I feel no sympathy for a man that looks and acts like a Speed Racer villain.

I fucking love these videos.
If you need your Webbah fix, the highlights for the first day of the first Rally race has started on Red Bull TV, and it's free.

Pretty sweet. I imagine RedBull TV wont be doing all the races.
Also terrible news about a spectator being killed.

It's awesome there's going to be an extensive coverage of the season without having to pay for WRC+. I won't even mind that Ogier will get more air time because of being sponsored by Red Bull.
Yeah that sounds realistic. Bigger development steps for one less engine per year that pushes harder to get the cars past the increased air resistance. Plus some suppliers might go for a "power now, reliability later" approach or something.
I wonder how hard Mercedes is working to fix the gremlins they suddenly got last year (mostly to Lewis' detriment), because they're probably not to keen on that sort of bad PR.
It'll be interesting to see. As Scarbs said they might have had some ideas and now that they are unlocked, might push for some changes. We'll have to see.
A nice video about the evolution of downforce in racing

Oddly enough, that popped up on my suggested yesterday too. I guess because of Peter Windsor.
they ran the "Rosso Corsa" paint job in 2007 from Monaco onwards (rather then Rosso Scuderia) and it was gorgeous, hoping we might get something special this season considering the 70 year anniversary celebrations
Race of Champions has started. If you're lucky you can watch the live stream on their website. http://www.raceofchampions.com/live-results/

His name is Rio and he has no ride as of yet...
Well, there's a rumor going around that some Indonesian conglomerate is one of the bidders for Manor.

Is F1 going to just want bodies, or viable teams?
I wish the barrier to entry was lessened but over the past years, we've only got teams who are just on the verge as successful and teams that may be dissolved quarter season?
As Vettellikes to say,"what are we doing here, guys?"
Until they implement a budget cap and make the distribution of the prize money more fair, the tail end of the grid is always going to be on the brink of folding at the end of each season.
Because if you're a sponsor and you're willing to invest the money needed in F1, you do it further up the field because all the teams always need more money.

Jesus, that could easily have been so much worse. Rollbar wont do shit if they land across on one of those barriers upside down.
Even looks like the passengers head hits the barrier tbh.
That will be probably the only title that he will win in 2017
It's a sign, German Jesus has returned.

3 seasons you mean, then the analogy fits.
It looks like Paul Hembry getting out there early.

Good, old scaremongering.
What? The bigger the performance gap between 2 cars, the easier overtaking is. And the problem with processions is caused by cars qualifying in the same specification they race and top 10 cars starting on the same tyre compound, but that has nothing to do with new rules.
Again, if there are more flat out sections, overtaking will be easier, because following cars will get longer slipstream benefit and spend less time being affected by dirty air.
