Probably about the "Lightning Volt" that the company has been renamed to. Intriguingly, the "BDG Group" which seems to have taken control of Rich Energy Ltd. from William Storey are, in their own words, the "leading unlicensed insolvency practitioners". They also hold a host of other companies which they have renamed to generic names, in order to dissolve them. There will definitely be very interesting developments on this case.

I hate the front wing, and the rear wing is too Indycar, but the rest of it is ok. Hopefully they keep some of the structures around the front of the sidepods for a bit of complexity there.
Owen Stewart
>I hate the front wing >Finally FIA stops being scared of the Y250 >Hate it
Jace Phillips
Oh I love that they got rid of the opening in the middle, it's just the whole wing is way too big. If they're going ground effect there's no reason the wing needs to be so big, bring it all the way inboard of the front wheels like we used to have.

Try a can and tell us how it tastes, then keep the rest until the value skyrockets due to memes and you can flog 'em on eBay for twenty times the original cost (hopefully).
Does anyone have that picture of Vettel that has been photoshopped (or put through a filter of some kind) to make him look really old, like 60+? Someone posted it the other day and I laughed at it, I should have saved it.

I think I prefer the V8 sound to the V10 sound. But the old V12s sounded best of all of them. The V10s were too whiny really.
>2006-2010 >when cars really looked like futuristic starships
I miss it
Ethan Sanders
Maybe it's because the V10 reminds me of when I was a depressed kid. Also I didn't care about F1 as much back then, I cared more about video games. Also I think it reminds me of my parents despising each other on a weekend. Why they didn't get divorced years earlier than they did is beyond me.
And no it's not "bait" just because I'm not conforming to your circlejerk bullshit, you fucking idiot.

Imo anything without halo is better than today’s cars
Luis Gray
I like it. It looks ugly for production car, but it looks fine for open wheeler
Tyler Richardson
I think they looked good mate.
I mean obviously many aspects in past eras were very cool and the modern day isn't perfect but I feel like people are way too quick to just post "OLD GOOD, NEW BAD" type posts.
I can't concieve in my mind how people can find these rear wings even remotely pleasing to the eye, on top of that they even destroyed the only good part of these cars by making the noses have wonky shapes
Asher Bennett
They looked fine except for the retarded skinny rear wing.
Levi Lopez
dude hueg rear wing lmao
Colton Johnson
Don't forget the penis noses
Luis Carter
They occasionally pop up on ebay in fuck huge sizes (Americans, of course) if you search “indy 500 hawaiian shirt”. Ocassionally the are also mislabeled as “formula 1 hawaiian shirt” in which case the person probably doesn’t know what it is and the price is incredibly low.
This one is actually a steal because it’s a large and only $60. I have seen them sell for as much as $150 online.
At least the dicks were meme incidente though. The wing was deliberate by the FIA.
Parker Rogers
At least the wing was designed and worked at what it was for, not just "lamo wide and low is good". Blown diffusers and other incidente is what fucked those specs
Nathan Sullivan
Bottas says if Mercedes dumps him he would want to go to Ferrari. Nice.
Gabriel James
Never liked the 99 lucky strike livery. 2004-2006 was so much better. Kinda sad they never used a proper 555 livery, would have been amazing and iconic like the WRC Subarus

Kevin Thompson
>implying increased floor downforce worsens the dirty air problem Yeah, nah.
Charles Phillips
The bottom one looks far better 'ate futuristic stuff simple as
Thomas Long
as test driver?
Jordan Davis
I think the wings looked cool, yes they were a little unusual when they first came in, but I think they were cool. Even the 2009 cars I think looked good. But then 2010 - 2013 a lot of the noses got higher and I think that looked worse, personally - I like the lower noses.
>noses Most of them were fine, only the 2014 Caterham was a bit weird, and they made it much less bad during the year too.
Source? He probably could since Vettel is getting so shit.
Grosjean had his first F1 race around 10 years ago and he still is nobody's favourite driver
Evan Reed
No that's not what I'm implying. I'm implying the imbalance of how some teams did it better and others did it too late ect made it bad. If everyone did it day one at about the same level the 2009-2016 specs would be looked at as the best racing in F1 history. It was some of the best racing despite that anyway 2bh. Though any long term stability with rules tends on that direction anyway. All they needed to add was the element limit for front wings and maybe the brake ducts part and it would have only gotten better too.
Benjamin Butler
can't drive for shit, but he's entertaining.
Owen Perry
>Bottas goes to the horse team >Emilia attends every race
Isaiah Ward
That would be an improvement for Ferrari
Leo Adams
>Most of them were fine No, only RB maybe can be saved, but no
Merc is probably the best, RBR is decent, Ferrari would look fine if it wasnt so low for so far, Williams isn't too bad and could ve fixed to be similar to RBR if the penis was shorter, McLaren isn't too bad either and in the same boat as williams. The rest all look like a regular ish nose with a dildo slapped on
Ryder Ward
>yfw the ground effect cars will get someone killed
this one has an even wider front wing than we have now
Camden Baker

