The only tracks that should always be on calendar are Monza, Spa, Old Hocke, Suzuka, Silverstone, A1, Monaco and Interlagos. Then add 5 more GPs from the pool of what's left of this year/past years and change it up every year. This way you always have races on circuits people actually like and drivers enjoy + fans won't know which 5 would fill the next year until season opener
We don't. It sucks. People who claim to like it only do so because of muh tradition. It's a glorified parade though

>we used to like it because it was a high risk circuit but not anymore

Monaco is important to the self image of many f1 fans. It allows them to think they're part of a sport for high class rich sophisticates rather than people who like watching loud relatedly fast cars run in circles.
Is he the one holding up the steering wheel at the top? Or is he that tiny guy with the long hair to the right of Leclerc?
But yeah it's weird that Mansell is more prominent than Alonso when Alonso was with the team far longer, nearly won a couple championships with them, and won way more races with them. I know it ended acrimoniously between Ferrari and Alonso but still, that's years ago at this point.
Jace Wilson
>he thinks everybody on this website at the same opinion >he needs others to tell him what to think Pathetic
Monaco is a good track. Perhaps the main appeal is that it's a tricky and technical track where any mistake is punished with a crash. It must take more mental concentration than any other track. But also overtaking does happen during the race, and also there's undercuts and overcuts to mix things up too. So I think it's a great track.
You just initiated a countdown for another autistic post.

Kevin Johnson
Stroll's quali pace is awful which usually indicates lack of raw pace and talent not sure whether his race pace is much better, this season he is not far of Perez in point but most of that comes from the strategy decision in Germany

>ranking the worst shitters on the grid It's like asking would you rather have plague or cholera. But as you asked:
In quali Stroll & Kubica are clearly weaker than the others but Stroll's racecraft is actually quite good so he's ahead of Kubica.
Grosjean, Giovinazzi and Gasly are all reasonably quick in races but as we have seen this season, none of them is the complete package. Grosjean's wheel-to-wheel skills are horrible, Gasly can't overtake and Gio is like a boy among men and he's crashed twice on his own.
One can wonder how good racing driver would you get if you combined: >Grosjean's one lap speed >Stroll's racecraft >Kubica's calmness >Gasly's tyre magagement skills >Gio's looks
A very good racing driver.
Jackson Scott
Gasly IS shit also wet qualis are always random, it literally means more when your team sends you out rather than what you can do due to drying track
>Potential WDC Kubica pre-injury (BMW had the resources to win 2008 and they opted out on developing for 2009 instead)
>Has potential Strulovich (Exceeds my expectations time and time again and actually improves) Gio the Nazi (Great defensive driving but needs to work out not crashing into shit time after time)
>Decent but no room to grow Big John (Has a decent one lap pace but his driving style burns the brakes too much to be effective at race day) Gasly (Can do long ass stints but don't have the skills to go head to head against the top cars)

Ryder Ward
some races they were fairly equal, however on occasion they were weekends like Bahrain or Hungary where Gasly just destroyed Hartley, while Hartley never had those problem was, Hartley was just not a good benchmark, his record in junior series was not good enough to be even considered for F1 and additionally he drove WEC before F1 while Gasly came straight out of GP2

If he tried to deliver anything at Spa, he'd have to give it to the customer for free for arrving late.

Brayden Parker

Nolan Turner
the safety argument is shit. it is/was always safe enough except for freaky things happening. and if it's safe enough for almost every racing class in the world, why wouldn't it be safe for F1? the only reason why I didn't think it was a big deal they got rid of it is that 80-90% of the field was always on the same strategy anway.
Asher Cook
Based because Albon's first race was overrated Seething because he had his chance and knows he won't get another one
He's just mad that he wasn't chosen by marko and likely never will He won't even have a drive next year so he tries to go all out while ignoring the FACTS which are that Albon did well as he never drove the RB before and is a F1 rookie
>the only reason why I didn't think it was a big deal they got rid of it is that 80-90% of the field was always on the same strategy anway. But that's on the tyre componuds, anyways. As if now things are way better in that aspect. With a proper tyre spread and degradation, though, it would be interesting to see different tactics in use, and it would make harder for the teams to figure out if it's better to undercut or leapfrog.
The cost of refuelling is what's indisputably against refuelling.
Also, I'd bet a decent amount that pit stop safety would actually increase with refuelling. It's just a matter of time with the way current pit stops are going (thanks, DHL™) for someone to get hit by a tyre (again).
John Bennett
kinda disappointed tbf expected more eritage

