They dominated the sport for half a decade whilst no other manufacturer could suss out how to get closer to them. They have 18 months of difficulties and they throw there toys out of the pram..

The Renault was never a great engine in their WDC years, it was passable. Redbull just had an epic chassis to get them to the front and stay there. Now the past 2 years they have produced a POS engine that couldn't even run in pre-season testing in '14.

Redbull are spending 100's of millions dollars and can't even get a reliable engine. They have a right to be pissed.

Renault wanted this change in regulations and look at what they've produced.

That must be why Lotus were fighting for wins in those days. Because the engine was barely passable.

What a load of shite.

Red Bull can get fucked. The sooner I never have to see Marko darken my TV screen again the better.

 

[ElTorro]

Watching the report of 1995's Monza GP on Sky. Haha, I can remember how pissed I was as a kid when Hill torpedoed Schumacher out of the race for the second time in a row.

 

[DrM]

.

He reported strange power oscillations in his 7th and 8th gear, so they rather did not risk it

 

[brotkasten]

.

Curse of the #2 driver.

 

[Ark]

Hamilton is only 20 pole positions away from Schumacher's record? Holy shit.

 

[ElTorro]

I'll drink a shot of Scotch every time Nico takes the emergency exit at the first chicane.

 

[jey_16]

oh my lord....was that alonso's girlfriend?

 

[Deadman]

Or because lotus had James Alison.


4 cars leaving f1 would not be a good thing.

 

[JadedWriter]

Damn, Danny Ricky's car is still dead.

 

[TCRS]

man even when marussia is the only car on the track they don't get any TV time. I would flip my shit.

 

[Aiii]

For one, he said passable, not barely passable.

For another, Renault have a terrible engine right now. It's complete shit.

They have also spent ZERO tokens to fix it.

But yeah, Ricciardo should take his 50-place grid penalty and thank the French Gods for the amazing engine in 2009.

 

[TCRS]

just fuck my shit up fam

 

[nny]

What the....ahahahah

Make the car lighter, they said...

 

[Goldrusher]

Someone forgot a screw.

 

[Tempy]

Wow. Someone didn't attach something properly.

 

[Aiii]

Someone forgot a screw.

They used the IKEA principle, as long as it sort of sticks together, it's probably fine.

 

[ElTorro]

The Power of Pipe Dreams

 

[FunkeeFresh]

...they must have ran out of gaffer tape

 

[dubc35]

Lol, that bodywork was not happy to be on an STR

 

[Goldrusher]

(not mine)

 

[nny]

Can they give that vehicle to Alonso?

 

[Mastah]

If FIA is serious about safety, Toro Rosso have to be harsly penalised. Verstappen wouldn't even have a chance to start his timed lap, so sending his car out in a hurry without bodywork attached in such circumstances has to be penalised, otherwise all this talk about safety and canopies is a joke.

 

[NewDust]

Imagine what could have happend if someone was driving behind Max...

 

[Par Score]

After all this talk of problems with debris and head protection for the last few weeks, I hope Torro Rosso get fucking hammered for letting that happen. Fuck grid place penalties, just straight DQ for the whole team.

There was a clear track behind him this time, but what kind of damage could an engine cover do coming into the cockpit around Curva Grande?

 

[ElTorro]

Well, at least everybody got a pretty clear look at Toro Rosso's packaging.

 

[Ark]

Imagine what could have happend if someone was driving behind Max...

Nothing? Because the debris immediately travelled away from the racing line.

 

[JadedWriter]

STR be like:

 

[TCRS]

Renault making gold plated engines. no wonder they're shit smh

 

[ElTorro]

Renault making gold plated engines. no wonder they're shit smh

I am surprised that it's not a hamster in a wheel, to be honest.

 

[brotkasten]

I am surprised that it's not a hamster in a wheel, to be honest.

No Torro, that's the Honda engine.

 

[JadedWriter]

I am surprised that it's not a hamster in a wheel, to be honest.

That's cause Honda bought up all the F1 spec gerbils.

 

[NewDust]

Nothing? Because the debris immediately travelled away from the racing line.

Yeah, that is true... But people on in laps are not always on the racing line. But that (luckily) is a hypothetical situation.

 

[dubc35]

RAI running full vodka mode today?

 

[brotkasten]

Too bad this isn't the Q3 result.

 

[Mastah]

Holy shit at 2 accidents in Eurocup 2.0. One car upside down on the barrier and second car did 360 in the fucking air. Both drivers fine, but race was red flagged, damn.

 

[shaki123]

Bottas playing 2nd fiddle to Massa. Good stuff.

 

[ElTorro]

Wonder if Rosberg has a power issue with his old PU. His times are shit.

 

[nny]

Yeah, Crashean!

 

[TCRS]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSS

FERRARIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Xando]

Now all we need is hamilton to go out tomorrow for Ferrari 1-2.

Suprisingly small margin between Hamilton and both Ferrari cars.

 

[ramparter]

Ferrari finally doing great in Monza since...???

Lewis is not holding that first place tomorrow after the start.

 

[Par Score]

KIMI!

 

[Ark]

Kimi finally woke up!

 

[itsgreen]

Holy shit at 2 accidents in Eurocup 2.0. One car upside down on the barrier and second car did 360 in the fucking air. Both drivers fine, but race was red flagged, damn.

:O

 

[DrM]

Looks like Ferrari used some aggressive engine mapping for qualification. Plus they are good on softer compound and lightyear behind Mercedes on medium.

Wonder if Rosberg has a power issue with his old PU. His times are shit.

That would be 6th or even 7th GP for that engine, no wonder that he cannot trail Lewis

 

[Mokubba]

7 in a row.

I wonder how long Lewis can keep this up.

Could be an interesting race with Ferrari right behind him.

:O

Wow

 

[TCRS]

hulkenberg ran out of fuel smh

 

[jey_16]

great job by the ferrari drivers, hoping they can pull something tomorrow

 

[Xando]

So they didn't give Hulk enough fuel GG Force India.
