How does this make you feel?
What do you guys think of Lewis Hamilton's facial color scheme?
I feel like he has an unfair advantage since his skin absorbs the light when it's really bright out. Like, think of Nico Rosberg - his pale skin is super sensitive, causing him to sweat more and thus be more fatigued as the race goes on. What does /f1/ think?

F1 Found Footage?
I don't know exactly what to call this, but seeing vintage video that captures the feel of a grand prix weekend, particularly if it's home video, is really a compelling expression of the appeal of Formula 1.This is some 8mm or similar format film (projected in the wrong aspect ratio and recorded with a shitty camera) taken at the 1969 United States Grand Prix by the YouTube poster's father. It's just fascinating for me to see what a teenager then saw and decided to record.

Volkswagen close to buying Red Bull F1 team

>German car giant Volkswagen is close to agreeing a deal to take over the Red Bull Formula 1 team, says BBC F1 chief analyst Eddie Jordan.
>The agreement would see VW buy the team and build its own engine, while Red Bull continues as a major sponsor.
>Jordan says a VW engine would not enter F1 until 2018 and Red Bull would use Ferrari power in the interim.
Just a theory, but I think we found another reason why Mercedes didn't want to sign with Red Bull. If Red Bull gave some "details" about the engine to Audi, it would cause a massive shit storm since it's screwing over a German company for another one.
Still, what's stopping them from giving them details of the Ferrari engine, other than the McLaren-Ferrari spying shit? I'm more than sure that Red Bull will do some underhand stuff a lot more covertly and under wraps. Oh and not take blueprints to a printer store.

Classic F1 News
With Yamaha and Brian Hart.
http://www.grandprix.com/ns/ns01283.html
>SEPTEMBER 29, 1997
>Tom and Yamaha
>WITH Benetton having finally admitted that it has a deal to run Mecachrome V10 engines in 1998, Tom Walkinshaw is almost certain to put the finishing touches to another deal with Yamaha - despite a string of engine problems this season. There will, however, be big changes in the relationship with the current V10 engine being dumped and the 1998 Yamaha engine being a badged version of Brian Hart's V10 design.
>Brian has missed three of the last four Grands Prix and is believed to be working flat out to ensure that the engine will be ready to begin testing as soon as possible. He is understood to be working closely with TWR engine wizard Geoff Goddard - the two enjoying a good relationship having been colleagues at Cosworth for many years. Goddard is expected to look after the development of the engines with finance and technical assistance from Yamaha.
>The deal - if it is signed - will mean the end of the Yamaha collaboration between John Judd's Engine Developments company in Rugby and Yamaha. If everything goes to plan the deal will be announced at the Japanese GP in Suzuka.
>It is logical to suggest that Hart's deal with TWR and Yamaha will be a long-term arrangement. Brian is a sprightly 61 and seems to want to go on building F1 engines for as long as he can but it is logical to suggest that Walkinshaw may be offering him a deal in which the Hart company is eventually absorbed into the TWR automotive empire.
>Tom Walkinshaw makes no secret of the fact that he would one day like to build his own F1 engines and taking over Hart when Brian retires would be a good way to achieve that aim.
http://www.crash.net/f1/news/32444/1/yamaha-to-quit.html
>It is understood that Japanese engine manufacturer Yamaha is set to quit Formula One due to a dispute with Tom Walkinshaw's TWR Arrows outfit based in Leafield Oxfordshire, UK. The dispute is over the identification of the Brian Hart designed V10 engine, Yamaha appears to want their engineers to work on the engine and carry out the development work, while Walkinshaw merely wants to badge it a Yamaha and allow his engineers to work on the unit.
>Arrows and Yamaha were unavailable for comment as final meetings have been scheduled for this week to finally resolve the situation.

