Definitely not his time
Bit early for that mate, we don't know the air preassure and the position of Saturn yet.
...
What do drivers do in the off season?
Doesn't seem like there's a lot of time for fun.
...
Someone also needs to measure the drag coefficients of the track surface
>mfw I didn't fully read the post
Fair enough
skiing la
Has there been any updates or any confirmation he has ascended into full potato?
awful thread thumbnail
awful you
Post YFW Mercedes are 2-3 seconds ahead of everyone
nothing
WW2 all over again.
Bottas going out for a longrun on Softs
On a long run too
But they have softs on so that explains it all. R...r....right?
...
>changing the livery poll
samefag
I won't watch this year and the rest of you shouldn't either.
09:54
UK Time Vettel sets the fastest sector 2 time of the day but eases off in sector 3 so doesn't improve his lap time
WE'RE DOING IT BOYS
SURELY
...
...
Hi temploar
Serious doubt
wheres the guy collecting lap time predictions?
Has testing ever been accurate before?
It always seems like everything changes in Q3 in Australia.
Voting the best livery and ranking a single livery in point-based system is different.
I may have voted 5 for both Toro Rosso and Sauber but if I think Toror Rosso is better I vote Toro Rosso in the other poll.
Also, if I had the link to previous polls I'd have put them too
...
...
Generally you have to wait until longer stints and race sims to get an idea, usually the teams who have decent long-run pace and good reliabilty will be the pacesetters in the first few races.
But apart from that you can't read too much from testing.
CHEWED OUT
SUICIDE WATCH
>It's not good news for McLaren-Honda to be sat in the garage chasing some kind of oil system problem. The engines coming to this test should all be test-bench run and where the engine connects up to the system of the car should be bulletproof. Using the excuse that this is testing and things will go wrong is rubbish because you only have eight days and you need to hit the ground running. Losing a big part of a day is time you will never recover, and by the time the McLaren runs again, most of its rivals will have built up a lot of mileage. We've seen a lot of finger problems for McLaren and Honda during the past few years, and maybe this is the same again. Not a good start to testing.
NEVER
RECOVER
>Magnussen has stopped the Haas at the pit entry. Mechanics are rushing to retrieve him. Decent work from the Haas man to get off track and avoid a red flag, if waiting until he crossed the pit entry line before stopping was indeed deliberate.
CAN WE CROSS IT OFF?
Before I go to bed, is $tro££ riving today?
TIME ALREADY?
I thought you guys had eastern states time but you're 5 hours apart from us.
nah
>people still actually believe McLaren-Honda will be competitive in the hext few years and Alonos will havce a legit WDC shot with them
>people ever believed that McHonda would ever get their shit together to challenge for a title.
Its 11pm atm
Good I shouldn't miss him killing himself then
Is max going to look like a mongoloid forever?
35 laps for Bottas so far. Second is Vettel with 28
Wings and more wings
Not after he's disfigured in the crash
So ugly, why do they use it?
>the city of mclaren
Less wings? More?
I want her to peer into my arsehole like that
Repeat? Question?
What day do they stop running?
What time*
What is the name of that one-eyed-female driver who died some years ago?
Inter team twitter banter is painful
One eyed Villy
Cross it Offfff
Maria De Villota or something like that
A team killing two drivers in a post-Senna era, no wonder they killed themselves too
What about kMag parking his car before pits?
>Maria De Villota
Thanks it's her indeed
rip in pieces
kys
Seemed stupid, I crossed it off.
That one should count
...
daily reminder
Medicine has come a long way.
Too bad she died years later of some shitty cardiac arrest.
>Female drivers
>"Her car crashed into a stationary truck "
Bianchi was just a sequel
Better version
one eyed Villy
was very silly
she brained herself
on a trucks rear shelf
rude
Hamilton will win 5 more championships because of this
And I'm perfectly fine with this
hamilton is a great driver, it's just a shame he's such a cunt as well
Seriously self-potato yourself out of this world
>excited to watch some winter testing
>put on Sky F1
>It's Damon Hill jumping on his front wing again
I've been gone for a few hours, What have I missed
How the fuck do you survive that? Although technically she didn't survive later on, but that was unrelated to that accident
red bull explode
mercedes #1
mclelen cant even drive
ricci parked
mchonda lubrication issues
vetlel sandbagging
buttarse most productive
The reports basically say she died via her brain detaching itself.
Although the old F1 doctor gary hartstein made a ridiculous blog posting stating that she actually offed herself and they covered it up.
>ridiculous
but she did off herself
it's tough being a female pirate without a ship
>gary harstein
Doesn't ring a bell to be honest
>he was just some random doctor among a dozen on f1 races
Well now I know why.
>The reports basically say she died via her brain detaching itself

Vettel 1:22.791
The fact that Mercedes is testing a car without a fin at this point shows they really fucked up during development this cycle.
>Sky sports news showing more than Sky F1
What the fuck is wrong with these people
No he was right hand man to Sid Watkins for a while and then took over from him.
He was the guy in the medical car.
Before he got fired he was a decent figure but ever since he has tried hard to discredited and belittle his former employers. All around he is a bit of a twat.
I don't see how they wouldn't have put a fin on of they thought it would help them go faster. Especially since literally every other team has one
Who here /carnaval/
That last Bottas run… OUT; 1m23.4s; 1m23.1s; 1m23.5s; 1m24.0s; 1m23.8s; 1m24.8s; 1m24.3s; 1m24.2s; 1m24.5s; 1m24.1s; 1m24.3s; 1m24.3s; 1m24.5s; 1m24.4s; 1m24.3s; 1m24.5s; IN
Is he, dare I say it, WDC 2017?
More like /hungover after carnaval/
And Finland finally wins
I'm glad Ferrari's set a time on a seemingly heavy fuel load. Vettel's lap was fastest on mediums and he's still out there doing laps. Are we finally going to get a team battle this season instead of MWL.
Rumors have it that Mercedes will incorporate a fin on Wednesday
