They split up... again.
Unless they're back together again, who can keep track?

Sounds actually like a cool idea. It might make real overtaking unnecessary, though.
Ha, they're all pretty good quotes. I like RIC and RAI's as well!

I still think 4 engines for the entire season is ridiculous.
Wonder what Red Bull would do if Gasly won the GP2 championship this year.
Vandoorne and Evans are the big favourites, but Gasly and Lynn could have a chance
Seems final this time, from what I heard.
I don´t. One option would be a little faster than the other, so that's the one everyone would take. So the other option would stay dirty and become even slower, so you couldn´t even use it for an overtaking.
And then FIA would see themselves in a position to issue new rules "to keep it exciting" and make it mandatory, that every driver has to use the alternate route at least three times in a race, which drivers and teams would try to undermine... and thus the usual circus of stupid in F1 regulations would simply take another twist everybody gets mad about.

Well here come the special F1 rules, each driver will have to use every route for at least 30% of his laps etc

Lost without Peter P, when Honda sort out their ERs issues the domination days will return for McLaren.
finally watching the race. vettel just overtook lolberg.
where were you when german jesus returned and drenched the track in red?
feels good man.
guy is brilliant. looks in charge, knows how to motivate, knows how to speak to the press instead of looking slightly unsure and saying "for sure" a lot or not talking at all.

I liked Domenicalli.
Arrivabene looks like the best man for the job at the moment. You can tell he's a 'no nonsense' kind of guy. I just get the impression that he could become one of those guys I end up not liking if he brings Ferrari to the front and ends up having to get all political and ruthless...

They can cry about the shit engine only so much, but getting beat by their junior team with rookies using the same engine makes them look worse.

None of the previous Ferrari men were unlikable, though. Domenicali was a probably even a bit too nice, just like Whitmarsh. Mattiacci never made an incompetent impression either. In fact, he set most things for this season in motion, including getting rid of Alonso, and Vettel on board. He just wasn't political enough for Marchionne. I was highly skeptical of Arrivabene (I'll never get over this glorious and fantastic name) at the beginning and I still have some doubts. But maybe he really is what Ferrari needs right now. A manager and not a sports guy.

Thank God. Time for Lewis to find a real woman, but not before Niki takes him to a strip joint.
Lewis takes elderly fan to strip club.

Resurrected German Jesus will not allow any of that nonsense. We have a decade of Ferrari dominance ahead of us.

I still think mercs will win most if not all the coming races (in normal conditions)..
If Ferrari is actually a contender I believe Kimi will come on top
Believe!
But Mattiacci was a manager. A damn good one at that, apparently. LdM moved him from being in charge of Ferrari America to being on the F1 team and then LdM got booted and so did Mattiacci. I feel bad for him tbh.
Arrivabene is a cool guy though.

I strongly, strongly disagree. Yes men and buck passers.
Yup. There are only a couple or races which will suit the Ferrari anywhere near as much as Malaysia did.

Lewis and elderly fan make it rain in the VIP lounge, then elderly fan moves the party on to his plane, Lewis joins the mile high club.
We will see how will this year's summer be in Europe. Either hot or scorching hot
Good. The use of grid girls is cringe worthy.

Grid girls gotta eat too

Just think of that modelling work that has just been axed. That's a lot of fake tans and manicures that aren't going to be done it affects more than just the girls.
JadedWriter

This is true, and the outfits that won't be designed and purchased, there's actually an economy around this that get effected, same for hair stylists as well.

I didn't think of that! And then the sponsors... They pay to have their l logo on those girls, someone had to arrange that... Won't someone think of the grid girls!

It's so really sexist to tell women that they can't do that job anymore. I'm sure some of them loved it.

The single unmarried drivers too.
I'm pretty sure the WEC did this to be more politically correct and progressive, but there's money in the grid girls industry and I highly doubt anybody was mistreated or heavily harassed during events, comic con this isn't. We're all going to miss moments like this if Bernie went this route:

Yeah it makes no sense. I'm all for female empowerment and equal rights, but the girls get paid to be there. Now if their pay grade is as fucked as NFL cheerleaders then that's an entirely different story.

Correction Bernie is stuck in 1870. Probably paid for his wife with a dowry.

Forget grid girls we need to see more of Carmen Jorda
It seems like every time I see the camera go to her she is standing by herself. I have yet to see anyone talk to her (I don't watch pre/post race coverage so maybe they do then).
brotkasten
Member
I'd rather see her in the car than in the pits.
She and Palmer were standing together during the race.
And yeah, the concept of grid girls is disgusting and should be gone from anything motorsport related.

I'm not too disgusted by grid girls to be honest. When there's stuff like female circumcision running around something like this isn't that bad to me. As long as they're not there for some drivers to live out their James Hunt fantasies with it's sort of harmless to me. Granted I'm pretty sure your reply will be a lot more philosophical, which I don't mind. Now if there were "grid guys" and they got paid more than the grid girls now that would be a huge problem.
This is bullshit good sir.
She is a mediocre d-class driver....
She hasn't done anything impressive...
Except her looks. And family money. Which are great.
Let's be honest, she just isn't close to being a good driver. Correct me if I'm wrong by presenting a top 5 position in any international series.
