No, the seed were sprouting in the 50's. It started with the mass consumerism and commodification of everything. Add in the learning institutions were already filled with communists fucks, and no wonder the 60's happened and ruined everything. Fucking hippies, man.

Lando is going to be amazing assuming he doesn't fuck it all up. He probably the dankest memester on the grid and he takes the fight to drivers he has no business trying to drive against. What's not to love?
It's nice that they renamed a lot of the corner to the old ones. They used to be just sponsor names but now the first corner is the same name as the old first corner.

Lincoln Taylor
But the shape is the same I mean, if you'd put the Red Bull RIng and the Osterreichring side by side at roughly the same dimension one could easily tell is the same track with turns redisgned Kyalami is a different track, they are similar only for being narrower on one side than another

No one outside of there cared about racing for a minute and by the time they wanted to race again their old infrastructure was insufficient so buying put other teams was more cost effective than buying all the facilities and equipment needed to start a team at home. Because no one else cared all the talent of engineers ect was based there too so it was cheaper to keep them at home than pay so much they would be willing to move
Jordan Adams
Based and Prostpilled.
Nolan Rogers
Post WW2 was a fertile ground for british motorsport with a lot of aeronautical engineers, abandoned airfields and the birth of TV.
Many teams popped in the 60s and the sport had a lot of popular success there (especially as the british began dominating) consolidating the Motorsport valley in England. Today British politician have set up a lot of grants/programs to favour investment and business for these teams too.
Finally manufacturers aren't really keen on building team from scratch as it basically requires billions in spendings so they just buy a team there and put their badges on it. Like that they can easily enter and exit the sport when needed by selling it to another manufacturer.

That would be the baby Neweymobile. Even if he knew about it prior to being sold out I doubt he'd get a slot as a current driver for a rival team. After all AM said they could've sold 750 Valkyries if they wanted to, that is the amount of people were willing to drop a deposit.
Brody Hill
I agree, beside muh noise the Valkyrie and sons will appreciate in value simply because they are lightweight supercars. Every year more safety shit bogs new cars down, making it impossible to reach the same dry weight. Valkyrie could be 100 kg lighter than its nearest competitor and maybe another 100 lighter than the average.
Series 2 Lotus Elises and Exiges, which are horrible uncomfortable and typically unreliable, bottomed out at the end of their production run and have been appreciating since then (I've seen Exiges go from $45k to $60K nearby). The consensus is that this is simply because you can't buy a car as nimble and lightweight as these were anymore. Maybe you can build one, if you want a Caterham, but that also brings a huge, painful, and obviously annoying government inspection process.
Jeremiah James

Valkyrie is ~1100kg/2425freedoms kerb. That is a silly amount lighter than any other hybrid hypercar. Only car lighter in the same class in Murray's F1 2.0, and that is a car with effectively a downscaled Valkyrie engine, without the hybrid so a lot less overall power and built as an all rounder instead of a track ubermensch.

Hamilton has a LaFerrari despite that he's an unterhunden
The One is being delayed a lot, and I doubt they are radically changing the design. It is just a really hard powertrain to get in a road car. So without a more aggressive chassis, they will fail.

Lads, do you prefer to support your favorite team(s) or your favorite driver(s)? If you support based on team, would your most hated driver moving to your favorite team make you like the team less? And contrarily, if you support certain drivers, would their move to a team you hate make you stop supporting them?
Example, I can't stand Hamilel, but if he moved to my boys in the Red Bull Honda (emphasis on Honda), I'd 100% support him there. Or if Gimi moved to Mercedes I'd be all about him going for a second WDC.

