hahaha omg

like is this the troll Tony thread? French food is rubbish? What the gently caress.. Americans and English telling the French they can't cook.. THE WORST THREAD. I don't know how you guys manage to do it but you can rile me up pretty much with every drat thing you say. It's all so loving stupid.

Go to Nice or Calais and have a quiche. Then jump on the ferry and go have bangers and mash in a ye olde pub. If you have actually done these things in your life and you still hold those opinions, well, we share a biology but that's about it and there no point me talking to you. It's like jazz, if you need it explained you'll never get it.

Come to think of it, one of the jokes I posted was about Piquet's attempted dick-kicking on Eliseo Salazar after being taken out at Germany in '82. The same GP where Pironi ended his career...jeez, what loving didn't happen in 1982? Whoever it was who was talking about watching Switzerland 82 a few pages ago, lots of luck to you, I don't think I could stomach doing a rewatch of that season. Once was enough.

gently caress yes, thread delivers as always. To be fair, who wouldn't try to cup Prost's balls if given the chance and the clout to get away with it?

I wonder if these will perform any better given that brake tech is effectively locked out by all the regulations on materials and whatnot. Seems like a weird place to start given that Brembos are an industry standard but if I'm wrong, someone enlighten me.

Brakes have always been a major thing for Grosjean he's very sensitive to their behaviour and seems to be his weakness. I remember during his first stint debut at Renault that was a major thing for him too

This is just what I was Googling. I reckon most of the field would be running Brembos, which means the problem isn't the brakes but Haas.

Trying to find a source though..

edit: yep, there you go.

You can just read the Brembo on the caliper, which is at the bottom for some F1 reason. So Ferrari runs Brembos at least and is competing for the title. Does Haas need someone fluent in Italian to translate the directions on the box? Same dude could translate radio messages too.

Brembo's have been eating poo poo recently and Ferrari's R&D budget just for brakes is probably bigger than Haas' entire chassis budget. I do think part of it is Haas being new to the game and not having the experience to have some solutions they've been through before to bandaid fix the issue, but the issue is fundamentally a Brembo one. The only other issue would be brake fluid and that would've presented itself under the CI brake test.

You may be thinking of the wet tires which were losing chunks of tread during the race and would probably send Red Bull into full on meltdown and asking for a pure aero formula if it happened in F1.

Of course. The calipers would count for a good percentage of the overall weight of a wheel assembly, minus the wheel. Moving it from the side to the bottom is exactly the sort of fractions of a percent that F1 is all about.
