first for van der gardener
called it

Friendly reminder that only literal autists and Dorftrottel follow F1. :)
dubs and OP will post his AND her penis
Not enough black liveries desu lads
this thread is moving so fast no one will notice i had sex with my sister
dubs and dubs

NEW RED BULL DRIVER
AMX REPLACED BY PUPPER
...
Throwback to the OG Kiwi McLaren days confirmed
>red bull have been involved with F1 for over 20 years
>they've had two teams for a decade now
feels weird desu
>tfw i miss jaguar's racing green
someone should buy manor and slap a jaguar license on it
NEW RED BULL PIT CREW
ALSO REPLACED BY MORE PUPPERS
godspeed, doggo
I thought these pictures told me its fine to give my pupper Red Bull but then Pic related happened what do I do now?
Forgot this part too
is this the great pic you wanted to post? Seems a bit weird.
Literally 3 races until somebody dies on track. Didn't take WRC "new groub B" cars 30 minutes to kill a guy, F1 can't take much longer with deathmachines and snap oversteer
According to this:
dynamic-flow.co.uk
When following another 2017 car, aerodynamic balance shifts massively FORWARDS the closer a car gets to the next one, which is completely opposite to the norm.
What does this mean? It means instead of increasing understeer as a driver intends to overtake, risk of spinning out (Snap oversteer) is induced.
While total downforce is a little better when cars are running close together next year, this odd shift of balance could actually be quite dangerous!
It's gonna be a wild ride lads....

why can't they do something right already ffs, what was the last regulation update they actually managed to improve something?
liberty please help us
>tfw negative hype because no drivers I really like or rather it's plainly obvious the ones I dislike are gonna be successful
The cars can V12 powered rocket ships but it means nothing if Lewis wins, Max beats bully, McLaren doesn't give Alonso a good car, Kvyat doesn't replace Max part way into the year and Hulkenburg gets a podium
help out this poor burger who is too slow in the head to post it in the general

I hope he had a good Christmas dinner
WRC victim was stainding in a very bad place. F1 cars won't hit a marshall or tractor. Worst case scenario is t-boning car infront after losing control in braking zone. A mix of monza 2011 and wurz/coulthard australia 2007 is the worst case I can think of. Will someone get decapitated? Or lose legs like zanardi?
>Perez 0.5 than Hulk despite Hulk being better in qualis and only being behind in races due to FI's fuckups and getting crashed out (yeah, it's me again)
lol
Hulk was only better than Perez in 2014, 2015 onwards Hulk was shit
>Vettel 1.5 more than Kimi despite not even being quicker really
Gimi is old and last year's car flattered him
>Verstappen 1.5 more than Sainz even though he was only a little better at the start when they were at STR
only 0.5 more friendo, I rate them very closely however. Sainz is definitely in the same ballpark as Amx
>F1 cars won't hit a marshall or tractor.
piotr...
>Fernonso Alando tring to overtake Felipe flat out
>snap oversteer by the "best chassis on the grid since 2014, no seriously guys"
>hits tall curb sideways
>flips over, and sails off the track, hits marshall
>marshall ded, Alonso in tears
>car parked
Stop sticking numbers to drivers you fucking autists, it's no use
>2015 onwards Hulk was shit
>drove amongst many things one of the best qualifying laps ever according tofor example Martin Brundle in Mexico
again, he was the unluckiest driver, and if neither had any bad luck or things in general going against them they'd be on the same level last year points wise, Hulk most likely even ahead, and he also would have had at least on podium (in Monaco) where despite getting screwed by the team so hard that he still did an amazing drive with the best overtake in the race on Rosberg
It's not like someone is going to bianchi himself.
Or are we considering extreme scenarios, where cars roll over barriers and cause havoc like it's 1955?
That was your ebin pic?
>my Mexican GP one was similar but better
>webm related
only numbers I care about are sick fucking dubs lad
those things happened before and it's suggested that the 2017 cars will be faster, harder to control, and now possibly turn into fucking rollercoasters when overtaking. why do you think it's LESS LIKELY that bad shit will happen?
>Its not like someone complains about the marshals being in harms way every race

