2015 Formula One |OT| I have a contract to drive reilo's M3

The fuck at that title.

By h3rololsauber is the new lolknicks

Nasr almost got to Q3 with lolsauber.

I couldn't handle this qualifying. Too late for me, 3am. Watched now, and fuck me, Mercedes is more dominant than last year.

My boy Lewis dominating Rosberg as usual. Good qualifying by Massa, Ferraris ans Lotus.

Rookies doing a great job: Felipe Nasr, Verstappen and Sainz. Locking forward to the race.

Pls someone do something with Mercedes. Fuck my life, this is 2014 mark II season.

McLaren...

Alonso...

lol

Holy cow at that Lewis lap! Just finished watching, that W06 is IMMENSE.

Also, looks like Bottas might miss the race, jarred his back on the turn exit leading to the front straight. Same bump that Schumi had a massive shunt on a few years back.

Basically a greedy team (Sauber F1) signed 3 drivers for 2 cars and kept the 2 that gave them the most sponsorship money. The third, Geido van der Garde, took them to court and won. It's a hot mess.

hence, lolsauber

Nico looked so defeated after he climbed out of the car.

As for McLaren... Fernando is one of my all time faves and I really hope they turn it around quick or he has an out of that contract at the end of the season.

I've read a lot of nonsense about how Vettel has "turned Ferrari around". Bullshit. That car is all from last year's management team and Alonso's development. It's good to see Kimi competitive again though, he really does need a car with a grippy front end and brakes to match.

Yeah, i agree with you. Ferrari was a little worse than Williams last year (at the end of the season Ferrari just gave up on developing the 2014 car, Williams were far better on the last races), this year they're on their level.

I'm sure Alonso has some kind of clause that allows him to leave if the car doesn't perform.

WilliamsRacing: Following a series of tests, the FIA Medical Delegate has deemed @ValtteriBottas unable to race today. The team respect's the FIA's decision

:(

This thread is so dead. Nobody cares about F1 over here?

So it seems but F1 has a pretty niche fan base for most.

I'd love to follow F1 religiously again but the time differences are killer now that I'm older.

Time difference is fine for me, it's just boring as dogshit right now, turned off after lap 10 or so

Was planning to stay up for it but I fell asleep. Looks like I didn't miss much.

Red Bull motorsport advisor Helmut Marko has warned that the Austrian firm could pull out of Formula 1, claiming that the current regulations "will kill the sport".

Four-time world championship-winning outfit Red Bull endured a tough weekend in the season-opening Australian Grand Prix, with Daniel Ricciardo coming home a distant sixth and Daniil Kvyat's car failing before the start.

http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/118081

Were they threatening to leave last couple of years or is it only now? Either way, bring back the V10s. If Lamborghini and Ferrari can have flagship V10s available to the consumer, no reason Formula 1 can't.

reilo, Red Bull Racing is the LA Clippers of F1. They bitch about EVERYTHING that doesn't benefit them, with Cristian Horner (team principal/manager) being their CP3.

They won four consecutive driver's and constructor's champions ships with BY FAR the best aerodynamic chassis in the series with plenty of corners cut but never once cried out for a rebalancing of the aerodynamic regulations. Now that the regulations and arrangements aren't conducive to their benefit, they bitch and moan and threaten with their annual threat to pull out of the sport.

Do I think it's healthy for the sport that the Renault engine is shit? No. But I'm tired of Red Bull's "woe is me" routine. Every long time dynasty takes it's lumps after their run is over. Ferrari post Schumi (except for the single Kimi championship), Renault/Lotus after Fernando left the first time and now Red Bull.

If the pull out, fine. Before Red Bull took over, the team was Jaguar. Before Jaguar came about, it was Stewart Racing. Someone (Audi?!) will take over and F1 will be fine. Haas is coming aboard with what looks like true customer Ferrari cars next year. Renault will have had another year to sort out their engine, Mercedes is still here and Honda will have hopefully gotten their act together as well by then.




but yes, the V10s were amazing. :/

This Renault/Red Bull war of words is really starting to take off.

http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2015/mar/27/formula-one-2015-renault-quit-red-bull?CMP=share_btn_tw

Renault Sport F1 managing director Cyril Abiteboul did not pull any punches when asked at a news conference about the situation. “I can confirm that we are looking at a lot of options, including getting out of Formula One,” he said.

Red Bull need to be careful because I'm not sure they'll get another engine from anyone else and they're a fair bit off attempting to build their own.

Hopefully a decent improvement for McLaren this weekend. Expected them to struggle badly with the heat of Sepang, but no engine blowouts yet and pace not as awful as expected.

