remember when gimi and seb would make commercials together and had fun and stuff, you never see ham and valterri together in anything, they don't have to be friends, but surely some activities together would make a better team by strengthening relations. kinda like the Ferrari YouTube channel where seb and charles do vids together, it's awkward but it's still good for both of them and the fans enjoy it, makes them both seem more human and shit, whereas hamishit always comes off as cold and fake, only smiling and thanking his team when everything goes his way, but instantly throwing his team under the bus when something goes wrong, look at seb, he's always humbled and even thanks his team when shit hits the fan(which is always). People think people don't like Hamilton because he's good, that's dumb, I like lots of good drivers, I don't like him because of his bad personality. I like drivers I can project myself into, who I can relate to etc, and lewis just isn't one of those people. I also want to fuck the tight, moist vagina hole of Carrie if you catch my drift bros
Saying to your driver that if you were in their position then you would try and build the team around yourself is not the same thing as saying "we're going to build the team around you".
>"you should try and become the best driver at this team" totally means the same thing as "we are actively building the team around you" Why are you so thick, Hans?
>i don't dislike hamilton because he's black even though i'm definitely racist Yeah very convincing.
>you never see ham and valterri together in anything Hamilton and Rosberg used to joke around in the early days at Mercedes until their rivalry became more serious. Maybe Ham just doesn't want to do that shit anymore, he earns a fuckton of money and just wants to win races, who can blame him.
Zachary Carter
>you should try and become the best driver at this team That's decidedly NOT what Horner said, retard.
Jace Rivera
Given Horner has said both "you should build the team around you" and "we want to build the team around you" to max, it's kind of hard to not read into him being No.1 or at least a pseudo No.1 in RBRs eyes. Looping it back to the start, danny made a good call not getting No.2'd autosport.com/f1/news/132400/verstappen-should-build-red-bull-around-him
yea sure, he can do what he wants, just giving my opinion on why I don't like him. Also, I didn't mention his skin colour once, why are you obsessed with it?
Jace Phillips
Just drop it, he never reads anything, just inserts his version of what he thinks you mean into everything.
Daniel Ross
>there are people itt unironically reporting "racism"
Caleb Collins
>we want to build the team around you He didn't say that though, so half of your argument is wrong already.
>danny made a good call not getting No.2'd Red Bull have always let their drivers battle it out for race wins, for championships, for everything. If Ricciardo felt for whatever reason that some things were unfair towards him, then okay (maybe there were, I don't know all the internal dealings of the team, although I would strongly doubt that any unfairness was intentional) then he should have worked it out with RB, I think. Just for his own sake - being at RB, one of the best teams on the grid, is better than being a shit team like Renault.
Fair enough. People just mention race a lot in these threads. I definitely disagree with your character assessments though - Vettel has shown many instances of being petulant and childish (not saying Ham hasn't, just saying they're all flawed, especially the champions who tend to be more self-centred than the rest, perhaps because this is needed to win championships). But fair enough if you prefer different drivers.
Josiah Lopez
Guess my last post was deleted for having something related to /pol/, maybe I could have chosen a better quote to make the same point.
Anyway, that is exactly what he's saying to Max - he's basically saying "if I were in your position, surely the best thing to do would be to try and build the team around yourself".
I did read it mate, but you cannot deny that many people in these threads bring race into the discussion, but fair enough the Irishman didn't.
Aiden Hughes
>why are you obsessed with it? Judging by his other posts, he's a /pol/shitter. He's also posted Farage in here recently, spoken out for Brexit, British Imperialism, against all other countries, throwing around nationalist/racist insults himself. He hates anime with a passion. And he loves Hamilton, but also likes Alonso, Verstappen and fucking Montoya.

I really don't understand Bottas complaining about problems, he just needs to drive faster than the nigger.
Ayden Kelly
Because Sainz essentially had more DNFs than the overall times Verstappen (Senior) has beaten his wife (/wives). It was an unfair comparison. Hülkenshit already had the Renault built around himself and it may just have been that it didn't suit Sainz. Not saying Sainz would btfo cuckstappen, but he was very much able to be close in pace at TR when his car didn't fail. Seeing how Ricciardo is btfoing Hülk though, I don't think he could challenge Verstappen significantly. Might still be able to scare the faggot though.
Jayden Smith
Except that there's two things fundamentally wrong with your post: Max and Carlos weren't actually close in TR and Ricci isn't btfoing Hulk.
Andrew Murphy
He does

Im not saying you're wrong but people who simplify their job like that really annoys me. Especially since they are usually people who know jack shit.
Is it racist to only support someone because of their skin colour? Not implying that this is the case here Would people respect lewis more if after he retired he continued to promote the sport giving an alternative voice to "cashed up white former driver" that tends to promote f1?

