>Alonso got 2 points on the superlicense for blue flags stuff
fucking bullshit, why?

/who/

...

How did Nico do on Sky TV today?

Should've got another one too in Sepang

He was good for sure

Only thing I saw was the really awkward bit on Ted's notebook yesterday but that was just horrible

Leclerc to Sauber is kinda a waste, no ?
A full season where the goal is to go in Q2 and nothing more for someone with his talent is not good.

Sauber might improve a bit if they have a Ferrari driver there. I'm sure they will get better engine support at least

Ferrari will give Sauber the Haas treatment i guess, also they'll have the same engine spec as Ferrari next year.

a season driving F1 cars to get you up to speed isn't a waste, he's only 19

Ferrari is gonna help Sauber a lot, plus an F1 seat is better than no seat. He won't be staying at Sauber for lomg anyway

Sauber might have a better car with an actual CURRENT YEAR engine

Excellent. Good insights and overall funny guy.

>learning tracks in f1 car is a waste for a racing driver that aims at f1
>battling another ferrari junior that aims at ferrari seat is a waste
Its his best opportunity.

>Indycar
>publicity
Pick one

Dale sr and Jeff Gordon

how new are you? most drivers, good or bad, start in backmarkers or mid-pack teams

Does Toro Rosso have dual seaters? Because I don't think NASCAR fattys would fit in a normal cockpit

Montoya and Gordon would be neat.
Montoya is going to be there anyway, just widen the car to fit him.

> just widen the car to fit him
there might be a small problem with the safety test

Getting put straight into the Ferrari and getting creamed by Vettel wouldn't do his confidence nor his development much good.

With Sauber he can learn the tracks, points finishes will be a bonus rather than the expectation, and he'll get paired with a young team-mate to mature alongside.

Are you referring to altered car or Montoyas wildcard reputation?
Get Montoya in there to exact revenge on tractor cunts, put them back in place.

drivers who must go
RAI
MAS
GRO
ERI
KVY
STR

because he did it before too and it's pretty pathetic trying to influence battles of cars lapping you

>look at me mum I'm ahead of Lewis, I'm not a failure and a lew down I swear

Didn't wake in time to see the race. I waited all day and didn't spoil myself the race results. Watching replay of the race atm. Turn 8. I waited for this shit? At least Nico feels us.

i refer to montoyas fat ass, he barely fit into lmp2 through normal door yesterday

best thing to happen was christian telling sky lewis is a moaning cunt and to pay him no mind

Stroll has more potential than I expected him to have desu. I'd give him a couple more years.

The rest, agreed. And I'd add Hulk to that list.

>told you guys I wasn't the shortest person in the paddock

>potential

He's just privileged to have a dad who bought him an F1 car and track time and a simulator. Hes better prepared then other young drivers but his potential is shit

>wehlein 2 laps behind everyone else
what did he mean by this

Though it's a bit rich coming from Horner after his incessant bitching about Renault for anything that might ever go wrong with a red bull.

Hes just not good

sauber is worse than manor used to be

he's just pretending to be shit, WEH WDC 2018

>anyone in F1 accusing anyone else in F1 of being a moaning cunt

lol

F1 is the "it's okay when we do it" sport.

He has not the same potential as Ocon, Leclerc and Vandoorne but this year he delivered nice performance. I'm pretty sure if he had done GP3/F2 even just for one year he would have been more consistent than he has been but you can't say he's just a paydriver Ericcson level

sure but it was amusing to see horner shut down sky's team like that.

>three stopping while everyone else one stops

did anyone ever find out why this happened? the broadcast never mentioned a puncture or front wing damage

v-vettee can s-still win!

>all this Leclerc dicksucking

at least you guys quit with the Gio the Nazi dicksucking. who are you guys going to drop Leclerc for next year?

I've heard that Britta (Vettel's assistant) had a bit of a breakdown or something like that in the press spot, after vettee refused to show up to the press, and reporters were a bit rough on her.

Anyone have clips of that? curious to see what actually transpired.

Puncture on the first lap then they decided to clear out the mandatory compound and go back on the softs and hope for a SC

Did Honda Ninjas kill FI security?

Well didn't he pit on like lap 1 and 2? That's why it became a 3 stop

Why would any one want him to win?

Will Buxton said it didn't happen, at least not in the press area the tweets said it did.

rip

Vijay probably owes some Yakuza money, and they took out this security guard to send a message

a pack of wild tractor cunts

So MWL/HWL is kill

check em

>swl is better

I really don't understand if /f1/ is full of newfags or just short memory fags

>after vettee refused to show up to the press
can you stop spreading this lie already?

imagine lewlew meltdown if he managed to lose hip at this point, it sure will beat your average NIGGER spam

>Vettel did interviews behind the Ferrari garage, not in the pen (no rule against that)
>a bunch of media didn't know and missed it
>the media who missed it later abused Britta about it until she broke down in tears

Then Buxton excused the media's behaviour, conveniently didn't mention that they drove her to tear, and then blamed Ferrari.