>F1 cars won't hit a marshall or tractor
always think of Eddie Guerrero when I see those
...
I gave it a closer read and apparently:
At half a car length away the front wing only loses 6% of downforce, which is pretty damn impressive, HOWEVER; the rear wing loses over half!
Combined with the increased co-dependency of a lower rear wing and larger diffuser, teams aggressively using this effect may see a complete diffuser STALL when running close to another while the front wing is still operating with near 100% efficiency.
This would send a car off track SPINNING LIKE A FUCKING TOP.
This seems rather counterproductive to close racing LADS..... I'm not memeing here I'm fucking serious.
If they had kept the tall rear wings things would have been FINE. The old rear, funnily enough would be a PERFECT match for the new front wing.
The complete change really looks like it's gonna mess things up pretty badly, like, LIFE AND DEATH BADLY.
I guarantee that if a car has a high speed beyblade let em' rip moment the thing is just gonna go flying worse than Wobbler In a poorly designed Mercedes.
Calm down m8 nothing like that's gonna happen
>At half a car length away the front wing only loses 6% of downforce, which is pretty damn impressive, HOWEVER; the rear wing loses over half!
That's actually reassuring long term.
If it's that much of an issue, it should be pretty easy to get teams to agree to changing the regs for 2018 to raise the rear wing height.
Strap in lads. Aussie race is going to be fucking glorious
youtube.com
>300km/h beyblade death traps
my body can't possibly be ready
I will admit, though, that Perez's driving style suits the recent loldegradationlol Pirellis, which are supposed to change for the coming season, so if Perez gets exposed, we'll know why and my rating of him will drop.
I want to believe.
Cars are going to have more drag, therefore top speeds will be lower, unless engines go sky high. And tyres will be wider, providing more rolling resistance and even static friction when sliding with locked wheels. All of that gives lower top speeds and faster stopping at the end of straights.
But on the other hand with higher speeds in corners, we might get unforseen consequences. Crash out in style when no man has crashed before. And with higher speeds in those places, current safety measures might not be good enough.
And there's a case of going airborne.
But we'll see.
Loose wheel killed someone and wheel tethers were introduced. Wheels were still flying around, so they made stronger tethers. A driver lost his life after crashing into a tractor, so now we have (v)sc when there are service vehicles on track. Most of the time it's reacting after something bad happens, but can it really get much worse?
As long as it remains as wide as the 2017 wing I'll be happy.
why did they make the fucking front wing even wider? it was already too wide and complex before.
>but can it really get much worse?
capped for the end-of-the-season meme wall
so Red Bull, McLaren and Force India with their rake abuse are gonna have literal bucking broncos, porpoising and all? That's fine by me
>you will never squeeze those ripe juicy melons
Why even live?
...
Alright boys cheeky dubs for whose life will be given this season to satisfy tractor cunt?
Reckon it'll be Massa at Brazil, his dad has a massive heart attack live on tele too
>Why even live?
to finish your anime backlog
They made the tyres wider and wanted the wing wider so they could do the same/similar airflow around the tyres
>to finish your anime backlog
So much shit I have yet to even think about touching on my backlog, it just keeps growing like a cancerous growth
bunch of cupid stunts.

VERY cute doggo
Wait a minute. ESSO? Mobil1?
Yes, I didn't think of that, sounds like you know more than I do and it sounds like it only gets worse....
So, dolphin diving rip roaring, tip toppling beyblade 2017 f1 cars.
The only saving grace they might have is if the THICC tyres can anchor these fucking aerodynamic abominations down.
But they're made by fucking Pirlelli...
>is this the great pic you wanted to post? Seems a bit weird.
Literally wrong Finn.
>he didn't know

Round here that's called a stoppie ya willy
Hulkenberg first to have a big off then?
yes, it was confirmed a while ago. Renault, Red Bull and McLaren played musical chairs with their fuel suppliers.
Mobil abandoned McLaren for Red Bull
McLaren brought in Castrol as the replacement
and Castrol/BP are supplying Renault because Total have fucked off from F1
