First for give me more new cars

Repeating digits for a white and yellow Renault

>>Bottas gaining psychosexual advantage

FTFY

Great thread, italybro is based!

>starting the thread with your autistic edit

>not being able to tell the difference between an Australian flag, and an Italian flag

What an absolute utter fucking moron you are

samefag

damn sauber nailed it, sexy as fuck

You do realise that people samefag to support their opinions, not to call themselves a moron?

Are you new here?

samefag

I kinda like the C29/C30

Here you can find a new sauber/old sauber comparison slider. Looks like they rebuilt from scratch.

good post

Let's do some strawpolls for all the liveries as they come out. See which one /f1/ likes best.

Great idea! I just voted

How awkward is it for a team if someone mentions to them that they have a lack of sponsors?

so it would fit in your little tight boipucci

samefag

enough shitposting from me

what is with the big gap in the white? it looks retarded, like every single Netherlands and Canadian citizen

>big gap

they probably don't care as long as they have enough swedebucks

That one fag that is an marketing expert and explained last season why liveries like the Renault-one wasn't pleasing and functional enough. If you're still here, I want your opinion on the Sauber.

my boipucci hangs like sleeve of wizard, thank you very much

Representing Monisha's way of getting sponsors.

>enough shitposting from me
>australia
come on now

...

Who else has this advantage over there teammates?

>there teammates

whats that yellow stuff infront of the girl on the left

Doritos

Sorry Netherlands.

I know it must be difficult given that the bully must be taking any girl Max dates.

Ricciardo is someone who has advantage over dey're teammates as he obviously fucks victoria-jane in her tight little vagina

Can someone do a photoshop of Bottas' eyes glowing
Filename: sisu is increasing.

At least the livery is a step up from last year but it is still fairly atrocious, what the fuck is up with the white bits?

The color scheme itself is fine but they somehow have managed to fuck it up hard.

Also that shark fin going above the rear wing looks fucking retarded. And all cars are going to have that lol. I also have to say I am kind of underwhelmed at how similar these cars look to last year. It's like a 2016 car with Toro Rosso tier packaging, bigger tires and a lower and retardedly angled rear wing and a shitty shark fin

Stop complaining little bitch

I wonder how so many foreigners even learned about Sisu, because its not like Finnish people ever actually refer to it or consider it a "thing". Its basically just perseverance and you persevere by shutting up and just keep doing what you're doing until you reach the goal, it's not like Finnish people talk about how they're going to really activate their sisu genes to get this job done or anything

its literally a meme

I don't care how the cars look, so long as Mercedes gets pressured by RB and Pirelli's wet tyres actually work as they should.

>It's literally a meme

So it's perfect for this Vietnamese image board.

They wont and they wont

sorry m8

I know ;_;

Also, Sauber's unpainted shark fin looks stupid tbqh.

Shark fin is is going to look horrible, I agree. But all in all, this is a big step up from last year. I know it's winter and that makes us all a bit grumpy, but the skies are getting brighter every day and we have a week of new cars to look forward to.
>Toro Rosso tier packaging
I thought that was a good thing.

Pretty sure he means Dawkins definition of meme

gpupdate.net/en/f1-news/349593/horner-renault-has-had-a-big-winter/

That's the opposite of our bingo

Fuck sauber

They should have at least done this

I have ayy gooda feelinga bout ehhh la ferrari thissa year

t. definitely not arrivabene

Say one nice thing about this man

He changed the face of the game

So what's our thoughts on the kind of clit/penis/chode nose? I don't think it looks too bad 2bh.
And what about the shark fin? I like it.

he likes china

That airbox looks weird.

>Posting from your ISP, IP range, or country has been blocked due to abuse.
endless cycle of reconnecting to get an address from a different ip range

He made Kimi WDC

...

the nose cone looks a bit too thin, other than that by now i'm used to the penis nose, the shark fin looks good so far

>that tiny malbuner pocket sandwich logo

considering how few sponsors sauber have, malbuner must be giving them hardly anything to get such minor billing?

so, I wonder if monisha would let an /f1/ logo on the car?

>a blurred house

let's get that group funding going

Be like that one team in the early nineties that was so poor they were letting people sign the car for $10 each before pre qualifying.

Didn't that planet earth painted thing have micro printing of all the people who donated money? I can't really recall. I Wasn't /f1/ back then

Quiz tiem

Without looking, fill the blank:

>F1 2017
2000 mm wide
405 mm Pirelli rear tire width
V6 1500cc
105 litre fuel tank
728 kg

>F1 1991
2200 mm wide
470 mm Goodyear/Pirelli rear tire width
V12 3500cc
230 litre fuel tank
(___) kg

If that means shit like

>Binland loses again
>Vetlel
>Alonslow

...etc. plastered all over the car then I'm in for sure.

