It is not a problem in the windtunnel, more in the lack of skilled people on that front

Perhaps they think the engine is more important or something like that.
And not everyone wants to work in Italy.
This is actually a real problem for them, given that most F1 development is based in the UK. Hard to recruit talent from that ecosystem when you have to convince them to move to a different country and learn a foreign language with their entire family.
At this point I'm wondering how much of F1's personell consists of british people. Most of the factories are there, by extension most personell will be from there, even though I'm sure they grab the best from around the world too.
As international as the sport is, it must be 50% british or something.

But their engine was shit the year the engine became the most important thing.
Pre 2015 season we heard the car was so bad the team was supposed to be sorry for Vettel and Raikkonen.
Pre 2016 they were supposed to be closer than ever to Mercedes.
If they have a good year and a few wins in 2017, these preseasons rumours/impressions being the opposite of what happen might become a new pattern!

2017 over for Ferrari. Next year is their year for sure.

Most recent example being James Allison probably?
Technically 2015 was a bad year, but they just lucked out RBR had an even worse year and they defaulted to getting wins whenever Merc dropped the ball.
Force India is launching their car on the Feb 22nd at Silverstone.
Depressing. I wonder if this will be the season that I move to watching Channel 4 highlights when it's on Sky only.

I generally stopped watching a lot of races live last year. I occasionally paid for NowTV, but that pisses me off because you can't watch qualifying and the race unless you pay for a 1 week pass.

I've just bought myself a that 55" KS7000 people are raving about. Along with Sky Q and SSF1 in UHD, this will be me in March:
I hope you like a boring season of Ferrari dominating every race.

It doesn't matter who we are, what matters is our plan.
It's miserable going back to work after Christmas, so that was just the ticket. Cheers!

I think we should shift focus to the year Mick Schumacher joins the team.
Kinda useless to compare them side by side instead of on top of each other.
So I made a gif
Don't mind the watermark
Cool, thanks!

Nice. How much did you get it for? I'm looking at that very model and size for a potential replacement for my TV.
Silverstone had a good run - http://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/s...ating-british-gp-break-clause-in-2017-863265/
Bernie and his money grabbing bullshit strike again.
They knew about the escalator going in so the costs are predictable. They invested in the new grandstands and circuit changes in that context. I don't see how they're now complaining unless they are angling for a discount or other sweetener, which is unlikely considering the size of the calendar.

It was £900 in John Lewis a couple of weeks back. Not sure if they've still got it on offer.

The British GP isn't moving. How many times have we heard this threat?
And the two other circuits who are speaking to Ecclestone are who? Probably Donnington, who don't have anywhere near the facilities or even 2 pennies to rub together, and Circuit of Wales, which is just fanciful vapourware.

I genuinely couldn't give a shit if we lost Silverstone tbh. Well, as long as it wasn't replaced with some tilkedrome anyway.
They ruined Hockenheim and Silverstone with the new layouts for me.

No way. Village and the Loop is an excellent series of bends. Catches out loads of people, especially with a bit of tail wind. The old left-hand Abbey and under the bridge was dull by comparison.

Nice. I have gone to John Lewis for all my previous TV purchases because of their 5 year warranty. It's now a paid extra so I'm in two minds this time around.

Are you seriously expecting Channel Four to pick races that take place in the middle of the night/very early morning rather than concentrate on the ones they might actually make money from showing?
Nope, I do however expect Liberty Media to take a good look at the deal when the popularity of the sport continues to drop.

Yeah the 5 year warranty is included on all TVs.
You're probably seeing the 5 years accidental damage for £99 (which I did pay for - because I expect a catastrophic accident at 4.5 years...)
That loss of the 10th place in WCC cost them dearly

Completely ridiculous that they get nothing in revenue share only the top 10.
In other news I got a 1977 Autocourse in the mail today! I don't think it's been opened in about 38 years.

Did Nasr become their grim reaper with those 2 points? And ironically he doesn't seem to have a confirmed seat yet either...
In some more positive news, it looks like there could be a Zurich ePrix. It would be the first international circuit race in the country since 1954.

Yep, you're right (and you DBT). I have/had that warranty on both my TVs I got from them going back to 2007 - thankfully I've never needed to use it. Good to hear it's still free.
