He could win 2017 if they implement this fast enough. That's assuming he could finish races when he and Vandoorne are the only ones running, though.

They do that bit in most episodes. In the series finale it's addressed to two security guards, both named Hank. "Thanks, Hanks. Thanks."

Toyota is "evaluating it's options" after the Porsche WEC withdrawal. I give it a 1.5% chance they will consider F1.
This blows my mind. Why in God's name would they pull out right now when without Porsche they're virtually guaranteed a Le Mans and WEC win? Actually I shouldn't say that, there's a decent chance both their cars will Tony it after 11 hours and Jackie Chan DC Racing LMP2 will sweep the podium.

Haas boss Gunther Steiner says his team’s “brutal” Friday at the Hungarian Grand Prix was the most difficult it has ever experienced in Formula 1.

With tester Antonio Giovinazzi crashing early on in first practice, and Romain Grosjean struggling with brakes and a baffling balance problem, Steiner is under no illusions about how much his outfit is now on the back foot.

Oh.

I don't know how many of you guys were watching Grosjean's original debut with Renault back in '09 but literally the same complaints. Brakes, brakes, brakes. Lotus, too.

He is so drat sensitive about brakes it's crazy that he has the speed to accomplish what he has.

Why is he even in F1. Jesus christ. He got kicked out for being poo poo once and hasn't gotten any better

My understanding is that he just keeps trying to brake like five to ten feet later than everybody else and is pissed that the car isn't perfectly complying. Late braking is okay when the braking system is :discourse: but sometimes you just gotta accept that it's not there and brake where everyone else is.

Listening to BBC radio earlier, Kubica's test at Paul Ricard was supposed to be a friendly welcome, PR is highly configurable, and they stuck in a high gforce hairpin to test his arm, he completed it fine, Bobby K is gonna replace JP no doubt, just when, after FP1 and FP2, I'd say pretty soon

Unless Palmer utterly shits the bed the rest of the season worse than he is now, next season. Then Palmer's dad is going to go to Williams.

Yeah nothin that bad happens at his track, not to say people havent tried.

Allow me to set the stage. It's kid karts break, basically 40 mins of who gives a poo poo as 5 year olds drive karts around at the behest of their parents who spend too much for something these kids may or may not want whatsoever. A small child who's first time out pulls out of the pit exit onto the track. And turns the opposite way, and drives head first into oncoming traffic. A very loud bang and dead silence is the next 20 seconds, as everybody turns their head and some adults start running towards pit exit. 30 seconds later a screaming child is being taken over to the scale house by one adult, as another adult carries up both a folded up go kart, and also the helmet that was not strapped down and went flying on impact. I'm like 99% sure that kid isn't totally dead, due to the screaming.

So is Max ok or what

More like I would take a bullet for Frank Williams' jar of urine.

I already have to contend with Stroll on the team let alone Jolyon.

Although Joylon at least seems like a nice guy and doesn't have his head up his rear end.

Can you imagine how much money Williams would have if they did that? Actually none because each car would crack a chassis in every track session

It was in my backyard. My grandparents bought us this super simple pipe frame street kart and we never once drove it on anything paved. No seatbelts, no roll bar, no helmet. I don't know why my parents thought it was a good idea to let us gently caress around in that thing unsupervised but somehow none of us died.