Depends on skin colour bruv
Camden Brooks
>Is it racist to only support someone because of their skin colour? Yes, but maybe they just support him because he's successful. Like how people across the world support Man U or Real Madrid despite not having any connection to those places.
>Would people respect lewis more if after he retired he continued to promote the sport giving an alternative voice to "cashed up white former driver" that tends to promote f1? Firstly I think people respect him already. Secondly do you mean like doing podium interviews and shit like that? I reckon he'll just go live on an island somewhere with all his money, maybe do some fashion or music shit since he seems to be interested in that.

So basically there's 1 (one) female in Formula 2, and she's joint last with 0 (zero) points.
Why is this? People in F1 like David Coulthard and Susie Wolff keep saying that success has no gender, and that women can make it into F1. If that was the case then how come no female driver seems to be good enough to make it into F1?
his shitty clickbait shows up because i watch the f1 channel videos
Elijah Morris
I remember hearing that women make for better jet fighter pilots because they are better at handling high G forces which sounds to me like something that could translate well to f1
the real reason why there is such a different between genders at any dangerous or extreme activity is that not only are much more likely to take risks but seem to like doing it as well
women are just too average
men are both the majority of idiots and geniuses in the world
women simply do not have the spatial intelligence and reflexes to be racing pilots. Women are worse than men in literally every sport and game there is. Add the fact that being a formula pilot is very physically demanding and you can see why they suck at it.
Ethan Carter
my post barely makes sense im gonna go sleep instead goodnight homos
>If that was the case then how come no female driver seems to be good enough to make it into F1?
It's a chicken-and-egg problem. Not enough young girls get into motorsport because there's no female role models. They don't see a future. No sponsor wants to shell out the huge amount of cash necessary to groom a female driver into an F1 star because there's never been a female F1 star before. Thus, no girls get into it because they don't see a future, etc etc etc.
Think of the drivers who have been coming up lately. They're all the sons of former race car drivers.
I think the first female F1 star will be some former champions daughter.
Jack Long

Hunter Watson
Does anyone know where I can get the F1 2006 mod for Assetto Corsa without having to give money to these slimy jews? Haven't been able to find any free download links anywhere.
To be honest, I think it's more along these lines: Which isn't to be insulting. But men and women do have physiological differences, including in the brain. We're just suited to different tasks.
>first female F1 star I wonder when the next one will actually get into F1. And even if they do, I doubt they will be very successful. I think it would be quite surprising if they were. Could happen I guess, but I think it's unlikely.
Grayson Sanchez
Looks cool, I wonder if Jenson will race, I guess it's quite likely.
Jackson Ortiz
One of the studies Swedebro was referring to, on why women make better fighter pilots concluded that it was how the two process risk.
Female pilots were more likely to opt for the safe play. Reduce risk, minimize friendly casualties, bring the jet back home safely, complete the mission as ordered. Men were more likely to go off script and do something glorious (like chase down an out-of-range enemy fighter) even if it ended poorly for themselves, their mission, friendly forces etc.
That's why women would make poor F1 drivers. F1 is pure risk. It's an utterly pointless exercise.
If Kimi had actually made an effort to improve his natural talent, he would've been absolute monster. One of his kind to have that kind of instant feel for racing.
based trips, I think once he got his championship he wasn't as hungry anymore and the enjoyment he got simply from the vroom vroom and the money have been enough to keep him in f1 this long, regardless I like him as a person and that's something not even a 100 championships can't replace
Evan Roberts
i know its bait but does nobody remember how gimi was fucked rotten by vettel? and how vettel was dominated by smiling aussie man in that one year right after a team built around his successes for four straight years? the nazi is just utter shit so its inflating kimi again my list is irrefutable
Jonathan Barnes
>my list is irrefutable speaking of bait lol

Sponsors want it bad. Imagine how great it would be for brand awareness and advertising. Sponsors are paying for females to be test drivers in teams. The issues is that real racing pedigree hasn't really come through. We need more simonas in the world.

