If they could get the Red Bull name off the grid, that would be great.

Of course it's not happening, but still!

You win some, you lose some .

Autocar also reported Audi was getting into F1, so take it with a huge grain of salt.

 

[Big Takeover]

Holy shit!

 

[Addnan]

Silly season in full swing.

 

[navanman]

Madder things have happened but I can't see Mercedes going for it.

I would be more than okay with this.

 

[brotkasten]

I gave Massa a lot of shit during his later years at Ferrari, but man, I can't be mad at his P3 or at him in general. In a weird way, I'm happy that he can beat his old team.

 

[DrM]

They won't even penalize them anymore out of pity.

Those responsible were tranquilized and taken to Woking HQ to count the tiles in the main hall, because Ron is not certain in number that Whitmarsh provided

He seems to genuinely enjoy driving again, and it's fantastic.

 

[RoKKeR]

Very happy to see Williams doing well this weekend. Hopefully they can keep the podium streak up.

 

[DrM]

I can see that Aston Martin rumor getting more steam after summer's break.

Mercedes is happy that Williams can put some additional pressure on Ferrari. And I think that Williams will get even stronger in 2nd half of the season - of course they won't be a (direct) thread to Mercedes factory team.

 

[Ark]

Imagine:

Mercedes
Ferrari
Aston Martin
McLaren Honda
Renault
Williams

Yes please.

 

[Dilly]

I'm just going to keep quoting this.

In a bold statement, though, Arai has not only predicted a podium finish will come before the British Grand Prix in early July, but the likelihood McLaren-Honda will be firmly challenging Mercedes by the end of the year, then dominating in the near future.

The ramblings of a delusional man.

 

[Psychotext]

Get ready to quote the other stuff he said about being competitive after the summer break.

 

[TCRS]

come home, check results

ferrari not even on row 2

why live

 

[dubc35]

The ramblings of a delusional man.

They should be targeting finishing and maybe points. Be realistic Arai-san!

 

[brotkasten]

Come on now. They restructured the whole team, have completely new people and all that. They had to keep something traditional, no? What's next? A yellow Ferrari?

MONSTER ENERGY-Aston Martin

 

[Souldestroyer Reborn]

I am going to get F1 2015 on day one just because I want to see how they represent McLaren in-game.

Well it's the closest McLaren is going to get at winning anything.

Would be funny as hell if when you picked McLaren for the season you spent all season in the garage.

Holy fuck!

Someone please tweet this at Sky Sports F1 and McLaren >.<

 

[Roude Leiw]

 

[Myoclonic Jerk]

So. What does everyone expect from the race?

Mercs are a given, and from what vettel said it seems like a turn one battle at its best between them and the Williams.

With an expected 1 stop strategy for all, there seem to be nothing left to lift my hope for a good race.

I'm hoping for Ferrari to jump the Williams at least

 

[A Fish Aficionado]

Massa's resurgence is fantastic.

And omg Honda-McLaren.

Yeah, I am not having high hopes. But you never know. Maybe the Mercs kick each other out in the first corner. I'd like to see Felipe win. His last win was in 2008!

Everyone will finish in team order.

No, it was Germany 2010

mm.. so we would see a couple of changes at least

One of the proposals to make Formula 1 cars significantly faster for 2017 involves the return of ground effect underbodies, AUTOSPORT has learned.

F1 is looking into ways to make the cars several seconds per lap faster in the future, and the FIA has invited teams to submit their own proposals following last week's Strategy Group meeting at Biggin Hill.

I just realised that I forgot to make my predictions for this week, so I'm fucked in the league

They've tried this several times before, and they always vote against it.

 

[freakzilla149]

Hmm... that sounds intriguing. I've not been around long enough to experience F1 ground effect, I'd love to see it make a come back.

I suppose it'll also reduce the dependence on the front wing, making overtaking a bit more likely.

 

[PdotMichael]

Making the cars faster again would be a great step forward.

 

[Myoclonic Jerk]

http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/119853

I don't know exactly what ground effect is but from what I remember from this forum's discussionbs that it can be quite dangerous

Yes, if you a helicopter.

It shouldn't be a problem for modern cars and race circuits and would force the drivers to stay on track.

 

[Juicy Bob]

And, crucially, it should mean that the dirty air issue should be significantly lessened too.

I can hear Nico R. screaming at Toto to get this done

 

[ConstructMe]

Whyd they stop ground effect in the 1st place if its so good?

 

[Mastah]

Ron Dennis about EJ after Eddie claimed Ron should stop down: "Village idiot"

 

[Kuros]

Is there rain forecast? Smashing it down in Cardiff.

Edit. Thunderclaps now.

 

[Wax Free Vanilla]

Why has EJ got it in for Ron anyway? Is he still pissed that he crept behind him and cut his mic wire live on the BBC a few years back? Lol

 

[swordfishtrombones]

Yes, if you a helicopter.

It shouldn't be a problem for modern cars and race circuits and would force the drivers to stay on track.

Just to make sure: "ground effect" refers to two different phenomena for aircraft and cars.

 

[iceagecoming]

Cars got too fast for the circuits of the era. (I think)

 

[Addnan]

Home grand prix of all but 3 teams? Best weekend of the sport by far.

 

[Mastah]

Nasr stopped on the track, will Ctrl+Alt+Delete help?

edit: Nope.

 

[Kuros]

Great piece on the Beeb with Lewis and Sterling Moss.

Dat 300 SLR.

Edit 196 even.

 

[Dilly]

That DC-Button bromance.

 

[Juicy Bob]

Our national anthem is so shit.

 

[Addnan]

Why are they doing the British national anthem like americans. Wtf.