>winglets on the floor
>winglets on the turning vanes
>winglets on the air box
>funny intakes below the air box intake on the side of the inbox

The top teams might looks crazy with a bunch of winglets again!

Thanks binbro. It will be put to good use when Hamilton gets btfo.

150kg?

500 kg or something like that

550 kg

we'd probably need to set up some kind of corporate entity to do this come to think of it

505kg

Looks like the rear wing hip (?) Curves up the wing

autosport.com/news/report.php/id/128177/daniel-ricciardo-announces-he-is-homosexual

I knew it. Good on him on coming out, though

the rear wing endplate, m80?

I thought that was Ferrari's kludge for the mule car but apparently the regs specify a different width for the bottom and top of the rear wing. the manor and williams also feature the kink.

I was trying to think of what the kink was being called. Yes I think they are required interesting to see one that curves up the wing end plate from the looks of things

>user gets tricked tw(...)

'no'.

Also, that Finnish lad who hates Williams should love them. Claire did the right thing in not letting him go to Ferrari - I hope he realises that.

>tfw too intelligent to get tricked twice

If Rosberg wasn't retiring she almost certainly killed his career with any other team.

Can't remember.

Not necessarily. Dogecoin is the obvious precedent for doing something like this, remember when their subreddit got a full car livery for Talladega a couple years ago? I wonder how much it would cost with F1 though. One of the main issues with /f1/ trying to do anything is that we're actually a relatively small community here compared to Reddit. Everyone would have to contribute a lot more money and no one would be able agree on what logo or slogan to put on the car since we aren't an echo chamber. I wonder how much a pepe on top of the mirrors would cost for one race, probably $600k-$700k since it's visible in orboard footage.

What is this?

Well kind of. Bottas not getting a Ferrari drive in 2016 gave Gimi at least two more years of career in F1 even though everyone said he should have retired after 2015, and now he isn't even that far off from Vettel

If the unprecedented and actually impossible to predict Rosberg retirement hadn't happened, i.e. if Rosberg didn't win the championship, Bottas would have stayed and wasted the rest of his career at Williams, or until the moment they drop him for another up and coming promising paydriver. He got astoundingly lucky to get the Merc seat right as his career hype had been beginning to die down and his destiny was seeming to be the eternal midfilelder.

Claire/Williams also fought hard to get as much money out of Mercedes as possible to let Bottas go. I think if it had been a less unusual situation with more potential candidates, this sort of stuff would have killed the potential deal. I guess Bottas mostly just has the fact that Wehrlein wasn't that impressive (and that he now has a broken neck lol) to thank for his seat. There are reports and rumors of Mercedes giving Williams a season's worth of free engines, along with paying Massa's salary just so they could get Bottas. It's not wrong for Williams to not want to let their better driver go, and it is their right to try and jew as much money out of letting him go as possible, but doing that already killed the chances of Bottas getting the Ferrari drive (essentially just asked for too much money). I'm glad it worked out in the end though.

I've said this before, but compare it to Force India. Hey Fisi you wanna drive Ferrari? Go ahead. Hulkenberg wants to do Le Mans, fuck it let him. Hulkenberg wants to join Renault even though he has a contract with us? We won't hold him back etc etc

What makes you think we haven't planned this?

Bud, isn't 17 legal in most of Europe?

M8, 17 yo in arab states is like milf, they will never arrest him

Blame Top Gear.

James 'Honorary Finn' May included it in his interview with Mkikak Haikekenenk.

So nobody also finds this retarded? 200+kg heavier

I find it retarded that my starlet now weighs less with fuel in than an F1 car. Alas, it seems to be the price payed for """"safety"""". 620kg would have been fine.

i think there needs to be an age difference of 2 years max when the youngest is 16 or 17

Rear Rain light

...

Safety?
In 2008 the cars weighted 605kg, including driver.

How much safer did we get from there?

Exactly my point. Obviously a hybrid PU is gonna weigh more than a 2.4L n/a v8, purely on number of components, but I think they're overdoing the weight increases.

Current PU's minimum weight is 145kg and 1990 V12/10 were 150 or 160 kg

Of course everyone finds it retarded. It's a massive factor as to why F1 is so shitty nowadays. If the weight of the cars was anywhere close to e.g. even 2013 the cars would be several seconds faster than any other era of F1.

The weight issue has been the same since 2014 so I dunno why you're so surprised right now. The cars even visibly LOOK heavy compared to any other era in the past 2-3 decades.

I'm pretty sure that doesn't account for the batteries/energy storage system. I'm not a tech autist but the only thing that actually adds more weight compared to previous cars is the energy recovery system and the batteries it requires.

checked and agreed.