>Vivien on the Red Bull Paddock >AMD AMX gets pole

Bottas has skill somewhere there for sure but even though he tells everyone he has made progress in his head since last year, it seems false. He comes forward as somewhat unsure of himself still and egoistic drivers like Hamilton will just wipe the floor with him without even playing any mind games.

For the Dream Race at Fuji I believe it will be all the GT500 and DTM cars, but I don't think it's been confirmed yet. Here's what they have to say about the format:
>Two races of equal length on Saturday and Sunday: races last 55 minutes plus one lap (plus a maximum of three additional laps if a Safety Car is deployed) >One mandatory pit-stop per race, during which all four wheels must be changed >Refuelling or driver changes are prohibited >All participants race on Hankook’s 2019 “Ventus Race” DTM control tyres >DTM’s DRS (Drag Reduction System) and push-to-pass systems will not be used >Support program includes a separate sprint race with the GT300 cars from the SUPER GT series

Why is Vettel so bad now? Hes nto even close to competing with Hamilton, and hes surpassed by Verstappen, and hes almost surpassed by LeClerc at this point too
i mean is he even a top 5 driver anymore lmao just sad
Ferrari. Vettel's been pretty consistently better than Leclerc in challenging race circumstances this year and it's clear he's mentally stronger than the Monegasque, even when Charles out-qualifies him. He's "not competing" with Hamilton and Verstappen because the Mercedes and Red Bull are just that much faster than the Ferrari, especially when they were bespoke designed around their respective lead drivers' driving styles, whereas Ferrari don't seem to have grasped that building a car around a driver is a good idea, nor that you need downforce to win races.
Lucas Cruz
This is why Hamilton is better than Vettel, because he picked Mercedes instead of Ferrari
trash ass team who never accomplishes anything even spending more than basically everybody else combined if they wanted to
Hamilton made the move before Vettel was done winning world titles at Red Bull. It would have been a hilariously stupid decision for Seb to go to Mercedes and throw away two world titles, even if he'd have won six on the bounce two years later. Vettel made the move to Ferrari after it became clear that in the short term neither Red Bull nor Ferrari would be winning world titles, and the improvements that that team mad since dropping Alonso have been evident of Seb's ability as a team leader. Obviously you're right that Ferrari are useless and will never win a title again, but the fact that Seb even came as close as he did is a testament to his talents.
Ian Mitchell

>trash ass team Not untrue, but maybe a bit unfair. Had Ferrari had as much support from the FIA as Mercedes has had, illegal tests, leniency when it comes to grey areas of the rules, and so on - they could easily be in Mercedes position right now.

Button: Beat Hamilton to the 2009 championship, despite only having a better car for half a season. (Hamilton came 5th!)

