Reminder to all Rosberg fans in this thread (almost everyone) that his endgame is to steal F1 from Bernie and rewrite all the rules so it becomes a feeder series to DTM where races are replaced by "PR events" in which sponsors award points to the drivers with the least talent and Silverstone is burned down.

I'm so disappointed in Ricciardo and Coulthard

That looks rad as gently caress. Water an oil won't be a problem, I'm sure there is some coating, or rotating screen (like the cameras), or something that can be applied to solve this problem. Dirty, inaccessible windshields are a problem in too many industries for there to not be a solution to it already.

Newey already designed the ultimate F1 car, I don't know why they are beating around the bush here.

No one cares but the guy all the way in the back is an injured supercross factory Kawasaki rider Wil Hahn, most notably known for being a nice guy who's injured all the time.

This is how his season was ended this year:

Also, if visibility wasn't bad enough through one rain-splattered visor how bad will it trying to see through two?

Surely the windshield will stop rain and oil from getting on the visor?

I think we can all agree that this is the direction F1 should be heading:

First live F1 race. Better not loving dump rain like last year.

Yeah I bought my tickets a couple weeks back. But I'm a poor so I have GA tickets.

I've only gone to a race with other people, like, twice. Way better to go solo IMO. I get to stay as long as I want to indulge my autistic tendencies.

Yeah I'm using mine as a solo trip since I plan on going to all the practice sessions and poo poo. My wife would just take my three year old around Austin.

I'll just send them to Disney land or something

You really really don't want to convince people who are not into racing to come along with you to a race weekend even if they make mutterings about wanting to see Taylor Swift. They don't understand why you would want to be on time for stuff like free practice or the fan forums and bitch and moan about how boring they are and dude can we not go get drunk why would you want to see this. Plenty of people will be flying solo and little groups tend to form up, or you get brought into whatever group is sat next to you in the stands.

When it was bonkers loud you just sit on your rear end with hearing protection on, mostly wondering what the gently caress is going on unless you're in front of a track tv at which point you wonder why you're not watching from the couch at home.

Now that they're quiet you can talk during the race so you normally end up making friends with people around you.

I'm gonna go this year to Austin, just need to buy tickets. Me and my dad would love to see a race live and after his bout with lung cancer earlier in the year we think its better to get on it than wait.

My family is only interested in 3 things:

- money
- Arguing with each other for literally any reason
- reality television/celebrities.

My dad also likes the CFL, and muscle cars.

There is not a worse group of people to take to a race.
