At a glance it looked like Bernie was choking Eddie, which would not surprise me one bit.

 

[Cheeseman Battitude]

Don't they have to stay to the left of the white line and not just the arrow?

 

[Risgroo]

I think so, yeah. Ridiculous driving.

 

[Myoclonic Jerk]

So.. Another boring race tomorrow?

 

[Wax Free Vanilla]

Now for something different:

No gif of him giving Eddie some flowers and kissing him in the BBC interview? lol

Excellent work.

 

[Aiii]

They send Sainz home from the hospital, doesn't need to stay overnight.

 

[DrM]

Manor F1 Team ‏@ManorF1Team 6m6 minutes ago

Beginning the day with a visit to @McLarenF1 to repair relations with our new neighbours, ahead of them moving in.

 

[marvelharvey]

Manor, you have a new fan.

 

[Myoclonic Jerk]

That can't be real!!!!!!!


EDIT:

LOOOL

 

[DrM]

Manor twitter team is slowly taking the crown from Lotus. Maybe they even employed some guys from former Lotus social media crew.

Williams had a event sponsored by Martini yesterday evening and mr. Eccelstone came along for free Martini (or ten). Looks like he gave some candy to Felipe, just look how happy he is

Back to #F1 for a sec, noticed that the onboard of Sainz's crash was in "real" HD (unlike the other Onboards!)

http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/146253

I thought this strange noise even before Sainz clipped wall and then before he went into barriers was unusual, but testing new camera would explain it.

And just for info, last time they were upping quality happened in the middle of 2009. After testing it on single car in 2008 and the first half of 2009, in the second half few cars featured cameras we have today and almost full switch was done for 2010.

 

[Zeknurn]

This GP3 race is great.

 

[Mastah]

Esteban Ocon, the definition of forever second. Nine consecutive second places, lol.

 

[DrM]

I think that he will be awesome second driver in the future

That overtake on the penultimate lap though. I'd like to see him in the Renault Lotus.

http://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/faster-2017-f1-rules-tweaked-to-deliver-leap/

Formula 1's plans to deliver cars in 2017 that are around five seconds per lap faster than now are on course, Motorsport.com has learned, following tweaks agreed with teams.

...

That left teams working on an idea based around a more aggressive proposal from Red Bull, which has now been refined following the most recent Technical Regulations Working Group after the Japanese Grand Prix.

This will involve an 1850mm wide front wing - which is 200mm wider than the version currently used – and a rear wing that is 950mm wide and 800mm high.

The diffuser design will also be similar to how F1 cars were back in 2010, which should allow improved performance from the floor.

One change that has been approved is for the tyres to be slightly narrower than first proposed, because of concerns that the higher drag produced by the original concept offsetting all aerodynamic gains.

So the idea now is for the tyres to be 300mm wide at the front and 400mm wide at the rear. Current tyres are 245mm wide at the front and 325mm wider at the rear.

oh shoot the race starts early today. messing up my plans tbh.

It's Sochi. You can probably tune in hour later without missing anything.

LOL I had to find the video for that...

Let's leave such status for experts like Rosberg, Massa or Raikkonen

That overtake on the penultimate lap though. I'd like to see him in the Renault Lotus.

I just hope his talent won't be wasted in DTM, where it seems he's heading to :/ As long as he is at least in F1 testing role with some mileage to drive, he will shine through.

Also, Ferrari have one and only chance to lock down proper talent in Luca Ghiotto. Beating and competing with Ocon is no easy feat, so if they are serious about Ferrari Driver Academy and if they want "their" Italian driver in F1, he's the best prospect out there.

stuff about 2017 rule changes

Wind tunnel owners everywhere are rubbing their hands with glee.

Who the fuck are those clowns on RTL?

Spoiler

not like RTL coverage is good or anything.

 

[Ark]

Holy crap. Mercedes has 1300 people in the team? I knew it was a big team, but I never realised quite how large they were.

 

[DrM]

I think this is combined number with their engine development team. In main team they have around 750 employees

RTL is more like watching commercials with race breaks

 

[Kyougar]

can i watch sky or bbc legally from germany?

 

[DrM]

can i watch sky or bbc legally from germany?

Dunno, maybe with satellite receiver? I will have the same issue next year, our national TV will not air 2016 season, because they will spend too much on Olympic games coverage and ORF is also pulling a plug (still undecided, but leaning into that way).

 

[Orgun]

This segment with Button and rallly cross has put the biggest grin on my face. Looked like so much fun.

 

[Juicy Bob]

Button is a great guy, but I do wish it was Vandoorne in the McLaren next year.

 

[Lucius86]

Pirelli staying in F1 for 3 years, huh?

 

[Juicy Bob]

Pirelli renewed for three more years, says Bernie on BBC.

 

[Mastah]

Awful, if true.

 

[DieH@rd]

Brundle just bumrushed Bernie on track, it is confirmed.

 

[Ruruja]

Sunhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, shit my breakfast has gone everywhere.

 

[Par Score]

Yeah, I love JB, it's great he's sticking around F1 for another few years at least.

 

[DrM]

Tarmac on this track is simply not too abrasive enough. Maybe it would be a better to put this race in the summer, when weather is hot and we would see 2-3 stopper race, but then Sochi is already full of tourists.

 

[Lucius86]

DC burn on Eric Boulier...

 

[chadskin]

And on RTL, Bernie said Red Bull will get an engine for next year and they'll definitely be on the grid in Melbourne.

Now the question is which engine.

 

[Mastah]

GP2 engine?

 

[Orgun]

DC burn on Eric Boulier...

That was such a great burn.

 

[nature boy]

Is Putin there?

 

[brotkasten]

Love the Russian anthem.

 

[DrM]

Not yet,currently in talks with crown prince of Abu Dhabi
