Don't worry guys, Ron knows the guy who drives the crane.

I'm going to cry this year, probably. Supposed to get the most competitive season in years but I bet the only non merc wins are Hungary & Singapore.

Wild prediction.

Lewis is going to gently caress up his start which will force Young Max to go wide and smack into the side of a slow starting Are Dan.

Far as we can tell Clare deals with media/sponsors/corporate bullshit and Pat does all the actual car stuff and both get orders from Frank.

Just before Sky stopped broadcasting, Rob Smedley called Massa poo poo. And he didn't even really try and hide it. "Yeh, we in the team got everything right, Massa hosed that up and we have to talk about why". Happy redundancy slip.

Rob Smedley is far more important to Williams than Massa, he was a huge part of why Massa got the seat in the first place.

I don't know Rob, maybe you shouldn't leave it to your drivers pulling a time out of their arses in amongst traffic when every other car is making it's final run. The team are at just as much fault as the driver because it's all too commonplace for Williams to utterly gently caress it all up these days. Massa has been poo poo recently anyway so I don't care if he goes. Bring his son in or something.

If it looked like I meant that the other way around, totally agree with you, Massa is not going to be there after this year.

Sky think it's to do with not having this new type of engine injection thingie, Renault Works are supposed to be upgrading to it next race, Red Bull have it this race because it's (renault's) Mario Illien designed ( and the reason Red Bull and Renault will be together again next year) so it will only be Honda who are essentially a generation behind.

Honda already said the entire package is hosed, and getting reworked in 2017.

Only hope is them not screwing it up again.

It's all way above my head but from what they are saying it's that car makers have been trying to invent this new super engine which works spark plugs and fuel in a revolutionary way for the last 20 years, and F1 managed it in 3. Honda are basically using a old V6 design with the hybrid stuff tacked on and you may as well call it 20 year old technology at this point it's so far behind.

Red Bull were that far behind last race, and now this race they are at the development level on the V6 part of the engine that Mercedes were in 2014, plus all that development in the hybrid stuff and aero in their pocket, along with better reliability than Mercedes and Ferrari. It's not out of the realm of possibility that from this point on they whomp the ferrari and start legit winning in the second half of the season.

e: ironically it was Renault refusing to put Illien's super new injection thingie in the engine last year which caused a lot of the bitching and fights.

Even Red Bull drivers know they are a gaggle of cocks, I bet young Max only signed his big boy contract because as he's 18 now it means he can cut his dad out of everything and tell him to gently caress off.