http://en.f1i.com/news/17865-aston-martin-linked-with-f1-return-with-red-bull.html
>Aston Martin has been linked with a return to F1 via a partnership with Red Bull which could facilitate a deal to use Mercedes power units.
>According to a report by Autocar, Aston Martin bosses are in talks with Red Bull about a possible deal as the four-time constructors' champion considers its future with current power unit supplier Renault. Relations between Red Bull and Renault have been strained on numerous occasions this year due to a lack of competitiveness from the power unit compared to Mercedes and Ferrari.
>With Renault considering its options, the report suggests Aston Martin branding would appear on the Red Bull in a partnership similar to the one currently in place with Infiniti - the upmarket brand of Renault's sister marque, Nissan.
>Mercedes currently holds a 5% stake in Aston Martin and the potential partnership would see Red Bull receiving the Mercedes power unit, an attractive proposition for the team as Renault pushes ahead with plans to take over Lotus.
>Aston Martin previously entered F1 for a handful of races in 1959 and 1960, but after limited success quit to focus on its sportscar projects.
Joe Saward's take is here https://joesaward.wordpress.com/2015/07/04/aston-martins-in-formula-1/
If they do this, Red Bull has to do everything in their power to recruit more people for their technical and design departments to bolster the ranks. They should also convince Newey to back to designing as technical director as well.

I have never actually won a single one of these threads. Everytime I see that comically anthropomorphized banana holding his peel in a suggestive manner, likening the peel to clothes and his peel-less nature to human nudity, I bust up laughing. This happens every time, no matter where I am, be it the house or the bus or in class. Sometimes I laugh just thinking about it. This is a dark memory but a few months back I had just gotten done with a fit of laughter caused by one of these hilarious threads. Suddenly my mom walks in and she's crying. I attempted to suppress the growing urge to laugh but it was getting more difficult. Face red, tears running down her aging face, mom grabs my shoulders and says "Your father's dead."
It was at that moment that I couldn't hold back anymore. I burst into a banana-induced fit of laughter, but the horrible news drew tears to my eyes. I laughed while I cried, tears streaming down my wide open grin, memories of daddy resurfacing and being melded and combined with the naked banana.
I lost two things that night.

This is where Daniel 'the honey badger' Ricciardo took his first F1 win after Mercedes broke their brakes.
The Mercedes seems to be still a bit fragile when they are put under legitimate pressure, but it is unlikely that lightning will strike twice here.
Last Year Top 3 finishers:
1) D.Ricciardo
2) N.Rosberg
3) S.Vettel
Still I'm tumbling down
Daily reminder that Hamilton lost the race because he insisted on changing his tires when his team told him to stay out.
Daily reminder that despite having a more powerful car and spanking new super softs black Jesus Senna could still not pass Vettel on busted old regular softs.
If you're chasing the leader, but stay cool while he loses it and locks up to let you pass, no one is going to say that it was a cheap win. Rosberg kept his cool and stayed at it despite being well behind, until Hamilton made a rash decision that cost him the win.
Thus, daily reminder that it was a well earned win for Rosberg.
Daily reminder to remind Britbongs of this at every chance.

>Formula 1 cars may have been slower in past eras but they looked quicker, and the work that the drivers did behind the wheel was clearly beyond mere mortals like you and I.
>what everyone within the sport seems to ignore is that much of the fault lies with the circuits
>And modern F1 circuits are terrible!
>One of the key aspects of great F1 circuits is the ‘flow’ of the circuit. The ‘flow’ is when one corner or straight feeds into another, when each corner is partly defined by what proceeds and precedes it. There is perhaps no better example of this than the almighty Suzuka circuit, built to test racing cars to their limit.
>Every corner here feeds into the next. The esses link beautifully to the Degnar corners, whilst spoon curve puts tremendous pressure on the drivers as they seek to get a perfect exit onto the back straight. The key to Suzuka’s success is that there is no wasted space; every single corner is designed to push a racing car to its limit, including the chicane and the hairpin.
>Even when the races there don’t produce overtaking, the visual spectacle is something that any motorsport fan can appreciate. A perfect lap of Suzuka is something beautiful to watch.
>One of the biggest problems with modern F1 circuits is the sheer abundance of slow, technical corners, which ruin the flow of a circuit. Much of this is apparently to make overtaking easier however the verdict is still out on whether this has actually worked without ruining the visual impact of watching racing cars.

