How many times will Magnussen crash next season? I'm going for 6.
What a lifetime achievement. I am in tears.
My favorite one might be the one in Valencia 2012 where he kicked out Lewis.
Maldonado leaving is probably a good thing for F1. I was always hoping he'd show the potential he clearly had again but I think he gave up when he realised what a dog the 2013 Williams was and never recovered. Plus even by F1 standards he had a hell of an ego.
Be interesting to see how Magnussen gets on, he was a bit of a rough diamond last time he was in F1.

Räikkönen for a year and then Verstappen.

WTF Pastor is not even getting a shot at Baku City? When it's just around the corner?
That's fucking it, not watching F1 this year.

Would be hilarious if Wax Free was like an admin or whatever on there.

I am sure that Pastor can get one of the eight contracts that Sauber has to offer.

He can pilot the tub during the crash tests.
I would imagine hovering is the first step towards F0.
McLaren spotted at Barcelona:
I'm not convinced that's going to pass scrutineering.

Why isn''t McLaren Honda using Honda badged trucks?
As trucks goes, Mercedes is very popular at teams in all categories.
I don't think that Honda makes such trucks.

Then what are they even doing in F1, they can't even make heavy duty transport trucks.
Makes sense. The grill makes me expect it to turn into Megatron.
Yeah - given that the reason Maldonado left was because PDVSA got into a dispute with Renault over payments (and there was a similar issue at Williams), I doubt that they'll be keen to try it again.
McLaren wants their equipment to make it to the track.

But they don't want their equipment to make it around the track?

They will improve performance by using the Car inside a Truck loophole. Someone oughta tighten up those regs.

Pastor, please go to Formula E or Nascar. PLEASE. Don't touch WEC.
In other news, reliability still seems an issue with the Honda PU.

Oh wow, I havent even thought about Maldonado going to Formula E. What a great idea and it would ultimately prove that Formula E is better than Formula 1.
Indycar is already more dangerous than F1.
Seeing as the season is nearing it's start, what's an internet service one could actually pay money for in return for a 60 FPS stream (maybe even multicam) of each race of the season, without too much of a hassle? I though I read there being an Indian service that basically broadcast all Sky's stuff, but how does anyone have any experience using it? Via VPN or otherwise?
Also, if one has to resort to using a VPN to access such services, what's a recommended service for that? I imagine paid services are the top choice, but I'm sure those have some differences, too.

I'm pretty sure PDVSA is currently in a similar financial situation as Sauber... so really they could get him only for his talent and track experience.

That won't stop Monisha from signing him, though. ;-)
Not sure if this was posted here... Ted Kravitz posted a few pics of the streets from the upcoming Baku Circuit. Even Monaco feels wide compared to this

Wait... They want to put F1 cars on a cobble road? Even if it does not rain, Pastor "Siege Weapon" Maldonado is gonna make a hole in that castle wall.

They will cover it with asphalt (which will ruin the looks of this old part of town but who cares).
Shame.

...lacks reading comprehension.
Verstappen says the new Toro Rosso is about .8 to 1 second a lap faster than last years car. If those results translate on the track, Sainz and him are gonna have a fun season this year. No way the other teams (bar maybe McLaren if they get their shit in order) make a jump like that with the minimal changes this season.
Why are the people of Azerbaijan all driving backwards? Seems dangerous.
Looks like a nice city, but I don't really see it as the place for interesting races. But I thought the same about Sochi and last race there was great!

That Ferrari (2015) power.
That scene from Lord of the Rings: Two Towers, where the Orc blows up the wall with a bomb, but with Maldonado in a car instead of the Orc...

Now that's a GIF you should work on.
Wehrlein is the the front runner for a Manor seat now that Magnussen is out of the picture.
I hope he gets it since he's a good DTM driver and it would interesting to see how well that translates into F1.
New Renault teaser.

Lets hope he does better than Di Resta (anyone remember him?).
Also disappointed that the Renault isn't all yellow.
Yeah, di Resta was DTM champion before making the jump to F1. He's been back in DTM, except with less success.

Renault with black livery? Bah.. Yellow or bust.

It has a good bit of yellow if it's like the shot that was shown a few weeks ago or do.
