Decision: No Further Action.

Reason: Car 5 had a puncture at turn 1 and lost the rubber of the tyre at turn 13. After reviewing

the video footage the stewards agreed with the driver’s reason for leaving the track.

>>27675

Wow. and what about your hero ayrton senna you cunt?

It's illegal to change gear ratios in season for "cost cutting purposes".

Think about how much a gear costs and how fucking retarded that rule is.

>>27681

A single gear might not be much but you have to test out all kinds of crazy ratios in order to get the most out of every race weekend. As far as costs are concerned, it's not a concern. It's more an attempt to make the racing itself more "interesting".

>that capitalization

>those spaces before periods

what kind of weird autocomplete does he have?

>>27682

I recognize that its another misguided effort to make the racing not suck, but it is to be noted that the official reason is to cut costs.

>>27687

Also they claim that banning tire blankets would cut costs which is even more preposterous.

>>27679

>>27685

nm figured it out

>>27689

That would actually make a lot of sense.

>Ted apologizes for a slight as fuck mispronunciation of "Verstappen"

>Croft continues to say "Daniel Fiat"

>>27691

No i'm fine with that, just not on Hamilton's dog.

Fuck Roscoe and the other bitch

>>27697

I would imagine that even though the BBC are biased as hell, they have a style guide that would keep them using last names.

>so is the Enstone takeover not happening? leddit on suicide watch

It's sounded like that for a while now. They previously claimed that they were waiting for Renault to sign a driver, but now they've chosen jolyon for his experience and money. Rumored that Magnussen is linked to a reserve seat and that saxo bank will become title sponsor if that happens. Looks like Renault deal is less likely by the minute.

>>27703

That bothered me too.

>>27707

Thank god.

If the psychiatrists come they'll go for you first.

>>27707

dude wat

>>27707

I can fap to this!

>>27707

this is fucking weird but that is a sweet pair of tits

>>27710

I wasn't aware there were exceptions in your mind.

>>27707

those tits are A-Okay.

>>27707

those tits are A-Okay.

>>27724

That graffiti car silhouette is better looking than today's cars.

>>27737

>implying that is wasn't designed with the help of several artists commissioned by his PR team

>>27738

That only makes it more embarrassing that the fia can't do it even with practically spec cars.

Finally got to watch the race.

Already had flashes of finland-loses.jpg after the Episode IV: Valtteri strikes back meme battle of him and gimmick but at least one got to the podium. Meme master is really sad sight as of late (not even so late) tbh

Vetlel had such a messy and weird race.

Track looked nice and crowd was amazing, which made the mediocre race better.

Hamilton was subtly dick after the race. I wish he would've gone full choco senna and refuse to pit when mercs got worried about the tyres to get some drama.

3/5 didn't taste salami

>>27707

what a time to be alive

>>27741

Although the most surprising event was Crofty being able to make some good banter, when they followed Ricciardo passing someone with Horner and Brundle said: "I thought you'd cheer and dance" And Horner said: "My name is not Arrivabene" to which Crofty replied: "If it was you'd have sorted out those engines already."

>we forgot F1 cars are actually powerful

http://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/renault-decides-not-to-adopt-ilmor-prototype-option/

Renault too egotistical to allow Ilmor to fix their engine

>Renault F1's managing director Cyril Abiteboul said that while he welcomed the help from Illien, his company would not be adopting his design in full.

>"I think collaboration is good,” Abiteboul told Motorsport.com. “It is good to work with people outside, because there is no way you can improve inside if you do not put yourself in competition but also in partnership with people that are outside. So first – it is good to get an external look, and support and feedback.

>>27749

didn't they alrea-

>2015-08-11

oh. I wonder if it will come up again if red bull gets the "unbranded" renault

unbranded meaning they haven't agreed what brand it yet

>>27745

err Mexico I think it was your country

>>27751

well fuck then, nothing i can do

>so yeah i wanna report some vandalism

>police laughs before the whole country is vandalism
