Audi are going all in in FE with Abt to become a full factory effort in 2017-2018.

With that livery? I will only ever refer to it as the 'Salad vomit car'.

What is the point of ever interviewing Bernie Ecclestone

I assume that one is for the current season, here's hoping they improve it when Doctor Ullrich takes over!

The Haas wing looks amazing when opened.

@Current_E
So Agag's claim that by season five, all 10 teams will be OEM-backed, looks pretty credible. Kudos to the main man. #FormulaE

Good times ahead for Formula E.

Ferrari doing glory runs at home again, smh.

 

[Tempy]

I just had an epiphany that we currently have 2 Nicos, 2 Estebans, and 2 Felipes.

They're running out of engine miles. Hopefully they'll have their new engine by FP2.

Remember when Toro Rosso only hired drivers named Sabastian?

 

[legbone]

Kimi says thing, people say: "what an awesome guy - I'll buy my kids a hat with his name on"
Anybody else says same thing, people say: "what a cunt"

You can pretty much get away with anything short of a racist/sexist rant when you are THAT DAMN COOL.

Williams return for Button unlikely

"If Jenson had been banging the door down, Williams would have welcomed him," a team source told The Times.

"It was a perfect fit and they would have loved to see him back. But he has taken too long making a decision and things have moved on. He seems to be hanging on for another year at McLaren," the unnamed source added.

Oh! =o

 

[DD]

Not every rival critical of Verstappen


In terms of danger, what he did in Spa was worse than what he did in Hungary, but in terms of fair play, I agree with Fernando: that thing in Hungary was worse.

Italian GP: Max Verstappen given 'gentle warning' by FIA

Max Verstappen has been given a "gentle warning" about his driving in the wake of his controversial behaviour in the Belgian Grand Prix.

FIA F1 director Charlie Whiting called in Verstappen for a discussion on Friday ahead of the Italian Grand Prix.

Red Bull team boss Christian Horner said Whiting had told Verstappen he risked disqualification.

"Charlie was keen to show him a video of Spa. It was a gentle warning," Horner said.

The meeting follows a series of aggressive defensive moves by Verstappen this season which has led to complaints form some drivers - in particular Verstappen's late move in defence against Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen at the Belgian Grand Prix.

Horner, speaking to Sky, said Verstappen had been warned he could receive a black and white flag for such behaviour in future.

The black and white flag is shown to a driver who is considered to be guilty of unsportsmanlike behaviour.

It is shown only once before a black flag meaning disqualification if the driver does not change his behaviour.

 

[Elros]

So he got a warning that he will get another warning if he continues to behave like that.

Wow much severe FIA.

 

[Aiii]

Good, now we're done with this topic.

 

[brotkasten]

Good, now we're done with this topic.

Until after Sunday, 2pm.

Oh! =o

Hanging on for a seat that won't be there.

 

[Aiii]

Hanging on for a seat that won't be there.

It had better fucking not be.

I swear to Senna if Stoffel misses another year of F1 due to old has-beens being unable to move on, I will riot.

 

[DD]

I swear to Senna if Stoffel misses another year of F1 due to old has-beens being unable to move on, I will riot.

Well, Toto said that he will find Vandoorne a seat if McLaren fail with that. Both seats at Manor are taken by Mecedes' drivers, but if Perez is really going to Renault, this means that that seat at Force India is open, which is powered by a Mercedes Engine.

 

[bobnowhere]

So he got a warning that he will get another warning if he continues to behave like that.

Wow much severe FIA.

Now go away or I shall warn you for a second time.

 

[DD]

Now imagine if Williams decide do sign with Lance Stroll. He, Mad Max and Guti together on track... We'll miss Maldonado, I guess...

 

[Juicy Bob]

Oh Max. I tried so hard to like you...

"Hij moet een beetje opletten met zijn uitspraken dat er iemand doodgaat, want hij heeft zelf iemand doodgereden", verwees Verstappen naar de crash van de Canadees in 2001 in Melbourne, waarbij een marshall achter de hekken omkwam nadat hij door brokstukken van Villeneuve's bolide was geraakt.

