WEC is better though.

Good thread, optimal I would say.

...

I wonder what Mansell would tweet if he saw this, lads

nth for GOATs

*th for /Team Flörsch/

...

lots of wings running air yeah

...

Christ the Streamer

Only to favela monkeys

Cheeky pint anyone?

Christ the restreamer common man

...

Only great men allowed there I hear.

Whats the tiny mustaches function?

German Sky commentators made fun of them nonstop because they look like the BMW kidneys.

Driver cooling hole.
Lets air flow through the cockpit.

You reckon his mum took it up the shitter in that very pub?

>in that very pub
>in

Nah. Probably on the picnic table outside.

They like Clark Gable

Who else would fuck Claire Williams silly?

Other lesser waifu's will never be this /cheeky/

Proper dirty bird

In a heartbeat. At length. Repeatedly.

someone did that to me in karting once and I just shoved them off the track.

Didn't even get summoned to the stewards afterwards

Of course you wouldn't, the steward was a fucking crocodile!

Emu, mate. All our supervsory positisns are emus.

No t thaat I'd know. I'm not an emu. I''m not tpying with my beak. Honest.

ngl, I actually laughed at this
>Dear ma. A fucking favela monkey actually made me laugh without even mentioning Henno or Brasil.

* solves your path

>platypus nose

Yeah, keep me updated.


I like that we entered full Formula Autismo mode with the wings again, sadly the Mercedes looks much more advanced than the Ferrari.

Called it!

>tfw Kimi has become a hipster

Feels bad man

With basically new aero all over the merc is it, dare I say it, MWL?

>so many cars with no driver names/abbreviations, and just new side numbers

Did almost all of the F1 the media fuck up their reporting on this being a requirement that badly?
Or is there a loophole?

Pre-season threads were 2 months ago, m8.

big names and numbers
license plates on f1 cars

Probably not a good idea returning for a GP location then

Do you think Senna would have been happier and a lot warmer if he had moved to CART like Mansell?

93 McLaren MP 4/8 and 93 Penske PC22(possibly the 92 PC21 model, not positive Senna was allowed to test the new 93)
Which do you like better?

>mfw I've tagged that cute bitch my friend wanted to fuck before he got to her

CART should have ruled the world in terms of motorsport if not for mis-management. You had all the best cards in your hand and still pissed it all away lads

Bernie Ecclestone made the call to Tony George that saved F1.

In seriousness, I don't think CART would have overtaken F1 in popularity regardless of whether the IRL happened, but Bernie was apparently worried with CART's rapid expansion into foreign markets. Rightfully so, he's a business man.

Oh yeah for sure Bernie was a knob to anyone & anything that stood between him and some dosh. If CART had some sort of separate oval & proper circuit series at international locations I think we would see F1 really, really struggle for viewers more so than it did during schumi wins lol era.

Also you now remember our white elephant to appease CART

Senna would've Renna'd an Indycar

>What they say is and is probably the reason why people don't talk about is that his body supposedly disintegrated on impact. Apparently pieces of his body were found around the area, I would believe them since they say that if that would had happened on TV or in front of a crowd it would had been the end of the IRL.

Nah he'd be fine.
Motorsport is full of freak accidents, things happen and I think by now most everyone has read them all.
No need to tread there.
I remember that race weekend being a bit of a rained out disaster.
If finances were no object and it made sense, do you think Indycar could return there one day or are those bridges burners?

Why would you do this, gimi. Just take a normal photo and apply some filter later

make sure to get the mercedes on your fantasygp team lads

The major issue with oval racing over here is even in a hot summer there is a bloody good chance it'll get rained off. It got use as motorcycle, touring cars, GTs & lower-tier open wheel racing but think mostly used for conference and track day events now. Was a shot of making serious cash from CART getting big & the bubble burst is all. Doubt we'll ever see Indycar go there as probably would need fair bit of work. Still not the worst thing that was attempted over here. Remember the Donington British GP? It spent fucking years looking like a building site with no direction

>not already having both the merc and the ferrari

...

>Renna
Was there any actual photos released from that at all? One guy who used to know who said lived/worked nearby said crash cleared parts of the grandstands or what was left of it

yeah I just managed to get them both after some tricky stuff
>tfw changes from now on cost 10pts each

tbf the Tilke layout wasn't a bad redesign, it had great elevation change in the new infield section but if only for the hot, faecal mess that was his change to Coppice I'm glad it didn't happen

It looks gay

Renna's crash is probably Indianapolis' greatest kept secret. Don't think anything will ever come out.

That crash on race day would have probably eclipsed the Le Mans disaster.

Would have preferred if he dug up the craners and old hairpin and relaid them with even more elevation.

That would be pretty great, as long as they stayed the same vertically.

The absolute worst thing about the botched redesign, though, was that they fucking took down the Dunlop Bridge and the planning permission rules prevented them from putting it back up. So they sold it to Chris Evans.

Argies BTFO

>tfw Chris Evans ruins everything

>tfw Steve Jones does a Jake Humphrey and fucks off from F1 so Channel 4 put Chris on their live coverage

2012 Mercedes has called, they want their nose back.

holy fugg new top gear season 24 is aired on bbc wtf seems no on talk about it.

I'd love to cheer for such a car and see it win, but not after three years of MWL and the stupid faces of Wolff and Lauda in every other camera

hello gib WCC already

Mate don't even joke Chris Evans being part of any F1 coverage. Still would have liked BT Sports to make a rival attempt to Sky when BBC decided to be proper shits & drop their half-season coverage. Tbh BBC would have done well to keep all F1 races & drop shit like Dr Who. Keep shows like Pointless though.

We will never see BT Sports F1 coverage that would be a mess of tech issues in first year with the likes of Michael Owen in the Ted role aimlessly stumbling around the paddock area during the race

BBC Top Gear & The Grand Tour both kind of gone really quiet after the initial first week hype. Didn't even bother watching either

>when BBC decided to be proper shits & drop their half-season coverage

I dont buy that, Bernie could have easily blocked but didn't

It was a secret deal between Bernie and sky with bbc taking the blame for it

If the new owners want to keep this sport alive they need to bring it back fully to free to air, pay tv is dead and f1 will die with it if its allowed to go full pay per view in 2019

Even with Ferrari showing up this year and making it a bit more exciting im already bored with it

The criticism of both was very valid and I don't blame anyone for not watching either

Top gear was having teething problems trying to figure out what to do with their main draw gone and the grand tour was trying to figure out what they wanted to do with their own show while keeping amazon happy

Give both another year or 2 and they both could be great shows in their own right

increase overtaking 100%

Can already see Ted pointing at this photo with the end of his pen and talking vague nonsense about "working the vortices harder"

Over the air is expensive though because everyone is vying for that spot and networks like to have their in-house shows fill air-time.

Giorgio Piola explaining mere mortals without a super computer the new Mercede's aerodynamic solution

what kind of man would live in a city so blurry?

Saturday morning you can still add vettel on podium

It's the 2014 Caterham without the bag of rice

Fernando will be keeping his 2017 Indycar after the 500.
Apparently that's a contractual stipulation that he has required since 2004.

>getting into the brothel now, keep me updated

LAS MALVINAS

*blocks your overtake*

Combined two different watermarked versions, then photoshopped out what was left.

Is it just me or does anyone else think this is how he looked coming out of the vagina?, hat included

I like watermarked pictures tho

>being so edgy you can't even say thanks

Sad.

Watermarked pictures underscore the focus on low quality material on the chan and makes me feel at home. Nice work tho