I see you’re not wearing that eye catching Richard Mille watch anymore?
(grins) The first thing I had to give back after my last Grand Prix was that watch. In the meantime my 570GT is also back at the dealer in Monaco. I currently drive a Mercedes-AMG. Not that bad.
No extensive farewell at McLaren I take it?
After the last race I haven’t set a foot inside. I didn’t have a flat in Woking so moving wasn’t necessary. I also haven’t heard anything from the team since.
And still you look rather relieved. No resentful feelings?
Not really. Without McLaren I would have never reached the position I’m at today. Don’t forget that they paid for a big part of my career. A season in Formula Renault 3.5, two in GP2, a year in Japanese Superformula… In the meantime I was being prepped for F1, where I also drove for two years in their service. It’s actually half a miracle that I even reached F1, because for someone from a normal family that wouldn’t have been possible without their help. And certainly not now. Look at karting: even that has become unaffordable nowadays. Up to €200.000 for a single season at a decent level, who can pay for that? Sons with rich fathers, they can. But for a young man from a normal family it’s become unreachable without outside help. But still. You can hardly say that these past two years were a success?
No. I was therefore quite relieved when the final chequered flag fell in Abu Dhabi. I was finally finished and could start a new challenge. I’m glad that I got rid of it, yes. If I’ll miss F1? I probably will. Driving with an F1 car for sure, because even my McLaren delivered some incredible driving sensations. And maybe at the start of the new F1 season in Australia I’ll get a mental tick, who knows. “I should have been there”, something like that. But at the moment that’s not the case yet.
Daniel Powell
Wouldn’t you want to return to F1 then?
Honestly, I’m not really thinking about that. There are those that see my role as simulator driver for Mercedes F1 as an opportunity to reopen that door, but at the moment that’s not my intention. I want to fully commit myself to Formula E now. Sure, you can never say never. Definitely not in F1, where the transfer market is completely turned upside down from one day to the other. And drivers like Esteban Ocon and myself can’t find a seat. I can tell you one thing though: going back to F1 in the same circumstances as with McLaren? No thanks.
When did you start noticing that your relationship with McLaren started to go south?
Start of July, at the British Grand Prix. There I heard they were negotiating with other drivers. I then also got a new chassis, but that car never worked as intended. We struggled with it for a few races and then sent it back to the workshop. There they still haven’t found what was wrong with it, I think. After the summer break, during the Belgian Grand Prix, I realised that my adventure with McLaren was over. Happily for me it was confirmed after the following race weekend, that way I could start working on my new future.
In those summer months the word “sabotage” has been dropped once in a while.
Not by me.
Of course not, because you never really angered yourself in everything that happened. Still not, apparently. Are you really too kind, as is often said and written?
Ah, too kind… I’d say professional. After McLaren made their decision public I just tried to make the best out of the races that I had left with the team. I still wanted to enjoy it, you know. In some of those weekends it went quite well actually. Austin, Mexico, Brazil, all of them decent races.
Sebastian Cruz
But no one noticed them.
Yes, that I know. But I learned to live with that. If you’re not fighting for points, then you’re barely on screen. That happened a lot in 2018.
“We have the best chassis, but the worst engine” was said in 2017 by team boss Zak Brown. But now with the Renault engine instead of the Honda it’s really shown McLaren’s true colours. How is something like that possible with such a big team?
Look, the McLaren where we started with in Melbourne was actually still the car from last year. The evolutions weren’t ready on time, those would only arrive at the start of the European season at Barcelona. But still we managed to score points in Australia and Bahrain. A good sign, because with those evolutions from Barcelona we would have been able to close the gap even further. At least that’s what we thought. We thought wrong. The new parts didn’t work at all. Once in a while we tried to look for solutions with further evolutions, but even that didn’t give us any results. In the meantime other teams were progressing, and we were dropping further down. It also didn’t help that it was quite chaotic on a management level. Jost Capito, who was recruited by Ron Dennis, never really achieved something. Last year Eric Boullier was also shown the exit. But in the meantime all the good engineers had left, and that was much worse. That phenomenom had actually already started before my first season. In the meantime everyone in the F1 paddock knew: nowhere was it that easy to lure away engineers or key personel as at McLaren. You wouldn’t have to try that at Renault. Of course that weighs on the mood inside the team. In short, I joined McLaren at the worst possible time in Formula 1.
Isaac Clark
With, looking at the cirumstances, the worst possible teammate? Fernando Alonso didn’t let an opportunity pass to show himself as the better of you two. He was the man that beat “the young talent that won everything”. That caught you out didn’t it?
No, I don’t think so. I knew the way Alonso worked and expected it to be like that. Fine, I had no experience whatsoever with those political games that he played. And you could definitely see that from time to time. But apparently that’s the way he functions. It’s not like he keeps many friends by doing so. And no, I didn’t send him a Christmas card. (grins)
Again: you never angered yourself. You could have criticised Alonso, but you never did. Verstappen wouldn’t think twice about that.
Max can do what he wants. As long as he gets the results, he’s the king at Red Bull. There’s nothing in his way over there. As for me: I won’t and can’t go into detail here, but the situation at McLaren wasn’t as simple as you and most other people portray it as. My choice to keep it professional and not get aggressive was the best option for me at the time, trust me on that one.
That attidude is probably valued by Mercedes boss Toto Wolff. Not only did you become their simulator driver, he also delivered you a seat at the HWA team in Formula E. The precursor of the Mercedes factory team. But be honest: how do those electric cars feel for a former F1 driver?
Lincoln Garcia
Just post the article link ffs
Jaxon Turner
You simply can’t compare F1 and Formula E. And F1 car is planted on the road, an FE car slides all over the place. On a normal track that wouldn’t be so bad, but on street circuits like we use it creates some hectic races. If the suspension then starts failing you can be happy that you even finish. The atmosphere is also completely different in Formula E. Everyone just goes out to eat together in one big tent, even the press is welcome! A bit like GP2 you might say. In F1 everyone locks themselves down in their motorhome, they play political games and do all sorts of other things. Things I won’t miss, that’s for sure. I feel good here. In addition to that I also have the opportunity in FE to fight at the front and try to get a top result, I’ll always choose that instead of backmarker in F1. Always.

