Will Magnussen ever get to race in one of the autowin cars?
Hunter Hall
Eternally indeed.
Christopher Lewis
Desding dime :DDD
Nicholas Young
>F1 might go to Vietnam, a country poorer and has even less motorsports heritage than Malaysia Not fair
Evan Bell
lol no
Hunter Butler
No periscope streams?
Jeremiah Reed
If you wanted F1 in the Philippines, you shouldn't have elected a leader that supports summary executions, ya 3rd world dingus.
Nolan Green
>Le clerc
Lucas Ortiz
>was quicker than Alonso
GOAT confirmed
Dominic Anderson
You ausfailians just can't help yourselves can you. Doesn't matter the sport, you act like the older brother who never amounted to anything.
Brayden Cox
Could a team get away with a post qualifying change of driver?
Say Lewis got drunk, ill or injured in-between quali and the race. The rules say you can't change driver but could they?
>Make sure test driver is a similar weight, height and build to Lewis. Weighted shoes if needed. >Keep helmet and gloves on at all times. >Site personal problems when they miss the driver parade and go for a long comfort break to miss the anthem >Or have Lewis limp his way through these and switch him out >Team only on the radio using the little buttons for yes/no >Make sure to finish off the podium >Have press officer guilt trip the press by saying Lewis need to make a private call but will be back shortly and give time to everyone. Switch drivers out.
I feel you could just about get away with this.
Gavin Jenkins
But slower than erics son, I hope someone screencapped my post saying Markus would outscore le clerc
Easton Ross
Some day
Xavier Nguyen
Is he basically a couple of years away from riding small car le mans?
Jaxon Richardson
...
Blake Powell
He'd need some face paint around the eyes but sure.
Eli Jenkins
You know this ends with you wanking off the All Blacks whilst we laugh at how irrelevant Union is.
Adam Smith
>SON OF ERIC
Xavier Myers
I still want to see a drawer full of your panties.
David Gomez
IIRC, a driver needs to have participated in at least one "practice session" to start the race. Interestingly, qualy is officially a "practice session".
Asher Kelly
Ericsson just beached it
Oliver Perez
Wanna see my socks?
Blake Smith
Reminder to beach a car is for it to stop in the gravel and it has to be tractor cunted out. Ricciardo wasn't beached yesterday, so fix the bingo.
Dylan Green
post knickers
Jeremiah Butler
No. Be a good girl and post panty drawer.
Jeremiah Russell
I thought we'd at least start with the America's Cup and then you claiming that our skipper was an Australian first?
Nicholas Mitchell
>going this slowly >still manage to spin off
Adrian Perry
Yeah that is why I'm saying a post quali change. It's why when Valtteri "hurt his back" and missed Australia, Susie couldn't do the race to the angry shouts of idiots everywhere.
Asher Myers
reminder that new zealand's greatest ever driver needed an Australian car to win the championship.
Nolan Ramirez
He did a 54 before going off but yeah. Rip
Jayden Price
Why is he in the F1 again? Probably the slowest driver on the grid
Levi Ramirez
Waffel went faster too.
Cooper Perez
Would you also stuff your boipussy with tetra pak kroners for the chance to drive in F1, /f1/?
Justin Adams
America's Cup is more for making fun of America for having a non American crew and literally only being good due to money.
Gabriel Torres
he just tried to go into full kansei dorifto mode
Luis Diaz
Oh, I didn't read it all and thought it was a normie question. Didn't notice the memeing.
I remember reading an interview years ago with Gibson Motorsport, who used to run the factory Nissan touring cars in Australia in the late 80's / early 90's. They admitted to a lot of the cheating they did with the cars* , and also told a story about when Fred Gibson's wife couldn't qualify the Nissan Exa fast enough (iirc), they sent Mark Skaife out with her helmet right at the end of the session to do a lap. He was successful.
>*for example, on the Nissan Exa Turbo: Turn the key and the engine starts. Keep turning the key and the boost pressure increases past the allowed limit.
if there will be music inserted into the grand prixes as liberty says, I hope it will be at least localized, for example they could insert some XS Project at the Russian GP, like this youtu.be/AyDi8kI9gp0
Andrew Wood
What was the best cheat in motorsport?
Alexander Jackson
>Watching mighty car mods while shitposting with aussies on the 4chans Living the dream
Carson Peterson
Not enough tarmac run-off 0/5 t. FIA
Jack Carter
>liking MCM >"hurr hurr look at me. LOOK LOOK at me I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO funnE" t. Moog
Marty Cars Mods would be so much better.
Hunter Ross
Alan car mods more like it lad
Lincoln Baker
Didn't Lancia have a fake rollcage filled with fuel in rally at one point?
