It wasn't me (although it probably would have been if the company I work for hadn't gone into administration) but I recently saw pictures of you from a few years back and drat have you lost some weight since then.

Lol so Bernie and Jean only agreed to go back to 2015 rules so it's not official yet and that means we have more time for Bernie and Jean fuckery.

We've seen that story play out a few times before....

be nice wicka posted:and the token restrictions have been greatly reduced for this year and are entirely gone next year. done. Yes, it is gone next year. For this year, we look to be stuck with Mercedes domination. While I applaud the attempt to break out of the cycle of spend even more money to be competitive, the token system was doomed from the start.

The dumb thing with the token thing is that none of the manufacturers actually maxed it out, it's not controlling costs, the manufacturers are doing it on their own. It's just causing massive headaches because nobody can test the engine on the track.

You guy do realise that the token system is in fact being removed for 2017 right? I'd link all the sources for this but googling formula 1 token system 2017 gives 31,000 results. Baiting Wicka for lolz when he posts a fact that we all spent a lot of time discussing in the off season thread isn't cool guys.

Yes tokens are being removed, we'll have 2000hp quad turbo V8s and ground effects in 2017. I'll believe it when the regulations are posted.

They should just allow teams do whatever the gently caress they want, Ferrari wants a V12 2000bhp monster? so be it, Mercedes wants to stick with their current engine? fine by me, Honda wants an electric engine? let them. I don't see the problem, it'd actually be entertaining for once.

I think most people expect it gone, at least it's a rubberstamping job but with the engine restrictions and no in season testing, you're only bringing a maximum of 4 changes a year anyway to races and even then if you gently caress the reliability it's a huge risk. I think this is where customer teams may come in handy. Mercedes can absolutely ask Manor try a new hotness, they will happily trade a couple of grid penalties a year for bleeding edge engines and Mercedes get solid data.

I don't trust a bloody thing in this sport unless it's on paper saying "these are the rules". I desperately want the token thing removed but I also think it's highly likely some party is proposing it as part of an ulterior motive. Every two months something is " going to happen" for 2017, I'm not trusting anything at this point.

This thread is perfectly capable of batshit insanity when it's been too long between races all on it's own, don't really need to manufacture the drama, or get together to wind people up because you know they will crack first tbh. The quali change still has 2 votes to go through guys, there still is time to gently caress this one up me thinks.

I have read a lot of comments that basicly amount to "The racing has been good this year" and while I agree it is better than last year, there really hasn't been much competition for the lead.

Anyone can go to the FIA's website and read the rules. It's one of the nicer things about this sport, you can just go to their website and look up stuff like the listed parts when all the teams were bitching about Haas. It wasn't winding up Wicka it was a genuine "I know it's been said in passing, but where is it in the regs". During the day I'm on my phone cause my work hella locks down the internet otherwise I'd search for it myself.

Mercedes keep loving up their starts, but once they fix that then it's back to boring 1-2s with them lapping the whole field and people getting excited over Max Verstappen passing Bottas for 6th place.

The only team that wants everything to stay exactly as it is are Mercedes and since they provide engines to other teams they can influence their decisions as well.
