I still believe they should like apply only 100 aero points for development and once those points are over you have only that package

then if a team display some better performance and takes off in first third of the championp, success ballast or balance of aerodynamic. before season kicks off all teams will be submitted to the same wind tunnel and any pattern of dirty air will deem the car unsuitable to race

You know, when the whole Halo thing began I did say covering the wheels would be next

Not long to go until closed cockpit, closed wheel racing in F1 it seems.

It's the sinister WEC plan to improve P1 by slowly making F1 morph into a prototype and suddenly you have 18 prototypes on the WEC grid instead of 6 or whatever. :whistling:
:beard:

Verstappen gave an interview with a Dutch newspaper and they asked about the possibility of vanDoorne joining STR. Max said its not gonna happen. He didn't have any preference of who would get that seat but he did know who would come.

So, if he's telling the truth, STR has signed someone and this someone isnt vanDoorne.

It's Kvyat, the most underwhelming of all the options.

60 people working for you and not one can Photoshop the new F1 logo over the old ones.

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

Its not bad and I appreciate the whole concept behind it and I do believe Brawn and the rest do have the best intentions to create a car that allows close racing but I just know the teams will bitch and moan long enough to nullify the entire concept and turn the 2021 cars into steaming piles of dogpoo that cant drive within 1km from eachother.

Each team pays engineers to find loopholes and think of things that the FIA would have never thought of. Actually the FIA has come up with a lot of ideas in the past that are good in theory. In theory.

Why does everything need to look like a cartoonish romanticized version of how we used to imagine the future will look like? I mean, grow the hell up and stop drawing Batmobiles FFS, you're not in elementary school anymore.

Is it still allowed to make a move down the apron with only two wheels below the double yellow line? No wheel at all? All goes until the grass?

It's been a while I didn't watch Nascar (and according to what I read/hear pretty much everywhere, I shouldn't)

On this date 5 years ago, Kimi Räikkönen wrestled his way up to 3rd from 13th position with a back injury and broken KERS on a street circuit while not getting paid from his team. Amazing achievement.

Interesting to compare to today. Hamilton 2018 has taken Vettel 2013's spot, whereas Vettel 2018 is now the Alonso of 2013. Kimi 2018 is still Kimi 2013 it seems. :lol:

And all three on the podium have worn red overall.

Last win by a driver in a car that was not made by Red Bull, Mercedes or Ferrari? Well...Australian GP 2013. Maybe F1 needs to change things...

at the day I disliked Vettel for winning too much, now I dislike for not failing too much. Most hated driver since 1994
