I must admit I would prefer this over another desert shithole.

The (leaked) proposed track layout looks pretty interesting too. Though they're going street track again.

Not a fan of them wanting to "branch out" from "Europe-centric" though, that implies losing too many of the great tracks we currently have.
Ehh I think street circuits almost always produce boring races, except when hilarious bullshit like this happens:
Also if you want to reach a wider audience what's the point of adding a third race in Latin America? It already has a fairly large and evidently enthusiastic audience for F1 and motorsports in general.

Frankly at this point as long as its not murica or the middle east I'm all for it. I would prefer a proper circuit over a street circuit but at least they ain't building another Tilke ring.
 
There's only two locations that would make sense for south America. Argentina and Brazil. Rest are either too poor or too unstable. The Caribbean track would make sense as a replacement for the Miami event, if only because parking lot tracks should be thrown to the bin.

I mean Bolivia would be great because if you think altitude fucks you in Mexico deal with this shit. Other than that though its a poor shithole with nothing to offer.

I think a GP of the Caribbean would be great to watch hambone sweat about if he claims the Caribbean or Africa as his "mother land" like he went on about with the Kialami rumours a while back (not that he has any South african ancestry at all of course).
 
I just hope Lando doesn't get as high on his own farts as Hambone has. Lewis was quite likable when he started out, but as he won more championships and people started blowing more smoke up his ass, he became insufferable. Here's hoping he only reaches Nigel Mansell levels of cuntishness; Bernie's Second Law of F1 states that there has to be at least one cunty English driver on the F1 grid at any given time. You can trace it back to the '70s and James Hunt (maybe even beforehand), but at least Hunt wore his cuntishness well. Probably due to the obvious rhyming slang opportunity this presented.
Hey guys, long time no post. Those fucking gay men wearing women's clothes need to fuck off and bother some other forum. I was able to mostly get in here and there but just now catching up onn this thread.

I had to post a quick comment onn thjis one @Pee Cola. I watched the Euro Forumla Open series races again. Less than 10m cars usually in the race, but still something to watch I guess. LOL

Anyway, there is a young black driver in the seriues and I often wondered a couple things about him. If he does well, would he also become a wannabe nig and thug like Ham? Or would he not follow suit? And since he is a black driver and young, why isn't LH getting involved with him? Maybe he is, I don't go seeking out info about these drivers, just watch the races and remember their names when they start moving up and looking like potential F1 material, like Drugo.

So, seeing your post about Ham made me think about that guy (his name is Josh Mason) and I felt maybe I should warn you and the others that there might be "another" who slides or grifts their way into F1 and starts acting like a rapper. I am sure you will probably see him in F3, perhaps this year. The good thing is, by today's standards he is too old. He will be 21 start of season next year. And I assume will be in his first years of F3. So, chances of him getting to F1 relatively slim. Unless Hambone latches on and starts putting his money behind him to buy him a seat, maybe even a title. Kinda like how Daddy Stroll is doing just that, although currently failing miserably in his efforts.

But, the good news is, he pretty much sucks, lots of errors and bonehead moves and just doesn't have the race pace or inherent speed. He actually got lucky to score at least 1 of his wins this year as I remember the race. Looking at the table of results, in addition to 3 wins, he got 2 seconds and 2 thirds. Remember, in a field of usually 9 drivers. So, he was on podium 7 times in 27 races. Meanwhile, the guy who won the title (Oliver Goethe), and who also made 2 starts in F3 this year scoring points too, had 11 wins, 2 seconds, 5 thirds. Mason had 1 fastest lap, Goethe over 10.

Just a heads up, could still have to deal with the BLM or whatever new racial garbage is being slobbered over in a few years if by some fluke this guy starts coming through with results.

As for streams, I have used pirate streams for more than 5 years now I am sure. The odd time I get timeout or not so great graphics, but for the most part, considering I pay nothing to watch everything, I am quite happy. I have about 10 different sites bookmarked so can usually find one stable and good, but there are two in particular I have that always work great for me. Others I check when desperate or some issue with the main sites I use, but that is a rare event.

If we are all still here when March rolls around, no worry, it is always a mission for me to find all the stream sites that seem the best and I will post them all in thread when I do.

The team should have rid itself of Austrian influence at the earliest opportunity. Toto Wolff and Niki Lauda were the main culprits, as much as it pains me to say for the latter.
I'll give Lauda a pass on that one. The bloke is tough as nails, has balls of steel and is still the greatest pay driver of all time*. He has every right to think highly of himself.

