What does Red Bull cola taste like?
Most cola's we get here taste like variations on Pepsi, but we don't get RBCola
Julian Murphy

Connor Jackson
>and the will to live of all F1 autist toothpastes
He doesn't know Verschoor
David Moore
I always forget there's at least one of you that fanboys Vettel
Landon Sanchez
Monster is the worst, Irn Bru is actually ok
Not sure what to think honestly
Mason Lopez
Forza Ferrari Schumi Nostalgiani m8
Owen Gonzalez
can you mix RB cola with bundy/any other dark rum and still be drinkable?
I always thought it tasted exactly like a cola ice pole but we havnt had it here for like 10 years mate?
Joseph Cooper

Kevin Barnes
>Australian cheering Ricciardo = completely fine, carn Danny I never said this
You should probably see a psychologist, because it's pretty clear that you have some serious issues that cause you to project your emotions onto others.
And it results in classism, which is probably a hate crime now.
Caleb Robinson
but it tastes better than both those drinks
irn bru is disgusting
Alexander Price
>"Mercedes is done for the day (and therefore this test). The team has "found something in the data" it didn't like, so it's on-track work is complete."
It was just an electrical issue guys, h-honest.

Lincoln Fisher
I was more talking about the constant shitposting you do, posting the vid and to top it off screencapping the vid, saving it, upload it for the sake of a non-discussion.
I find it sad, that's all. no worries mate.
Alexander Collins
good, I was pissed how much larger his odds were than memestappen's
not surprising considering how good the car's looking
vettel will win in dramatic fashion in the last race and schumi will rise like a phoenix
Gavin Campbell
Dubdubs confirm this
Brody Cruz
do you even understand what it means to be australian and carry the australian flag on this general?
Lincoln Martinez
I do, I just wanted to comment on it. made him shut up for at least 10 minutes whilst he is contemplating an 'epic' reply, I win.
Owen Phillips
fuck off you cunt.
If I wasn't at work I would have posted it.

>Lance Stroll has a year of private access to a specifically built simulator that not even the 2016 Williams drivers are allowed to use >Lance Stroll has literally the most varied, expensive and extensive testing programme for his F1 debut, driving on various circuits around the world with a full crew of engineers and mechanics traveling with him >Lance Stroll has the most pre-season mileage (even before actual pre-season testing) since Jacques Villeneuve >crashes so hard that it destroys the car and has already cost Williams almost 2 full days of testing >it is unknown if Williams will have a new chassis ready for Barcelona Test 2
>Giothenazi drives a F1 car for the first time in Fiorano like a month ago >literally no F1 experience prior to that aside from some Ferrari meme simulator day and some other sim work >has literally no money to buy extravagant personal aids >Giothenazi jumps into a team he doesn't know as a last-minute replacement for testing >sets good times >drives hundreds?(at least more than 100) of laps despite some technical issues >spins like once without any major incident >DOESNT CRASH THE CAR >DOESNT PERMANENTLY DESTROY A CHASSIS
hmm really made me think
Not that Gio is the only one, Ocon did the same, Verstappen did the same, Vandoorne scored points and drove extremely well with no preparation on like a 48hr warning in a shitbox. Stroll is probably so embarrassed at this point that it is just going to end up in a negative feedback loop and he's going to go full beta crashmaster. Maldonado crashed a lot because he overdrove not because of insecurity just because he was a fucking madman, Stroll crashes and is going to continue to crash because he is undoubtedly not ready and probably simply not of F1 caliber. Pretty sure his dad wants him to be an F1 driver more than he does.
Henry Russell
what's the bingo update lads?
Isaiah Campbell
>implying McLaren will complete a race distance in Melbourne
Asher Ortiz
we've got bingo it's over
Xavier Sullivan
i think everyone knew that Stroll is just a shitty pay-driver
too bad Williams are now in the position where they need a pay-driver
Jose Martin
Winter Stream is back up for those with extremely good taste.
Jeremiah Long
The thing about him is that he has had a good junior career aside from some very questionable moves on occasion.
I wouldn't necessarily even rate him in the "shitty paydriver" column, because he has some sort of talent. Unless his performances were 100% the result of Premawinslol and bux to get better parts than others, which is likely a factor, but still.
I don't get what the rush is with him. Not every 18 year old is a Verstappen and that's such a ridiculous standard to hold others anyway. If Stroll did the normal thing of doing a year of F 3.5, then GP2 until he wins it, then maybe some LMP or Super Formula in between, he would a) be much more prepared b) more mature c) had made all his mistakes in front of smaller crowds and learned from them.
I guess rich people are just impatient and want things to happen when they want them to.
I wonder how his private tests went? Has there been any word on how those went and if he crashed a lot there? You would think he would have gotten the hang of it by now. I do think F3 into 2017 F1 is a massive step, but Stroll has spent most of the winter break driving 2014 Williams, which is simply not a bad car and not that drastically off the 2017 F1, so his jump in speed is more or less the same as everyone else.
aka he is a fucking hack but probably could have been more passable had he progressed his career like a normal person. Perez has the personal backing of someone who is like 100x richer than Stroll's dad and could buy F1 and it wouldn't even be a big deal, yet he wasn't brought in from some shitty feeder series straight to F1, he did GP2 and whatnot and then got a Sauber drive.

