First for ricci wdc

2nd for Pinkhams plump bum

>McLaren-Renault only possible option for McLaren
>Drivers for the Hungary test were announced, Palmer cucked out by Renault

Here, have some good news

4th for no germans allowed in /f1/

nth for OP is a fucking Hamilton loving NIGGER

McLaren's only real option is Honda. It is so clear that they are going to stick with them. It would be such a shitshow just for them to get a Renault engine which probably won't see upgrades until 2018 and will likely never be as good as a Merc or Ferrari.

I honestly don't think Honda is quite as incompetent as they appear. Sure they've had a lot of time to improve but they are playing eternal catch up. Sure it kills the Alonso but if Honda can put together even a half-decent engine for these regulations and then start looking at the 2021 new PU, I do think they could bring out something excellent when given enough prep time as all the other manufacturers.

>you now remember Fake Lotus #2

eric boullier makes me physically sick

>Halo confirmed for 2018

It would make sense if the problem was merely performance based, if it was just a slow engine the thing would be understandable, Honda is infact at least 3 years behind the other manufacters but by now one would expect the engine to actually work, they were not out of the points by a matter of power but just because the engine couldn't finish a full race week-end and this is a big problem one can't just keep on with. A Renault engine is not on Ferrari/Merc level obv but at least is a bit more reliable and that's what McLaren needs until the new engine formula since it's clear they can't aim at winning

Does the size of his head turn you on?

Are you the same Aussie who thinks smoking makes you look cool to 12 year old girls?

Quick OP, time to make a new thread.

Last two digits are the number of points PAL gets in his F1 career

Maybe. I'm having a durry right now.

Do you like his smoker's teeth?

A good clean and some whitening treatment will fix those.

I've seen worse.

Those are as white as his teeth are going to get.

At 164.5kg now, lost some compared to last week. I don't know how my mother puts up with me. Her life would have been better without me, when she passes away my life won't have purpose anymore.

Eat less and exercise more or kysys yourself then

start smoking if you're not already

it's great as an appetite suppressant

Now that the dust has settled, digits for a honey badger win next race

>1. Sebastian Vettel 177 points

Huehuhehue whiteboi btfo

My mother is going to kill me when she finds out I smoke.

Have an ice cream on me Nick. It's no use, you'll never be healthy.

>constantly 4th or 5th for both hamilton and vettel
>both finished 7th once so far
>mfw they will both be utterly BTFO by BO77AS

well there's >when she passes away my life won't have purpose anymore.
that problem solved.

Nick I'm in Wales for my job and I just got to the hotel.

Genuinely wondering how hard you would find it to use the toilet for my room?

hamilel was one point behind BOSSBERG at this point of the season last year too

I kek'd. Have a (You)

Sup Forums is not for diet blogs
Go to

is there a fecal inspection shelf?

I've already had 2 today

I won't fit

>cold tap and separate hot tap
there is no excuse for that, stay 3rd world britshits

What circuits would you like to see return? What circuits can be scrapped?

dig out Istanbul GP and fly it to USA

It looks better.

Hot water barely works anyway here.

>Hot water barely works anyway here

Get rid of:
>COTA
>Yas Marina
>Shanghai
>Socchi
Return:
>Long Beach
>Imola
>Watkins Glen
>Nurburgring
>Estoril

Would really like to see Istanbul with those new cars, maybe Imola too but i want Monza to stay more. Just kill Sochi for all I care.

>Hot water barely works anyway here.

Confirmed 3rd world desu, plus it doesn't looks better by any mean

I wanted Magny Course back, but I can't complain that 2018 will have Paul Ricard
Also Estoril

>What circuits would you like to see return?
montjuic, watkins glen and kyalami

>What circuits can be scrapped?
silverstone so the nigger can never win there again.

I don't like Barcelona either. Or Shanghai.

I'm in a cheap hotel in bum fucking nowhere south west Wales. It tastes a millennia to heat up.

The toilet door doesn't have a lock or inside handle, the TV doesn't work and I have to lie down on the floor to just barely get a signal.

But I do have WiFi so there is that.

