Human Grand Prix posted:It must be said that Wehrlein didn't look amazing. Was it COTA where he beached it in a gravel trap and the team were telling him to kill the engine or something and he didn't follow orders? one of the commentators brought it up and mentioned that someone else had said words to the effect of "and that's why no one's sniffing after him" or something like that.

The BBC have a run down of the likely candidates: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/38185491 They reckon the most likely is Bottas, but even then there's the fact that Williams will want an experienced driver to partner the rookie they have coming on board.

You could have the best commentators in the world, but if they're commentating on the steaming pile of poo poo the neighbors cat has left in your garden then they're not going to be all that convincing, no matter how hard they try. IMHO.

learnincurve posted:Lewis wasn't even nominated for, or invited to, the sports personality of the year* ceremony lol The irony being that it was awarded to the person with no personality whatsoever  I'm glad Andy Murray won for a record third time, because it means I've been able to use that joke three times now.

I'm happy to see little Felipe baby coming back, despite the tear drenched farewells at interlagos, it felt like (UK media at least) his retirement was massively overshadowed by Button but jesus christ that is the dullest decision ever.

That's what cool has been reduced to in the modern era 1500quidporsche posted:Vaping and paddleshifting with no unreliability. What an age we live in. That's not the drinks button they've been pressing. MattD1zzl3 posted:"hmm, i can have 2 bedrooms in the suburbs, or 5 bedrooms in the middle of nowhere near this airport. I'll treat myself, i deserve it" This made me a bit sad. I grew up in a little place just outside south east London called Biggin Hill (old RAF base, civilian airport these days) and I miss the long summer days punctuated by the occasional buzz of light aircraft every 20 minutes or so. drat. I miss that occasional buzz. You'd listen out and the buzz would cut out and you knew some poor bastard was getting his "this is what you do when the engine cuts out" lesson. Anyway!.... getting back on topic. Bottas is actually a James Bond villain. Mclaren in 'possibly actually nice livery' shocker. Silverstone .....it's almost March isn't it? Almost.

Theophany posted:Biggin Hill is also the home of Formula One Management. Well, until Liberty Media move it to some loving mailbox address in Wyoming or South Dakota. It is! I used to walk past their offices every day to and from work, round the corner from where I worked. The audio / visual company a few units down from us always had the Jordan motorhomes in for a clean up over the summer breaks too. I also went for a job with the, not entirely sure what you'd call them, support team for the broadcast people. i.e. spare camera parts etc. would need to be flown out to 'the travelling circus' as he called it, long hours but that would have been a fun job.

learnincurve posted:Car news Ok... why are some race weekends listed as 4 days, some 3, and others only 2? (ignoring Monaco weirdness that is) - British GP is apparently on the 15-16th July.... yet the weekend before, the Austrian GP spans 3 days. Derp. It doesn't bother me overly, but I've just copied all the dates into my calendar for the year and it looks all screwy.

He had a real full time job doing something and ran the site on a part time basis as just a fan. Then a few years back he decided to go full time and this suddenly skyrockted his ego to give the impression that he's some sort of actual influential voice in F1. He's just some arrogant rear end in a top hat running a site with font sizes way too loving big. I can't stand to read that site for more than a couple days cause of how opinionated all the pieces can get and his bleeding heart 'think of the fans!~!!!!!' idea that he's some sort of voice for the people.

Theophany posted:Yes because it is a sequence of words used exclusively by manchildren and overly saccharine fuckbags. You and me are going to get on just fine learnincurve posted:Silverstone is now in trouble because of the bikes. http://circuitofwales.com is a stadium which is being built and half funded by the welsh government entirely around bikes. They now have the MotoGP contract for when it's completed. Bernie repeatedly screwing them won't have helped, but Silverstone has always been expensive for track days compared with all the other, better, tracks surrounding it and has rather relied on it's fame. I don't think anyone in Britain really cares much for Silverstone, we care about there being a British GP. If Brands Hatch or Donnington managed to get approved for the F1 no one would care much about silverstone tbh. Wasn't there some issue with the circuit of wales and trying to find investors just in the past week or two? Seem to remember them mentioning it on the morning news, something about the government going "Yep we'll give you half the cash, but you need to show us the money" - fake edit: here it is -> http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-south-east-wales-38751116 Admittedly I haven't bothered reading any more about the story past that, so it could be all well and good by now and I'm sitting here none the wiser
