First for California champagne by Paul Masson
I'm completely okay with this. I've been wanting to go to Australia for a while now.
Clearly not. It looks pretty fucking Jewish to me.

Your angles are off, notice on the right side how the orange line goes from the inside of your star to the outside of the star before the direction change. Additionally your top point is too tall because of the smaller angle.
This is more accurate.
They've been spraying Chandon or Rose water for the past year mates, that article is a year old..
I don't really watch podiums, unless there's Gimi that tries to autism his way out of the situation
Sorry Finland we forgot you know everything about F1
...
I quite like the podiums, it's nice to see some of the celebration. Also most of the podium interviewers tend to be cringy or Martin Brundle.
what did he mean by this?
And in a few days you will be able to finish the meme & add pics of Butass taking his seat
at least there is based Kai
At least there will no longer be a million ice cold awkward Nico-Lewis podiums anymore. The mood is always better when there is a maximum of 1 Merc driver there otherwise its just cringe
"oh hey, look the wall behind the podium no longer says MUMM but Chandon, interesting".
A true genius

>Didn't notice I fucked up the fingers when I merged layers
Yeah, the ones in nice places, Monza's crowd is nice to see and drivers loves being there, Monaco because it's in the middle of the road and you always see stewards keeping mechanics from the drivers because of reasons. But sadly you never see someone go full rage like they should like Vettel-Mexico or Lewis-Monaco 2015
Max is literally
>8 years younger than Ricciardo
>10 years younger than Vettel
>12 years younger than Hamilton
I wonder how you deal with even competing with someone that much younger than you? Let alone the fact that he is getting more praise than you and actually giving most drivers a hard time on track. It feels like Hamilton and Vettel were the new young guys just a while ago and now they're so much older than Max. Ricky and Max are in the same "stage" of their careers, some good results and drives, but not much to show for it in terms of wins and achievements, ready to challenge for a title, it's a bit strange. It does make me kind of dread the inevitable era of Maxwinslol. I mean drivers are generally at their peak at 28-30 and max has 10 years of time in F1 until he is that age, and he probably will be driving decent to great cars that whole time.
I mean when is the last time you spent any time with a non-relative who is a decade younger than you? They're like from a different planet. Even the way they use technology is like alarming to me.

Offer made to buy Manor F1 team ahead of 2017 season
An offer to buy the Manor Formula 1 team has been made but the bidder requires an answer before Friday, Autosport has learned.
Just Racing Services Ltd, the company that operates Manor, went into administration last week after previous talks to find an investor broke down.
It is believed the administrators FRP Advisory LLP are talking to interested parties, one of which has made an offer.
Autosport understands the offer is for all three Manor companies - Just Racing Services Ltd, Just Racing Ltd and Manor Grand Prix Racing Ltd.
Just Racing Ltd, the holding company of Manor, and Manor Grand Prix Racing Ltd, the F1 and FOM licence holder, are not in administration.
The bidder believes that to ensure the cars can be built and tested on time ahead of the start of the season, a decision on the offer is required before January 20.
If that deadline lapses without confirmation, the bidder could make a revised offer but it is expected to be lower given the reduced time and increased costs required to get the team on the grid.
FRP Advisory LLP declined to comment when approached by Autosport and Manor team principal Stephen Fitzpatrick could not be reached.
The administrators of Just Racing Services Ltd have agreed to pay all staff salaries to the end of January, extending the window to save the team.
The 2017 car is ready to go into production, but parts cannot be produced as the administrators have put a block on spending to protect creditors.
The new season starts in Australia on March 26.
So any guesses as to who this investor is? Interesting that the offer is for all parts of Manor, seemingly including the LMP stuff as well.

No idea how likely any of these would be, some more than others but just total guesses

Max started at a younger age thus he peaks at a younger age. It's a good bet he is already at his peak or almost at his peak.
You can't predict the future. He is a good driver now, certainly in the top quarter of the grid, but we'll have more talented drivers in the coming years and maybe "good" won't cut it. Also while he is playing the goodboy Red Bull pet right now there is a chance he becomes an arrogant prick not only to the rest of the grid but also to the team.