Nolan Reed
>jules bianchi nonced ocon's ex
Robert Davis
I think they all look fine apart from Ferrari, I will concede theirs looks fucking awful. That slope. And then it's like squashed at the bottom. Disgusting.
Bottas and Leclerc will fight for dominance and whoever has the least points after a couple of races becomes the Barrichello.
Maybe that's why I like it so much.

Actually the 2014 and 2015 Ferraris are probably two of my least favourite cars from that era, because their noses look weird and squashed. The 2016 looks much better though, in my view, because the nose looks much better.
Russel's looks broekn, fucking hell will Kubica's exposure never end?
Ian Ortiz
The better driver is the first one to get the upgrades, Kubica had 9 races to fight Russel with equal equipment. It's probably photoshop. I can see polish cripple apologists going that far
Go back to your facebook shitpage looking for "muh car diffirences" with other seasonal who came to watch f1 only because Kubica is back only to repair your fragile national ego He's a mediocre driver with shit car, deal with it
Jayden Murphy
One of the best looking F1 cars was the 2012 Mclaren MP4/27 to be desu. It was so long and sleek and it had the lower nose but without a step like all the other cars. I know long cars are a meme now but it was only the third year of the long meme so it wasn't so bad, and the chrome paint looks phenomenal. Other top tier looking cars in recent memory are the Brawn, which had a phenomenal nose. The tall wings I think looked really good. I get the complaint that they were too narrow but I like high rear wings. It's why I think the 2019 cars are better looking than 2017-18, and tbdesu this year's Merc is gorgeous except for the cock nose.
Those were super cool but I don't think they were pretty. They're more just a really unique and interesting bit of design, like the 2014 Ferrari's nose, where it's not *hideous* but it's not *gorgeous* it's just kinda weird.
Generally for me I think of the current crop of cars, but to me the iconic "F1" car is the 1991 Ferrari 642. Red, low, v12, sleek but boxy, simple; it has everything I want in an F1 car.
oglądam od 1999, mam robercika w sumie gdzieś, ty zły?

I agree that McLaren looks awesome. And I agree the Brawn looked awesome too.
They were pretty cool.
>Ferrari 2014 nose Was one of the most disgusting noses ever. It definitely IS hideous. Looks like someone just flattened a normal nose.
Bentley Bennett
Yeah that was a great car.
Amazing looking car. I was born in '91 so obviously I never watched those early '90s Ferraris race, but they do look fucking awesome. Probably some of the best looking F1 cars ever.
from 1989 to like 1994 they were all pretty much perfect lol. The 1991 Jordan and the 1993 Williams are also great examples.
Evan Reed
v6s cant into revs man, even back in the day when you could use tons of engines per season
Matthew Green
They were saying higher fuel flow limits and bigger (ugh) fuel tanks to encourage teams to rev higher, since right now they're limited to 14k but generally don't go past 11-12k. I think they were also gonna go up to 15 or 16k limit
David Hall
And yet the teams won't go any higher because the budget cap will probably mean that they can only use two engines per season
Jason Brown
lmop probably
Eli Garcia

not him, but you need to consider the humidity, not just the temperature. 40° dry heat in spain is fine. 20° here if the humidity is high is not pleasant.

20 really isn't very high no matter what the moisture content of the air is. Honestly I don't think I am someone who pays attention to, or can even tell, what humidity feels like, apart from when I'm in a steam room or sauna. Maybe I would be able to tell the difference if I paid attention to it.
But anyway, you're looking Brits look bad, implying that we all start melting as soon as it gets to a temperature that is not at all hot. Remember that room temperature is usually given as like 21 degrees.
>opening your window when it's 10 or 12 degrees What the actual fuck.

He came from a humble background, his parents weren't rich at all and his dad had to work multiple jobs in order to fund Lewis' go-karting. Unlike most other F1 drivers who usually come from families which are pretty well off.