Verstappen: "He (Villeneuve) should watch his language when he says I might kill someone, cause he killed someone himself in Melbourne 2001"

 

[JDB]

Christ.

 

[DD]

Oh Max. I tried so hard to like you...

Oh, boy...

 

[Zeknurn]

I guess he decided to double down on being a cunt. It's time for Red Bull to stop him from talking to the press.

 

[nature boy]

Is Wonderboy trying to mimic Trump?

 

[xrnzaaas]

So his PR lady is looking for another job, eh?

 

[chadskin]

Wow.

 

[SCHUEY F1]

Max is a piece of shit.

 

[hamchan]

No, keep letting Max speak, this is great.

 

[Don_Tombery]

"He is still young .... He will learn... Give him some time..."

or he really is just an idiot

 

[Aiii]

No, keep letting Max speak, this is great.

It's like YouTube comments come to life, love it.

 

[Fox Mulder]

He probably thinks it makes him sound tough or hard instead of a dumb cunt, like dudes his age.

 

[JadedWriter]

Is Wonderboy trying to mimic Trump?

"My defensive driving is great, it's the best defensive driver you've ever seen. It's the greatest." Does Max have tiny hands?

 

[ReadingRambo]

The hero F1 needed.

 

[Elvin Atombender]

Red Bull need to make Max say "no comment" a lot more often.

 

[nekkid]

Oh Max. I tried so hard to like you...

That was probably his bedtime story.

 

[DD]

The hero F1 needed.

 

[ReadingRambo]

The KID is 18 and actually entertaining. Don't pretend F1 hasn't been an absolute snoozefest the last few years.

 

[DrM]

Red Bull need to make Max say "no comment" a lot more often.

This.

 

[Aiii]

This.

From a PR pov, sure.

From an entertainment pov, nope. Have at it.

 

[DD]

Can't argue with that. I guess every story needs a villain. Paradoxical that the coolest guy on the grid is sitting on the car on his side.

 

[ReadingRambo]

From a PR pov, sure.

From an entertainment pov, nope. Have at it.

Not even from a PR POV. Red Bull is dominating the media circus and they ain't even winning races.

 

[GrizzleBoy]

Oh Max. I tried so hard to like you...

What a prick....no wonder Sainz couldn't get along with him, the guy is an entitled, arrogant, ignorant, immature piece of crap.

Here is a description of the incident:

The accident happened on a fast stretch of the Albert Park track when Jacques Villeneuve in his BAR collided with the rear of Ralf Schumacher's Williams. The BAR car launched itself into the air and flew for almost 100 yards before hitting the barrier causing debris to fly in all directions as the car slid along the ground. A wheel struck the volunteer marshal, as it found a gap in the fence, and seven spectators were slightly injured. The cars were travelling at 185mph as they were going towards turn three.

Hey Max, maybe he's trying to tell you something here about the dangers of cars crashing into the back of others on high speed straights?

 

[Tempy]

Now imagine if Williams decide do sign with Lance Stroll. He, Mad Max and Guti together on track... We'll miss Maldonado, I guess...

Stroll has been much better this year. Or perhaps it's because the F3 field is much smaller than last year's and less collisions are likely. That said, he probably needs another year or two in GP3/GP2 before we see him in F1.

 

[Orgun]

I like Max's IGAF attitude, it's better than all these PR trained robots. Show some emotion!

 

[chadskin]

Emotion is fine but that comment is utterly disgusting and deplorable.

 

[Juicy Bob]

The KID is 18 and actually entertaining. Don't pretend F1 hasn't been an absolute snoozefest the last few years.

Don't be like this. This attitude of 'oh well, at least he's actually entertaining and has a personality' is so missing the point that it's painful.

 

[DD]

Stroll has been much better this year. Or perhaps it's because the F3 field is much smaller than last year's and less collisions are likely. That said, he probably needs another year or two in GP3/GP2 before we see him in F1.

I know. The boys is fast, but he's also on a dominant team. I wonder if he really learned his lesson or is just a case of him staying far from the rest of the field.

 

[GrizzleBoy]

You don't have to be an asshole to show emotion.

Ignorance and arrogance aren't emotions.
