So this is what passes nowadays as "entertaining" races? bunch of crashes...

 

[Juicy Bob]

Just ignore all the racing and overtaking, why don't you...

 

[Paradise Brunch]

I just read formula e on wiki.

The German GP is on airport?

I would like to see the time difference between F1 cars and Formula E cars in Monaco.

The Formula E layout of Monaco is shorter than the F1 one.

And the tunnel isn't included.....

Not that it'll make difference in terms of sound.

I 'm watching qualifying highlights from Monaco 1999 and damn, crashes before HANS was introduced were scary:

Yeah, same goes for Hakkinen's crash in Adelaide.

Red Bull's Chief Mechanic Kenny Handkammer left the team to join Tesla Motors.

e: Whoops, this is not a story, as he left the team already back in October. Sorry about that!

Raikkonen invested in Nasr's career

Monaco - Hamilton, Rosberg, Ricciardo, Massa, Button, Maldonado, Hulkenberg
Switzerland - Vettel, Raikkonen, Perez, Grosjean
Great Britain - Bottas, Kvyat, Nasr
Belgium - Verstappen
Spain - Sainz
Sweden - Ericsson
UAE - Alonso

Marussia boys? Probably somewhere in Nuthingstan:

Alonso lives in the UAE?

The McLaren move was tougher on his psyche than we thought.

UAE = Unknown Address Experience. Give it a day or two more and he will remember and let them know.

It's amazing how they still miss the chicanes, bwahahahaha!

What the hell is that? That is adorable! Hahahaha... They're so silent, you can hear the audience laugh.

 

[Aiii]

Jesus, I could overtake them by foot. I'd obliterate them by bike.

Both of which are more environment friendly than electronic transportation, mind you. How pointless...

Gotta save on taxes.

Gotta save on taxes.

My first thought as well.

 

[Hammer24]

ROS has some private problems, not really focusing on the sport right now.

 

[ElTorro]

Is this Mario Kart or is this real life?

That red car definitely did a boost start.

From the comments: "Their SC is just a guy on foot with a yellow flag."

Holy shit, need to rewatch when I´m not that sober...

 

[Lach]

They are pedalling right? Those are just like those lying on your back bycicles but with a cover!

 

[Staab]

Lol, wth is that, the soapbox race ?
The start is especially painfully hilarious: light goes green, two guys get moving and then start to panic cause they think they jumped the start :lol:

Some infos from recent AMuS stories: Mercedes to run new aero parts in China including a frontwing that was ready for Malaysia but not used.

Force India has to delay planned China aero upgrade to Bahrain. Package includes frontwing, brake ducts & side deflectors.

Lotus only built 1 graphic display steering wheel for cost reasons. Not race used. Could have helped MAL in Malaysia (SC delta time penalty)

Also:

Tobias Grüner AMuS ‏@tgruener 2h2 hours ago

According to engineers, Alonsos crash story is not plausible. Torque & hydraulic sensors would have picked up up blocked or heavy steering.

F1-insider.com ‏@F1insidercom 1h1 hour ago

@tgruener I heard the same... Engineers were laughing about #alonso's steering story.

 

[Joni]

Belgium - Verstappen

The Formula 1 should give him a little Belgian flag in half the races. Or at least in the Belgian GP.

 

[Ark]

ROS has some private problems, not really focusing on the sport right now.

Is it to do with his marriage last year? Has he picked up the wrong aspects of Hamilton's life?

 

[Psychotext]

His wife is pregnant, due in August. Hope it's nothing to do with that.

Edit - Seems it might be, apparently she's suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum (extreme morning sickness, very nasty).

 

[Hammer24]

Yes it has. Spends every second with her, spends only the absolute necessary time on track.

 

[TCRS]

and people actually watch this

also, who finances a series like that? the fee for the track alone must be crazy.

Apparently his wife is having a very difficult pregnancy.

What would be cheaper?

Get one of these cars on the grid and let each one of us drive it once or to get an F1GAF Logo on the Marussia cars?

 

[JadedWriter]

[Hasney]

So as there is a tiny bit of sun in England, I've been sunglasses shopping as my last pair were destroyed in a Black Sabbath moshpit. Decided to look at cheap ones first and other than a Livestrong Oakley pair that is reduced for obvious reasons, I came across this monstrosity:

Mother of god.

Am I missing something? These are school kids 11-16 who put together the cars they are racing. Sounds really fucking cool that they get to race on the actual courses.

oh okay I missed that part. I thought it's an official junior series. in that case their effort is commendable even if it looks hilarious

AND yet they manage be faster than the McLarens.

More delays at Force India:

It had been hoped that the updated car would run at the Monaco GP in May, round six of the world championship, but Fernley said the plan has changed.

"The development is going well, but we won't see that until probably Austria," he told AUTOSPORT.

More delays at Force India:

Now that Williams have taken their place as the low downforce team, Force India seem to be regressing back to where they were when Mallya took over. A shame.

They seem to be a bit in the situation Sauber was over the last two years. Money being so tight they can't even produce the upgrades they develop.

Yuuuuuuup.

I'm waiting for this to be on his livery.

Indeed.

It's actually interesting to watch and notice that those who touch the kerbs actually slow down too much through the turns, so those who run wide actually go a bit faster. And what happened at that start? Was the red guy the only one watching the lights?

 

[Psychotext]

I'm not convinced they knew how the start actually worked.

Hey guys. Will hijack thw thread a bit. I hope you don't mind

My wife is an artist. And she drew one f1 painting as a gift for me back in 2008.now she's thinking of doing another one and I'd like your help to nominate an f1 moment that's worth drawing

Your help is much appreciated..

I was thinking of Kimi's victory lap at interlagos in 2007 with Kovalienen waving at kimi.

Any suggestions are welcome. Doesn't have to be from the modern era
