Formula 1 2015

its just Saubers nose with a bit of a moustache

the rip off mclaren paint scheme looks really good this year though

Yeah paint scheme flummoxed me for a while until I realised that it was easy - can in the mid pack is a Force India. Car trailing around to retire is the McLaren.

Mclaren and Red Bull are sooooo bad right now its giving FI, STR and even Sauber a walk up opportunity at points at most GPs.

Wasnt a bad race...thankfully Rosberg drove well. Cant believe how shit Kimi is all of a sudden. He has fallen off a cliff.

Time to get Rimain or Hulk in that seat. Bottas can stay at Williams

Kimi isn't shit all of a sudden, he's been shit for ages. Well not really shit, just mediocre with the occasional shit race. This year though he's decided to lift his game and make sure he's shit more consistently. He should've given up a few years back. But I suppose it makes it easier for Ferrari to employ a good driver as their number 1 driver without having to worry about team orders causing problems....

Interesting bit of trivia

By this phase of the season last year, the SAU F1 thread had around 1650 posts. Same time this year we are at what, 650-ish?

Certainly a loss of interest in the spectacle around here..

The fact that only half the races are shown live on fta tv probably has something to do with that. That's why I don't post much

Hey guy's chasing some ideas on the Brittish F1 weekend. I'm currently in Scotland visiting family and I'm thinking of driving down to Silverstone for the GP.

Has anyone done a day trip to the race before who can give me some idea of what to expect access wise or maybe have some ideas on where to watch from.

Thanks.

woah... those prices

[djr81]

I dunno fifty five pounds to park your car on the Sunday appears to be awesome value.

[stR33ter]

Yeah since I posted that I have been trying to find accomodation, got it sorted with the help of a few friends here then noticed the prices. FFFUUUAAARRRKKK that £377.00 for one day, I'll be watching it on telly me thinks.

Mark webber on the Australian story.

[djr81]

Was a good program. Be interested in the size of the bucket of shit he tips on Tool & RedBull in his autobiography.

dont do daniel!!

you'll get the same treatment from vetel as webber did

[djr81]

Be hard to maintain the hatred for that lot If Dan signs. Would Tool have a no Dan clause in his contract?

Questions for the weekend.

How many engine blow ups for McLaren? Can they make Q2 with their new aero package?

How good will the B Spec Force India be?

How many engine penalties for the Renaults?

Will Ferrari be competitive?
Williams too, how will they go?

How much will Hamo beat Britney by?

[ctjet]

2, no

I do though, want Ricky in a ferrari to continue to ruin Vettel's weekends

[dezz]

An Australian in a Ferrari would mean I could barrack for an Australian in F1. Too loyal to Ferrari to want anyone in a rival car to do good... Except maybe my boy kimi

[tweety bird]

This.

Give him hell I say!

[Missileman]

They both have fairly level heads so should be racing each other without crashing, and there's nothing like a competitive team mate to to encourage you and the team, will be good for Vtool, and Fez.

Would be good to see Dan in a car where he can actually see the Mercedes, other than in his mirrors when they come round to lap him

[Missileman]

^^^^^^^^^^agree

Well hope to get my copy of MW's book tomoz... in the meantime...here is a juicy tidbit...

“When Ann (Neal, Webber’s partner) later pressed (Christian Horner) about why the team had never reprimanded Seb or issued any punishment for the ‘Multi 21’ incident, he admitted that the team had received a two-page letter from Seb’s lawyer a few days after the Malaysian race stating that they were in breach of his contract by giving him an ‘unreasonable instruction/team order’,” Webber wrote.

“Whatever (Vettel’s) thinking was, when he overtook me I wasn’t so much angry as very sad that the team had reached this sorry state.

how litigiously petty

definitely on the right team with that kind of shitty attitude