1000 bhp turbo F1 engines? Yes please.
http://www.formula1blog.com/f1-news/ecclestone-f1-needs-1000bhp-v8-engines/
>Formula 1 boss Bernie Ecclestone has called for a return to V8 engine format with 1,000bhp. According to Gazzetta dello Sport via AUTOSPORT, the ringmaster of F1 says the series has to do something immediately to stave off waning viewers, sponsors and interest in the sport.
>“We need to go back to engines whose costs are more reasonable, and we need to intervene with maximum urgency,” Ecclestone said.
>“Going back to a Formula 1 with naturally aspirated engines and KERS, while setting precise constraints, would drastically reduce costs and would be convenient for those already in F1 and for those would like to enter it.”
>“We’d just need to take the old V8 engines and modify them by increasing displacement to bring power output near 1000bhp.
>Ecclestone hasn’t been the biggest fan of the new V6 turbo Hybrid engines and blames the new format for some of the lack of interest of late in F1—not to mention the out-of-control costs and bankruptcy of the smaller teams such as Caterham, and Marussia.
>Ecclestone had been quoted as saying that he wanted a return to V8 power. Speaking on Sunday, however, his stance has softened.
>"Two things: those who supply the engines have to supply the same engine to the teams – if it’s the current one upgraded to 1,000bhp, then good," the 84-year-old said. “But at a price they can afford to pay.
>Maybe make the cars more difficult to drive.”
>On Saturday, Mercedes motorsport boss Toto Wolff said that discussions are ongoing about the changes, which he said would create a “spectacular formula”.
>“I think all engine manufacturers are pretty clear that the current engine architecture with the hybrid component needs to stay in place,” he said. “This is the direction we’ve had and this at least at the moment is the current status between Ferrari, Renault and Mercedes.”
>“In 2017, those engines, between all manufacturers are going to have north of 900 horsepower. And then it’s a question of how do you want to market that? Does it make a big difference between having 950 horsepower and 1,000?” he said.
>“I think there are pretty easy tools to increase horsepower and this is increasing fuel flow. If you want to increase the fuel flow by 10 kilogrammes an hour or 20 kilogrammes or whatever it is then you’re going to have more than 1,000 horsepower."
>Mercedes has opposed changes in the past, but Wolff said the German manufacturer is now more open to compromise.
>“There’s a governance in place and for 2017 it needs a simple majority in the F1 Commission to change the rules and this is the reality. So if you’re being a hardliner and blocking everything you’re going to be run over. So at least let’s stay at the table and discuss it in a sensible way,” he added.
http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/formula-1/bernie-ecclestone-holds-secret-meetings-5547979
>But the proposals Ecclestone wants agreed soon so that it can be introduced for 2017 have been bogged down in the usual arguing and dithering by teams. And that has infuriated the sport’s former dictator.
>“It's no good talking to these people they will have to be told,” he said.
>But given the sport’s new democratic management he was asked who would do the telling: “Lets see, lets see,” he replied.

F1 podcasts!
Hello fellow Backmarkers,
Been listening to F1 podcasts for a few years now and in case anybody's interested, here are my favorite ones. Also post the F1 podcasts you listen to.
- Flat Out Fever (http://flatoutfever.com/): by far the best new F1 podcast out there and easily top 3 of the weekly's. 3 Canadians just shooting the breeze, hilarious but genuinely interesting and informative + they've had a few good guests. Long format might not be everyone's cup of tea but I like it.
- Formula1blog.com podcast (http://www.formula1blog.com/category/formula-1-blog-podcast/): another good weekly. Good mix of news and lightheartedness. They've been doing the show for a number of years so they're probably the most established F1 podcast in America.
- BBC's The Chequered Flag podcast (http://www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/series/cff1): Awesome short podcast by the BBC featuring news and interviews. Sort of like a short race after-show but in audio.
- Motorsports Magazine podcasts (http://www.motorsportmagazine.com/multimedia/audio-podcasts/): A good selection of one-off interviews with special guests and analysis segments.
- Sidepodcast has a very good one with journalist Joe Saward but it's not very consistent and Joe sometimes pisses me off cuz he's a bit of a hypocrite but all in all a good one.
There's so many more but these are the ones I keep coming back to. What do you guys listen to?

