The amount of salt-face displayed by ROSS deserved some kind of recognition / trophy.

Jibbberish · 11-05-2015, 02:15 PM

I literally laughed out loud when he biffed it at SOTA.

Mexico was badass, the track looks great.

OBEEWON · 11-06-2015, 07:18 AM

Mexico is my 2nd favorite track now. I love that opening straight.
Poor Vettel drove like an immature child. I was just starting to like him too.

Jibbberish · 11-06-2015, 03:45 PM

Yeah Vettel was sad.

My favorite part was definitely this

That's what you get Raikkonen you jack shit.

Terry84 · 12-01-2015, 03:26 AM

I prefer Nascar over F1. Ayrton Sena was my favorite F1 driver.

Jibbberish · 12-01-2015, 10:36 AM

Good for Raikkonen not sucking complete ass in Abu Dhabi. I think that put him up to 4th in the drivers standings ahead of Bottas. Although Vettel still ran a way better race. Pissed I missed quali, Vettel must've just trashed his lap or something. Verstappen was gettin a little too hyphy he needs to cool them tits.

yet another strong post

SoundEfx · 01-20-2016, 04:40 PM

I'm glad that I'm not the only one who thought that....lol

Jibbberish · 01-21-2016, 11:20 AM

I thought we were just ignoring that.

Rumored concept liveries for Haas. I hope they're at least better than Marussia was. Cause 'murica.

Of course we don't really know until the official unveiling on February 21st right before winter testing. I really hope we see them out there, the first car's being built as we speak so it's crunch time as fuck. Then in 2017 they're gonna get blindsided by all the supposed changes that are supposed to make the cars "6 seconds a lap" faster. Say goodbye to overtaking.

SoundEfx · 01-21-2016, 11:59 AM

So let me ask this. Do you think that lack of overtaking is due to the cars or the track?

Because in my opinion, Indy has more 'multi-line' tracks that drivers could choose which makes the race a little more exciting. With F1, most of the races I see comes down to pit stop times. Yes, you can gain ground, but over taking is almost impossible.

Again, just my opinion.

*!Zar!* · 01-24-2016, 12:12 AM

Overtaking is hard solely because the cars are so aero dependent. The moment a trailing car gets close to the car ahead, the dirty air kills all downforce. Mechanical grip helps overcome this, but tire degradation goes way up when this happens.

Jibbberish · 01-24-2016, 11:53 PM

Yeah F1 cars make a lot more downforce than Indy cars. I think I read Indy cars make 1:1 at like 190km/h and F1 cars make 1:1 at like 130km/h and nearly 2:1 at 190.

SoundEfx · 01-27-2016, 12:44 AM

That makes sense, but doesn't that mean that it would come down to each driver's skill to handle the car when being passed with less down force?

I watch both type of races and to me, even though Indy is indeed slower, it's more fun to watch because you can pass at most corners. In F1, all you have to do is start up front and make sure your pit stops are on point.

Sway500 · 01-27-2016, 10:09 AM

You would think it would come down to driver skill, but the dirty air from the car in front "stalls" the aero produced by the car behind. If the chassis are the same, it means you can't use you chassis strength against the other car as you will both have the same strengths, and you will also have less downforce due to the dirty air of the leading car so its a lose lose unless you have the advantage of fresh rubber, which you could lose if you try to overtake too many times due to accelerated deg.

SoundEfx · 01-27-2016, 11:45 AM

I hear you. So it basically comes down to the same thing, the car in front will stay in front.

Jibbberish · 03-19-2016, 08:57 PM

So, this new quali format is ass. I get that they're trying to make it exciting or whatever but man if you get dealt a shit hand with track position you're pretty much screwed. But if you want good track position, you gotta sit at the end of the damn pit straight for like 4 hours while your temps fall apart.

It's already going bye bye. It only took to the beginning of the Australian Grand Prix for the officials to hear loud and clear. Even the announcers on NBC sports mentioned it during their broadcast.

On the other race tip it was an awesome race and a great season opener regardless of the fact that qualifying did suck complete ass. Lol

Rob's S14 · 04-01-2016, 03:19 PM

so it looks like they're sticking with this retarded qualifying for one more race. hopefully it's as bad as last time so they just switch back.

lewisfk · 04-01-2016, 07:33 PM

The last time I checked the ticks for the Curcuit of America tickets were not available. Everyone should come to Austin, TX and keep it weird! !

Rob's S14 · 04-01-2016, 10:51 PM

yeah if you look it says sign up for the presale list. you basically email them and wait for a response. pretty early right now anyway.

drift freaq · 04-02-2016, 01:31 PM

I am definitely going to Austin this year.

Rob's S14 · 04-04-2016, 10:42 PM

you decide which ticket package you're going for? paddock club would be pretty damn sweet.

Not yet. Though I have been told turn 9 has excellent viewing . I am going to talk to an old buddy and see if h can still get me a paddock pass. He works at SpaceX now but used to be on the old Lotus/Renault crew.

lewisfk · 04-06-2016, 12:24 PM

Taking my kids, so hopefully I can get 4-5 good seats under $500!

drift freaq · 04-06-2016, 01:41 PM

The entrance tickets are not bad. It's the Hotels and parking that gets crazy. In fact book your hotel soon as the rates go through the ceiling. Parking is $250 yup $250! So best idea is to get a Hotel with a shuttle to the track to save there.

lewisfk · 04-06-2016, 01:44 PM

I live there, so I will have my mother and law drop us off and pick us up. Thanks for the heads up on the parking, I will pass it along.

Damn am I envious, lol I am expecting Hotel expense to be the largest part of my expenditure as I can fly free on Southwest due to frequent flyer miles.

BoostyMcZface · 04-08-2016, 06:00 AM

150 or so a night for hotel isn't terrible. probably can find cheaper not going through the f1 website. probably about 1500, 2 grand for a good weekend with food and drinks and hotel for 4 nights with parking and rental car. hmmm, to go to somewhere sunny and tropical for vacation this year or go to texas and see my first f1 race. decisions...

but, hopefully this new quali setup is gone for china. at least the last race was pretty exciting, and HAAS is looking to be in good form. I'd love to see seb or kimi put a hurting on nico and lewis though. but we'll see. I feel bad for jenson and Alonso though lol

Rob's S14 · 06-09-2016, 09:12 PM

anybody in here figure out a way to watch online? My cable contract is up and I'm ready to cut the cord. (sick of paying for hundreds of channels I don't watch) this is the only thing I haven't figured out how to replace.