I want the f1 logo circuit

Bring back Buenos Aires :c

The entirety of Wales is, literally, bum fucking nowhere

With this layout

twitter.com/RacingLines/status/887679942930178049

fuck this shit

JUST

I heard this place hasn't had a cent spent on it since the last grand prix and is super run down.

it's probably in a worse state than Hermanos Rodrigues was.

Post mini fridge

Probably they'd go to Rio Hondo if Argies decide to have a GP.

Prisoners have it better off. Probably less of a chance of getting buggered in the showers in prison too

They started doing repairs and investment in the Galvez since the beginning of the year. Rio Hondo is GOAT and already hosts MotoGP. But Bernie wanted to have the circuit in Buenos Aires and not in Santiago del Estero.

Potrero de los Funes also has a goat circuit. Such a shame. If F1 came back it would probably sell out every year. People already flock from province to province to watch Turismo Carretera (longest racing competition still active)

I think we all need to just take a moment to pray for WAGlads safe return up North from Wales. Nobody deserves this fate.

beautiful ring road.

F

I can hear the gentle moans of sheep.

Plz do.

What an I having for dinner lads?

Raikkonen

Ow my neck

get the lamb shank la

Cumberland sausage should be alright. What drinks have they got on offer though?

this has been the best season of racing since _____.

Why can't f1 race at cool and interesting tracks like this?
Why does it have to be tilke dromes in the desert instead?

wgaf its a dead sport anyway

Cars already look like shit, sound like shit and MWL isn't ending anytime soon.

Ir F1 returns to Portugal, ir would be at Algarve circuit..
Estoril merda improvements.

*needs

Algarve looks like the lovechild between Montmelò and Estoril desu

I don't get it lads, Massa's crash was 8 (eight) years ago. Why suddenly bring in cockpit covers now?

Freak accidents will sadly always happen, Halo wouldn't have helped Alonso in Australia and it wouldn't have saved Jules.

It's got a pub attached so standard stuff.

>tfw had to pop into Aldi to get stuff and the till girl looked like a bit of slag but she had that God tier accent and lovely demeanor.

I get turned on by the littlest of things.

Here's an objectively correct list:

BRING BACK
>Memestanbul Park
>Brands Hatch
>Watkins Glen
>Magny Cours (inb4 le boring track lmao)
>Old Memeckenheim
>Old Osterreichring

DROP FOR SURE
>Shanghai
>Sochi
>Mexico
>Yassss Marina

PROBABLY COULD DO WITH A DROPPING
>Singapore
>Silverstone (its a good track but its just so incredibly overdone)
>Shittenheim

In a way I kind of hate the "go back to the same places every year" thing. I get it and I get how the contracts work but it would be nice for there to be more variation from season to season. Races can always be good but its hard to get excited about Catalunya or Monaco or Silverstone every year for the 1000th time when all the drivers and even semi-attentive viewers know the tracks so inside and out that they know exactly when overtakes can happen and where. I really can't even think of that many "unique" or "unusual" overtakes from the past years aside from some of the Verstappen rain moves like the one in Beckett's which might actually be the only time someone has overtaken there in modern F1.

Why not have a more rotating calendar? Have an EuroGP that goes from Imola to Magny Cours to Nurburgring etc. Have an Asian GP that rotates Malaysia, Fuji, even Shanghai would be bearable every 3-5 years. Just make the races cheaper to host. I am actually amazed that a place like Silverstone supposedly can't turn a profit from all those attendees, must have gotten turbojewed by Bernie like there's no tomorrow. Or then theyre just trying to jew more money because muh heritage on a track that's less than a decade old.

>car flips up side down and catches on fire
>Whoops, I guess canopies weren't such a brilliant idea after all

>Halo would have complicated things for Alonso in Australia

FTFY

>WEC fucked because P1 is too expensive
>F1 fucked because FIA's half-assed safety measures

WE INYDYCAR & IMSA NOW

>Get rid of Shanghai

You serious, my dudes?

While I don't want halo or Shields (if you want it go all out and make them closed cockpit) that argument is pretty much non existent.

It doesn't happen in LMP1 and with a proper safety crew the response time would be short enough to deal with fires.

