1st for ricci

>Mercedes are sandbagging this testing btw

Kimi at Ferrari

Senna at Williams

gave him a WDC winning car in 2007 and told Massa to not attack him in Brazil
hired him in for 2014 and paid him millions for years despite having an abyssmal 2014 and bad 2015

How many elements do you expect will be added for monaco

>implying this isn't karma for race fixing, team boss blackmailing, team morale destroying, team mate screwing over, and carbabbying to two world championships

Several cheese graters and razors.

Sabotage him in 2008 in favour of team mate, still losing WDC

Yeah man Kimi binning it in Spa was team sabotage but Massa's engine blowing with 3 lps to go in Hungary and leaving his fuel hose attached in Singapore wasn't.

>Raikkonen fans

Massa was basically quicker in 2007 already, even outqualified him that season.

>Of the top three teams, the Red Bull is the most basic car. There's nothing trick on there and its all smooth surfaces

Newey EXPOSED

Unless... RedBull are seeing what the car can do without the miniguns, flares and rocket lauchers before putting them on.

Lets be real, Kimi should have been winning championships in that Newey McLaren with DC as teammate, not at Ferrari with Hobbit Barichello.

>Honda on today's problems: "We lost power to the power unit. At the moment we don't know what has caused the issue. We are currently changing the power unit in order to investigate fully and identify the cause. We will update you when we have further information."

LMAO CAN THEY DO ANYTHING RIGHT

Newey is just overrated.

I dunno, RBR front wing is different from last year and other teams this year. Front wing elements towards the center flare up, instead of flare down.
Probably a bunch of other minor differences this years car.

Kimi at Ferrari seconded

When will mclaren drop honda?

goddamn I want to stick my Ron Pennis in that front wing zozzle hole

from the front the sidepods look bulky and round compared to many of the others

Aren't Japs the smartest people in the world? Why are they always shit in F1?

It's like watching the evolution of razor blades

>it's going to be even worse than 2015

The fin doesn't even have the bull's tail painted on it, so that part is not final at all.

obligatory

JUST

Massa at Ferrari

It really seems like RBR is just going for low drag on regular circuits and I hope they have the full Newey package for Monaco etc.

Badoer at Ferrari

...

Are those things supposed to simulate rain or slipstream or what's the purpose of them?

Aren't they just sensors.

on the notebook Newey said they were going for understanding the basic package first, then adding the necessary bits and pieces for the second test and Melbourne

are these guys just racing to get the fastest time

An array of pitot tubes to measure pressure and speed of air behind the tyre, which is difficult to simulate with computer programs.

busy jacking off to anime porn all day

Are Merc the only ones doing it?

Force India ded

le penis nose meme team

Red flag because of torpedo and Ocon

>Red flag, and both Ocon and Kvyat haven't made it back to the pits...

thanks didn't know that

It's Ocon. Kvyat's in the pits.

...

;_;

press f to pay respect

;_;

no, they are going around in circles making sure the car they have built works, not faults and see where it needs to be improved before the Grand Prix's. It's just testing, but we can also speculate from it.

No, other teams do it, even in FP sessions in the season when they bring new parts

F

Who would have been Manor's drivers if they still would be there? King and Haryanto?

>2017 cars in slowmo are still faster than Formula E cars in a straight line

Maybe we should forget everything and just cum in karts

>Haryanto
Haryanto wants to race in F1 but his mom won't let him

>tatiana at sauber

...

Personally, if anything, I think the cars look worse than last year because of the fucking shark fins. But hey, at least no halo yet. That will be another slap in the face.

DED

>why do I have to talk to this asshole

Halo is rip Nick, you really let yourself off during the off season

I wouldn't count out RBR yet. Remember 2014 when they were barely be able to roll out from the garage during testing and they were the second best team in Melbourne.

Louise Cook (female rally driver) on Sky Sports News

Princess and someone with bucks, maybe the KFC guy

thanks :)

>A picture if one of the greatest minds to ever grace f1 and Adrian Newey

Lads, last sammer when I was working at a hotel a British guest said that he had a friend working for RBR at Milton Keynes and he told him they were doing something big for 2017's car

Newey lied to you

quads

SAD!

...

Worrying scenes at McLaren HQ

People only resort to this when they're TERRIFIED of being EXPOSED

How much of that blood is the track marshalls?

>SO AS YOU CAN SEE, THIS CLEVER NEW RED BULL NOSE SUCKS IN THE BOUNDARY LAYER LIKE CARMEN JORDA SUCKS IN PENISES

Very low energy attempt at quads post. Sad!

What kind of team developes the car in a blurred center?

Somebody post the webm of the marshall getting hit.

Is there a close up pic of what was left of the marshall?

Is the Mexican Grand Prix of 2016 the patrician pick for best race of last season?

>A-user, my co-driver didn't show up and I need someone to fill in for him, do you think you can help me? It'll be very hard but I think you're big enough for the job

Well Pryce was turned into a Pez dispenser by the fire extinguisher hit. Then again not seen photos of the fire lad, from video footage he pretty much disintegrates. So fair bit of both reckon

>Halo is rip Nick

What, they dropped it?
When?
I have not heard of this.

>ywn be a racing driver with a woman driver as your teammate
>ywn have her seduce you to gain psychological advantage

>I have not heard of this.

Yeah because you died of cardiac arrest remember Nic?

...

What will McLaren then use if the drop Honda. Crawl back to Merc, take a safe bet and run Renaults or go mental and ask Ferrari for a Motor

Lunch time, "bantz" incoming

They'll build their own engine.

>hihg
FTFY lrn2meme boy

>M-my sponsors pulled out at the last moment, now I don't have enough money to pay the entry fee. If I can't secure some funding today I'll have to s-sell my trophies again. Please user, I'll do anything!

>formulapassion.it/2017/02/f1-piloti-votano-halo-esordio-rimandato/

>formulapassion.it/2017/02/f1-fia-ancora-alla-ricerca-alternative-ad-halo/

It's italian but they say drivers voted against it in 2018 and FIA is still looking for other solutions, so basically kill

McLaren either dies a Hero with GP2 engine, or lives long enough to see itself become a Villain with a real engine

Ya blew it Nigel

If McLaren-Ferrari happens we'll see Ron doing Seppuku at Woking

they'll switch to Audi in 2020 heard it here first

*Sponsors her but supplies racesuits two sizes too small*

What will the drivers be having for lunch?

Get in the passenger seat bitch and try not too much noise. I'm winning this stage.

Or he will shoot the MTC up and tell Nando not to come there because he alright

>Ron kamikazes Woking in his black and red McLaren F1 destroying everyone, especially Zak Brown in his underground orange bond villain parliment
