Real F1 2015 Season - Off Topic Discussion

The endless debate between political correctness and having valid points otherwise, neither side is the least interested what the other side has to say.

hence the endlessnessness

Social Justice Warriors, the new basementdwellers ehe!

atleast the site is fair in his China incident admited to Button

 

oh man

 

But that site hasnt updated since yesterdays race where he damaged Massas car :-D

 

It wasn't supposed to according to his definition of a crash (as listed on that site itself) it didn't meet the criteria (as for with the clash with Button the week before that)

 

But that was Buttons fault that time

 

so? It is a site that said wether he has crashed or not, not if it was his fault Australia wan't really his fault either, but that one is there.

 

Well that was pretty boring. onwards to Monaco!

 

Agreed, it was one of the more dull ones

 

what else to be expected from barcelona. I can't remember a single good race taking place there. And then to read that their contract is extended for at least a few years, while races in germany (hockenheim/nurburgring), monza, spa are struggling, just makes me sad

 

What a race!!!!!!!



I fell asleep after 20 minutes...

 

Circuit de Barcelona isn't suited for anything else than F1 testing and racing in the smaller categories.
It's been proven year after year after year... It's absolutely insane that the track is kept on the calendar, it's simply not suited for F1 racing.
No matter which generation of F1 car, the track doesn't bring exciting racing, ever. Never has, never will.

Pirelli's cautious tire choice didn't help matter either.

Also, F1 shouldn't race on tracks they test on too.
They have way too much data, takes the surprise element out of the racing.
The teams are simply too good.

Only positive was that none of the mechanics were seriously injured in the two (!) pit lane incidents.
Especially the Alonso brake failure could have turned out much worse if the front jack man hadn't been on his toes. Scary stuff.

Oh, and I'm glad to see Rosberg back in the game again.
I was getting worried that he had lost his spark this year.
I want Lewis to win, but I certainly don't want to see him dominate and run off into the distance all by himself.

My bet is on Nico grabbing the victory in Monaco again this year.
I'm hoping that race will bring some excitement and controversy (like it almost always does )

I'm sure you guys have better articles than this one but wow. I wish these small teams would say fu and stop showing up. See what F1 would look like with 10-12 car starting grids.

 

And Williams coming 3rd with $83 million.
This is from an age old system which distributes 65% of the revenues from hosting fees, media rights and trackside sponsorship and hospitality.
50% of the underlying revenues are paid to final positions in the championship, 35% to F1 shareholders and 15% is split between Ferrari, Red Bull, Mercedes, McLaren and Williams. (to reward them for their long-term participation)

Which means Force India received $38 Million less then McLaren despite finishing just one place behind them.

But hey, at least F1 will become over 9.000 more exiting because they are refuelling in 2017 again, as well as much faster laps (5 to 6 seconds), more 'aggressive looking cars' and louder engines.

Can't wait for the more aggressive looking cars hehe!

 

I want to punch and break things at the moment. Probably just as frustrated as lewis.. What the hell

 

please remove spoiler (if it is referring to today's Monaco race)

thankfully I stopped reading after first few words

 

Thank you Mercedes strategy department, that made it a little more look like a F1-race, at least at the end!

What do strategy-team-member get paid?
I'm sure i am able to make similar decisions.

 

Adrian, expect spoilers in a 2015 championship thread, best not open at all if you yet have to watch it man.


I was pretty frustrated for Verstappen, took him 20laps to get to Perez and then his rear didn't cooperate in the pit, all effort gone.
That crash.....I was kinda hoping something would happen this race as it was not very exiting, but it had to be him :/

 

Adrian if you expect us not to discuss the most recent events of F1 in topic called 2015 F1 discussion, than i honestly dont know what do you expect in this thread :-D

I have sorta feeling that the Mercedez wanted to grant Nico 3 Monaco wins in a row since the last person who has achieved that was Senna. I trully expect the Mercs to redeem Lewis in upcoming races as soon as there is an opportunity
