless of the driver as long as the drivers were not shit.
Schumacher+Nico team would follow team orders right? So that wouldn't be a fight at all and I don't really get what your getting at there

Do you know if classic mode has split screen available on console? To me Codemasters games are only worth buying for local co-op.

>Schumacher+Nico team would follow team orders right?
Would Schumacher have?

Secondly Merc aren't using team orders now; why do you think they would have instituted them if Lewis wasn't there?

...

Your probably right on both accounts now I have thought about it a touch longer. It would be pretty much the same situation as now but Schumacher rather than Lewis. But it would still be Mercedes wins.

If you go back in time and want to stop Mercedes winning you would have to succeed at poaching their engineers before they reach the dominant level they are now

Goodnight HULKAMANIACS and jabronie marks without a life that don't know it a work when you work a work and work yourself into a shoot,marks

Monaco is the only race that mattered.
Lewis wanted to avenge his loss from last season when they screwed up pitting under the VSC. and how fitting that this season Red Bull ends up screwing up in the pits and costing Ricciardo.

Lewis knows that tying Senna with 3 WDC, that he needed to win Monaco more than once. Especially if you want to be compared to the all time wins leader at Monaco.

Just for you some hulk action.

...

tisk tisk Lewis watch the track limits.
He tried cutting the chicane to stay ahead of Ricci.

How to force someone wide, hamilton style

I was thinking about Massa yesterday, and how much I'm not going to miss him.

proof that nice guys finish last :c

Did Prost suck in the wet, or did Senna just make him look bad?

...

Prost hated driving in it because an accident with Prost's car ended the career of Pironi at a wet Hockenheim in 1982.

i remember watching this when it happened. probably like five years ago by now

WTF
FELIX "KICKED OUT OF FORMULA 3 FOR SPENDING 6 YEARS THERE" ROSENQVIST IS DRIVING IN FORMULA E NEXT SEASON

>bristol rained out twice
>pocono cancelled
when are turn left series going to develop a rain tire for oval racing? I know they won't try it but there's been so many cancelled races due to weather.

Why are all Swedes terrible at motorsport?

Is that the straight-to-DVD equivalent of motorsport racers?

it all started with keke

...

Fuji 2007 was truly a meme race.

What about Mattias Ekström?

yeah a new rule where they put a cap on F3. You get 5 season limit.

they even made a cringe reveal video for him wtf lol

Mahindra probably make really good tractors. They could become a force in FE.

what if nico left and schumi stayed and it was lewis vs schumi?

they somehow own Pininfarina as well and have literal dozens of fucktons of money they want to spend from India's 2020 WORLD SUPERPOWER economy

also how do you have so many webms
and please tell me how you make them so high quality

>Mattias Ekström
literally who?

DTM equivalent of Gimi
but worse

Blomqvist.

I still get sad thinking bout that monaco gp :'(

>these plebs don't know Ronnie Peterson

...

Likely HWL but it would have gone down to the last race. Schumi could win if he bullied Hamilton hard in the first year.

>worst sporting moment of the last year

d-don't rub it in user

is our guy lewis man enough to take the plunge into the wall at 240mph to make his mark on F1 history?

>5th in Austria
>4th at Silverstone
>3rd in Hungary
>2nd in Germany

RBR can't out-bully the bully

>who is Joel Eriksson

Well tbf he isn't really proven to be a GREAT racer yet but he has won a race in his debut F3 season and in general appears to be a good driver capable of some sick moves. Also finished 2nd in ADAC F4 which is what le mini ralf is going to do this season (after finishing 10th in his debut season, behind e.g. Ralf Aron who only participated in like half the races lol)

No one knows how these things pan out so he could become just another "F3 sensation". Then again his (considerably worse) older brother made it to GP2 so I'm assuming that same money will enable him to do so as well.

no

>still thinking dubs work against Hamilton

He is going to win the championship with an even bigger margin than before. Probably going to throw in a cheeky win from the pitlane and break that record (is going to need a safetycar or two but safetycars aren't uncommon in Spa/Monza)

The man is unstoppable, I just hope Mercedes never win another race after this season.

