George Zimmer posted:Hockenheim is the one "classic" circuit that I wouldn't really be disappointed about if it shut down. It's just so bad. As far as I'm concerned, that circuit died when they got rid of the forest section. Not totally sure... but I think the forest section went because TV coverage was poor, such a sad reason if right

Powershift posted:No, he's a hair unhinged. He's still an invincible teenager. Hell, he hit hulkenburg and spun in the first corner in the last race. Red Bull split strategies, and gave max the one that looked more like a race winning one, just like they did webber and vettel in Abby Dabby that time, RBR are cunts that screw over aussies

Powershift posted:No, they knew he blew it in turn 1, and were using him to back Rosberg up to give Riccardo a better chance with the undercut. They didn't expect Hamilton to try to do the same. I prefer my theory.. it fits the RBR narrative

Powershift posted:Yeah, but logic would suggest at some point, in even cars, the 'faster" car would pass the one going slowly. Especially if the "faster" car would be the one to benefit from a collision. Logic suggests also they started on the harder tyre to go further, yet they pitted Ricky in the same window as the rest

Deepfried posted:Lewis may be talented but gently caress he's a classless oval office. Yep Rosberg has a family, a great life with a history of intelligence and class, Lewis has no loving idea what he is outside F1, he's awkward and has little social skills outside his celebrity poo poo Every other driver has a passion for people or country they represent.... however I do pity him for it, he was Ron's protégé

1500quidporsche posted:Grosjean always puzzles me, I think he lets the pressure get to him too much like Are Rossie used to. His best drives this year was the first few when there was very very low expectations for Haas and then as the season went on he really was on the dull end. I get that the car was poo poo but you shouldn't be finishing behind GUT in the same car under any sort of circumstance. Grosjean and Maldonado were the pathfinders for Max, if the pack had treated him like they did those two, there would be a hell of a lot more RBR carbon fibre on the track

What is a mindfuck is that all these guys start in karting and yet they never accept that the rubbered in racing line is the most treacherous in the wet because it is basically like driving on ice. That's not to diminish Max's drive or ability, but he's kind of shooting fish in a barrel. Hey the Merc seat is still free hotshot

Grand Prix has easily the best cinematography of any racing movie ever made though, just ahead of Le Mans, which makes it worth watching to racing enthusiasts.

learnincurve posted:Sky have digital media coverage now though. Sky Go as part of your satellite coverage and Now TV which is no contact streaming. Where it's looking good for the Americans is how close Carey is to Murdock and co. I would wonder if some sort of deal for the American broadcast rights to the F1 channel is already with the lawyers. Practically speaking it's just a case of allowing the yank IPs to use Now TV and making the channel available to them. Using NowTV for F1 is crazy, might as well get the SkySports discounted subscription
