Hello offseason thread. So what's happening with the fully interchangeable midpack drivers Magnussen, Ericsson, and Hulkenberg? Are they still around in 2019?

LochNessMonster posted:Don’t forget the man who turns a top tier car into a reliable midpack finisher, Bottas. I almost added him but then specifically left him out because he's a blatant high profile failure, where the others are generic interchangeable midpackers. Rev. Dr. Moses P. Lester posted:Personal or family convictions for tax fraud is a requirement for a superlicense isn't it? Bernie definitely approved of the mom's "business". Schlesische posted:Having said that, there's precious few people in F1 who out and out don't deserve a drive. Even Sebastian "Fraudulent pissbaby supreme" Vettel deserves a seat. It's really only Stroll and even he has shown that he can drive an F1 car at F1 race speeds when given an F1 car and not a garbage fire on wheels. Yeah, I can give Stroll that much credit at least. He's bad, but he wasn't a complete and utter fuckup all of the time.

1500quidpoocati posted:I literally just spent loving $60 getting the scratched up glass replaced on my Seiko so I'm looking for more cheap dumb seikos at this point in time the AE1200 is calling to me cause that looks awesome as poo poo. Wanna get a GS at some point in the next year or two though. big crush on Chad OMG posted:Wear an Omega like me Both nice options, and both on my list. I think the Omega Aqua Terra is one of the most versatile, overall great looking watches out there. And Grand Seiko makes some killer models that would also be fantastic for dress or casual.

OhsH posted:gently caress off I'm sorry, but anyone who supports Lance Stroll as a driver has legitimate brain damage. Can I take you back to the hospital you have clearly escaped from, sir? Pvt. Public posted:I have owned a couple Breitlings and they are fine, I guess. Same goes for Rolex. The only one I own has sentimental value and I rarely wear it anyway. I'm rocking a Blancpain Villeret every day now and I love it. I have a Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso and a Ulysse Nardin San Marco that are my dress watches and a Grand Seiko that I wear occasionally for Reasons. Pvt. Public taking a big bite out of the 2018 watchtalk thread. Nice unique choices. Tourbillions have never really interested me, which is good because they are firmly out of my price range.

She’s currently researching who at NASA and formula 1 to send the article to. Very cool LC, I hope she does well for herself. Maybe she can be the one to fix this terrible dead sport.

Pvt. Public posted:Psh, pocket watches are SO 18th century No argument that they're super cool to watch and what they actually do is impressive. I'm sure if I put the right one on my wrist I'd be sold too. Not literally because I would have to sell most of my organs to afford one. (actually Sea-Gull makes one for around $1k, and there are a few others too)

Pvt. Public posted:I actually traded in one of my Breitlings and paid cash on the taxes for mine, so it was a pretty easy sell overall. I want to get my hands on one of those Sea-Gulls and see how they feel. I have a friend that has one and he likes it and said he doesn't notice any fit and finish difference between it and the higher-cost brands. I can afford the higher-priced ones, but for the same reason I don't own supercars, I don't like to feel like I'm wasting money unnecessarily so I'd gladly "trade down" into a Sea-Gull if it strikes me the same way. My wife has a skeleton Sea-Gull and it has actually held up really well over the past 8 years or so. Most of their designs are a little flat to me, but they do have a nice looking submariner clone. Rev. Dr. Moses P. Lester posted:Assuming her engineering skills are fine, have you seen her interact with her peers and authorities at school? Does she know how to maneuver in complicated adversarial social hierarchies? To play off the ambitions and fears of others without their understanding? To manipulate and control for personal gain and advancement? Then send that CV to Scuderia Ferrari (now obligatory) Hi, not a gyrotoubillion!

Dudley posted:They claim it's on performance, if she makes the cut we know that was a lie. She's 5 seconds slower a lap than Alice "Who?" Powell in the same car. Unfortunately she's been so vocal about this topic I'm sure she'll find a way to get a drive, even if it's just to get more medi attention on the series. But that will make it satisfying to see her at the bottom of the lap times.

I don't do twitter, and I was pretty sure reddit was 100% toxic garbage, but now it seems to come up a lot more frequently in search results for regular topics and I guess I have found some use for it. Isn't the bodybuilding forum generally regarded as the most worthless, offensive place on earth?

The Kimoa Kid posted:I only vaguely remember Perez at McLaren Because he was completely forgettable. The Stoff of his time. But he'll still beat Stroll, no question about it. Maybe once a mediocre driver like Checo puts Stroll in his place (in the team his daddy owns) we can finally agree that he's poo poo.

Frond posted:Perez has matured into a decent driver. He's OK, but still nothing special. Like he manages to keep the drama to a minimum, but he doesn't really seem do punch above his weight. Pretty standard mid-packer I'd say. I would definitely rate him higher than a lot of the others though (Grosjean, Stroll, Kvyyat, etc.) edit: your assessment of "decent driver" is pretty spot on.

I strongly dislike Hamilton for a lot of reasons, but even I have to admit that this is kind of a cool and fun thing to do. If it was some other driver who wasn't a smug, petulant, toilet-phobic idiot then I would probably support their efforts to do cool and fun stuff.

I'd like to see Mick do well, especially in F1. I don't know if he'll actually get here, and if so, if he'll be anything more than a placeholder trading on his dad's name... but it would be rewarding to see him come in and raise the bar for all the other drivers.
