Samurai.
Many drivers lose their youth-driven high risk high reward driving after a few years in the sport. Kinda early to make that call for Max. But at the moment, sure. Guy's an overtaking MACHINE sometimes.

A one-off green Ferrari for Kimi would be an amazing marketing stunt
Yeah, you don;t really know whether its just balls the size of space hoppers or youthful gusto until they've been at it a bit longer. Seen plenty of kids rock up and pull some nice moves but it turns out they just crash a lot.
And I'm not talking about having the balls to make a daring overtake. I'm talking about slamming the door on all comers knowing full well they'll jump out the way before you will.
RIP Brazil http://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/interlagos-f1-race-in-danger-of-being-axed-for-2017-782102/
Though it's understandable that Brazil has bigger issues to deal with than racing.

They should axe the olympic games instead.
Edit: Thought I'd share this random F1 2015 shot
It's not the first, nor the second time Bernie comes with this kind of crap. When asked about this subject, Tamas Rohonyi (the man responsible for the organization of the race in Brazil) said: "I'm puzzled because there's no legal conditions for breaking the contracts, the promotional, with our company and the TV transmissions with Globo. God only knows why he addressed in Montreal this issue about 2017's calendar. Maybe he had nothing else to talk about. Ignore it."

Any Bill Burr fans here? Turns out he's into F1 now...

He starts ranting about Red Bull and Verstappen from 25:28 until about 28:15.

Watching the 2006 F1 Review, got the Monaco qualifying where Schumi parks his car in the corner to create a yellow flag and fuck Alonso out of pole. Afterwards they show interviews with drivers and Webber goes: "We know he's got a lot of tricks, but whether this one today was real we will probably only find out when he's 70 when he's had a glas of red in him."
Awwww. Now I'm sad.

It will be quite warm in Baku, even around 33 degrees Celsius
Pirelli is concerned that high speeds, high temps and temporary tarmac could lead to tyre failures
Mercedes is planning engine and major aero upgrade for the British GP - that will be the last major aero upgrade and after then is full resource move to 2017

I'm highly expecting Kvyat and/or some Saubers to become an obstacle around the castle
Maybe Max too but he's probably more careful after his Monaco weekend
Love the guy, but he's just gettin' worked up over less than nothing.
I mean, he knows Nascar. It's not like the Mc Donald's car has an engine built by Mc Donald's. Should not be so hard for him to understand. Lots of other stuff to make fun of.
You mean Kimi.

Fair play, DC is still in good shape.

Let's just hope there won't be any serious accident, because there are at least 2 sections when any wheel-to-wheel contact or simple crash with cars coming in without knowing (because it's blind and narrow) can end up very badly.

How many of them will be because of massa? he's on a roll, Monaco and Canada
Was just about to post these. F1 2016 looks great.
Baku looks more and more like a decent track, despite all the 90 degree corners (and the fact that F1 is racing there at all).
Danny predicting that someone will definitely will crash at the castle section.

Hmm... on the game at proper race speeds, that looks like a really dodgy section.
I expect multiple people. Looking at how fast they go through there and how especially the aproach seems really close to the wall at the front left, it really only takes the smallest of errors to accidentally destroy your entire left front suspension there. Doesn't even have to be a case of driver skill, even just a slightly too cold tire might be enough to get you into the wall there.
I wonder what kind of tv camera angles we'll be getting, especially at the castle section and for that ridiculously long "straight" (the last few turns barely break the speed)
A helicopter view showing the historic center with f1 cars driving around it would be great as well.
Bernie seems to be projecting his lack of interest in human rights and his own level of corruption onto the rest of the world.

nico rosbergs said that, not bernie.

It's slightly unclear but the start of the paragraph is:
So Nico said it was a ballsy circuit.
This bit is confusing as to whether it was Bernie saying it or Bernie saying what Nico said.
F1 2015 and 2016 are great looking games. I like the visual update.
Baku's tight corners look like a hell of a lot of fun to me, can't wait to try it out in game.

It's a piece about Bernie speaking on various issues and it's pretty clear it's his opinion about USA and Canada. Besides it's always Bernie shitting on something and Nico definitely doesn't use "isn't it?" in his comments.
Renault have no spare chassis for Baku after crashes in Monaco and Canada, so if one of their drivers damage it during the weekend, he won't participate any further:

Doesn't sound like something Rosbeef would say. Definitely sounds like something the poison dwarf would say.

RIC and VES going to be with RBR up until 2018: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tL2Hg4223xw
Smart move by RIC, Red Bull seems like a safe bet for the next few years.
Sainz is sitting in a corner and cursing his luck, hoping those FER rumors his management started catch on.

Aw, I guess I was secretly hoping for DR to make the move to Ferrari, but given how well the Red Bull is driving lately, I think he still has a shot for a Championship where he is.
Huh, I think I'm becoming a Riccardo fan. Cool!

Longest straight/full throttle section I can think of in modern F1.
Poor Renaults and Hondas.
I think Ferrari is the only team with actual No 1 & No 2 contracts and the former is already occupied.

I believe you are right. Selfish me was secretly hoping the Aussie would replace a certain Finn in 2017, who I didn't think would be continuing his career.