>rich kids from Monaco (e.g. Nico) "Nico" probably had a more difficult time in his early career, having to live up to his father's name and not getting support from some of the sport's most infulential figures from very early on. But, let's be honest here: Historically speaking, most drivers have had a much harder childhood then either of the two, and a much more "working class" upbringing. No one has ever been as hypocritical as Hamilton though.

Watch Hitting the Apex. It's a bit old but will give an idea how Marquez started. The teams are quite simple, there are factory and sort of "clients" teams noone cares about. The former are Honda, Ducatti, Yamaha, Suzuki and KTM.
Oliver Kelly
so similar in a sense to F1, where only Mercedes Ferrari and Red Bull who at this point is basically a factory matter, and everybody else sucks and is useless?
I have a Yamaha bike myself, i hope they are good in motogp
Daniel Morales
I agree and have I've mentioned this before.
He wasn't poor, he was "karting poor". He competed against families who had enough money to never thing twice about spending another 20k to gain an 0.001s advantage. Lewlew would ask his bald daddy for the same toys, and would get "we can't afford it", so to his child brain that meant they were poor.
Then consider too, by the time he was an adult and needed to financially survive on his own, he was already on an F1 driver salary, and didn't need to worry about having enough money to afford anything he wanted, just like the rich karting families. So literally the only time in his life were he even has a concept of ANYONE (because now all his friends are rich cunts too) not being able to afford whatever they want was when he was a child, so he truly thinks that's what being poor is.
But the fact is, if your family can afford to spend 100k on something as frivolous as a child playing vrooms vrooms, then your family ain't poor.
And Renault Merc are the merc factory team Ferrari are the ferrari factory team RBR are the Honda factory team (they do their own aero and it's some of the best usually) And Renault are the Renault factory team.
Daniel Roberts
It makes me kinda angry to see esports shit be uploaded to the f1 youtube channel. I just wanted to share that bit of autism with you.
Jose Barnes
Actually poor F1 drivers are Ocon as Kimi Kimis parents worked 2 jobs and had to decide which son to back into racing, both lewis and his brother got that ride. So hes better off that kimi Ocons dad was effectively a travelling mechanic funding his son by working on other peoples shit, they lived in a trailer either at tracks and outside his school. If you want to pick up a torch for a poor person in F1 Ocon is your guy. If lewis was serious about wanting to help get a working class driver into F1 all he needs to do is retire and Ocon will be in there.
Nathan Murphy
yeah very true and rarely said, for both. but ocon also has no shame bc of that upbringing. thats why he answered the call at interlagos last year. trying to claw his way up. just like dio
Hamilton stole the "make racing more accesible to poor kids" shtick from Ricciardo. Ricciardo put his money where his mouth is and started a low-barrier-to-entry go karting series. It's called DRS
Levi Reyes
>low-barrier-to-entry >called DRS How fitting!

Even Barrichello had even more of a difficult time than Lewis, like his father (aka Rubão) had to sold his fiat 147 to Rubens participate in the brazilian kart championship (that here its only two weeks per year, not like other championships that are during the entire year)
Camden Ward
He was likely fed that shtick from his PR to be fair. If he had the desire he could find someone doing well in low tier karts and bankroll them like he was at a young age. His team would probably jump at the chance to help too.
Christopher Nelson
I knew there was a pun to be made about the name. I couldn't think of anything. Good job.
For anyone wandering, itt stands for Daniel Ricciardo Series. I guess I should have mentioned that in my previous post.
James Lee
nice digies. do you guys ever think about how ypu missed out on having a chance at the life of a formula 1 driver? and that maybe youre supposed to make such a noble sacrifice so that your son can, like those guys? takes a big man id say

>/f1/ posters >ever having kids
Even if you did, what happens when you discover your kid is untalented and won't be an f1, or any other racing series, champion?
Elijah Young
Hey, thats my life goal, if I cant be a f1 driver, then my kids will be, even if they dont like motorsport
Parker Young
Outside of promotional shoots, has anyone seen Hamilton driving/owning anything vintage?
I would not be surprised if he is in the “new is best because it is most expensive” mindset and only owns modern cars.
Ocassionally he drives a Mercedes vintage car for a photo shoot but it’s always a priceless example and almost certainly under contract stipulation.
Alexander Carter
Nah, I don't want kids, and I just try-hard at F1 sims to 'make up' for w/e I 'missed out' on. I get a one-win like Pastor I'll probably call it good.
A further incident followed in which Berger replaced Senna's passport photo with what Ron Dennis described as "an equivalent-sized piece of male genitalia" (although other media accounts refer to a black pair of breasts).
Senna's fame meant he rarely had his passport checked, but on a later trip to Argentina, Berger's prank resulted in officials holding the Brazilian for 24 hours.
As a response to this gag, Senna superglued all of Berger's credit cards together.
nice banter bros