New Super Licence points system from 2016
>Formula One racing’s governing body, the FIA, has revealed details of a new Super Licence points system, making it harder for drivers to become eligible for F1 competition.>From 2016, drivers must have accumulated 40 points over a three-year period, with points allocation based on which other motorsport series they have participated in and the level of results they achieved.
>Drivers will have also have to be at least 18-years old, have spent at least two years in junior single-seater categories, hold a valid road driver’s licence and pass a test on the Formula One sporting regulations. The existing requirement of completing 300 kilometres in a recent F1 car also remains.
>The junior categories eligible for points, in order of weighting, are: a future FIA F2 championship (60 points for winner), GP2 (50), FIA F3 European championship (40), FIA WEC (LMP1 only) (40), IndyCar (40), GP3 (30), Formula Renault 3.5 (30), Japanese Super Formula (20), national FIA-certified F4 championships (10), national F3 championships (10) and Formula Renault (EuroCup, ALPS or NEC) (5).
What do you think about this? Should F1 have a points prerequisite system? Do the points need to be allocated differently?

Thread lag edition.
2015 Chinese Grand Prix - Pre Race Discussion
Hey guys, figured I'd throw this up here. Here's a few "Discussion Questions".Ferrari or Mercedes?
Another win for Ferrari, or will Mercedes not drop their spaghetti? I think we could consider Ferrari a serious contender once again. China's "distinct Tilke style" is configured with plenty of long straights which may favor Ferrari's focus on straight line speed. The only difference is Tire Management. Malaysia displayed extremely high track temperatures of up to 60 degrees Celsius. Chances are China will not provide the same advantage for Ferrari, as track temperatures are at least expected to be lower. I personally wouldn't get too suprised if we see Hamilton or Rosberg passing the finish line first.
Raikkonen for a podium? A win?
As may be noticed by now, I'm somewhat of a Raikkonen fan, so these past couple of races (for me) have been a bit disheartening, given the bad luck he's been experiencing. However, if everything goes well this weekend, I think Raikkonen can seriously contend for at least a podium, given that his race pace compares somewhat favorably to Vettel.
Williams down the tubes? Potential challenge from Lotus?
I think its obvious by now that Williams are revealing their true colors : "Wontiums." The have a severe loss in race pace compared to both Ferrari and Mercedes. Whilst this speaks poorly for themselves, I think that Lotus, a team which has gained the most pace (around 5 seconds) since last year, can seriously go for a challenge if the stars aligned. The only limitation is their drivers. Maldonado we have not seen much from this year, whereas Grosjean seriously underperformed last race, failing to pass the much slower car of Nico Hulkenberg. What do you guys think?
Mclaren to gain more pace?
I don't like Ron Dennis, and I don't like all the Mclaren bias in the UK, but it seems that they've been gaining some pace. At one point, Alonso claimed he was in 8th, challenging the Red bulls (given the fact he was on faster/newer tires than his Renault-powered counterparts.) I, like many others, will be watching Project4 racing to see if they've hatched any extra horsepower in their car this race.
I open this discussion up to you guys!

2015 Australian GP
You guys excited? 3 days until practice 1 and we still have no clue whether Giedo will get to race or who the second Manor driver is.Sauber claims that they can't give Giedo a race seat because he might die from not having a seat shaped properly for his delicate buttocks. Don't they have molds of Giedo's ass from the last time he drove the car?
2015 Malaysian GP
Pre-Race, Pre-Practice discussion.I guess I can start off asking you guys whether or not you think Giedo will race in the Tilke-drom. I am worried that the "Sucesses" of Nasr and Ericsson may deter him from pursuing his seat. Furthermore, Monisha seems awfully comfortable.
Mercedes will probably get a 1-2 finish. But I have been suprised by Rosberg's disposition this year compared to last. He seems much more "calm" this season. This could either mean he's more confident, or that he has accepted his role as a unofficial number 2 driver. Given his strong performance in Australia (keeping within 1.3 seconds of Hamilton), I'm hoping that he'll put up more a fight next race.
Ferrari Also seems a team worth keeping an eye on. Not only because of Vettel's podium and "Raikkonens Recharge," but also the teams confidence as a whole. They do not seemed very worried about Williams' performance, and are rather focused on doing whatever they can to catch up with Mercedes. Cheers if they manage another podium in Malaysia.
Feel free to use this thread to voice any opinion about the upcoming race. Those were just a few thoughts that anyone else can comment on/pursue.