Michael Hall
I didn't realise that so it's good he pointed it out. Both of them made up 12 places - from 17th to 5th for Albon, and from 19th to 7th for Kvyat.
I think it would only be seething if Kvyat had had a shit race but actually he clearly had a good race. So in that case it's perfectly fair to point out that Kvyat's race was basically just as good as Albon's since they both made up 12 places.
Caleb Collins
Kvyat made up 12 places just like Albon did so I think it's perfectly fair for Kvyat to point it out. Obviously Kvyat wants to be in contention for a future RB drive, and he's doing well this year.
It would only be "cope" and "mad" if Kvyat was doing shit, but he's not.
Asher Rogers
19th to 7th in the STR is more impressive than 17th to 5th is the RBR, imho. But this is Albon's first season so that makes his race impressive too.
Eli Long
I want to see Kvyat and Kubica in the saem team where they just squat around and don't give a fuck about anything or anyone.
Charles Young
>that makes his race impressive too. no it doesn't.
I think 90s cars were so great because they were aesthetically simple. None of this extraneous carbon poking off the sides. Just clean lines. Aesthetic as fuck.
Ross Brawn said he has been contacted by people about them coming in as future teams, but he told them to wait until the 2021 regs are finalised first, and even then he only wants teams if they can really add to F1, and he wants to avoid teams like Marussia or Caterham who are just going to fail after a couple of years.
>he only wants teams if they can really add to F1 so why is williams still in

Ayden White
It would seem very likely that many Finnish posters on /f1/ could indeed proselytise whatever drivel they found from varied F1 news sources so long as those you're trying to convince aren't motivated enough to click through
They can't be as strong as Ferrari and Mercedes in a track like spa and on top of that they used a pre-French GP PU for this race Albon got his new spec PU but they didn't mount it in the actual race
Cooper Hughes
Hopefully they won't fail
Here's an idea mate: you could try not getting triggered as fuck because I'm passing on information that a poster literally asked for? Genuinely how fucking dense do you have to be that relevant information triggers you? Do you have an aversion to relevant information? If you're buying something do you just never look at the price and just throw money at the salesperson because relevant information scares you?
On WHAT FUCKING BASIS EXACTLY are you going to answer the question of "are the teams we have currently basically what we'll have from now on" without looking at what people in F1 have said? Are you just going to pull an answer out of your fucking arse? "YEAH I THINK SEAT ARE GOING TO JOIN, GOT NO EVIDENCE, JUST RECKON IT'LL HAPPEN, COS, Y'KNOW, WHY NOT"
I've got an idea mate. If you're only going to say things that are dense as fuck then how about you don't say anything at all?
Tyler Scott
Seething. Albon was on an older spec engine while Kvyat I think was on spec 4 engine, I know a huge part still plays on the aerodynamics etc. but Spa is more of a power/speed focused track. Nonetheless, they both had an amazing race.
Tyler Morgan
And even if their PU was as strong the Red Bull still has a lot of aero and therefore drag
Robert Anderson
>and he wants to avoid teams like Marussia or Caterham who are just going to fail after a couple of years. those teams are kino
we need the return of pre-qualy and about a dozen cars competing for the last few spots on the grid just so those ultimate backmarkers can retire after 10 laps
Red Bull ran an incredibly shallow rear wing at Spa to reduce drag. I think they had a modified front wing as well with a shallower top element. Just because they are good at generating downforce at many circuits does not necessarily mean that they have a massive drag penalty at others. They're probably smart enough to set up the cars properly for each circuit.
Austin Johnson
They weren't really kino. I much prefer teams like Alfa/Sauber and Toro Rosso who are sometimes at the back but are also competitive enough to pull off some great results in the top 10 as well.
>we need the return of pre-qualy and about a dozen cars competing for the last few spots on the grid just so those ultimate backmarkers can retire after 10 laps I don't think it would be financially viable at all these days. Those teams that missed the cut in pre-quali would fold very quickly.

That Max should give off the signal to Hamilton that the WDC is his next year. >Get in Lewis' head.

And some more that basically boils down to the same thing
