Also everyone classified around him was driving Toyota engines, the next best guy driving a Honda was 8th. His teammate was 9th. He did fine. And I guess if strudel is poo poo, Alonso is terrible? He's below him in the standings after all!

That's the part I'm having trouble with, a man named Bertrand Baguette who's NOT from France.

The engine reliability thing should be scrapped. It's just Mercedes posturing because it discourages the opposition from trying new concepts.

I'm trying to think of a circumstance where a cost control provision actually reduced the total amount of money the teams spent. It always seems like they just spend the money elsewhere.

It always seems like they just spend the money elsewhere. Probably because the FIA do retarded poo poo like cite cost concerns and then change the engine formula to something overly complex and thus more expensive to develop and manufacture. Whilst the fuckos in Paris fiddle, the privateer teams - of which F1 has a proud history - burn.

It's interesting that the engine reliability thing is almost never a thing in MotoGP. They have similar restrictions on how many engines per season etc but they just never blow up. And those dudes do burnouts and poo poo all the time when they win.

To be fair those engines are only 0.6L smaller and put out like the quarter of the power of F1 engines, I don't think they're under as much strain.

LOL HONDA and all that but moving to current spec engines instead of year old Ferrari ones is a good gamble for Sauber. Staying as is means they are going to be fighting to get a single point or whatever basically forever.

Anyone happen to watch the interview of Are Bernard on Top Gear the other day? He described what his title with Liberty means as follows:Overlord Bernie posted:It's a bit like like giving a hit-man a gun, and no bullets. But, I've got enough money to buy the bullets. Vintage Bernie

The best thing in the Motorsport article about Sauber's Honda switch is how apparently they are fed up with Ferraris unreliability and performance. ......Ahahahaha I'm sure Alonso would love to have a 2016 spec Ferrari engine in that McLaren right now.

Man, what's with Paul "Smallface" Tracy in that pic? I haven't seen him in a while, but it sure looks like he's packed on a few. That, the blank stare, and the pink complexion make him look like Rob Ford tuning out allegations of crack smoking. NtotheTC posted:Watching the press conference Alonso didn't look at all excited or happy to be there. I think it's hit home that running the 500 involves being in the US for extended periods of time. He's probably understandably underwhelmed after being dropped off in some backwoods rural American nothing-town. I can only imagine his accommodations.

Honestly, much of NASCAR going backwards can be attributed to Indy's split. They capitalized on it to become the king of US racing, and once it became apparent that people wouldn't stick around, they started changing things to try to sustain it, like abandoning historic tracks for cookie cutter 1.5 tri-ovals in urban environments and poo poo. Basically they tried to chase the short term instead of focusing on the long term, and now it's really biting them.
