I'm fascinated either way. Option A: Merc goes for an equally good driver and... poaches someone else off a contract? Lewis hates them and complains constantly. Option B: Merc goes for an explicit 1-2 arrangement and opens the field a little more. Races get more interesting. What an amazing driver Rosberg is, to have such a strong impact on next season.

I'm honestly just torn about this because on the one hand it seems really lame but on the other he did go out on a high point: helping expose Lewis as a complete dickhead I have to suspend my decision-making about who to root for next season until we all figure out who's driving

I was talking to my brother about this and he was betting it would be Bottas, but it looks like that's not likely. And if it's not Whereline then who's still on the list? Unless Toto's just messing with us.

Wirth1000 posted:Guys, I am now officially super stoked about the 2017 formula. Toro Rosso's tech director said its the biggest mix up in the 19 years he's been in the sport. Completely different cars in every single way minus the power units of course. I read that too, and combined with how it looks unlikely that Merc are going to find another driver of the quality they're looking for, I'm hopeful for a more competitive and interesting field next year. We'll find out in March, I guess.

Among other things I hope the new, leveler field means a better year for our mate Dan, because I think he's a great guy and obviously a great driver and I want to see him on every podium.

Mechanical unreliability helps us judge a driver's character. It's what separates the WDCs from the MWDCs.

On a completely different subject, and level of seriousness:quote:When Max Verstappen was told that his business class seat back home from last year's Canadian Grand Prix had been double-booked, and that the only space left was down in economy by the toilets, you could have forgiven him for kicking up a fuss. Max Verstappen, future WDC, once and future MWDC.

blunt posted:What ever happened to the proposed new York/new Jersey street race? Formula E is doing a New York Street race this year so it seems crazy that F1 couldn't pull it off. The requirements for each type of track are pretty different. I'm not surprised that they can fit a Formula E race into Brooklyn, but I'd be pretty surprised if they could fit an F1 track in NYC. Where would you put the runoff areas?

learnincurve posted:"More affordable for the tracks" was the comment they made. The big thing they have said so far is that they want to make the F1 coming onto town a huge event, with shows and support races and so on. Right now the tracks are paying through the nose for very little content so you get a limited audience. I would imagine they want to make it into a touring festival with the F1 as the headline act. A touring festival, you say... with supporting acts... It's too bad none of the drivers is also an aspiring pop star...

I bet his bonuses are dumb like "you must win, be on the podium, finish in the top 5 for x amount of races, finish top 5 in the championship, etc. I wish we got more details about bonuses/requirements so we could do an end-of-year roundup of money:points.
