It seems to me that Williams has changed engine suppliers more than any team I can think of. Ford-Cosworth, Honda, Judd, Renault, BMW, Cosworth (again), Toyota, Cosworth (again), Renault and now Mercedes. I'm sure I'm missing some, but wow.

Williams were with Mercedes in 2015. 2014, too.

Yeah:

[Scottify]

Right, right, I did forget about 2014. But still, that's a lot of engine manufacturer changes.

 

[Jezbollah]

Also, Mechachrome.

 

[Aiii]

Mechachrome were just rebranded Renault's, not sure that counts.

 

[Cheeseman Battitude]

Fucking Villeneuve has left Formula E.

 

[Jezbollah]

Fucking Villeneuve has left Formula E.

Sounds about right. He should just not bother anymore.

 

[DrM]

Bernie is the main star of Kitzbuehl downhill today. Lauda and Berger are also there

 

[tomtom94]

Fucking Villeneuve has left Formula E.

They had a "difference of opinion regarding the future direction of the team".

History repeats itself...itself...itself

ALTERNATE PUNCHLINE

Venturi: "We had different opinions on the future direction of the team. We believe it would be best spent out of the barriers."

Friendly reminder that the Prost vs Senna Race Off is in 1 hour and 15 minutes.

[Tempy]

Amused to see Jann Mardenborough amongst the finalists.

 

[Tempy]

lol, Prost and Senna get to use wheels, and everybody else has to stick with a gamepad.

 

[Tempy]

That's the problem with vidyagames. There's no real penalty to be super aggressive and ram your opponents.

 

[Megasoum]

Yes Mr CEO... Forza 6... The Most E-Sports of the E-Sports lol


EDIT: HOLLLYYY SHITTTT The cringe.... No lady... Ayrton Senna is not here today... What. The. Fuck.

 

[Wax Free Vanilla]

Honda have gained 223bhp according to Alonso's mouthpiece at AS.

Rocketship.

Does this mean they have reached half of the Mercedes power unit?

These particular horses are old, have only three legs and haven't eaten in a week?

Took me a second to work out that image... what the fuck. I really like that corner as is.

 

[Ark]

From what I can tell, it's for bikes?

Not sure why Vettel would have commented on it then. Odd.

 

[xrnzaaas]

OMG first they castrated Parabolica by adding tarmac and now this? Someone in F1 really doesn't like Monza. :/

 

[Big Takeover]

Take out Della Roggia, and I'll buy what they're selling. Otherwise, I see no purpose.

 

[marvelharvey]

Add a couple more mid-straight chicanes and we've got ourselves a Formula-E circuit.

 

[SCHUEY F1]

Leave Monza alone. I miss the old Hockenhiem too.

 

[DrM]

Chicane right before Parabolica would be awesome

or right before pit entry

 

[Jezbollah]

Because a lot of F1 drivers watch Motorcycle racing?

He said he'd tried it on the simulator.

 

[Tempy]

Paul Ricard getting wet.

 

[brotkasten]

Paul Ricard getting wet.

Bernie gets to test his sprinklers.

Fantastic.

 

[Tempy]

Fantastic.

Well, there is a Pirelli wet tyre test going on today and tomorrow. Only Red Bull, Ferrari, and McLaren though.

 

[ramparter]

Heard you liked chicanes so we put a chicane before a chicane? Seriously why? This will only limit the chances for overtakes at this part of track.

 

[brotkasten]

In other (non) news:

Refueling is once again out (because it's too expensive)
Ferrari passes the crash test with their new car (tested multiple noses, mix between Toro Rosso and Mercedes)
Pat fry joins Manor (good luck)

 

[Aiii]

 

[xrnzaaas]

Verstappen seems to be the hottest guy in there.

 

[brotkasten]

The last picture of them, before they fought for the 2017 Red Bull seats.

 

[Aiii]

It does show just how much Red Bull brings to F1, what a tremendous collection of talent in between those guys.

 

[bobnowhere]

I still maintain Marques is the illegitimate son of Jacky Ickx!

 

[PdotMichael]

Bernie gets to test his sprinklers.

Fantastic.

´Too bad we would get an instant safety car phase until the end of the race.

 

[brotkasten]

As much as I'm tired of their whining, there's no denying that their young drivers academy brings good talent into the sport. And unlike the Ferrari and McLaren programs, their drivers usually make it into F1.

Bernie's dream coming into (almost) reality.

 

[Icefire1424]

Good news to all F1 fans out there - at an upcoming auction you will have the opportunity to purchase an actual F1 car. One of four available, all which have raced in the championship.

Bad news? It's a Marussia. None of which have ever registered a single championship point.

Its still an F1 car.

That's like saying you wouldn't date a Miss Universe Entrant because she never placed in the top 10.

 

[jey_16]

the livery on the Red Bull's is different there isn't it? No Infiniti branding/purple

but it has no engine

no refueling is fucking utter shit, and since when is anything to expensive for F1. Lawls the fake reasons. Continue to be boring F1 continue.

Why do you want refueling to return? Other than the usual "F1 used to be better when X."

 

[theignoramus]

Refueling belongs to a part of the era when the races were a series of hard sprints, such as the late 90s duals between Hakkinen/Mclaren and Schumacher/Ferrari. (Though people forget that that era also included an emphasis on overtakes by way of pit strategy, totally different tyre philosophies and some truly woeful cars at the back and middle of the grid)
