The logo looks OK, except for this...Khablam posted:They made the new logo to make the "digital" marketing better. But it doesn't bother me. What actually looks like junk is the space-typewriter font they tossed below it. Not only is it fugly on its own, but it really really doesn't go with the logo. I have a KFC up the street from me, and when the wind blows south, we can smell it down the whole street. I haven't had it in like 10 years though, because most of the KFCs in the city (ironically not that one) are squeezed in with a Taco Bell and I'm not getting fuckin KFC when I can get tacos.

Hold on a sec... Is the Petrobras deal in conjunction with Renault, and Mobil1 on the way out with Honda? I can't remember which lubrications go with which engine manufacturers except Petronas and Merc. And was Mobil1 really behind the curve in their performance like was claimed? Because if Petrobras is an improvement in that department, and if the Renault can manage to be better than the grenade-waiting-to-happen Honda power unit, then I might be starting to get my hopes up. Does Petrobras do development with Renault? Are they the supplier for the factory team too?

The Unfetered One posted:Bobby K may not have been a driver that set the field alight, but as it is he is great PR for the circus that is F1 at the moment. If true, it's still a more believable and deserving publicity driver than Carmen "LOL" Jorda was. OK, what actually is the deal with Kubica's arm? That gif made it look like the hand doesn't have any mobility. I just assumed that it was all still functioning, just reduced in strength and range of motion kind of.

iospace posted:I'd take Danica Patrick over Jorda any day. yeah, I have more respect for Danica, because she is legit out there racing with the good old boys, and as much as she's not likely a top contender, she (as far as I can remember) has put in some good drives. She's the most well known female driver, and has been at it a long time, so she's more than a one shot publicity stunt. There are certainly male drivers with seats who are worse than her. Jorda is smoking hot and slow as poo poo. Moulton is still the alpha lady-driver that all little girl racers should aspire to, kicking rear end and taking names in her day. Pierogi posted:WTF! Are you in alternate reality? Looks like Kube is running very respectably, especially looking at the # of laps, even though, yes, we can't really tell anything concrete about this. I didn't know the full limitations of his injury, and it's even more impressive (and scary too maybe?) that he's able to manage competitive times with that kind of limitation. Also, his Williams is probably almost as much of a handicap, so putting it midpack is quite decent.

Probably not. Maybe once he loses his edge he might, but until then he's chasing Schumi's WDC record. Yeah, it could be this. But somehow I think he's not so much concerned about dying than he is missing out on celebrity parties and stuff. I do think he'd love to break Schumacher's WDC record, but I don't think he'll get there. At least I hope. learnincurve posted:He might just want to sit on a beach somewhere with his dogs smoking massive amounts of weed while designing gently caress ugly clothes and making terrible music no one will ever hear.

The FIA would be scared to poo poo that the power figures would skyrocket like they did in the 80s. It's the best solution to putting a power cap on a turbo engine that's available within the confines of reality that isn't some really crude blunt instrument. F1 is the pinnacle of motorsport!* *may include arbitrary constraints to slow down cars, randomly enforced rules, multiple tire choices which are all bad, whiny bitch drivers, cheating, distinct advantages for some teams, inflexible rules ensuring other teams can't catch up, and Poois Shamilton.

1500quidporsche posted:The fuel flow thing is literally the best idea they've had for organically managing engine power levels in decades. The fact that thermal efficiency for these engines has gradually climbed above 50% shows that it's working while still encouraging development. I don't want to disagree with this. I just want them to increase the limit. Give the cars more power. How did they decide that this current level is "enough" in what's supposed to be the most exciting car race series in the world. Why not increase, even by like 5% a year and see where that takes us? It won't result in immediate monster uncontrollable cars, or too-fast-to-corner-safely issues, or grenades-on-wheels. Actually, now I think that this is a genius idea. Why aren't we doing this? F1 can claim "more power, faster cars!" every year, and can plan ahead to at least a few years of steady increases before they have to pull it back a bit. Let's make this happen, worst thread! Hell, give teams the option during qualifying to use 110% of the limit for the race. In any case, sitting at this "safe" level is boring as gently caress. Feels Villeneuve posted:Nobody is talking about "enforcing parity through attrition". Plot twist... for every race you win, you MUST increase the output of your engine 10%. The next race that you don't win, it goes back to baseline.

1500quidporsche posted:We're already breaking lap records every second race and these things are above 1000bhp in qualifying. Exactly how much more power do you want? Just more. More is better. Give the cars more power until they become either unstable or unmanageable. And then in the case of the latter, get better drivers.

Oh well, it may have been too much to hope for I guess. But yeah, gently caress Williams. It seems kind of tacky, seeing pay drivers in the (arguably) upper tier teams. Like in Sauber or Haas or whatever it doesn't stand out as much, but in a team that want to be seen as a WCC contender it's pretty sad.
