Gimi win tomorrow

Friendly reminder that Bottas will choke the race in the first corner and finish 5 seconds behind Hamilton in a boring progression of a race.

This is a diverse thread

LEKEKED

the hell happened!

>the absolute City of Leclerc

message from race control - sorry we forgot lel

...

Did he have a problem or is playing the "team game" and letting Fuoco get some more points

He wants to help his teammate what's hard to understand?!

It's Schumi and Barrichello etc

...

>Fuoco 10 seconds slower with +25 sec
>ahead of Lec with +15 sex

>Lecuck
Ayyyy lmao

Tbh lads, Giovinazzi's junior record isn't that great. Leclerc is going to batter him (or Ericsson) next year.

LeCucked badly, still GOAT

...

Good race lads, top tier meme ending too

Slightly confused

I don't know, this thing with tyre management is a bit worrying, he also lost badly at the previous race by destroying the rubber

HELP I CAN'T FEEL MY FINGERS

It's difficult to follow kino when the connection is so shit

I like it hot too.

Kinda sad that it's basically the end of Markelov's career, just one race and it's off doing, in the very best case scenario, WEC until SMP fucks off from it having spent all money, or just racing in random series in Russia.

esport now for three hours

Well that cut off randomly.

>arms, ankles and hair not covered
Please Bahrain, cancel this horrendous event in the name of Islam, so we get better circuits.

which team desu?

>Stroll has like 2 private tests at the Abu Dhabi circuit
>essentially endless laps on the track, testing out setups, understanding the track, tire wear etc
>worst performance of the year in an already abysmal season
>get annihilated by more than one second by a driver who passed his expiry date like 5-6 years ago and hasn't been top form in almost a decade

I really hope that this sets something of a reminder and incentive that even though a rich kid (billionaire rich) wins every junior formula, it means fuck all because they have such an unfair advantage. I really hope Lance Stroll continues his career in F1 for many more years, just to become solidified as the synonym of a paydriver. Sure he is a rookie but so is Vandoorne who was only a few tenths off ALONSO (refer to Alonso vs. Massa to understand the difference between the two). Plus when you're 20 races in to your F1 career you aren't exactly a fresh faced rookie anymore either. His performance is honestly just demonstrative of his legitimate skill overall as a driver. Let's not forget that Brazil wasn't much better overall either, neither was USA.

I can't really think of a worse debut season in F1, especially at such a "high" level (i.e. not in a backmarker) in a long time. Sure he got a podium, but Felipe would have maybe won that race if he hadn't gotten an engine failure. And yea Stroll got a front row start which you can't take away from him, but it's not exactly like Felipe is known as a wet weather specialist (see: Silverstone 2008 or any rain race in general).

Too cold to creep on the cheerleaders

Carlisle Vs Morecambe

Supporting Morecambe

I'm genuinely surprised that Carlisle even has cheerleaders

They were from university of Cumbria.

We occasionally get the Lancaster university cheerleaders

Keeps the slags off the street corners for a while

>I can't really think of a worse debut season in F1
>And yea Stroll got a front row start
Those two don't add up. And he is average.

Also IIRC VanDarkholme even beat Alonso a few times.

Junior careers can be indicative but in no way determining of F1 success.

Hulkenberg won EVERYTHING prior to F1 and he's.. alright. Perez has a pretty average junior record, and as teammates, with similar amounts of F1 experienced, they were probably the most closely matched teammates on the grid.

Kobayashi was pretty shit pre-F1 but was entertaining as fuck in F1, so. Stroll has a great junior record (boosted by money) and he is probably the worst driver on the grid.

The fact that Giovinazzi did what he did in GP2 in his first season against the "basically confirmed champion" Gasly is very impressive and I don't think Ferrari will forget that. He rose up to the challenge, actually had a great car for once and ended up taking the championship all the way to the end. Still quite bitter he didn't win it but still a great effort. Plus his wheel to wheel skills in that season were some of the best in the history of GP2 IMO, and the 2016 season had so many classic races.

Leclerc's performance is accentuated by the fact that he has a terrible teammate and Prema is arguably even stronger than last year.

...

...

So the fact that he got 1 good result on merit negates all the other terrible results? Heikki Kovalainen got a win in 2008 too, but that doesn't make him a great legendary driver.

My theory about Stroll's front row is that Monza suits Williams and Mercedes power unit anyway and Stroll was set up with more downforce than the more experienced drivers which made it easier to corner in the wet. Anyway it is still a good result but it is such a massive outlier in his record so far that it can't be taken as a clear demonstration of his skill.

Remember that this is in the context of Massa who has beaten a teammate like twice in his entire 2 decade career and was annihilated by Valtteri "Rubens Barrichello" Bottas both in quali and points in 2016

Got a non-ace Stream? Most of mine seem dead

Nice to see him try new things after doing all those albums with Metallica desu. Good for him

In this feminazi age, British universities still have cheerleaders :o

Haven't seen anything F1 related since Nigger won. Did I miss anything?

Is Brendon Leigh OUR GUY?

Team game.

>My theory about Stroll's front row is that Monza suits Williams and Mercedes power unit anyway
It does. But so does for rest of the Mercedes drivers like Bottas. And the other top drivers were Red Bull, Renault engine. So that's not really valid for wet weather.
It was luck, sure. But you are conflicting with yourself. Also he's only 18, not everyone is Max tier talented out of the box. Give him a few years and he will be average. He will never be Ericson tier bad that's for sure.

While I agree with everything, it does feel like Hulk is, if not underappreciated, just plain unlucky. He's good enough to be a worthy rival to anyone in the top teams, but he just wasn't able to score a factory deal until it was too late and irrelevant and is also suffering from a worse variation of Heidfeld's curse.

At this rate his career in F1's effectively going to end in a very unremarkable way, unless a miracle happens with Renault, as the top teams have too many drivers in their own programs to pick from.

Bottas slowly getting better but still can't get the job done

He is mine yes

tfw Honda has a qualifying mode but Renault does not

...

Big mistake to not blur that out

I hate this WTF1 cunt

>Davide and Jack commenting eSports

Goddammit I love them both but I don't care about cybersports at all...

Why is Johnny Herbert a pundit when he's probably never played vidya in his life?

Is it a first time they are touched bya girl?

Seems like a lot of FE crew is working on this.

>F1 esports finals

Rilly make u think

Brandon did not like to be touched btw, totally my guy.

>people not realizing Leclerc did it on purpose so Fuoco could pass DeVries on standings

Where do they import their grid girls from?

>Leigh on P15

Haven't you seen Taken?

Not that I'm complaining of course.

I don't watch films.

who is /ourguy/ and why is it daniil?

Is Joni Tormola any good lads?

>Turk moving to Germany
lel

>Turk moving to Germany

Watching this only for the commentators, dammit. I don't like any of the drivers who look even more nerdy than me - and that's not an easy achievement.

Don't like how they try to make it sound so dramatic with the music and all.

>HE TRY TO USE DE LIPSTREAM

#Stillirise

An Anglo who can pronounce Törmälä? Nicholls is very good

>Leigh forgets he has to pit

Stroll is what you get when you take an average guy with average talent and push him absolute limit with endless training and resources. And I'm not even sure if his work ethics are that good.

To his defence, 2017 Pirelli's are incredibly temp sensitive and difficult to master.

Mclaren on podium...

>tfw not real life

Based.

Wasn't Leigh 10th before the pit stops

He was forced into F1 too early.
