The Macau Grand Prix is often better in theory than practice. Expect long SC periods or red flags as they unblock the track or pick a car out of a grandstand. The track itself is just insane though

It's ok OP, they've solved that this year by *checks notes* "Using quicker cars".

Will Martin Brundle commentate for as long as Murray did? It seems like he is missing more races/sessions each season.

Murray never had to do Free Practice anyway and there were 13-16 races a year then not 21 so I bet Brundle ends up doing more races.

Yeah Merc will need to attempt to hire their next number 1 at this point. And if they thought that was Ocon he'd be in the car in 2020.

Uhhh, Williams just sold off a majority stake in their actual money making side hustle to a private equity firm.

Uhhhhh.... for the first time I'm actually worried about the long term future of Williams now lmao


Holy gently caress, gently caress off, Claire. Jesus christ you're literally running all of this into the loving ground.

It's never a good sign when companies sell off bits that make money is it, like when HMV sold Waterstones before the first of their two crashes and Blockbuster sold off Gamestation a few years before they cratered.

I know there are a few misguided Max fans but we don't have any honest to god red bull fans ITT do we?

There's us few residiual Minardi fans keeping an eye on Scuderia Wet Look Knitwear or whatever they're called this week but RBR? Nah.

I do have an RBR towel someone got me for a secret santa or something. I dry my arse with it.

Nissany’s son is the new Williams test driver.

But don't worry, the hiring of a man who finished 22nd in a field of 20 in Formula 2 and will have a logo on the car only on the weeks he's driving it is totally not for money.

I'd like to see Dovi take a title this year, but if the Ducati still steers like a Multistrada, I don't see that happening.

Iannone is a moron and I'm glad he's gone. But since Fenati got another ride, I could see Iannone going to SBK.

I'm really interested to see how the Brothers Marquez work on the same team.

At the risk of playing into a thread meme I've missed, isn't Our Andrew Ian One still at Aprilia this year?

EDIT : Oh I managed to find the story, the absolute loving idiot.

He'd have to beat Perez first. Maybe they'll sack him for someone Lance is faster than first. Bring back Hulkenberg.

Why do you think they were trying to hire Kubica?

If that fails... out steps a smiling Luca Badoer.

I'm like seriously offended that those dead soulless corporate automatons at Daimler AG wouldn't give more than a single 0.5" red star on their car to Niki but they'll give the entire loving air intake to some chemical company nobody ever heard of. The whole halo should be red for Niki.

Then good news, I can't find the red star on the 2020 one at all.

I mean thats the same working for an F1 team from what I've read, the pay is better in other industries that you'd be able to put to use simmilar qualifications but people want to work in F1 because well it's F1.

Yeah it's the same as games development, you can work 80 hours a week for half what you'd get paid for writing accountancy software and you'd go home at 5.

But games!

No big changes is basically the whole field this season though, it's the last year before major rules changes and Williams are not going to catch up seconds of time no matter how hard they work on it. They still have the buffer of their extra payments from being around so long to cushion another season of bad performance and it looks like rockit have upped their sponsorship from the size of the logos

Or demanded it to not walk.

Bad news everyone, steering is banned because it changes the aerodynamics of the car. Braking is banned now too, also acceleration.

This is Lance's chance to shine!