Ferrari is looking really strong!! Raikkonen gr8 as well. I will wait for the qualifying just to be sure. Mercedes and Williams could be hiding their real power.

McLaren. :*(

Verstappen starting from the third tomorrow. Absolutely sensational. Gonna get up early to watch the race on BBC. Well that's the plan at least. 

Imagine Alonso right now.

Just finished watching quali, great lap by Lewis in that first half of Q3! Also, I can't even imagine being 17 and having the maturity to deal with what a gran prix driver has to handle. Props to Max.

Also, Nico looks plain shook. Dude just isn't able to do what Lewis has been able to thus far. No idea what he was doing in Q3.

Great job by Seb taking advantage of the conditions to equalize pace between the Merc and Ferrari to split Nico and Lewis.

As for Fernando, I think he needed desperately needed a change of scenery. I feel like he's hedging bets on Ferrari stealing Lewis away next year and a seat opening up at Mercedes. I think that scenario is plausible if Lewis wins his third title this year.

Looking forward to this race. Hoping for some weather to spice it up!

Excited that its not Mercedes 1-2 again after qualifying.  

Race is at 3am for me.  Not sure if I want to stay up or wake up early.

I can't see Lewis leaving Mercedes, he could easily win this championship and perhaps the next. Nico is beating himself at the moment. Last year he had pace over a lap to keep him afloat, it may yet come back, but right now he looks lost.

I think Lewis leaving is a possiblity if and only if he hits that magical third championship. After that, he can go hit that other Formula 1 milestone and drive for the Scuderia.

As for Nico, well... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoYZf-lBF_U">let's just say this is what he is right now. 

Sebastian.

Ferrari is back :)))

Great race this

we are baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaacccccccccccccccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

Forza Ferrari!!! Wow, what a race by Seb!!

Mercedes really botched Hamilton's tire strategy. Seb was amazing today, WHAT A DRIVE.

there's no team porsche this year?

Fell asleep during the race but just finished it.  So glad that another team looks to be competitive.  The williams fight for fifth at the end was fun too.

Lol Rosberg. Get good, not bitchy.

Missed this weekend's race with work, ill watch the highlights tonight. Saw a few tweets about it, why didn't Rosberg just pass Lewis when he was complaining he was too slow? Has he just given in and is officially playing second fiddle? 

Maldonado is so ridiculous.

Maldonado is so ridiculous.

Rosberg felt the target lap time (to manage the front tyres) was too slow as it was backing him into Ferrari.

He was however 3+ seconds behind Hamilton so it wasn't a case of being in the dirty air.

Nico is on tilt.

Decent FP3 for McLaren. Button did well, hopefully the lower temps for qualy will allow for more horsepower and both cars can make it out of Q1.

Finally a race i can watch without being half asleep!

Anyone know where I can watch highlights of practice/qualifying/race? Not specifically for this race, but I've noticed that F1 has the internet locked down on any unofficial uploads. NBCSN Live Extra lets me watch the full replays but I'm looking for something less time consuming. Sky seems to lock down their highlights to users and BBC isn't reliable for me.

Renault sucks donkey balls, they have no business in F1 anymore with that crap.

F1 is boring this year. Its all about Hamilton and no one else. Reminds me of Schumacer days.
Although its miles more exciting than WRC (Seb Loeb every damn year)

I think its more fun than last season. The battle for 2-4 is fun to watch and Rosberg fucking up every week is an interesting story.

Haha, indeed. Roseberg is one moody guy.
Although I sort of feel bad for him because the team obviously support Hamilton way more, but yeah, last season, he had the chance t actually win the whole thing, but messed it up somehow in the last few races.

Formula One 2016 season to begin in April – the latest start since 1988

Rumours Australia won't be the first race either.

Rumors of Bottas having a pre-contract with Ferrari similar to what Seb signed while at Red Bull. The way that works is Kimi goes to be #1 at Haas next year which is basically shaping up to be Ferrari's Toro Rosso even though they won't admit it and Valteri joins Seb at the Scuderia. I think Bottas is a champ in waiting, hoping Ferrari can keep building and give him a winner if this does come to fruition.

Also:
Grosjean's rear end exploded.

As I was going to change the channel Max crashed and Mercedes fucked up. Incredible.

What a boring race and season it has been though.

Ham was proper mad. Fuck me.

I need some gifs.

Worst Canadian GP in forever. GG Bernie.

Also Nico stays getting denied info about Lewis lol

Ya that wasn't great now was it. Kimi some eejit, spinning.

Kimi doesn't deserve his seat. Go for Bottas already Ferrari, future world champion material.