Yeah, I know some would class Senna as a pay driver... but he was about as much of a pay driver as Checo is i.e. he had sponsors lined up rather than a family fortune to buy his way into the sport, ergo that doesn't count IMHO.

Yeah, seems like he left his run a bit late for F1. Maybe he'll end up in IndyCar and become another Willy T. Ribbs instead.

I would love hambone trying to start his own darky team like that cringy indy car thing they were going on about before the US GP. Like well done you went out and found a bunch of people based on their skin colour and openly announce the fact they're all diversity hires.
 
Glad to be back lads.

Max has had an amazing season. Props to him for really running away with it and keeping his head screwed on straight.

Also congrats to Adrian Newey. I believe it's 23 Championships now, between Constructors and Drivers, in cars he's designed from the 90s until today. That's impressive stuff.

I heard somewhere that Newey's contribution to the RB18 is chiefly in the suspension.

Regardless, the RB18 is quite an interesting machine. It looks like any F1 car at the top, but viewed from underneath it makes everyone else look like their car was designed by a team of grugs. The word going around technical forums is that the RB18 is not a true ground effect car (whatever that means) but rather relies more on diffuser performance. Again, whatever that means.

It'll be interesting to see what other teams will do for next year. Slim podders are all pretty much gone except for the Merc. Will they also adopt a complex floor like that on the Red Bull?

I'm curious as well. Mercedes seems to be really hell bent on not admitting defeat and keeping the slim pods. Seeing how everyone comes to testing is going to be really interesting, paired swith the new tires.
 
Lando is ill and guess who might replace him?

I'm trying to work out when according to the Hamilcopers, Lewis actually started spanking George anyone care to help?

Also something no one would have expected at the start of the season, AM is within striking distance of AR. (53 vs 49)

Might do an amateur junior series write up as bored, drinking too much and I get to mention Mads Hoe again.

Well, their stance is that it's only a different take on the regulations and it has little to with the actual problem. Time will tell.
 
K Mag on pole is just great to see. More poles than Hambone this season as well. Hopefully the Haas can keep from being too much of a shitter such that K Mag can turn it into a podium. :optimistic: ofc.
 
Let's see if the Sprint will be rainy. They have stated that the forecast predicted rain for saturday and sunday. Who knows if they even race. I mean this isn't the F1 from the 90's anymore (just take a look at what they did with the Peraltada in Mexico)

 
The downside to taking this pole is its a shitty sprint. So pretty much meaningless for the GP.

The TV director in this session was terrible even by F1 tv standards. Just a pedophile who wanted to stare at kids all afternoon rather than showing any on track action.
 
Viking power! That was a great lap, regardless if rain/red flag helped him seal it, he did the best lap out of the 8 who had a lap in. I don't think the extra few seconds start he had out of the pits over everyone made that big of a deal either. Great lap, nice to see!!

I thought the same thing man! It was like he was paid by some of the rich creeps to scope out kids in the crowd. Weird. A Formula Euro or FREC series race just recently I watched was same thing. The camera would suddenly cut to a couple of under 20 females in the paddock, and stay on them for a fair amount of time, close to 10 seconds. He even went back to them 2 or 3 times during the race. I am pretty sure one was dressed skimpy or something? I remembered thinking, yeah I can see why you went back to show them again! LOL It was fucking surreal while watching that race man when that happened, it was so fucking weird. And then today, same thing when kids kept being shown. So, I welcome your comment as it ain't just me noticing that creepy stuff.

I don't foresee Kevin winning sprint sadly, but if its weird bad track conditions, he has a better chance for sure of at least getting podium, which is what I am hoping for. Should be a good sprint though.

Yeah, for fun @Coccxys I went back to look and found that race where the camera operator was trying to score with some young girls or something.
Then less than 2 minutes later:
And again, two minutes later.
For 3 consecutive laps, that particular camera was focused on those girls, who admittedly weren't children, but they definitely had an air of jailbait about them.

Whatever the case, it was so strange watching the race and then that happens. Just now while finding the exact timings I see even chat was talking about it. There are probably more shots too of the girls at some point during the race, but that repetitive portion I specifically remembered, when it came time to switch to that view, the camera showed the girls. Whatever, fucking weird is all I can say, and same with that shit today.

Honestly, if Kevin comes out of turn 1 in the lead I'd be pleasantly surprised. I'm just hoping for points for him in the sprint which would still be a great start for him on Sunday.

Praying for rain to make things more interesting