TLDR: I'm a slow-ass pussy who needs an equal car to be serveraly exposed.
Jaxon Brooks
>As for me: I won’t and can’t go into detail here, but the situation at McLaren wasn’t as simple as you and most other people portray it as.
And some still say that all his team mates had equal cars and opportunity to beat him
>inb4 Felipe & Kimi were just shit
Charles Thompson
Just got of the with Toto. Mercedes is thinking about replacing Valtteri with Frentzen.
Sebastian Ortiz
>Horner wants Gasly to stay with the front runners and help the team, not fight with McLarens and Alfas someone should tell that to GAS
>rating massa/kimi over alonso/hamilton >what is reliability >beating competition in a car with the most downforce in history, epic effort >i don't even know what to say lmao, brawn rocketship vs mclaren dog retardation is truly extraordinary there. i need more laughs today, so maybe you won't dodge replying this time and actually explain: if hamilton winning silverstone in 2008 was due to dominant car, how dominant was 1996 ferrari with schumacher schooling everyone in barcelona? c'mon, you can do it, lol
Noah Wilson
For me, It's searching on 2008s youtube "f1 crashes" and watching the same videos with Rapsody of fire or Aerosmith on the BG.
Joseph Richardson
>gimi doing testing himself when the race drivers prove themselves to be useless zoomers unable to understand the car comfy
Landon Wood
>whatsapp nigga u stuck in 2015 or something?
Nolan Anderson
>Mid-2019 >Saying n-word without a pass You better check your white-scandinav-goblinotier privileges, mate ;)
Jordan Bennett
>puts Ice One Racing under the company >Starts WRC with Alfa cars and branding
Jaxson Cooper
>slavs are niggers of europe >y-you don't have a pass for that word Pick one already, mexishit! >what is reliability has nothing to do with binning it on pit entry
Levi Hughes
Not sure why you're posting this when Ferrari are doing shit this year, and have been cucked by Mercedes for years, and cucked by Red Bull before that.
Henry Garcia
because I'm a Ferrari scuderia fanboi and they will have their redemption soon™
You just an authoritarian who does not like faggots and most important, ur white. So, if you stop mansplaining you gonna realise that ur wrong by almost birth. Only muslims and afroamuricans can talk shit with that "Nigga" thing, you're just cultural appropriating. Sad!
Henry Allen
guess ferrari is irish now lads
Anthony Hernandez
I'm gay lol. >ur white literally mongolian rapebaby
Jacob Hughes
Fair enough. Redemption, I'm not sure. They've been pretty cucked for a long time.
You should check his flag again before you accuse Patrick O'Leary of "nationalism" when supporting Scuderia Spaghetti.
Jordan Miller
>ur race is determined by your skin colour literal racism
>it's funny when the other flag makes the joke but the germans are not funny because germans >insecure about his own intellect to the point he assumes everyone joking about their own intelligence must be stupid kwab
it's okay Paddy, I enjoyed your Ferrari maymay and hope they can come up with entirely incidente memery next year
Not really that's the option for "other", I can force to add an answer to that but only I would see it. For example if someone suggests X only I would know someone suggested it. Some other who maybe would have voted X but it didn't came to mind wouldn't see that someone else has already suggested it. Also I don't really need to do it on Google Forms it's just the first one it came to mind
Jaxson Clark
Use poal.me then but one IP can only add one new option.
Why isn't >JUUUUUST DRIIIIIVEEEE a goal horn for /f1/, like Potato?
Cooper Myers
Ok, in the poll there is last time lineup (see here implyingrigged.info/wiki//f1W/) and I added >Fabienne CHADwick >Yo-landi Visser's normal cousin gimi (female) >Hanna Liv >Giada Gianni Kelly Piquet >Marion (Spa marshall obsessed by Schumi)
Anyone has some names to be added before it goes live? You can add names but the more there are from the beginning the better it is
>gives weird answers to interview questions >hailed as a genius in the past, but exposed as not keeping up with modern trends in the present >falls out with employees/team members/drivers
Ross is just a fraud, he only won cuz he cheated, just like Mercedes on hybrid era. Now he's in charge on FIA just to make FIAMG even more time. t.#teamNewey
>Ross is just a fraud, he only won cuz he cheated um, no, sweaty, if it's not forbidden, it's allowed. stay mad jelly.
Adam Gonzalez