Nowhere in Baku :^)

>outscored by le frog senna during their time together despite starting ahead of him all but once and depite max's monaco madness episode (which was totally his own fault but still, a 0 point weekend)

he's finished

full webber mode by 2017

Does anyone here actually un-ironically have Lewis as there favourite driver?

no

me

I unironically think he is one of the best drivers on the grid. Maybe even the best now that Alonso appears to be slipping a bit and hasn't really driven a good car in like 4 years.

Terrible personality though, bitch loser, smug winner, too much instagram inspiration shit, total meme personality. Didn't mind him at all pre-tattoos though, was an all around nice lad when he first came to F1

With Belgium in a week, just thought I'd remind you user's about the ridiculous bets we made at the beginning of the year
1/3

It always gives me a good laugh to read these back

I still want some of them to be true, but we know meme magic never works

un-ironically think he's always been top 5 on the grid his entire career and he's earned every WDC he's got and one of the greatest
Ironically a fan because watching /f1/ get btfo every race is hilarious
un-ironically a fan of trickyricky and what him to be a WDC but i doubt he will and will become webber 2.0 even though i like him a lot
Ironically a fan of madmax because meme's and he has to keep getting away with it so he can become hamilton 2.0 to /f1/

Yeah I think he is the best driver on the grid aswell, but I think he has become a bit smug cunt recently. I much prefer amx, tricky ricci and gimi.

Pretty much me here too lad

I posted this yesterday but the thread is gone. I want to see your list, Sup Forums. I want to see it really really badly. Then I want people to argue over each other's lists, maybe even fight a little bit, but mostly just argue. You may also compliment one-another.

I have an idea for cheating the F1 wind tunnel/CFD regulations lads

If you remember, Renault used to have FR3.5 as their junior series, and Ferrari used to have AutoGP/A1GP that they made the chassis for.

So, for a works team looking to gain an aerodynamic advantage, it would make perfect sense to combine the two aspects of those series, and create their own version of GP2 - a spec open wheel series that's a step down from F1, but similar enough that there's much transferable knowledge.

By designing their own chassis it would steal some of Dallara's market share, and they'd be able to freely bypass the restrictions on wind tunnel hours, allowing them to freely craft the perfect brake fluid reservoir or whatever cocknonsense is the new performance-boosting exploitable trend, under the guise of "oh but we're designing it for our similar but not as good car that just so happens to be designed to sit the teensiest bit outside the current f1 regulations"

They'd have to hire maybe 100 people or so for the car/engine development and toss in an extra €100-150m into their budget, but that's pittance for a major car manufacturer, and they'd gain a lot back in marketing if they do it properly and turn it into the most desirable junior series to be in.

I'm surprised Ferrari hasn't already leapt at the chance to do this sort of thing teebh

>senna would have faded into obscurity if he hadn't died
Considering where Hill ended up, Senna could have won in 94, and would have easily done so in 95, 96 and 97 in the Williams.
If he had gone back to McLaren after that he would have taken 98 and 99 too.
He'd have been a 9-time WDC.

Guys, Tricky can do it, we just have to BELIEVE

best thread session this year was Baku GP2 races 1 and 2

all the GP2 races have been very good

seriously how do we make GP2 more globally popular?

>Ironically a fan because watching /f1/ get btfo every race is hilarious
It's not /f1/ that's getting BTFO, though.
It's F1.

Since his '06 gp2 campaign.

...

FIGHT
AND WIN

I'm un-ironically hyped for the upcoming
>Lewis starts at the back of the grid with the most powerful car on the track episode
the shitposting, i mean...
THE SHEER AUSTRALIAN SHITPOSTING AND BETABERG BULLYING
i will do if he somehow manages to end the race in front of rosberg again

who /GOA77as/ here

I mean they really should list the amount of grand prix wins in these things instead of number of WDC's

>he somehow manages to end the race in front of rosberg again
Highly likely

Bets on Ferrari will cuck themselves in strategy and Vettel will end up behind Kimi

>Destroy Bernie and F1.
>Promote GP2, keep current rules.
What is the casual fan going to do? Watch IndyCar, WEC, NASCAR. Not with the 6 hour races or constant ad breaks they're not.
The Public want 40 minute races in which drivers are constantly on edge with each other

What's Raikkonen even thinking here?

MotoGP

to be honest they just need to promote it more
hype it up with paid media, have dailymail jerk off over the british gp2 drivers the same way they do for f1 drivers
get some good replays circulating of the action

that's his secret
he's never thinking
