"Joe Saward: Ferrari tried to ban Merc suspension because they don't know how it works"

joesaward.wordpress.com/2017/02/15/tosh/

Is it uhohspaghettio time at Ferrari yet?

Great qualifier
Good racer
Likely if he is in the top car this year that he beats out Amx as qualy will be more important in this "literally loose all down force in your front wing and half in your back wing when closing in on a car" formula


Basically if reports and theories are correct and RB13 is the dominant car Danny gets the WDC

Pretty stupid assumption by Joe's Award desu.

>Ferrari tried to get if banned instead of copying it, so that means they don't know how it works.

Why copy it to be equal with Mercedes, if you can just get it banned and be equal while effectively wasting a shitload of their resources.

does newey magic still work with limited downforce?

I am on the >implying teams didn't know this months ago and have come up with a solution side of the fence

So yes

But DID it get banned?

iirc that hasn't been decided yet

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't RedBull also using the same/similar suspension set up?

yes

As I understand it the clarification Ferrari put forward is banned. That doesn't necessarily mean that RB and Mercs suspension is banned as Ferrari may have asked for clarification on their own unique design.

>Whiting replied with his view that the concepts outlined in the letter would be illegal, which is a signal to the other teams not to appear in Melbourne with the system on their cars or they risk being sanctioned by the FIA Race Stewards.

Which does indicate that Ferrari doesn't get how their suspension solutions work as FIA have seen RB and Mercs suspension and have not banned it

In 2018 Ferarri are gonna be getting beaten not only Merc and RedBull but also Williams and McLaren and will probably be scrapping with Renault. I want to get off Marichonne's wild ride.

>Williams
>McLaren
>ever beating Ferrari again

top kek, la

Would Seb quit mid-season if that happened?

>implying he wouldn't lose it and get Prost'd

He'd quit then convince alonslow to quit mclelren to set up their own team together

>having faith in italian ""competence""

williams are in terminal decline. They'll do well to just stay in F1

McLaren will never build a decent car again.

Ferrari will sort their shit out eventually. They'll sack the eyeties and bring in some competent engineers and directors from X dominant teams.

The real question is, is Vettel even going to stay for another year? His contract is running out in 2017.

>Implying Vettel will stay at Ferrari after 2017

Williams getting Paddy Lowe is actually probably pretty big for them desu, don't think they'll be that bad in 2018.

Vettel either somehow returns to RedBull or fucks off for a year and waits for a drive elsewhere.

I remember Webber said ages ago that Vettel will retire after Ferrari.

williams don't have the resources to give him enough to work with.

$troll

Daddy Stroll gonna give out money for his little boy. Claire has also been whoring herself out for a new sponsor for ages, Williams are one fatcheck away from being good tier again.

is all fictional motorsport about finding another gear when you're about to lose?

did $trollbucks help build this years car?
he was only announced as their driver in like november i think. williams would have already started building this years car by that point.

$throll has been doing tests using their 2014 car on various f1 tracks for the last year, so safe to say quite a bit of money has changed hands

>did $trollbucks help build this years car?
No, also not what we were talking about.

the conversation was about $trollbux helping williams doe

Less than two weeks!

is the middle square a free square?

>tfw I have almost survived the off season without killing myself

if the middle square is the free square then 'red flag' should probably be in the middle

They are both going to happen, so it doesn't matter. Also, I've never seen an actual bingo with some bullshit "free space".

>Also, I've never seen an actual bingo with some bullshit "free space".

Number of actual bingo cards Finland has seen: 0

>tfw watching a shitty periscope stream of testing

Nothing better.

stop invalidating Finnish bingo, you shitlord

>im about to put my kid to bed

Imagine being a parent and still immature enough to browse Sup Forums. What a fucking person that guy must be.

He was probably just F5'ing the catalog for pizza

Also, isn't the entire idea of bingo that everyone gets different cards so that someone actually wins...?

on /f1/ we play the little kids or retards version of every game.
Everyone's a winner!

except finbros

Some rumours regarding Sauber from Swedish F1 journos.
>Wehrlein has fractured a cervical vertebrae, not likely to take part in testing
>Sauber think their new car is really good

...

motorsport.com/f1/news/renault-has-potential-to-match-mercedes-abiteboul-873823/

"We already know for sure that it will offer the potential of performance to match Mercedes. There is absolutely no doubt about that. And maybe in the future the potential to overtake them."

If this is true, which I somewhat doubt tbqh, would RedBull most likely be the best car on the track seeing everyone is expecting Newey to put up the best aero and chassis.

You proved me wrong, bingo connoisseur.

rude

Did anyone else realize the lack of Guatemala posting in the last /f1/ threads?

ARRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Is it, dare I say it, his time?

I like to imagine that amx is ironically doing that thing that italians do with their hands and therefore mocking Ferarri somewhat slightly racially. capice.

Maybe he'll be at the front of the backmarkers this year instead of at the back of them.

Name a less iconic duo, I dare you.

Massa stood on a box for that photo

I swear f1 has the most bitter and argumentative fans out of any sport I've ever encountered.

144 days until the Best Grand Prix in the calendar

>I swear lewis hamilton has the most bitter and argumentative bestfans™ out of any sport I've ever encountered.

FTFY

If true, he may miss the season-opener too.

>Marcus gonna get some cheeky podiums
>Malja GP2 Champion
>Eriksson EU F3 Champion
>Rosenqvist wins Formula mEme
Face it, it's our year

You think amx pisses in VJ's mouth too?

Was it luck? Could everyone else pull this off?

>mfw people think it was skill, not luck

...

>tfw company i work for is doing a messaging thing today that I am mercifully not invited to

this senior dude has unironically made one of these for 'IMPACT' using business buzzwords and emailed it to everybody

youtube.com/watch?v=oyVksFviJVE

>ywn get a business degree and spend your career unawaredly spouting bs like that

"This could indicate that Ferrari was a few months behind their rivals like Mercedes and Red Bull in this technology"

I would love it, I love Sweden!

Probably working on other driver's ding dongs, hope he already proved that Hulk has a 9 incher.

>Wehrlein has fractured a cervical vertebrae

Walking away from it without visible consequences in the first place is pretty impressive tbqh

Also Kubica to Sauber announced when?
