Also while where on it I want to hear this theory where by going from one turbo to muffle and dampen engine noise to two turbos to muffle and dampen engine noise we're magically going to get louder engines lol.

Magic! Also, I appear to be in a bar that decided to go with the decor theme of 'what Theophany imagines 1500quid's lounge looks like'

McLaren should stay with Honda. If that means losing Alonso, then so be it.

Where is Alonso going to go anyway? He has no better options. It's not like he's gonna win races in a Force India

Doing the 500 is fun and all, but I bet it gets old quick, and he knows that. I bet he stays even if McLaren stay with Honda

Yeah, current schedule is 3 "short" ovals, 3 superspeedways, 5 street courses (one is repeated), and 6 road courses. They're currently in talks to try to get a Mexico City date too, so we'll have our first true 1:1 comparison on F1 vs Indy speeds in a while (obviously F1 is faster, but curious as to how much at this point). Hell, one of the tracks used by Indy hasn't been changed since they opened it, apart from adding a chicane that only motorcycles use (Road America).

wicka posted:They can pay him a reasonable salary. Alonso's payment involves that every single night Michael Andretti has to sit down and talk about his abortion of an F1 career, his single F1 podium, his reluctance to actually base himself in Europe and the obvious degeneration of the Andretti seed as we watch it falter with every generation after Mario's accomplishments until there is nothing more but the hollow whispers of an alternate reality where Aldo was the one to reap the rewards.

So given we haven't had an announcement at this point I'm guessing were not getting anything before Singapore where we'll get one monster of an announcement.