Andrew Jenkins
You should just have to homologate your car's aero/cooling/bodywork setup before Friday practice. You can run whatever you like during practice, but you have to revert it before FP3. Also, there should be a staggered time limit in FP1 and FP2 based on your championship standing, so 1st gets 30 minutes, 2nd gets 35 minutes, 3rd gets 40 minutes, 4th gets 50 minutes, 5th gets 60 minutes, 6th gets 70 minutes, 7th gets 80 minutes, 8th 95, 9th 110, 10th 120. Also there should be a practice compound of tire which is way harder than the race compound and each car gets only one set of it per practice session, so a puncture puts them out for the rest of it.
Justin Scott
Wew lad, moving the goal post while also overreacting. That's a new level. I never mentioned a German country just germans, besides KGL was formed after Napoleon sacked Hanover so they were mostly had expatriated soldiers. Why do poles get so upset?
Owen Hernandez
Or 1st in last year's WCC gets 1 tyre set per FP, 3 for Q and 2 for race 2nd gets 1 extra, can use in session of their choice 3rd gets 2 extra 4th gets 3 extra and so on

I would keep it to within the season. It would prevent a Brawn GP thing where one team comes out of nowhere with a super fast car and then never gets balanced back down over the course of the season. The big thing for me is I want to take away the "tire wizardry" that we kind of have with the current tires, where if you learn how to utilize the tires you can predict much better the race and strategy and can also set up the car to get the most out of them. To me, using a Friday-specific or tire or even one kind of tire for all of free practice would solve pretty much all of that. I also want to go back to the Prime/Option way of things, with only the two compounds (we can still call them Hard/Soft), where the Option is mandatory for Qualifying by way of being much much softer than the Prime, and the Prime being hard enough to last the whole race and then some, to encourage drivers to push hard on it the whole way through.
I think my ideal format for the whole weekend would be: >FP1 120min Practice Compound, up to 2 sets >FP2 120min Practice Compound, up to 2 sets >FP3, 90min Prime only 1 set allowed >Q1, One-shot only (to punish fuck ups and potentially allow slower cars through), top 16 progress Option, up to 2 sets >Q2, Two 8min sessions, top 8 go first, then bottom 8, top 10 progress Option, 1 set only >Q3, One 10min session Option, 2 sets >Front row shootout, one lap from a standing start between the top 2 cars Option >Race Start on fresh Options, only allowed to change to Prime, no limit on number Primes allowed, but expected not to drop off so multi-stop strategies aren't advantageous. Also no tire warmers.
I know it's too autistic to put into place but I think it would be a really good way to mix things up without unfairly nerfing faster cars too much. Also for the rules regarding bodywork changes, have it only be a 3-place grid drop for each part you change (floor, wing, etc) so that it's still ok to change them if it's absolutely needed.
Thomas Russell
kek, what's the point? no buzz/satisfaction from them at all.
Michael Williams
>multi-stop strategies aren't advantageous Retard, one of the biggest reasons F1 sucks shit is stupid 1-stop
Ryder Hughes
Woops, that should say >Q1 Option, one set only, obviously >Q2 Option, up to two sets
I want to cut down on pit stops as much as possible since it's a cop out that allows teams to wait to pass cars off-track instead of having to fight for it. The idea behind encouraging different strategies is that it means cars with different paces are on track at the same time, but it doesn't pan out that way as there's pretty much always one optimal strategy, and deviations from it are either strategi regretti or forced by safety cars. All that means Mercedes, who don't fuck up on strategy, fuck off from the front of the grid and then France happens. The prefect one-stop strategies are the reason for shitty races not because there's only one stop and there's no variation in strategy (though that is what defeats the purpose of having multiple supposedly race-viable compounds), but in the fact that, because the tires are designed to last only the distance of the race, combined with the massive loss of downforce when following a car, they overheat and lose grip after a couple laps of following, meaning overtaking on track is actually punished by the tires. Having tires that can easily handle sliding due to loss of grip and which can be pushed hard for the whole race, means waiting until pit stops to overtake isn't viable, and that on-track passing and close racing isn't punished later in the race. Combine that with regulations that reduce the downforce loss in dirty air and one- or even no-stop racing makes a lot more sense. Does it stop Mercedes from fucking off at the front? Not really, but it at least means they at least have to give 100% the whole way and can't rely on their buffer of dirty air to keep cars behind them.
Henry Howard
>Q1, One-shot only >Option, up to 2 sets what is the second set for if you only get one shot (one opportunity)??
Juan Harris

