>Alonso's Indy test is already the 5th most watched video on the IndyCar youtube channel Would an IndyCar driver coming to F1 create as much buzz as well?

Helping our Spaniard.
> 1. 20 cars line up on the grid on the Sunday of a race weekend at the start of the race in an order determined on the Saturday by timing laps.
> 2. The cars are powered by a V6 turbo engine supplemented by energy scavenged from heat, exhaust gasses and braking.
> 3. Races are usually approximately 90 minutes long.
> 4. Cars must complete at least one "mandatory pit stop". This involves a change of tyres and a quick top up of wiper fluid. Such stops are usually completed in less than 3.5 seconds and can involve a couple of dozen mechanics.
> 5. There are two championships competed for each year - one for the World Drivers' Championship and one for the World Coaches' Championship - known as the WDC and WCC. The driver is obviously the driver of the individual car; the coach is the engineer you hear on the radio speaking to the driver and has an important role too.
> 6. Last year's WDC Nico Rossberg retired immediately after winning, citing family reasons. He made a vast sum from sponsorship and salary, but he's also independently wealthy due to being an heir to an iced confection corporation's founder. Fun fact- Kimi Raikkonen, one of the Ferrari drivers, owns shares in the same company.
> 7. The favourite of Spanish fans is Fernando Alonso, a 2x WDC and who is commonly regarded as one of the top three drivers on the grid. He's also a fan favourite more broadly because of coming back from injury sustained on a bloody golf course of all things, during the off season some years ago. He still complains in accented English now that the back strain ruined his game that day, that the injury "carked his par".
> 8. You'll also want to know about Carlos Sainz Jr. His father is a former F1 driver and was somewhat obsessed with seeing his son in the sport, even to the detriment of their home life. His father and mother are separated after Sainz Sr struck her; Sainz's sister is a popular vlogger.

Hamilton is the first openly black and gay driver Amx Verstappen is the youngest ever WDC Schumacher was the first ever champion Alonso is too old and frequently overdrives, causing the car to break. He is going to try NASCAR this year. Felipe Massa doesn't like gay people.
Joseph Lewis
> 9. Strategy is more important in Formula One than in many racing series, because the cars can be difficult to pass in corners and there are several factors that will determine how fast a car is at differing times during a race. A popular and effective strategic move is the 'undercut', where teams will decide a car is slow because it's creating too much downforce - which then creates drag. So they will remove the lower plane of the rear wing in a pitstop, "undercutting" it, and allowing the car to go faster on straights but at the cost of some corner speed.
> 10. The most successful driver is Michael Schumacher, a seven-time WDC. He is sadly stricken with brain injuries from a skiing accident.
> 11. A controversial addition to F1 this year is "Fanboost", borrowed from the FIA's Formula E championship. An online poll is held to determine "Driver of the Day" at the end of a race, and that driver gets an additional 30hp to use for up to six seconds at any point in the next race. It is obviously not awarded at the final race of the year.
> 12. Formula 1 is a constructors championship - ie, the teams design and construct their own cars - though they may buy engines from a supplier.
> 13. Lewis Hamilton is regarded as the most gentlemanly driver, and is known for his coolness and calmness on track. He often describes what is happening with the car - or other cars around him - in corners, to his driving coach.
> 14. Hamilton's (and Rossberg's former) team, Mercedes, has been quite dominant the last few years, to the delight of most fans. They are also - as well as obviously being a carmaker - keenly involved in charity and will usually host elderly fans in their garage.
> 15. Max Verstappen is the first openly gay Formula 1 driver/race winner - and a champion of same-sex marriage - as well as no doubt a future champion.

I still wanna cum inside his sister.

Lucas Powell
Depends on what team, also would have to be someone good that has never raced in F1 before.
Rossi coming back to F1 or something would be like Sauber announcing Nasr was returning to F1, the reception would be lukewarm at best.
Jack Powell
Well, they can't test so not really.
It depends on how many of those 600k people were F1 autistic who wanted to see him "just park the car" or actual indy fans
Andrew Anderson
A bunch were undoubtedly F1 fans, I watched the video and have never once had much of a modicum of interest for indycar until now.
And after this I'll go back to being aware of it's existence but not really at all interested.
Hunter Clark
I want them both to do bad things to my peepee. But I'd choose Chloe because I can also get the money when father dies
Alexander Long
>11 >McLaren gets to use fanboost >the Honda engine intermediately explodes >people keep voting for Alonso and Vandoorne to troll them out of F1

Nice lips.
Aiden Phillips
Thanks a lot, based user. This is really informative.
Wyatt Jones
Jesus that's diabolical.