Still has Moog's shit music in it though. >made a comment that one of the songs sounded a lot like Tuna Ninja >the comment got deleted >must have rustled Moog's jimmies >but it really did sound like Tuna Ninja
Levi Price
Oh shit nigger I didn't know they had these videos. Boy do I love hearing the same 5 songs over and over over hundreds of videos.
Jonathan Kelly
some guy in nascar put a basketball in his fuel tank and several metres of extra fuel line to get around the max tank capacity. Before it was checked, he'd inflate the basketball and the tank was legal, then before racing, he'd deflate the ball and could squeeze another 2-3 laps worth of fuel in.
30%. If Renault wins, Red Bull will be on podium too. The only thing that stops RB from winning is engine. The only things that stop Renault from winning are engine and pilots.
Chase Walker
>the MAF
That's not how it works!
Nathaniel Collins
>any car that is homologated with a MAF sensor or similar has to have it connected to the inlet on the car, and plugged in.
Looks good to me!
Michael Davis
...
Kayden Lewis
Mercedes oil burning and tire pressures, somehow both cheats were even approved by the FIA
This. There have been some seriously dominant cars that after a reg change suddenly drop way back. I would say the FIA have a long lost of "don't let people do this" that weren't exactly cheats but also not allowed.
Grayson Edwards
Isle of Man TT - they worked out it was faster to change an entire fuel tank than refuel the empty one on the bike.
NASCAR - Smokey Yunick plumbing 11ft of fuel line into the car before it hit the regulation size tank - was good for 17L of fuel.
SCCA TransAm - Penske/Donohue acid dipped the shells of their Camaros before roll cage and paint, which stripped some 370lbs of metal from the shell.
Levi Robinson
Mercedes EZmodeing 3 championships by burning oil as fuel.
Aiden Reed
"Quali mode" on the engine
Kayden Martin
the best part was when ferrari started doing it and they were told they couldnt, and its only mercedes that can do it, and the media turned a blind eye.
Ian Wood
And SkyF1 going on about it as if Ferrari were being massive cheats.
Logan Edwards
>WEAKstappen still not out LITTLE DUTCH C U C K
Jason Morales
That's some top quality bait right there
Ethan Collins
I don't care if F1 comes here or not. I'm more upset that Malaysia abandoned F1, and F1 would rather go to Vietnam than beg Malaysia to reconsider.
Alexander Hill
ricciardo is a cunt
/vettel/
Matthew Sanchez
Brushing twice a day helps keep the dutch away
Jace Myers
Governing body involved cheating is the best cheating.
RBR: Hey, FIA we are blowing exhaust gases to supercharge our diffuser. Problem? FIA: Meh whatever, other teams can give it a go also Other Teams: Ehh we can't but we could if we are allowed to change our engine and chassis designs FIA: Nope they are homologated, get fucked Other Teams: Then ban it RBR: SHHHHIIEEEEETTTTT FIA: OK, lets ban it in Silverstone RBR: AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH! We only got pole and 2nd in qualifying and finished the race 2nd and 3rd!!! RRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! THIS IS NOT FAIR! WE NEED IT FOR RELIABILITY REASONS! FIA: Ok we will stop banning the EBD Other Teams: Sweet, so we are allowed to change our engine design? FIA: Nope, still homologated bitches, you can still get fucked. VWL
Zachary Jones
Frankly, I find it immature and childish to pick on people of such high class and caliber as the Dutch.
Isaiah Smith
>other teams too shit to come up with blown diffuser >this is somehow Red Bull cheating
Julian Bell
they got to you too finnbro?
Aaron Collins
>Toothpaste bullying is both shallow, and pedantic
Joshua Perez

Eli Rivera

Benjamin Rogers
are you the kiwi grill?
Parker Rivera
Australia doesn't have basements.
Justin Jones
I gotta be honest, though, my yard is only big enough for one, maybe two sheep.
Jonathan Phillips
Shitrotkin set a 1.40 in the wet when everyone else was doing 1.44’s
It took more than an hour of drying track before anybody beat it.
Raingod?
Nicholas King
Or getting.
Juan Lee
Are you taking testing times seriously
Carson Ward
How can we, when we don't even know the coefficient of friction of the track surface, let alone the air viscosity?
Hudson Edwards
The teams all payed millions of pounds to fly everything out to Catalunya to learn.... nothing.
Sebastian Mitchell
Yeah but at least they're able to factor in the sweat rate of the tyres, whereas without that, we don't know shit.
Gabriel Sanders
>Taking testing times for value
Robert Collins
Yay.....
Daniel Allen
anyone else has been following F1 over half of your life?
Adam Brown
not a big fan of this weather desu schmesu. summer when
Juan Brown
yes, and it has only gotten worse. on the upside, my life seems to have gotten better