bbc.com/sport/formula1/49244623 >Ferrari showed testing promise in Barcelona, WHY THE FUCK DO THESE FUCKING DISGUSTING ROTTEN TEETH ISLAND INBRED FUCKING RETARDS STILL THINK FERRARI """"DOMINATED"""" WINTER TESTING? MERCEDES CLOCKED TIME THAT WAS FEW HUNDREDS OFF VETTEL'S TOP AND WERE FAR QUICKER ON LONG RUNS.
GOD THIS FUCKING ANGLO NARRATIVE MAKES ME SO MAD.
Alexander Murphy
>There are positives, though. The Ferrari car has had the pace to win at least four races - Bahrain, Baku, Canada and Austria - and is extremely fast in a straight line. YES YES FUCKING ANGLO BRITISH RETARDED CIRCLEJERK, FERRARI ENGINES SURELY DO WIN +5 SECS ON STRAIGHTS FUCK OFF YOU FUCKING INCOMPETENT FUCKING FAGGOT JOLYON YOUR CAREER RECORD SHOULD HAVE ACTED AS A WARNING SIGN FOR ANY MEDIA COMPANY WNATING TO PUBLISH YOUR HOT FUCKING TAKES.
Juan Brooks
Remember Valteri Bottas? His 1.15.6? He was overperforming his shit car ;)
William Jackson
>successful and inspires butthurt because of it Even more confirmation that Brawn is the Mourinho of F1.
>tf >tp I'm not gonna even mention it You knew what slimy shit your disgrace of a driver has done in the past and got away scot free on all occasions
Christian Martin
>By Jolyon Palmer >Former Renault driver & BBC Radio 5 Live commentator
What's it like to listen to an F1 race on the radio?
Jace Rivera
probably sounds better than crofty. Don't think there'd be much difference from TV, just they'd announce the lap and race order regularly
Julian Ward
It's like listening to football or any other live sport on the radio. It does actually have a practical use if you're driving and therefore can't watch TV / a stream. But yeah, it only has practical use in situations like that really.
Camden Thomas
>/f1/ Approved drivers >Forgetting Sir Jenson RELENTLESS Button >Putting a Pedo Leaf instead
Lincoln Ramirez
poal.me/4vjntr /f1W/ lineup poll is live >Vote the ones you want to see in the team >Add the ones you feel are missing >Top23 will make the cut >Top voted will get the medals
Lads, it's been raining all day today and it's not looking like it's going to get dry anytime soon. Should I risk getting sick and go mountain biking anyway?
Cooper Nelson
falling on slick tree roots sounds more dangerous than a cold
Josiah Flores
You're not Belgian are you?
Michael Ramirez
>biking yes
John Gonzalez
I'll be careful, Nigel, don't worry. Alright, I'm convinced. Ty based Paddy.
Landon Campbell
Go suck each other's dicks (or what's left of them) you pair of fucking wankers.
Lucas Lewis
no need to patronise I have broken 2 bones doing downhill in the wet la not pleasant
No, why? Damn, that sucks. Didn't mean to patronize, I'm just not going to do anything too crazy is what I meant to say. Babby trails at best, lad.
Liam Watson
Some zoomer got himself killed recently at the Tour of Poland by crashing in the rain while on a straight section of all places. Not very professional.
Angel Harris
BASED POST
Easton Brown
Yeah he hit a concrete post
Ayden Harris
ironic how Fisichella was barely quicker compared to Kimi than Badoer was
Wyatt Hall
I don't know, does Google give money for making Ham fans SEETHE?
James Watson
>bbc the worst of the worst
Nolan Garcia
tbf, Hulk has been quicker the past two race weekends before that Ricky had the upper hand a little
I was biking this one time down a mountain path while it was raining, with no protection, no helmet, shitty steel bike and i slipped on a moist branch and yeeted my knee lol, could've been much worse haha
Cooper Murphy
Can some Brazilians tell me whats been going on with the proposed Rio circuit?
Angel Hall
There's buildings on the other side of the wall and they can't get a big enough run off at the Peraltada. But yes, and they should also use the old first and second sectors.
>shows his dick to men on Yea Forums >calls other faggots Ah now.
Carter Ross
>mclaren dog It's astonishing that people still believe that. You're forgetting that there was a period in which Meclaren was a pretty good car. A period in which it was the best car, in fact. Button had a hugely dominant car for half a season. And then nothing fot the rest. And who profited from that? Vettel, in a Red Bull. Not Hamilton in the arguably (you know what the word means, right?) better car.
>what is reliability The one thing Hamilton always enjoyed way more than anyone else during his time on the grid. Your point?
Joshua Wright
AOTY material hit right here
Christian Hill
imagine being hubert right now imagine being aitken
Easton Fisher