Caleb Wilson
I really liked it, it actually tastes like cola unlike everything else calling itself cola.
Its not an energy drink really its just cola
James Sanchez
>First F1 test is over, more to the point each driver has just 2 days testing left until Melbourne FP1
Stroll and the Mclelren boys will struggle bigly.
Kayden Murphy
Are the first cars not classified counted as last? In that case they will be behind $tro££ and his target who crash out before turn 1
Kevin Evans
Question.
>red bull >tag heuer engine
The fuck? Google tells me they make watches. So they call it that but what is the engine really? Renault?
Christopher Williams
Straight from Google because you are retarded enough to not Google this >"The new partnership, which represents a shift away from F1's conventional supply systems, will see TAG Heuer take up naming rights of the team's power unit, which will be supplied by Renault. The new car will be christened the Red Bull Racing-TAG Heuer RB12." said Red Bull in a statement.
Benjamin Gutierrez
yeah is usually mixed with Jaeger over here so would work i reckon
Isaac Russell
So do they run the same engine the renault team is using or engine from a previous year/something else?
Christian Watson
it's a Renault engine with the TAG Heuer badge on it because Red Bull wanted to find a new engine manufacturer before 2016 but were blocked by Mercedes and Ferrari, and had too much pride to admit defeat
Levi Johnson
the Internal Combustion Engine is Renault's 2017 engine but the electric sided (Heat Energy Recovery and Kinetic Energy Recovery systems) are made by Red Bull, and Tag Heuer pay naming rights to say they make the parts, even though Red Bull did
Nicholas Smith
same exact engine as Renault. The gap between the RB12 and the Renault in 2016 shows you how bad the Renault chassis was
Gabriel Walker
Nice, thanks.
Jaxson Robinson
Gimi faster than "Rainman AMD" Verstappen
Isaac Wilson

>big nick >has he lost weight yet?
Aiden Jackson
Who is the best driver and why is it Lewis Carl Davidson Hamilton, MBE?
Oliver Hall
>118 laps without touching the brakes once
Ratemain is truly ascending to new levels
Tyler Flores
TAG group do mechanical stuff (apparently turbos and jets) and some Porsche engines in McLaren were badged as TAG in the 80's. TAG Heuer badged engines are referencing the 80's engines, I presume. They won 2 WCCs and 3 WDCs, with Prost and Lauda between 84-86.
TAG group bought Heuer in '85, and renamed it as TAG Heuer. In '99 Heuer was almost complete sold to someone else, and the new owners didn't remove the TAG part. But TAG group is still seperate, and actually owns most of McLaren.
Xavier Howard
He's blessed
Jordan Lopez
he said he lost a few pounds but most of it was probably water weight
Dylan Bailey
AMX put out the fastest time on inters.
Those top 2 times are on softs
Nolan Wood
Tag is a holding company that owns shares in smaller companies, mostly in aerospace
Nathan Russell
reminder that based Antonio doesn't put up with any of $₮₹₪£₺'s shit
Gavin Collins
this isn't correct. Red Bull haven't made their own ERS since 2013
Jace Hill
Thx bruh, you're doing god's work. Will tune in later tonight.
Liam Collins
maybe when you sum the distance covered by both cars
At some point, I actually went up to 173kg. Then after a little diet got back to 170kg again which is currently where I'm at.
I started a new, more hardcore diet yesterday. 1500 calories a day. Considering I need around 3700 calories a day to maintain my weight, this should be fast. This is only day 2 of the diet, so obviously no results yet, I can't do miracles. Will post results in a week. I'm telling you though, I feel good. Positive. I'm really gonna do it. Haven't felt this way in years.