>20 cars line up Usually a mchonda breaks down before starting.
Is sainz jr's sister vj-tier?

If le saddest spanish man wins the Indy 500 then sure Indycar irrevocably btfo forever right.
Jayden Davis
will alonso do it lads?
Joshua Taylor
Alonso retires from the lead due to an engine failure.
Jose Ross
He'll either win it or be in spectacular life ending crash
Nolan Torres
Is an eternal win/win for us.
If we win we have the right to shit on Indycar forever If he lose we have the right to shit on Alonso even more
Jace Johnson

That's when they quickly remove their helmet during a pitstop for a haircut mate, get your facts straight.
Jason Johnson
> 16. Some drivers are what's known as "carbabbies". This moniker applies to a driver who has been notoriously dominant in one type of car, or one team, so called because they drive the car so spectacularly well that it's almost as if they were born in it—a "car baby", if you will.

made a little poll about Jonathan Palmer's wife's three sons
he turned cold after a couple of nasty breakups right? ;_; he was so happy ;_;

>Perhaps it's the first time when you take your girl to go out evening to tents it was to learn there with the car?
What did he mean by this?
Gavin Johnson
learn to fuck in the backseat of a car
in a tent

Those things are great. My grandad had one that attached to his Torana's hatch

(Cross-thread) >His father and mother are separated after Sainz Sr struck her Didn't know that. But doesn't surprise me.
In his defense his car broke 300 meters from finish line of the last rally that he needed to finish 4th to be the champion. Literally gave Makinen and Mitsubishi the championship on gold plate. Yes it's a Toyota.
Chase Davis
Heh, I didn't read the sister part. Well meme'd. But it really didn't surprise me. Both Verstappen and Sainz are kind of obsessed with their sons and were never good at controlling their anger. I thought the meme would stop after F1 driver.
Grayson Adams
how do we meme her on a Ferrari F1 car in the next 8 years?
Aiden Stewart
>female >asian
I don't think all the memeing in the world can overcome those driving disabilities.
you must have faith, but now that I think about this you might be right this video in not available...why
Kevin Peterson
Must be geoblocked, which is interesting since this is about asians and not wogs.

Concurrent viewers was 70-80k roughly at peak, everybody that has 'watched' by whatever definitions FB or YT use is over 2mil. Still insane for any motorsport standards.
Camden Cook
>Ferrari better on downforce dominated sectors.
Are they going to finish 1-2 in Spain and Monaco?
Bentley Roberts
>Monaco it'll be decided by the order that goes into the first corner on lap 1
Luke Miller
For reference, IndyCar uploads every race on YouTube after broadcast and they get ~50k views (Indy 500 gets ~100k)
Zachary Cook
Nah, it will be decided by backmarkers blocking people before and after the pitstop. Some madman might pit with 2 laps left if traffic behind is that bad.
Brandon Bennett
how can you like this guy
Grayson Evans
He is less autistic than Finns and is less deformed than his teammate.
Hudson Rodriguez
because you know he's doomed from the start
like a webber, before he got beaten into a pulp
Gavin Jenkins
Her daddy drove three F1 GP's as pay driver on Larousse, didn't finish one of those.
Cameron Phillips
because he's a top bloke
and not a Luke Hodge type of good bloke either
James Gutierrez
He is too unautistic and he looks retarded as well.
Chase Perry

>He is too unautistic No such thing, it is like the left-right horseshoe, you end up in the same place at both extremes. >he looks retarded He is a wog.

Lucas James
I saw Daniel at a grocery store in Budapest 2 years agoa few days before the race. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” But then he couldn't contain his laughter and said "No worries, mate, just kidding" and we had a bit of a chat. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands. The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, I hope you'll enjoy each one of them.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back and bought 10 more.
the end