spa is raining too the whole next week, i bet it will be dry for f1
Camden Ramirez
>don't say bad things about my favourite reddit driver! Cringe.
It's pretty much inevitable as soon as Zhou got into FKino Big Chink money might actually be the thing to revive Renault if they keep the old staff and dont replace it with incompetent Chinks I for one welcome Weichai Renault Sport
Camden Johnson
the prequels had some awesome music
Luke Sanchez
>Tool are still a thing Neat. Sometimes I think about what music has the most autistic fans and sometimes I think it's Tool.
Jack Russell
Even worse Imagine being Sirotkin Getting shafted twice to make way for tax money powered pay drivers
Kevin Torres
Say whatever the fuck you want, idgaf
Nicholas Morris
>The last time Tool released an album Alonso was a 1 time WDC
Nice storm coming down rn Would enjoy one of the same in Spa during the race
Tyler Gomez
I hope you're doing it right. No chopped tomatoes anywhere near that thing, obviously. Only a couple of tablespoons of tomato puree. Carrot, celery, and onion in equal amounts chopped into a soffritto. Once the meat is browned (beef, sometimes with the addition of some pork, or maybe pancetta - and chicken livers are sometimes added), wine gets added along with a bit of beef stock. And milk at the end obviously.
If you deviate from this recipe then you're not making a bolognese, you're making something else.
Oliver Jackson
i just grab a reduced, 50% off microwave meal Bolognese pasta from asda, a can of monster ultra and I'm set la
As a japanese who fled to the netherlands i have to say im very happy with honda doing so well
Chase Wright
In this day and age, user, I..
Isaac Brown
>It's Seb's Stand
Owen Phillips
>While Ricciardo thinks Magnussen deserved more than just a warning for his behaviour, Steiner says he did not see that much wrong with what his driver did. >"Race control said he has to stop to move under braking, and that was it," said. Steiner. "And because there is another driver who does it all the time and gets away with it, that was our answer! based
Justin Lopez
Underrated. Also the answer is every night.
Ryder Peterson
>Lil Bob update He did his first meow today & will sometimes just silently wander around the house. He is still terrified of my girl cats though. He has also tried some chicken & catnip. He still has his massive balls for now
Dutch medal winning gymnast who quit to become a camgirl/pornstar. Did some BDSM stuff as well.
James Roberts
It'll run automatically until it's over. If you join you can race, but there's not been many people racing. Fortunately we're done with the city circuits now so things might be a little better racing wise. Maybe if we shill it some more this week and next we can get some regularity before Summer break is up. Then we can get some momentum.
Oh the other problem with it is that you can't change rules without putting them up to a vote, and for people like me who only open F1 2019 to play that one time a week means rules probably are stuck as they started.
Jeremiah Phillips
I hope Russell gonna make Williams great again
Nathan Allen
>The couple went to the police, who searched van de Leur's computer and discovered two videos and 144 photos of child pornography. A further search turned up an illegal weapon in a car.
Damn.
James Rogers
I want to piss in Verona's mouth and have her say "thank you master" without swallowing so it pours out on her tits
Dislike because it kept Hülkenshit from being exposed even harder, but Steiner is not wrong. Amx keeps getting away with that bullshit so why should Magnussen's case be any different.
Blake Cox
You don't have to use chicken livers, I never have. I already said that they're only "sometimes added".
Evan Reed
>so why should Magnussen's case be any different. Because Magnussen is not one of FIA's "golden boys" and "hopes for the future of the sport". It sucks, but rules are not applied consistently.
Carson Reyes
>Chinese Renault vs Japanese Red Bull Now THAT is a battle for the ages. Can't wait for them to put Naoki in the car for next year
Liam Russell
>you're not making a bolognese, you're making something else. it says bolognese on the side of the jar though
Gavin Bennett
Some things that are labelled as "bolognese" in Britain are nothing at all like the ACTUAL ragu alla bolognese from Bologna in northern Italy. They are shitty imitations that, inexplicably, contain tons of tomato. In this way they are more similar to a ragu alla napoletana from Naples, in southern Italy.