Rosberg promised to do a Youtube video in which he only talks Finnish because he's tired of the "you are not Finnish because you don't speak any Finnish" talk. Wonder if he will speak as good Finnish as Vettel?
>lives in monaco/germany >drove under german flag >his dad wanted him to not be finnish >"hurfdurf I'll show you guys I am a true redblooded Finngol!" Why is he wewuzzing?
Cameron Morales
For validation and Youtube views. And he probably thinks it's funny as fuck to say that "hey guys, I'm going to speak Finnish now LOL" and then speak gibberish.
Robert Cooper
imagine thinking anybody gives a shit about Finland
It's because he uses #betterthanredbull, but I can see why they would also include the wings thing because he also uses #givesyouhorns

We did it first, it's ours.
Austin Hall
I remember him going "actually gives you wings" or something after something happened on track
Luis Bennett
Business idea: Replace Liberty Media with William Storey.
F1 is solve.
Dylan Jones
It's not because of their sponsorship, they allege copyright infringement in Willy's advertising. See
Adam Parker
Imagine memeing someone so hard that they actually sue you.
>first whyte bikes >then the palace coup orchestrated by duplicitious minority shareholders >then Haas demanding denbts to be paid >then some investment company >now red bull All of the fucking detractors cane at him at once :D
William Storey, Andrea Sassetti or Jean-Pierre van Rossem, who is the bigger memester?
Alexander Long
Reminder that even if you believe the detractors, the worst thing William Store did was rip off wealthy investors. >giving a single fuck about rich people losing 0.0001% of their wealth
Isaac Green
>investing in an energy drink >2019
TALK ABOUT OVER SATURATED, maybe they should've invested in bang energy and seen their money go to thousands of instagram "influencer" adverts.
Ryder Ortiz
What else would he invest in? Online image-boards?
(How expensive is it to sponsor Haas anyway? Couldn't we do it if we pool all our money? It'd be great to have a team we could legitimately call /ourteam/ ...)
Ryan Walker
On their website it said "who needs wings when rich gives you horns" or something of the like
Julian Morris
>who needs wings when rich gives you horns Formula 1 cars.
Charles Clark
I heard £40million or something, this isn't NASCAR
Jonathan Mitchell
Come on, it's only Haas. Not as if they needed much money.
>The first W Series champion will receive a total of $500,000 in prize money, with $250,000 and $125,000 available to the second and third place finishers. >Prize money will be awarded to every driver who has contested the series this year, including all reserve drivers who will win a sum of $7500.
>The top 12 finishers in 2019 will automatically be guaranteed a place on the grid for next season, while any driver outside of the top 12 cut-off will need to enter the selection process again if they wish to return - with exact details of the next selection process yet to be finalised.
so they'll stay in the series and rake money in, right? why would you even move elsewhere, unless for guaranteed bigger pay, if you can earn nicely driving less than 10 30-minute races? or is it forbidden by w series contract to race in other categories?
Isaiah Gonzalez
No one posts near end of thread hehe
Nathaniel Bennett
Surely they have costs involved in taking part in the series? If its just enter and get some money its a no brainer to just stay in it
Logan Flores
gimi
Evan Cox
Also they are gonna get the same superlicence points as euroformula open, Indy Light, NASCAR, supercars and WTCR.
15 12 10 7 5 3 2 1
Win the W-series twice and finish 3rd or better in three seasons and you can drive in F1.
Jeremiah Morris
They can race in other series see Chadwick, they won’t earn enough to advance their careers just in W series though.
Luis Green

Isaac Young
I'd rather a Rakesh OP than that shit
Adrian Thomas
It was heavily underfunded project, so not really a surprise how it turned out
Was it after Silverstone last year when we kept 3 threads alive all day because Seth and Rakesh were feuding?
Chase Bailey
>Just use Appendix J Formula Ford regulations but with engine manufacturers making their own engines and F1 tier budgets There, I fixed 2021. Enjoy your kino season with several hundred million dollar cars that have no wings at all.
