What a silly graphic. Palmer should be where Lewis is, and Lewis straight in the middle of the #megazone.

Also, Vettel should be like 4 levels below "good" with Bottas and Rosberg.

I realise this is a few pages old now, but a good driver with good weight could probably come in, nick the kube and hit Hamilton off of bottas out the back of the house. Obviously try and leave Alonso second shot. I'm assuming kmag and hulk are out front guarding though. Palmer probably hogged it, and stroll fell over coming out of the hack.

Jolyon Palmer is the WDC this thread deserves. He is easily the most consistent driver on the grid.

Potentially good but possibly just more tedium once the initial "wow this is cool" factor wears off after your first career season.

F1 2016's R&D and practice modes were pretty fun for the first season and a half but after doing the same tedious tests and targets overa nd over and over again and the horrible "paddock office" where these creepy looking agents and R&D guy gives you a bullshit just slowed everything down. It's very superficial.

Just make that poo poo into a snazzy menu.

In F1 2016 and the prior games that introduced "new parts yay make car go fast" you could stick it out with Manor or whatever and slowly work your way up the grid cause at least in prior games the other teams would have static development.

In 2016 it did seem like the other teams also had development curves along with yours. But, yes, there is a slight sense of progress because you can only sign with the poo poo to mid-to-poo poo teams then as the seasons go on depending on how you're doing you can get offered contracts for teams higher up than you.

But, at least for me, all that really entailed was a reskin of the paddock and different shirts on the exact same people like your R&D guy. Obviously the car is different but it wasn't that big of a leap feeling up the grid cause of the rapid car development you could pull off by just taking part in all the tests during the practice sessions.

They probably got mad that somebody dared to praise Our Lewis. It goes against everything the BBC stands for. I assume the Brave Lion rebel responsible for the graphic has been fired, but I hope (s)he's at least physically safe.
