Ugh I hate Tilke's long straights

Ugh why did you put a chicane in the middle of that long straight

I'd agree with you but it doesn't apply here. Putting a loving chicane before Signes really fucks with the track and makes a exciting corner boring as gently caress.

Other than that they are going to be designed in the way that all modern tracks are designed, yes. It's like complaining that cars have wheels, for fucks sake. Grow up.

The gently caress are you talking about growing up about? Lol dude you're unhinged.

We were discussing something new you twit. Upcoming changes to a F1 track.

Maybe track layouts aren't a big deal to you. Maybe gently caress off

Interesting. I wonder if there's something toxic about the Mercedes team at the moment. Strange considering their current success

Merc have made some very odd decisions in the last couple of years. I'd argue that losing Brawn was one, and this is another. I'm kind of surprised Lowe is going to Williams though. Its not as if he wouldn't be welcome at a factory team.

Would you go to Ferrari or Renault?

The ultimate irony of this Bottas conundrum is that if they did actually get Paddy Lowe they really should be looking to get a works engine deal together and stop running as a second tier Williams team.

Agreed. They will never get out of the midpack doing what they are doing.

I don't see how Bottas is desirable. Has he had any impressive drives. Like at all?

As an internet Race Enthusiast I want to like Can-Am racing because they had the best sounding engines ever with more horsepower than F1 and they had fan cars before that unimaginative noob Gordon Murray copied them. But I can't like Can-Am because the cars are loving hideous. I mean holy poo poo worse than 2014 dicknoses hideous.

The hybrid era cars are easy to drive in that drivers are lifting and coasting through corners and driving at 60% to optimize fuel consumption and tire wear.

This!

The cars have an insane amount of torque in the current formula. You just don't see it because they are hardly ever on the limit.

Vettel's lid design post Red Bull is good. Far better than the glittering shite he changed at each race or that weird lid at Abu Dhabi that had flashing lights on it.

Agreed. Love his "HEY I'M GERMAN" lid.

Now that the British Bleeding Heart Society is trying to get me probated I will also come out and say that yes, I miss having Maldonado in the grid. What does motorsports need? Excitement. Maldonado was certainly that. And as much as it hurts to say so, Bottas in the Mercedes and those N+1 "dontgiveashit"-drives in the back rows are certainly not that.

I know this will get me flamed, but I prefer the look of Indy cars vs F1.

Then again, I hate the dropped wing like F1 tends to run and prefer the wing to be attached to the nose directly.

The indy cars would look a lot better without the loving rear bumper or whatever the gently caress is going on in the back
