The F1 Thread

It’s got fucking roundabouts. Will make the old valencia track look like Monza.

Also struggling to see where you put a pit complex. Parking all the transport trucks at the Bernebeu? Also where are the stands going for the crowd and where are they supposed to park?

Woah! It’s going round my old office!! My lived experience of taking a few of those corners is available for a fee (though I was doing it in a Seat Leon). That part of Madrid is a long, long way from the streets you might want to see of course.

Street circuits are very much the sporting spectacle poor relation. Put F1 cars where they belong and perform best.

Generally agree but the Vegas race was a good one (stuff before it, not so good mind)

Some of the tracks are dull as shit as well but probably more down to how the cars currently are than anything else

Barcelona isn't a great track in itself, it's not like you're losing Spa or Sao Paulo.

Do up Jarama or Jerez then. Or better still give the slot to Circuit Algarve or Maranello

They just made Barcelona loads better by getting rid of the rubbish chicane at the end of the lap so it’s a shame to see it replaced with yet another street circuit.

I did an advanced driver course at Jarama and, come the practical exam, started off with a sort of 'Only Fools and Horses...' tribute act by getting in the passenger side.

Visa Cash App RB F1 Team.

Stake F1 Team Kick Sauber knocked off their perch as the worst team name in recent history within six weeks. Brutal.

Catchy

I give Crofty and co until race 2 of the season before they go back to saying Alphatauri

 

[Carrotdude]

Stupidest thing I’ve ever heard

 

[Carrotdude]

Seriously?!

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Holy shit!

Seems to be moving there every year.

The F1 version of Wolves signing a forward

 

[EpsomWolf]

Has he given up on Mercedes or have they given up on him? Is it a statement of intent from Ferrari or has he just gone to top up his pension?

Nothing lasts forever but it’s difficult to know where to go with that.

 

[Carrotdude]

This is by far the most concrete rumours that have surfaced about this but I’ll believe it when I see it

 

[Kenny]

Looks like it's actually happening.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Expect the 2024 Merc to be an absolute dog then

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Hamilton to Ferrari for 2025.

Feels a bit like it could end up going the way United signing 36 year old Cristiano did.

 

[EpsomWolf]

Expect the 2024 Merc to be an absolute dog then

That’s my fear. The last thing F1 needs is another year like last.

I have just forked out for an annual subs to Kayo sports here as the have the F1 rights to everything bar the Australian GP which is on channel 7 I think.

You get drive to survive too so that had better be stonking as the Max wins every race show is going to be less than thrilling.
