If the forest section of Hockenheim had never existed nobody would be saying 'ugh it's such an awful circuit bulldoze it and salt the earth'. The track suffers from the comparison with what had been there before but it isn't any worse than half the tracks on the current F1 calendar.

wicka posted:I literally heard zero complaints about COTA until the month prior to the USGP this year. It's baffling. The track is almost as good as you are ever going to get from a purpose-built F1 circuit in the 21st century. People were pointing out the cut-n-paste sections from other circuits literally from the day of the track map being revealed. The whole track feels like one of those dumb lazy magazine articles about THE ULTIMATE F1 CIRCUIT made from all the corners everyone likes tagged together but missing the point completely.

So are Mercedes still going to maintain the pretence that it's anyone other than Bottas? They're still saying there'll be no official announcement until next year. BOLD 2017 PREDICTION: Massa outscores Bottas.

AgentJotun posted:I like to think of it like Usain Bolt going back to the 50's for the 100m sprint where the world record was like a 10.2. Don't think he would have all that much trouble. Hell the 200m record was a 20.6. A time he could beat at age 15. The money, training, science and professionalism that goes into all sports now is way more advanced then what it was back in the day. I see the old grand prix drivers as half daredevil half sportsman. A poo poo load of bravery and a good amount of talent, but not compared to todays stars. The effect of today's sports psychology/nutrition/fitness aspect alone would see 50s drivers getting completely crushed by their modern equivalents. 1500quidporsche posted:The family thing is new but it makes a certain amount of sense since you have a guy that has a lot of cash, free time now that his career is over, he's now got a kid and knows what the kid has to do to get into the sport.

Theophany posted:Brands is legit fantastic, but it's impossible to go racing there due to NIMBY noise restrictions that close the GP circuit for all but a handful of events a year. IIRC Berger said it was the best circuit he'd ever raced on. Even so, no UK circuit other than Silverstone meets the FIA requirements to hold a Grand Prix at present. Pretty sure Donington doesn't have to worry about noise restrictions too much since the track literally sits at one end of the runway to East Midlands International .

Me too but there's like a 99% chance that Sky's contract has a clause which covers their exclusivity against any digital media coverage. Like at the absolute best you're going to have the Sky commentators and an inflated purchase price to cover the chunk of your money going directly to them as direct compensation for not needing a satellite dish.

I was thinking the exact same thing and even tried to make the same edit but whoever did this is much better than me with image editing. Also white is the old national car colour for Japan white makes it more of a nod to Honda.

That's last year's McLaren livery. Weird that two different teams over two years have thought 'hey, let's literally paint our cars the same colour as the track so they're invisible'.