Funny. It was pretty much the same for me. Thinking about it, probably for many people out there. Hamilton going to Ferrari (hypothetically, because he won't) would result in the same thing. Some drivers are just that dislikable.
Henry Wood
>kek, what's the point? no buzz/satisfaction from them at all.
But that's fucking stupid. All no-stop tyres achieve is even bigger gaps between cars and no one would dare to attack due to nonexistent tyre advantage.
Caleb Evans
I disliked Ferrari from the beginning. ultraboring SWL was the cause. (to zoomers hearing stories about how great the Schumacher era was, it is all lies) I only started to like Ferrari in the last 5-10 years. if Hamilton would move to Ferrari, I don't know if I would support them still. same with RBR, I was a fan, but since I dislike amx so much, I noticed I have started to dislike RBR too
Gabriel Jenkins
I still think SWL was better objectively because look at how many different teams won from 2000 to 2004 as opposed to 2014 to 2019, many of them even on pace rather than Ferrari tripping over themselves
Jackson Bennett
Fucking this.
Jace Kelly
But races as they are right now almost universally end up with the cars stratified by their pace. France toward the end of the race (until Lando's problem on the last lap) had literally only two cars out of place, Gasly and Raikkonen. It's clear that even with pit stops the cars still stratify out and passing doesn't really happen, certainly not without DRS aid. Unless you want to actively give following cars an advantage over the car ahead, even more so than with DRS, there's always going to be trouble passing the car in front; and as long as you have the current tires and regulations around them there will always be an optimal tire strategy and it will almost always be a one-stop.
2013 was the last year that cars could be made fast for less than $500 million.

They produced the best car and Vettel had to fight for it. Don't know why that would be any more undeserving than any other championship winner. Do you feel that Brawn GP and Button deserved it?
Henry Rogers
>Button lmao >Ross Brawn got lucky, he didn't build the car, but still he made the right call to take car of the team >the team and the designer very much so
Jose Johnson
got lucky in the sense that if he did a better job the years before Honda wouldn't have left and Brawn GP would have never happened
Michael Gray
>Macau will use the """F3"""
No more DRAGON competing at Macau. Fuck off FIA you utter shits
Luke Myers
Well, but who was the last deserving champion then? Driver or car? If getting lucky and having the best car disqualify you from deserving success, how many in the history of this sport DO deserve it?
Joseph Edwards
Gimi
James Long
Okay. Anyone else?
Justin Stewart
Miga :DDD
Leo Richardson
Lmfao that's going to be so dangerous. Those cars are way faster than normal F3 cars.
Blake Thomas
kimi is a hack fraud just like alonso
Sebastian Jackson
Keke

Arguable, but let's just assume that's true. Then we get one every 10, maybe 15 years. Not really that many.
>The circuit is undoubtedly one of the most challenging anywhere in the world, and safety remains the top priority for the FIA, with several updates being made ahead of the 2019 edition including the re-profiling of the barriers at Lisboa corner.
What is the likely hood that in a month or two they reveal that the re-profiling isn't enough and they have to put a chicane at Mandarin? We get none of the nice varied grid of Japan and Europe. The biggest F3 race of the year has been reduced to a fucking non-championship round of FIA """F3"""

Close, lets see what it is.

Hunter Walker
Remember that Zak Brown posts with a non-burger flag most times. He'll have a UK flag for now probably.

Alonso to Red Bull mid season would be the most kino F1 move ever, even Alonso haters would agree
>Alonso replaces Gasly >gets btfo by Verstappen >starts being cancerous like usual and makes everyone in the team feel miserable >the team falls to the back of the grid >Red Bull pulls out of F1
you're absolutely right. of course it was still better than the last 5 extremely boring seasons! I didn't say that it wasn't. I just said that it was boring too and not super exciting at all.
>Alonso replaces Gasly >gets btfo by Verstappen >starts being cancerous like usual and makes everyone in the team feel miserable >the team falls to the back of the grid >Alonso pulls out of F1 (again) >RBWL FTFY