>The majority who stayed in pen as per agreement were upset and told Seb’s PR representative so. This was done in a calm but firm manner.
>The fault was not hers and she was placed in the difficult position of the team having organised something counter to agreement.

Literally a redneck beating up his wife then saying "look what you made me do" tier excuse.

>>The majority who stayed in pen as per agreement were upset and told Seb’s PR representative so. This was done in a calm but firm manner.
>>The fault was not hers and she was placed in the difficult position of the team having organised something counter to agreement.

Quoting Buxton there btw.

You're the newfag since it's VWL not SWL. It was boring as fuck to see Vettel dominate in 2011 and 2013, yes. But reminder that 2010 and 2012 had good championship battles yet MWL has pretty much been the case for 3-4 consecutive years.

And the fact that Vettee is in a Ferrari makes him /ourguy/

Why is Steve Jones such a cancerous cunt?

Honestly a press person like her brought to tears sounds a little bit unbelievable.

So was he the offending party? Dutch reporter saw it happen, just heard him, they didn't show any footage.

calm your dick, i'm not trying to 'spread' anything, nor am I saying he never showed. Just some context I got out of second hand sources.

Certainly not from the media being merely "calm but firm"...

The last I saw of Buxton he denied anything happened at all and posted jokey pictures with Britta, is this new stuff?

>best showing vs any teammate in F1 this years
>belongs to the list
What did he mean by this?

Button said Hammy's strength is he can fight a bad car.

>carbaby shit posters BTFO

According to Buxton nothing happened, but there is a pic of Buxton with Britta "making up", a pic of the Dutch media guy (who Britta was reportedly crying on his shoulder) pretending to fight with Buxton, then Buxton posted a long damage control on Twitter excusing "the media" of any blame and blaming Ferrari.

Pretty easy to put two and two together and see who was (one of) the abuser(s) whose abuse drove her to tears.

Interesting. Renegade Buxton has nothing to lose now, he could become the paddock bully and provide great memes

>beating up of Palmer

almost everyone on the current grid (except Son of Eric) could do that

>Vettel did interviews behind the Ferrari garage, not in the pen (no rule against that)
>a bunch of media didn't know and missed it
All the press have a gentlemen's agreement both amongst themselves and with the teams that all driver interviews during/after the race/session take place in the media pen, because behind the garages is cramped amongst tyres and team personnel trying to barge through the media (instances of Ferrari crew knocking over a pregnant reporter and Williams garage fire in 2012)
Ferrari broke that agreement and only told two or three broadcasters
Journalists asked Britta why Ferrari broke the agreement, she didn't know because she wasn't informed of the decision, dunno what happened from then on

So what was wrong with VET's engine?

Magnussen struggled against him last season

Well he didn't show up to the press in the usual place, only gave interviews behind the Ferrari garage.

kek

>the location of a post race interview is the most exciting thing to come out of the race weekend
F1 really outdid itself this time

I heard it was Ziggo but Jack Plooij denies it and says he only comforted her, and also said that he'd tell the story on the Friday "F1 cafe" thing

...

what

> he delivered nice performance
He lost to a 90 year old guy with a spring stuck in his brain. He has no potential, he showed no performance.

>All the press have a gentlemen's agreement both amongst themselves and with the teams that all driver interviews during/after the race/session take place in the media pen

Italian TV always interview them in the middle of the paddock/rear box/when drivers are going to the pen desu

i'd like to be "calm and firm" to her if you catch my innuendo there

who here looking forward to Sainz cucking Hulk at Renault in the next 4 races?

I got the impression that's allowed, just so long as it's only to-from the pen and not hanging around a garage

>The brit that lives in Italy and posts here is called Cypher

I really hoped his name was Nigel

i hope he EXPOSES hulk into early retirement desu

>inb4 sainz gets a cheeky podium

>All the press have a gentlemen's agreement

Haha thats actually me so the (you) there alarmed me.

I'll be back on an Italian flag dont worry.

I want to be deeply firm with her

Button is also a shitter who is rubbish and his word means nothing.

I'm just paraphrasing from Buxton's account since Aus missed out some details

Also it was British media who sperged out and went off at Britta about Seb that caused her to cry twitter.com/theycallmetara/status/916909891553546241

>/ourguy/
Don't get carried away here. He's just evil used to occupy evil while we wait for a hero.

You must be terrified of a hard brexit? Do you have a home to go back to?

>she cried because someone in the media talked shit about seb

Wrong person champ? I'm not the faggot defending hamilturd.

German and Austrian TV-teams knew about it and were there.
Maybe the divine Brits may have to reconsider their work-ethics.

>hates british drivers

You obviously aren't British, I assumed Pole at first but they assimilate pretty well so I'm think gypsy?

Missed you lad, your posts are outshined by all the other brit flags saying the same stuff
