Brah shes not even that hyper-attractive in a fake way. Does seeing any woman thats not a fat trans-woman send you into some kind of rant about the photoshop patriarchy or something?

Shes pretty, her knee is pressing onto her thigh, let it go.

Huh? I know how to use photoshop to edit flaws out of photographs, and once you know the signs you see it everywhere, bad photoshop is just grating is all. It's really not just about the position of her knee, her ankle is also bad. It could have been done because Williams wanted something on the car shopped out and her leg suffered rather than the other way round. I'm not even sure which exact car that is, shouldn't that decal come with visible rear suspension and/or carbon fibre above the barge board?

I don't see how Bottas is desirable. Has he had any impressive drives. Like at all?

There was that one a few years ago, I forget what he did, but he did it.

All I can remember is he got a podium once, and might have won another race if Williams let him pass old man Massa instead of lolly gagging around before saying he was allowed to. A real driver would have passed Massa anyway, orders or not.

Bottas is one of those drivers that showed up and everyone was like "wow, this guy's pretty quick, he could be good one day" and then he just never got any better.

Yeah, a #2 driver.
Thing is williams need him to develop the car as he is a known quantity. They have to start from scratch with another driver as it is.

And Stroll is probably not good anyway. I think the only way Mercedes gets Bottas is if they replace Bottas with someone more experienced than Wehrlein.

They could always do something like promote Gary Paffett from the test drivers role. He's got plenty of experience working as McLaren's test driver and then Williams' test driver.

Isn't a "test driver" more of a ceremonial role these days as bugger all testing allowed? :v:
Mainly though paffett still a gamble on how he would travel through a whole season even if he can run decent lap times to massa or bottas.

Shame that massa retired (never thought I'd say that).
But williams could have got lucky, got rid of bottas and made bank from merc, keeping massa for a year while finding out if stroll sucks or not.

Wouldn't Honda want to have customer teams? both as a source of income and to put more Kms on that engine.

I don't know why/how McLaren got veto power over that issue since Honda are the ones investing so much money and at least currently getting nothing back but people laughing at them.

Isn't the veto clause technically unenforceable anyway?

Probably, but nonetheless I think it's reasonable to be optimistic about Honda's future if a team that won four straight titles very recently was willing to put their faith in them.

Honda was basically their only option outside of Renault, who they spent half the year bitching to the press about. I think they liked Honda only to the extent that they needed an engine from someone to put into their race car.

I think it says somewhere in the rules that Honda has to supply more than one team, problem is nobody wants it or cares.
