keevo posted:Oh yeah we need to do bold predictions before qualifying. Disclaimer: I haven't seen any FP1/2 results other than that ARE LEWIS was fastest and Rosburg crashed. Haas, Renault and Manor to be all pretty much as terrible as each other and have a season-long EPIC FIGHT over Not Being Last. Horner starts talking about how poo poo Tag Hueueueueueuer watches are to distract from Red Bull's slide to permanent midfield status. McLaren have a spectacular performance improvement which boosts them to Sauber/Torro Rosso levels of mediocrity. Everyone talks about various new engine manufacturers coming in to the championship for 2017 and none of them actually come in. At least two mid-season rule changes are imposed which nobody asked for and which do nothing to solve the issue they were introduced to fix.

learnincurve posted:The media is poo poo. "ISIS" are pissed at the French not Europe in general, and it's a very specific set of people out for revenge and their motivation has nothing to do with ISIS' political aims. A few years ago the French turned a blind eye when racists kept setting fire to slum buildings in Paris which had 18 people living in one bedroom flats and loads of kiddies burned to death. Now they are SHOCKED that ISIS would recruit the relations of these murdered people living in Belgium and France and that they might be out for blood. If they are going to bomb anywhere then it will be hockenheim if their past actions are anything to go by. I hope ISIS bomb your posting.

dreesemonkey posted:Well if it makes you feel better, in the US, if I bought satellite TV package with NBCsports (which shows F1 with commercials) I'm looking at $80/mo which works out to $960/year for non-promotional pricing ($780 for promotional pricing) not including extra fees/taxes. This is probably about as cheap as we could get it unless you get lucky by having your local cable provider including it on a cheaper package. So we're still paying The perceived lack of bang for your buck with Sky Sports is pretty off-putting too - there are about 60 channels free to air on Freeview in the UK, and £240 per year gets you 270 channels on the baseline Sky package (rival cable providers give you fewer channels but generally cost less and/or bundle their offers with phoneline and broadband). Adding Sky Sports for another £330 gives you an additional 7 (seven) channels and at any one time at least a couple of those will be wall-to-wall football. Do you get any TV in the US not tied to a subscription?

Basically F1 has no idea what it wants to be and is trying to achieve two mutually conflicting goals - be the most advanced cutting edge glamorous technological series while simultaneously giving the most exciting closely matched racing spectacle - whilst simultaneously trying to hark back to a rose-tinted glory era which never existed. Look at the history of F1 and click on a random race report and you'll most likely see a story of how Schumacher/Prost/Andretti/Moss/Fangio started from pole and won by half a lap because that's how it has always been, the reason everyone has Arnoux and Villeneuve at Dijon 79 imprinted on their minds is because the wheel to wheel battling was exceptionally rare even back then but everyone wants to 'bring back the real racing like the good old days' because people are dumb. If F1 want to make close unpredictable racing a regular feature the first thing F1 could and should do is re-balance the payments so smaller teams have more resources try to compete with the big boys but that would mean Bernie agreeing to not be paid a zillion dollars for being a grumpy dwarf and old teams agreeing not to be paid a zillion dollars just for being old teams so good luck with that.

Also in this scenario I guess Tottenham Hotspur are Red Bull (showing up in the runners up spot thanks to a late season surge, and everyone hates them).

1500quidporsche posted:Formula E is neat but yeah it really illustrates just how limited the electric technology is at the moment. Getting around having to switch cars mid-race should be their #1 priority right now because that just plays into every lazy Jeremy Clarkson-grade burn about the limitations of electric power. It can't be impossible (in my imagination anyway) to have some method to switch the battery rack out just like you'd change a tyre in a pitstop and that would make for a much better race feature than literally retiring the vehicle you started with and jumping into a spare.
