Nowt wrong with being able to wear a crown all day without it being weird.  We also drink Buck's Fizz (champagne and orange juice) at breakfast.

Only a few more days till the second most boring driver announcement of the year, the first being that whirrline has signed for sauber. Don't worry everyone! Ferrari have a foolproof plan for winning that 2017 WCC! http://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/analysis-ferrari-tipped-for-new-livery-new-engine-tech-in-f1-2017-862449/

But the whole thing was that Felipe wasn't staying cool and had to be told to do so by Smedley....

Is anyone following MotoGP this year btw? Probably the series I'm looking forward to the most, 2015 and 2016 were great and now we just had a crazy silly season. Tipping Vinales to be the champ (if Marquez is the next Rossi, Vinales is totally the next boring-rear end Lorenzo who will make the sport boring again)

I am, caught a race in 2015, started really watching it this year and it's just been god drat fantastic to watch every race. Can't make heads or tails of Vinales but he seems capable and Rossi seemed to want a more passive teammate.

I hope Iannone does well with Suzuki, him getting sacked from Ducati was harsh and made me wonder if they just wanted a steady #2 like Dovizioso for Lorenzo. Suzuki is historically my favorite bike manufacturer so I'm hoping the combo succeeds. New manufacturer in the sport too, KTM looks like they're serious, and there's always the bike GP tradition of laughing at Aprilia's latest effort to try and compete in the top class.

Aprilia's repeated failures to be a 500cc/MotoGP manufacturer are almost Alfa-like. They are really really bad at big bikes (except they're good at Superbike too, it's just MotoGP they suck at)

Suzuki looked like they were starting to get their poo poo together by the end of the season. I've got close to zero context on the history of the sport beyond being really interested on the two stroke engine designs so it's tough to hold any expectations of any manufacturer myself. Iannone did look like the better of the two ducati riders for most the year though.

Wirth1000 posted:Yeah, I'm surprised no one watches Channel 4. Also, I have a feeling Liberty is going to take a good look at Dorna and how they do the amazing MotoGP online streaming service and copy that. Is there actually much incentive to copy that when they have a load of TV revenue that a move like that could sabotage though? I'm not sure what the revenue is like in other countries, but I remember when Sky secured exclusive rights last year the figures mentioned were insane, way bigger than what they were getting in the BBC days.

F1 is objectively way less entertaining than MotoGP. Just look at the parc ferme celebrations in the two to see. But there's more money in F1 so we all have to pay attention to it.

But the latter half of this year and especially when Rosberg said, "gently caress you! Got mine!" and retired, I kind of had been building a shift of perspective on him. Maybe it's because he has been generally quieter this year and had more focused on driving (or he's always been like this and I just didn't notice), but despite his winning exclamations being a little cheesy, I think he was genuinely that excited to win every race that he did.