That should be the first thing F1 changes. Get a dedicated safety crew that goes to every race. Stop relying on meme local marshals for places like Baku.

>Brands Hatch
Why? Zero overtaking lol because that track is for go-karts, not safe enough (see below) can't even use the full layout because people who moved into houses next to the track fully aware they were moving into a house next to a motor racing venue complain about the noise
>Watkins Glen
Why? Track would be butchered and ruined completely a la Silverstone, Hockenheim and Österreichring if they wanted to make it safe enough
>Magny Cours
le boring track lmao
Why? Dozens of times worse than Silverstone, nobody wants to go to the track because it's 100km from civilisation, it has stupid, unnecessary chicanes that spread out the field far too much, that final chicane is atrocious and the pit straight is flanked on either side by 200m of asphalt so the racing line isn't even on the track at all (why don't they fucking put some kerbs on there to discourage that shit????)

Great Britain is honestly bordering on third world tier when it comes to housing.

I never thought much of Finnish houses and build quality, but the more I travel and the more I hear stories, houses are fucking terrible everywhere outside from Northern Europe. So many English houses would straight up be condemned and closed off here because of all the mold and water damage.

A Finnish friend I know is living in Australia and he has to sleep in full sweatpants and sweatshirt at night in the ""winter"" because the houses are so poorly insulated. I wear shorts indoors at home regardless of time of year because the temperature indoors is always the same, give or take 3-4 celcius.

this

beautiful scenery, but you feel like you travel 20 years back in time in terms of infrastructure.

depends where you live honestly. the closer you get to london, the better everything generally is. (disregarding the shit parts of london, but they are slowly being gentrified as well)

AVUS

>tfw was gonna say that this is just a hotel and my house is better but then I remembered we pulled up the carpet in the hall because of soaked in cat piss in the ancient carpet

Brands Hatch because its a fun track and it would atleast be a sort of outlier in the sort of tracks F1 goes to. Maybe this isn't the best thing in real life entertainment-wise but I just really want to see a modern f1 car take those corners.

Watkins Glen in it's current layout. The current layout could easily be maintained if FIA didn't go crazy on the safety. Just put non-metal guardrails like they have on all tracks now and MAYBE put some FIA approved tarmac runoff. And even then, you could simply move the barriers further away from the track. Granted I doubt WG has anywhere close to the sort of funds to make this happen or to upgrade the facilites to a Grade 1, but a man can dream. The track in itself is fantastic to say the least. Location is nowhere near optimal though. especially now that Formula E had their New York spectacle and whatnot, normal people aren't going to want to travel that far.

do u fug ur cat?

HALO CONFIRMED FOR 2018

RIP F1

>Sources say nine out of 10 teams voted against the Halo, but the FIA said it would become part of the regulations for 2018 on safety grounds.

We need to kill FIA.

M8 for WG at the very least the chicane would have to change to be more bus stop like.

First corner would also probably get extended so it produced more of a cut back. Actually maybe the opposite and they put the first corners from Mexico there.

How often does lmp1 cars flip over tho?
The exposed wheels and low down noses do have a tendency to flip cars over during contact, so that kind of accident would probably be more common in f1.

FIA OUT
FIA OUT
FIA OUT
FIA OUT
FIA OUT

They said that last year as well.

Same as F1 due to navigating GT traffic. Admittedly AF Corse hasn't claimed any LMP1 cars for a while

if one of those 9 is ferrari there's still hope

also FUCK MERCEDES FOR INVENTING THAT THING REEEEEEEEE

the only thing the halo protects driver from is flying wheels.

when was the last time you saw a wheel go flying in an F1 crash anyway? there's at least 6 tethers attaching wheel to car

Mercedes are just the FIA's go to for any development stuff. The FIA pay them for it.

They were originally developing airbags for F1 cars before the HANS device. The FIA then tasked then with making it smaller and able to fit an F1 cockpit.

What if they make the halo transparent like Shield?

No! Children need heterosexual parents.

>Go eat dinner
>Come back
>Halo is alive, F1 is kill

Shit

I'mpretty sure a wheel detached this year, maybe Baku but it wasn't the race

Any guesses on who the 1/10 is?
