abandon thred

Well done lads - we fought off the hand egg menace

Third for /team Floersch/

Thread saved

>tfw stronger than an owl

Best general is best

What's a Floersch?

Last digit is the number of non-Merc wins this season. Dubs or better for reroll.

That's enough for a non merc driver to win the WDC

>12 Merc wins
>choke senna WDC again

>12 merc wins
>7 Bottas 5 Lewlew
>8 Tricky Riccy wins
>Riccy WDC

Everything is right in the world

So is this sport basically just for STEMfags and wannabe engineers who have a sexual fetish for graphs and spec sheets?

no, e-sports are on Sup Forums

Basically. If you're a mouth-breathing nascar fan the concepts of science and technology are often lost. Best you don't watch, it might confuse and infuriate you to the point of throwing your own feces.

These

So it's basically a high dollar science fair

Its pretty much for rich bogans

So does F1 beat even baseball for sport most susceptible to buying wins with money?

Kind of.
Finding loop holes and exploiting them > money > driver skill
But money was kind of needed to exploit loop holes

However for drivers
skill > money

So, why is F1 considered the premier racing series then? There must be other racing series that have stricter or more "fair" regulations correct?

Not trying to shit on it, just trying to understand.

>Bottas BTFO of Hamilton
>Verstappen BTFO for at least one year before domination

I want to believe

what happened to henno laddies

Spec Series are normally boring, and Driver Personality>Driver Talent in the majority of audiences

he listened to Blur too much

I wrote a pretty autistic long post but deleted it.
Basically what the Aussie said plus the best drivers in the world tend to get into F1 so there is great racing when the field has been leveled.

all drivers seem to be some combination of confident/arrogant though?

And fastest cars in racing too

Yeah, but that's most famous sportspeople. People love it for whatever reason

>I wrote a pretty autistic long post but deleted it
me too m8

These drivers are the best in the world and are paid millions of dollars, of course they are all confident and, to a certain degree, arrogant. Most of them aren't that bad though, there's probably only 3-4 drivers in the field for this year who are insufferable at times.

gj lads

What happened to the boomerang cunts? I thought there would be more activity at this time of day/night.

i love Walter

Walter Bottoms will be Runner up to Lance Stroll in the wdc for 2017

Rude
Almost 50% of the posts during the owl were me

>Lance Stroll

*Lance $troll

fucking leaf

I was quite active myself. Besides, I count you as a boomerang cunt as well even though you're just a fruit. It's sort of like lumping Chinks and Japs together as Asians.

You called?

Fitkenberg is going to outperform his Renault so fucking hard

Is it just my imagination, or are the drivers visibly bulking up to be able to cope with the higher cornering speeds? Some of the drivers seem more muscular than before.

didn't the weight limit increase?

...

Everyone is training harder than usual. before the end of lat sason some drivers started bulking early

Weight limit is without driver, and it did, from 722 to 728kg.

Are you sure about that? Why do they weigh the drivers post-race then?

>Cars must weigh at least 722kg (including the driver and all his safety equipment but not fuel) at all times during an event.
I fucked up.

This and the other articles are more digestible versions of the proper regulation sheet.

>These skinny twinks trying to bulk
ITS FUCKING HILARIOUS

Anything F1 related happen yet this week? Checked these threads sporadically but I see nothing but maymays.
Moving up to Kerry county now for some last days of hiking, then back to dublin airport three nights from now.

Wut, why do I have an English flag now. I'm on a public train in Ireland - with their wifi.

Not really
Pretty quiet

feels so good to be in the /best/ general on Sup Forums

Should add Saubers launch date on the 22nd.

Only thing I can think of is Manor died and there were photos of their wind tunnel model.

>English

>Shane van Gisbergen ruining a merc

Please come to Formula 1

Lads I need help, I can't take this wait reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

WHY IS MOTOGP STILL SO FAR AWAY

>motogp
who cares

Gas the bikes, race car now

8/10

Can't a man enjoy both motogp and f1?

Union flag then, you know what I meant

Enjoy MotoGP only when there isn't any other 4 wheeled motorsport and 2 wheels without engine around that week-end

What abou this motorsport

Shouldn't you be protesting today?

Idk mate

Yet another talentless motorsport sidewalk whore fucking their way onto the grid. Don't pay any attention to it.

This question has bothered me for almost eight years.

Had Red Bull won the driver's and constructor's championships in 2009 instead of Brawn GP, would Brawn GP still be around today, or at the very least lasted beyond 2009, or were they destined to be bought out by Mercedes no matter what, even if they didn't win it all that year?

I think Mercedes were going to buy Brawn out anyway IIRC

Do you have a source for that?

>Pats touchdown in OT
>"why are they all celebrating don't the falcons get to go on the attack now?"
>"no"

He realised I'd made him watch 4 hour long elaborate coin toss and got angry and left.

Did anyone else in /f1/ watch the superb owl and were completely confuzzled by the ending?

yes. college football and even the fucking CFL have an overtime where both teams get a chance with the ball. this was the first superb owl that went to overtime and with the way things played out they will probably change overtime to the college/cfl style. this will probably be the only team to win an owl with this retarded overtime system.

"When I see this picture I see the 2 greatest men in our sport that practice. I hope you win same him this year Lewis. #HamiltonandBradyTheGreatest"

MotoGP is far more entertaining than 4 wheeled races mate

let me guess, it wasn't in 2005 and 2006

>Irish
>In Ireland
>Has UK flag
Kek has given us a sign. Man the armies Nigel, we're restarting the empire

>two wheels

big nope right there

>2 wheels

Open your mind and enjoy all, there are a lot of great races on two and on four wheels

This 2bh; being an elitist over what sports you watch is madness

not an elitist, watching bike races just doesn't do anything for me

I know, but I just lose connection to it after a while, maybe mostly because I just don't know where and when to watch.

If I didn't watch it when Casey Stoner was winning all the time I'm certainly not going to start watching now, I like F1, not MotoGP, just how it is.

I can watch bike highlights but ultimately a race does nothing for me.

i'd watch it if they stopped using the ass cam

Yeah, like superbike

Just come out of the closet, everyone else knows that all euro's are homo