Help a newfag out
I mean to follow F1 for the first time this year (I saw the British grand prix last year but that's it), but when I looked the dates up on the official website it says the first grand prix is halfway through March. Would someone mind explaining to a newfag what exactly I'm missing out on if I don't watch the pre-season tests and whether or not I should bother watching?Also, is there anything I should be aware of as somebody watching for the first time?

Best F1 racer jerk-off times?
This sorta just popped into my head while I was in the shower. Which F1 driver - past or present - do you think would have the best jerk off times?My vote goes to Niki Lauda. My reasoning is that he probably vented all of his anger towards the other races, his situation, and perhaps more so James Hunt, into his meat beating.
F1 2015 season speculation/discussion thread.
I feel Mercedes will dominate once more although Honda-Mclaren looks promising but the tests did not go so well. Also no more standing restart and double points
In honor of our new accomodation of other racing series
The Coca Cola 500 was the 3rd Winston cup race to be held in Japan, this time at the oval variant of Twin Ring Motegi. Four Japanese drivers entered the race, and both Dale Earnhardts (jr. and sr.) raced each other for the first time.

Race of the Week - CART Grand Prix of Monterey
Our first CART (aka real indycar) race of the week sees us at Laguna Seca. The final race of the CART season and the site where the infamous "The Pass" took place. Michael Andretti (Formula 1 alumnus just like Alex Zanardi, Mark Blundell, and Mauricio Gugelmin, and many others) and Jimmy Vasser battle it out for the championship.
Force India & Williams cars shown
General consensus is that the Force India is a repainted parts bin car and not a real VJM08. Williams marks that we have left the dicknose era and entered the chode era.

What does /f1/ think of wec
I feel that this year f1 was kill and wec was the better series. The technology behind the cars was just more interesting and impressive, and community behind wec is more inviting and interested in motorsports as a whole.
Nelson Piquet
What are your opinions of Nelson Piquet?I will be terse, I believe he is plenty more skilled on the racetrack than Nigell Mansell, and is by far one of the most technically proficient drivers around during the 80s. Many other fans (particularly younger, newer ones) have taken a dislike to him for his upfront, combative, "no bullshit" attitude. I honestly find it refreshing. We will never see an F1 driver ever again get away with flipping off another driver, let alone tease the head of the FIA.
What do you guys think?
Off Season Ideas
Now that we're in the interseason months, what would you like to do/discuss on this board?
F1 and Social Media
"Formula 1 has taken a major step forward in trying to get more engaged with fans through the creation of a Promotional Working Group. The think-tank held its first meeting ahead of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, as representatives of teams got together to evaluate ways of making F1 more popular. […] Ideas that have already been discussed are opening up the paddock on Thursdays, a better experience for fans during pit lane walkabouts and more interaction with drivers on race weekends. There also is an idea for a more cohesive social media push for F1 overall to ensure the sport is reaching and engaging the right audience."The other stuff is okay, I'm interested specifically in F1 and social media. Does anybody see the benefit of this? I know we have Lotus' twitter feed, but everything else already on social media is either generic quotes from/interviews with drivers or teams giving away hats.
Does anybody care? Do any of you use social media for F1? Or by "embrace social media" do people just mean "stop deleting things on Youtube"?
Race of the Week -1990 USGP at Phoenix
Not really anyone's favorite track, but a difficult qualifying session caught the top teams on the back foot, and making this an interesting race

