Autosport Awards are ongoing this evening.
>Hamilton already won British Competition Driver of the Year
Hamilton will NOT win the 2017 WDC.
xDDDDD
How is this general in the rest of the off season, fellas?
Does it just die? I mean, by now it is surviving thanks to Nico's retirement and Mercedes uncertainty, but how has it performed in the past years?
Usually dies about 3-4 times from now until March
It's actually pretty healthy
Purely on memes, shitposting and stories of jelly beans & incest
It starts to die off closer to christmas and goes in an out of living till the car launches.
WAGfag might comeback over the offseason as 8ch seems fucked.
>stories of jelly beans
>WAGfag
Well that is a fun coincidence.
Died twice last winter.
What a shit thread. I already had one ready but had to take a call.

It's good when I post

Fuck Hamilton
Had a little family party earlier and little nephew turns up with a new model car he got from some school christmas event saying its front is broken & only I can fix it as "he knows all about racing cars". The front wing & suspension had just popped out and quickly fixed, he wants to know all about the car & it's driver. Lads how do you explain to a 5 year old their favourite race driver is a potato?
how much does F1 petrol cost?
is that shit like nitrous in FF?
do all the teams use the same type?
It depends, no team with 4 contracted drivers next year?
I pass, m8. I dont like negros.
>mfw Lewis and Hamilton get fucking exposed next season
really hope you guys get some good sniffs in this christmas when you visit family
HE SAID MAD MAX
tell him something like he Lauda'd or so.
Petrol in F1 is pretty well regulated. They used to use mixtures which burn your eyes when the cars ran but now it is a lot closer to standard fuel.
An F1 car can actually run on standard pump fuel
F1 cars use a slightly different mixture with tighter quality control but it's basically road fuel.
Ferrari and shell put road fuel in their F1 car a couple years ago and IIRC it had worse acceleration from the corners but higher top end speed.

Afraid of the competition, Lewis?

Gravy and tzatziki is a weird combo but not unpleasant.

>Implying Lewis won't destroy Hamilton
fucking pretend he's luxembourg mate, fuck him, he fucked up, he's aquafresh light
>revealing your racing enthusiast power level to family
So, I guess the only significant differences besides the tighter quality control is the additives they put into the f1 fuel to preserve the engine as much as possible.
it was croatia hiding his coat of arms
>pascal
>Nazi Hamilton Rookie of the Year
MERC DEAL CONFIRMED!
in 2014, mclaren ran mobil 1 fuel when their mercedes engines were designed for petronas fuel, and lost 40hp as a result
also with turbulent jet ignition road fuel is a lot less effective and the fuel companies are putting more additives in to get it work
>Not Giovanazzi
Ocon will be pissed by that literal slap in the face from Pascal
Solid explanation that lad
Best part was before could cook up something to explain on the spot to a little kid saying their new favourite sports guy is one of the living dead uncle/dad/granddad all started talking about their favourite old school racing bits. Dad used to go to Le Mans a lot when younger & granddad wants racing to be "on the edge" again & go low-tech, he wanted to know what had happened to all the older circuits, changed his mind when I shown him Hockenheim re-do. Turns out Uncle is a big Lauda fan
as much of an insufferable cunt hamilton is, he would absolutely destroy Vettel
Vettel is an ultra babby who can shine in a car that you basically don't need to drive because the front goes exaclty where you want and the car has so much traction it might as well have traction control
and if you want a tldr of tji;
>From a Mahle annual report: “While ignition normally takes place in the center of the cylinder, with Mahle Jet Ignition it essentially takes place from the outside toward the inside. This allows significantly better combustion of the fuel mixture. The result: more power with considerably less residue.”
>lying to your child 3 times in a single sentence
Just talk to your nephew after dinner and tell him he just ate schumi
One of the GOAT moments of the season. Not only is it super embarrassing anyway but also such a massive waste of a great starting position within the top 10.
Had he actually started the race and gotten strategy right he probably could have gotten a very solid meme result
Yeah, this. Just tell him Schumi turned into a potato. I assure you he'll innocently laugh about it and always remember it.
>He drops eating all 'tater related foods after this
>lying to your child 3 times in a single sentence
it's called white lies
maybe if
>but maybe it will take so long that he doesn't get better
was added to gently break the news that he's not long for this world
and kek, he'll want to start carving his spuds into f1 cars
Who would win in the same conditions?
>having one ready
haha I pity you
>a compass
Wat
Alonso is the man Lewis fears.
a compass thats almost always wrong too
The Belgravia Centre wins every time
Baby Lewis seemed like he was an ok guy at the start, just his dicking about with Alonso when they were team mates & then his full transition into HAM when at Mercedes. Thinking on imagine he was a proper knob just kept it low in first McLaren as didn't want to let the big kiwi team down for his chance. On the bright side we did get some memes out of HAM
damn, some nice model cars
To be honest, Merc may not even be the car to have next year. Obviously if Rosberg retired last year the clamouring for the seat would be justifiable, but next year could be dominated by literally any of 4 teams. Red Bull actually seems more likely because muh Newey obviously. Mclaren are a possible contender, and even Renault could come from nowhere when they've got the full force of the manufacturer behind them. Ferrari will likely be decent too, but held back by carbabby/old man/Italians. There's a good chance Mercedes will still be strong, but it isn't guaranteed.
You could have at least gotten the title right.
Yeah quality models
Who the fuck even calls a Finn at this time anyway?
I AM.

>Red Bull actually seems more likely because muh Newey obviously. Mclaren are a possible contender, and even Renault could come from nowhere when they've got the full force of the manufacturer behind them.
But I think you are contradicting yourself with those sentences. How will Redbull be the top team in 2017 if Renault stops supplying them top-of-the-line engines?
Must be pricy af

RB have an engine-equality veto clause in their supply contract because Renault are idiots
I like your flag.
A friend actually returned my call. I've been working on his motorcycle and I have to buy some pretty expensive parts to get it work.

aw fug, do you lot actually use bikes in the Winter months or you just getting it working for him now for the Summer time?
tfw we can't have pre 2014 Lewis back.
>you now remember he was ashamed of having been on the podium in Malaysia even though the team had underfueled the car, and told Nico to stay behind.
Now I feel like he would just crash into his teammate.

>01:49:42
blyat reeeeee sucka
Lets be honest Lewis was still a bit of a shit even before the HAM era
Aren't they just buying the engines and labelling them 'Tag Heur.' It seems like quite a neutral relationship since the rebranding. I'm more referring to the potential finances behind Renault. I know pure money isn't all you need in the sport as Ferrari regularly prove, and the likes of Toyota did - but I do think it's too soon to discount them.
old people getting Awards
r u dbtfag?
Jesus, ok lads something to pad time until WEH gets the #2 spot all officially. Find a nice car online using the budget set by the Porsche model
It's a KTM. Urgent to get it to work for when the ice is good enough.

I don't understand.

Yeah, he had a bit of an edge to him but it he it was hard to hate him, when he gets out and thanks everyone, and acts in a grown up fashion.
