I thought it was no secret that he's doing sim work for Mercedes? Pretty sure all that came out a few months back.
Yeah he was doing that (and nobody denied it), but looks like he was working in simulator again in very recent history

Webber just beat Vettel's time on Top Gear.
Good stuff.
Oh, nice. Wasn't it in the wet though? Was Vettel's in the dry?Webber just beat Vettel's time on Top Gear.

Fuck yes:
The Mercedes engine sounded ok in that video the other day.
Engine guy at Mercedes said it's around the same frequency but just a lower volume.
Oh shit, good find!I spot a wild Mitch Evans in the top pic.
This makes me laugh! its the same frequency, yet some clowns still complain
its going to be pretty loud when 22 cars blast by you.
Here's the Renault for comparison:

WTF Button!!! Seriously! WHAT THA FAK!!??

What the F1 indeed. If it was done with a sense of irony or self-deprecation, then fine... but I didn't get any of that at all.WTF Button!!! Seriously! WHAT THA FAK!!??

Okay, we have three weeks(ish) up our sleeve, lets post some awesome(ly good, or bad) F1 driver-endorsing ads. I'mma get it started (no prizes for guessing which driver AND ad it is )
I get the feeling JB saw it as a bit of a pisstake. I think it's hilarious.What the F1 indeed. If it was done with a sense of irony or self-deprecation, then fine... but I didn't get any of that at all.
Yes, frequency is the only thing that matters in sound.
Ass.
Give me a break you clown. unless you are actually there listening to it in the flesh, youtube reproduction isn't an accurate representation.
But I guess that's too much for a genius like you to understand

Edit: I'd never even seen this one, from the same series of ads.
I'm not the asshole calling people clowns for having another opinion. So don't give me that fucking attitude boy.
temper temper dummy, don't be calling people assholes.
I know, right? I'm pretty sure what he said at the end wasn't scripted or practised, too. You can normally tell when that's the case because he slips into his media-friendly (I guess) South African accent.Holy shit, I actually laughed. This is funny, the Button one is just weird.

The reality is that some will be change resistant no matter what, the engine regs had to change in order to slow the cars and push technology in an interesting direction.
Yes the sound changes as a result, but an ACTUAL F1 ENGINEER SAYS: its not too much of a difference, ergo 'another opinion' is actually the wrong opinion.
so you change your opinion on the 86 year old teabag whenever you like? usually he is 'ruining F1' boo hoo, and then he is right on some things?
Never change F1gaf

Forgotten about, maybe... but the old engines still sound a ridiculous amount better than what we've got, and the engines next year will be another step in the wrong direction.I remember when ferrari changed from their v12 and the outcry of the noise will be lost etc... But it becomes the new normal and these things will be forgotten when we see drivers using their boost and KERS and so on.

Speaking about Bernie, it seems that he's determined to put Nasr on the grid:
"I'm here. Anytime you need advice, just shout. I need a Brazilian driver "
"I spoke with some teams and they are impressed how he has developed in recent years"

He could/should try to help Frijns too. =P
Advancement > sound.
Yeah... about that. I'm assuming advancement doesn't count as laptime, or spectacle right?
Because frankly the advancement has been next to worthless. As I've said before, FIA WEC is far more impressive when it comes to advancement (especially advancement with real world application).

You're following the wrong sport.
Some "news":
- FER built to car back to the Spain version, none of the parts developed since then worked (front wing, aero package, longer side tunnels, exhaust rear wing etc.). They are now saying, that the wind tunnel is not at fault, but that the car is at the end of its potential per se. Additionally they seem to be the big losers from the new tyres. They are degrading much faster than on the other cars. Yet they have problems to get them on temperature. They expect to be only competitive on the high speed tracks the rest of the year.
Lotus already on 2014, Ferrari will soon migrate to 2014 car (in matter of 3-4 races IMO), what about RBR and Merc?
Pretty much what Webber/Clarkson echoed on TG.Apparently so, because I fell in love with it 25 odd years ago because of the quality of the racing, not how well drivers could manage their tyres.

Laptimes can only improve so much before they are too dangerous, where that limit of safety is may be up for discussion.
I don't disagree. That said, you can reduce speeds without forcing the cars to become aero limited and screwing up racing. I really hate that cars can't follow each other closely any more.
Eh? The cars' over-reliance on aero downforce is exactly what's preventing them from being able to follow each other closely!I don't disagree.
