Ha, it is known. So many people still stuck in the 1800s.
So another boring year with no competition on the front, thanks Donald.
That'd have the opposite result. Pink didn't even have those associations until the 20th century afaik

No, it isn't.
Toto from 2016:
Q: ... Everybody says that Ferrari are very close. Are they very close?
TW: They are much closer. It is difficult to say how much closer, but the last couple of days indicate that. It seems they have done a good job over the winter, so it could boil down to a tough fight between them and us.
Q: You always say you are not one for predictions, but Melbourne is not even three weeks away so you must have an opinion...
TW: Let me tell you something: probably I am a bit superstitious, but many times when you predict something it turns out completely the other way - and I don't want to risk that! What the tests so far have shown is that Mercedes and Ferrari are ahead of other teams - but never underestimate Red Bull Racing nor Williams. This is my guess based on testing results.
It's lightish red!

I am going to make it through this year if it kills me
Didn't Moto GP or was it Moto 2 have a pink bike? Maybe Paris Hilton's team?

Wow, pink.
I don't hate pink, but it just doesn't look good. I actually liked the FI color scheme.

"Free Practice has been cancelled due for too many red flags caused by McLarens"
Agreed, really nothing to gain from this. F1 is such a close knit circle he could be asking them for a seat or working with engineers from their current team in the future.
Other side of the coin: The difficult thing about text is that he could have been posting it in a amicable, joking manner but it gets lost in translation.

Are we going to have a predict league this season ? Last season I missed to predict in the the first race, and ended up in third.
Seriously, how many emoticons do you need for it to be clear?

Because they tuned it down after the oil tank issues AFAIK.
I wonder if last years lump would fit in the car.

My apoligies, it was an insensitive comment.
Because Honda are fucking incompetent.
Their big idea was to copy Mercedes using a photocopier and a picture of their engine taken by a 3 year old 300 metres away.
They ended up copying a banana sandwich and a packet of Haribo and had to guess from there.
Wonder if it's to much work to fit the 2016 engine into the new chassis for the first few races.
At least until Honda gets their shit together and sends them something better than that.
The 2017 engine might actually be worse than their 2015 piece of shit lol.

I actually had a dream about F1 last night. The Ferraris were competitive in Australia... but both had their engines blow before the end of the race. lol
If there's one thing I'm optimistic about regarding Ferrari in 2017, it's reliability. Supposedly their engine held up for the entirety of winter testing. That'll do, old horse. That'll do.
Then again, if Lewis' engine gremlins are still in the paddock...
They started the 2017 engine from scratch, or so people said in this thread.
It's true, they ditched their size 0 concept bs and went with a more conventional Merc-style engine.

There was that whole revolutionary story last year where teams realised Mercedes were using special tech to get their fuel to combust in a more evenly spread area inside the piston chamber instead of just wherever the fuel was injected, which gave smoother power delivery and better drivability.
They should been trying to emulate that and have a smoother engine this year. God knows​ how it ended up the complete opposite, being so violent that it literally ejects pistons and breaks other parts of the car due to vibrations.
