I didn't see any mention of Lewis' brief conversation with royalty, but I recall it going something like this... Prince Harry: "Well done, Lewis, you've made Britain proud!" Lewis: "WOOOOOO! CHAMPION!" Or something to that effect. I tell you, it's as if he were raised on a couch in the slums like an animal.

I'll write an intro for someone. I can't wait to see Vettel in a terribly slow Ferrari, without Horner there to hold his hand and defend him when he acts like a spoiled brat. Kimi won't let him get away with poo poo, Iceman will run him off the circuit.

Actually, now that I think about it, how amazing would it be to see the 2015 Ferrari come up with some decent performance, but only by Kimi, with Super Seb trailing his teammate yet again, and further proving his eternal fraud status? I like that better.

Human Grand Prix posted:Both of them are bad drivers. I won't specifically deny that remark, I'll only confirm that one is cool and worth supporting while the other is a fraud and a bad person and is also named Sebastian Vettel. Human Grand Prix posted:I actually thought Vettel was talented, and it wasn't just the car. I mean, he was faster than Webber right? Then I realized that was never the case, and Webber is embarrassingly bad. Webber wasn't that slow, he suffered from 2nd driver syndrome at Red Bull, having the car made just for Sebby with little consideration to him. This is also known as Schumacher-itis, and has been known to afflict otherwise reasonable drivers Massa and Barichello.

krushgroove posted:If you guys actually want track bios then more goons will need to sign up, or some of you guys & gals will need to double up. If you only want to do one type of bio (e.g., you don't want to do a driver but want to do a team), post itt or PM me or something. Just a driver bio for me. Hamilton's display thing is supposed to indicate track position I think, which isn't that bad an idea by itself, but I thought it was going to be some kind of OLED on the rear wing endplates or something, not an obviously cobbled-on extra piece that looks exactly, as was pointed out already, like a giant 2 digit calculator.

That's really not a bad assessment. I do dislike Hamilton, but can admit he is/was the better driver. I'd say Alonso, and then Hamilton are my choice for #1 and #2 drivers currently in the sport. Hamilton's aggressiveness can get him into trouble, but it is also what puts him at the front of the pack most of the time. I also just wanted to make a mention of how lovely it was of McLaren to leave their drivers up in the air so late in the season. I wish Jenson had been able to say "OK, gently caress you Ron" and signed with any other relatively competitive team.

With a pit crew like that... "Guetta in" Maybe Lewis uses Ronco (or is it GLH?) spray on hair for interviews and non-sweaty applications. He usually gives bad interviews. Anyone remember when he was on Top Gear and he tried to tell Clarkson about his "pimp wagon"?

Alonso/Button is the best F1 thing I've seen in a while. Can't wait to see how it plays out. Hoping it won't be a Nando blowout, and closer to a 60/40, but secretly crossing my fingers for a Nico/Lewis head to head scenario with the new Super Honda Power rocketing McLaren to the front of the grid!

Looking at it closer, it looks like Alonso is biting his lip. "That's it, just keep smiling... and 3... 2... 1..." cameraman leaves the room and they start fighting, turning into a cartoon tornado.

Butt Wizard posted:I'm unsure how the technical partnerships will work at McLaren next year. Alonso likes oversteer but it ruins the tyres. Button likes a neutral balance but McLaren have only ever given him understeer, or so he complains. I don't know how much data they'll share anyway, but even if they did it wouldn't really help them out much. It will be interesting to see. I assume they'll be developing around Alonso, but in any case will still put together a poo poo aero package, even if the Honda turns out to be a beast.

As much as we love to hate him, I am honestly concerned about what will happen to the sport when he eventually dies* or retires. Will it become the Red Bull Formula 1 Grand Prix Series brought to you by Red Bull? Or maybe have some kind of ineffective board of directors approach to management. Or even worse, just have Horner in charge? I don't think anyone is as evil and manipulative as Bernie, and I kind of think that's what F1 needs. At least he has the balls to make decisions, and not just vacillate endlessly over... well, anything. * if he actually proves to be mortal

Butt Wizard posted:Coulthard is a shitheel who still thinks it's going to be his year. He's unable to say anything bad about Red Bull, even when their sham star driver is being beaten by a kid who used to get beaten up by kangaroos. His commentary mostly consists of whinging about people who did better than he did, which is everyone else in Formula One history. And his interjections are usually to remind everyone how British a driver or team is and why that's amazing. DC only has one weakness in his otherwise thoughtful and witty commentary... the fact that he uses the word "crucially" once every 3 minutes.
