It should clearly be McSposed because McExposed sounds bad

Trying to bring the baseline closer to F1.

Feel free to post the flag of Lombardy if you want.
Also it turns out Daniel Ricciardo is from Lincolnshire, which side of the War of muh Roses were his ancestors on?

Aussie from last thread. I made those Hartley has a big dock posts unless some one else did too. The joke was always that Riccy(all Aussies) has a small pecker and Hartley(all kiwis) has a big one so I can see how this stayed on your mind so long.

can anyone good at photoshop make a f1 version of this?

Are teams required to run a highmount air intake or is it that much better than intakes in the sidepod that nobody wants to do it?

Do teams not have both sidepod and the highmount intakes? Highmount is good because it avoids dutty air from the wheels and wings, but is probably a bit more draggy. I dont think it's mandated but I think its the sound thing to do.

5.14.1 With the exception of incidental leakage through joints or cooling ducts in the inlet system
(either into or out of the system), all air entering the engine must enter the bodywork through
a maximum of two inlets which are located:
a) Between the front of the cockpit entry template and a point 500mm forward of the rear
wheel centre line longitudinally.
b) No less than 200mm above the reference plane vertically.
c) On vertical cross-sections parallel to C-C.
Furthermore, any such inlets must be visible in their entirety when viewed from the front of
the car without the driver seated in the car and with the secondary roll structure and
associated fairing removed (see Article 15.2.6).

Good thing you linked the thread since I wouldn't have found it otherwise. I have all leafs filtered you see, improves the Sup Forums experience immensely.

Sirgay Shitrotkin BOTTOM OF TIME SHEET AGAIN.

This seems to imply you can use sidepod or highmount. Am I correct or retarded.

MARCUS WON'T BE LAST

Sounds a little overbearing. I presume you browse Sup Forums and dislike ice hockey.

You know that's not true.

he's fat

He's american what do you expect?

...

I believe that's correct. There is no minimum airbox size, but you need a roll hoop so why not make that drag do something.
Same as with the side pods but you need the side impact protection which sticks put and until recently you wanted that to do something for you too.

Thoughts?

Whatever happened to that one lad who lost his face when the roll cage failed & nearly Senna'd himself?

Absolute meme that shouldn't exist. However faster than the new "super" "utes" despite shit cornering and jumps.
Watches it live and commented on it here during the weekend.

Suzuki vs Boullier, when ?

Nice. I have just started at a new place and because of the three month trial period when you can get fired for nothing I need to be prompt and show I care. My usual day at my last place involved at least a 30 min nap at my desk every day and about 3 hours productive work while also finishing a couple of days ahead of schedule for every job.

sure, you all are laughing now, but I will GUARANTEE there will be a podium for Alonso some time this season

Predict the pecking order for Melbourne.

Genuinely, how does he do it?

What's your damage, boy?

Show us the contract you made with Satan that guarantees this.

the twist is, it'll be an lmp1 podium, in a rain-shortened race where most fail to finish

even then he'll be third

Yeah, Toro Rosso is much better with the gimped Honda.

Good news for all of you I will be raked by acutal work next week and will be posting at 1/8th capacity.

Haas are a bit of Wild Card, I could see them being up to four places higher than I have them here (a two place jump being most likely). Also, this is assuming McLaren actually get their shit together in the next three weeks.

Its filmed better than f1 tbhdesufamalan

the blue doesn't work. should have gone full papaya

>Bottas beats Hamilton
>still not WDC

>STR-Honda over Williams
>Williams now backmarker-tier
they finished comfortably ahead of Renault last year, who everyone seems to think will make a big jump this year for some reason, so why are they suddenly at the back of the grid? Same question about for Force India, though not as drastic, but that everyone seems to have tipped for a down year.

>buying into the Toro Rosso-Honda meme
why is /f1/ so stupid?

Pls point to the testing results that suggest STR are dog-shit.

Both fast in testing and a very high top speed.

Well, a lot of you wankers seem to be buying into the McLaren Renault meme

>buh-buh guish, honda was the problem! that means it'll go fasht!

Has O'Shilly found a US proxy or does he have a 1/32nd Irish cousin?

I don't really think that more than 2 people here actually believes in McRen

Williams have a driver problem. That's all the car seems fine.
STR seems decent. Not great but decent.

i believe in Nando

he doesn't look too happy

Renault had awful reliability and Jolyon Palmer for most of the year. They were also in a bit of a rebuilding phase last year. Williams this year should face much tougher competition, despite Lowe and De Beer working on the car. Stroll is hit and miss, and Sirotkin seems quick, but is still a rookie. Force India are a bit behind on car development, as they had to build a new chasis to accomodate the halo.

>take away Lances meme podium and he is 14th in the driver standings
>double his results for his rookie Team mate
Williams on track for a massive ~50 point haul total on the driver standings. Which puts them in 7-8th. McLaren are moving up which bounces them down more.
Haas continue to improve bouncing them down again. Williams, Sauber, STR bottom 3 seems about right. Haas, Renault, McLaren, FI midfield seems about right. Same old top 3 seem about right..

>Merc

POWER GAP

norris

The biggest issue for Williams is that there's no one to set up the car. Sirotkin is a rookie and I doubt Stroll has no clue either how to do it.

>muh Kubica and experience
If they let him drive every FP1, which ain't gonna happen.

The irony: they might actually have a decent car this year

>Massa on Stroll
>it was like when I was mentored by Michael Schumacher

>Stroll on Massa
>I never got any guidance at all, I won't miss him

Who do we trust more?

But Nat still wants him apparently

Based on rumors from sportscar scene:
>Massa offered his help
>Lance: "Fuck off hue, I'll do it myself"

>ricciardo fastest
>again
my "my time" alarms are so fucking loud right now lads

Paging wheelchair lad.

Morning tea was pretty good lads. Had 4 pastries and a cup of coffee.
Was reading about the new Ruf Porsche and it sounds really cool.