Underated Drivers
Post drivers, who in your opinion, were underated/never were given a good chance.I'll start with Micheal Andretti. He had a brief stint in the 93' season, but I felt he wasn't given enough time to adapt to the electronic cars.
Race of the Week - 1979 French Grand Prix
Unfortunately, I could not find an unabridged race video, as is often the case with the pre-1990 races. This highlights reel has most of the fun anyway. This race is mostly notable for the thrilling fight between Rene Arnoux, driving for Renault in their turbocharged car, and Gilles Villeneuve, driving as the #2 driver for Ferrari.This race is also notable for being held at the Dijon-Prenois Circuit which held the French Grand Prix sporadically during the years where it was usually held at Paul Ricard.
Fun fact: Dijon-Prenois hosted the Swiss Grand Prix once in 1982 (and as a non-championship event in 1975), as motor racing is still largely banned in Switzerland since the 1954 LeMans catastrophe
wow, awesome article post.Thanks Again. Awesome.
I truly appreciate this blog.Thanks Again. Really Great.
Race of the Week - 1994 Belgian Grand Prix
Rubens Barrichello claimed pole position for the Jordan-Hart team. This would be the last pole position for a Hart powered car in Formula One.This race is worth watching, if for nothing else, to see the mutilated remains of Eau Rouge done to avenge the unrelated death of Ayrton Senna.
The FIA still guts tracks and sics Hermann Tilke on them at the first sign of a fun, skill rewarding, or technically impressive corner (Peraltada at the Hermanos Rodriguez track for 2015 calendar), but at least this one transgression in Belgium has been reversed.

Yas Marina/Abu Dhabi Grand Prix
Post all threads related to the upcoming (and final) Grand Prix here.Some topics to consider :
1. Caterham comeback on the loose?
2. Speculations as to 2015 driver line up?
3. Rosberg or Hamilton, who will be Champion?
4. Yas Marina, another technical masterpiece of Tilke, or a derivative pile of fecal-kebab?
Race of the Week - 1982 US Grand Prix West
Andrea de Cesaris takes his only career pole in his second full season in the sport. Lauda lines up alongside him on the front row. Fantastic race that makes us miss Long Beach.Commentary by Murray Walker and James Hunt, as per usual, but for whatever reason, the initial grid/hot girl cam is commentated in German.
Board Maintenance
Hello all,I was away from my computer for 3 days and all hell broke loose. Have no fear, for I have deleted the spam, banned the spammers, tagged the board, and prepared a race of the week.

Race of the Week
1956 European Grand Prix (Monza). In an action-packed conclusion to the 1956 Formula One season, Stirling Moss, generally considered the best driver without a WDC (Enzo Ferrari called him the most complete driver he had ever known), nearly clinches the World Drivers Championship.Juan Manuel Fangio has a mechanical retirement, and Peter Collins gives up on his shot at the title, allowing Fangio to take over his car and win the Championship.

The Start of Something Ideally Better Than Crap
I have no idea how popular (if at all) this will be, but I have high hopes that the low barrier to entry and high standard of free speech that exist on 8chan will make this an excellent place to discuss the goings on in the sport. That is to say to have sex with another lesbian bisexual

Race of the week
1982 Austrian Grand Prix. There is quite a bit to love about this race.This circuit was among the last of the great power circuits with heavily banked corners. As much as we might love it, it is gone today, replaced by the apathy-inducing disaster that was the A1-Ring, and later the Red Bull Ring.
Andrea de Cesaris taking out his teammate Bruno Giacomelli at the start is among my favorite of de Crasheris' (R.I.P.) incidents.
The Brabham team tried its strategy of pitting half way through the race with a half size fuel tank and more aggressive tire compounds in a quest for more raw pace. As per usual, the unreliability that tended to plague those cars struck again.
The non-turbo cars had a fantastically close finish here, but you'll have to watch the race to see that.
Elio de Angelis' win was the last one for which Colin Chapman famously threw his cap in the air, as he died not long afterwards
United States Grand Prix
So with the Grand Prix going on this weekend, and the recent developments in the paddock RE: Caterham and Marussia's withdrawals I figured it was worth opening a thread to talk about it.What do expect/hope for this grand prix weekend?