It'll be funny to see him bitch if Marcus gets the better of him. Plus he is likely still fuming that Ocon got the FI seat, kek.
mfw its actually true
So that means Bottas to Mercedes pretty much certain now?
>and he's pissed off
It was always certain. Mercedes were never going to take someome with only a year's experience, who is also a hot head, and not good in the rain. No matter how much testing he did for them.

It's been certain from the moment Toto Wolff became his manager
To undermine that personal relationship and the Mercedes junior connections would be such a blow to both Wolff as a character and Mercedes as a team, that it's simply not worth it. Also in the context of the Rosberg retirement, its been certain since like mid December
I do think Bottas vs Ocon might have been less clear cut but I don't know if Merc would have been crazy enough to hire a driver with seasons of Prema/ARTwinslol and have a season of Manor under his belt.

Well that part is a joke, but one thing that Sauber does deserve credit for is how many new drivers they have brought into F1 (read: how good they are at accepting money from bigger teams to give a seat to a big team-sponsored rookie). Williams definitely deserve more credit though, Bottas, Maldonado, Hulkenberg, Montoya, Button, Villeneuve etc

He already has all the skill needed for the top, he needs to not fuck up as much and he'll be winning many more races in the furure.
why are you quoting my post when what you're saying is unrelated
Guys serious question
Is Ocon actually good or just a lucky hack in good cars?
Pic related. ONE win. Ghiotto and Kirchofer both had FIVE each, and both of them are now in GP2 and didn't really do particularly well, especially Kirchofer. Ghiotto was very good at times but inconsistent. Granted they're not in the best cars but still.
he's good
he beat Verstappen in F3
similar to Bottas in that they're both very consistent drivers, and Bottas beat Ricciardo in F3 so they're probably similar on pace
AMX won more races in a midfield car than him in a front runner car at F3
Bo77as is an #ALPHA
Surely Brazil 2016 tells you what you need to know? And would Force India take a driver who they don't deem as good?
let's play a game of guess-the-owner-of-that-nose
I wonder whoever it could be
>And would Force India take a driver who they don't deem as good?
On the one hand they have a decent track record about this
On the other, Celis Jr.
>On the other, Celis Jr.
you mean ca$h Mon€y
Celis Jr is some rich fuck who just gets the occasional test day and FP1s and likely pays millions for this privilege. Considering how tiny FI budget is, I really don't think they mind letting some fat fuck drive their car occasionally for what likely accounts to at least 1-2% of their total budget. He's not their junior and there is no chance they will promote him to a race seat even if one of the drivers gets injured.
True. Their choices were Princess Pascal + money vs Ocon + money vs Giovinazzi + no money though, its not like they could just pick anybody

I dunno, Sauber over the years have had some good ones. Kimi Räikkönen, Felipe Massa, Robert Kubica, Seb Vettel, Sergio Pérez
And they kept Kamui Kobayashi and Nick Heidfeld in F1 for a while.
Ocon is overrated.
t. totally not Pascal.
But seriously he is.

Happily, Cellis has apparently left the team. No surprise, as the fat fuck would struggle in the 2017 car.

That's always been happening. How many popular Flying Finns have been in F1 over the years?
you bet your sweet sphincter you will
What's Ricky doing at Mercedes?
Sure he beat Verstappen but Verstappen was also literally in his first year of cars. On speed alone I think Verstappen was quicker, he just lacked the consistency, because he was in his first season. Also the times Ocon and Verstappen raced each other on track, it generally ended in Max getting in front or staying in front.
Also, Premawinslol vs Van Dutchnigger shit team

>Have Finnish driver in a top team for more than half of that time
>Generally have more than 1 Finn on the grid
>"bandwagoners" now that Bottas is moving to Mercedes
Pretty sure the Finnish F1 market is fully tapped out. Everyone who wants to watch it is already watching it. The only thing I can see this changing is the opinion of Bottas. He is nowhere near as liked or popular as Gimi but if he starts winning races he will immediately be the next great star literally the new Häkkinen RÄIKKÖNEN NEEDS TO RETIRE HE IS OLD
