F1 2015

It's not as if the public will decide the outcome though (that would have been a nice touch), I feel after how much of a humungous mess they made with choosing the driver line-up this year they've done this to try and make people go WOO for #teammclaren again. I'm still very annoyed about the whole driver line-up debacle, it was totally unnecessary.

I have to say I'd like to see them back in red/white and back to the performance level of when they used to be red/white.

I totally forgot the F1's were on this weekend.

 

 

Usually I can hear them from the city :jealous:

Source: Auto, Motor und Sport, based on the information they have of what Mercedes F1 presented in a technology discussion group thing something gathering.

[CarMadMike]

That seems like it would be quite detrimental to your view, for example at the start where you have cars at every angle around you.

 

Nice idea but I'm really not sure how it worked unless it was strong enough to float.

[CLR-GTR]

I think it's stupid. That often-showed render of an enclosed Ferrari future F1 car (among last slideshow pictures) looks a million times better, and might bé better aerodynamically and practically.

I think it's a bold concept it won't happen and it looks ugly.

[TDUZoqqer]

dat windshield doe. Will it improve anything at all?

[hassan1995]

Safety apparently.

[CarMadMike]

My interpretation is that the main bit isn't the windscreen but the protection that the bar would provide if for example a loose wheel was hurtling in that direction.

Glad about hammy being on pole position, especially with 6 10ths over Rosberg, a rather large gap.

 

McLaren though, on the back row? Both drivers are world champions, sort it out, you're an embarrassment. It's a shame it's such a secretive sport, I'd love to hear the reasons and the exact moment over the past few years when they all got a bit crap at their job

gg wp no re, bring on 2016 :lol:

[CLR-GTR]

Just saw footage of Mad Max' doing a lap, drove well and managed to pull off a nice save too. I wonder what he'll be able to accomplish tomorrow :)

[CarMadMike]

Will someone translate Santtu's post for me? :huh:

[T1M]

Of course Ferrari start doing better when Alonso leaves :fp:

 

Pretty good Quali though, nice to see McLaren are still on form! :D

[Ryzza5]

Will someone translate Santtu's post for me? :huh:

 

good going windows phone no recovery environment

[CarMadMike]

Oh, I read it as:

 

Golly Gosh, what pitiful non-racing eeeedyuts.

 

I haven't decided if i'm going to get up for the race yet.

[CarMadMike]

And you'll never guess who the first person to cause a race safety car is this year: http://hasmaldonadocrashedtoday.com/

[superhyper]

Good game, well played, no regrets.

 

Mercedes will win the WCC because nobody else can finish a race :lol:

 

[TDUFREAK500]

Well that was boring.

[Camel]

What an incredibly boring race. :yawn:

 

I think I fell to sleep somewhere around lap 30 and woke up just as the British national anthem started playing. :)

 

I was at least expecting Rosberg to put up some sort of fight or at least some battles in the midfield, bit nope, there was hardly anything. :(

 

I'd like it if the races could be like last year again, please!

[CarMadMike]

After the whole confusion of which track the German GP would be held at in 2015, the answer is.... *drumroll*

 

NONE

 

The development comes at the end of a protracted back-and-forth between Bernie Ecclestone, the Nürburgring and Hockenheim. For the past several years, the two iconic German circuits have alternated hosting the race, but while it was the Nürburgring's turn to host this year, a change in ownership put that in jeopardy. The grand prix looked set to switch to Hockenheim as a result, but the circuit owners and race promoters proved unable to reach an agreement with Ecclestone and his Formula One Management company, scuttling the prospect.

[Ryzza5]

Just get them to race up the autobahn... with traffic of course.

 

I'd watch it.

[CarMadMike]

:eek: Just think of the multi-car pile up that Maldonado would cause.

 

Though he doesn't really need an autobahn to cause one to be fair.
