You should probably see a psychologist, because it's pretty clear that you have some serious issues that cause you to project your emotions onto others.

And it results in classism, which is probably a hate crime now.

hmm really made me think

Not that Gio is the only one, Ocon did the same, Verstappen did the same, Vandoorne scored points and drove extremely well with no preparation on like a 48hr warning in a shitbox. Stroll is probably so embarrassed at this point that it is just going to end up in a negative feedback loop and he's going to go full beta crashmaster. Maldonado crashed a lot because he overdrove not because of insecurity just because he was a fucking madman, Stroll crashes and is going to continue to crash because he is undoubtedly not ready and probably simply not of F1 caliber. Pretty sure his dad wants him to be an F1 driver more than he does.

>>74458645
Winter Stream is back up for those with extremely good taste.

>>74459381

The thing about him is that he has had a good junior career aside from some very questionable moves on occasion.

I wouldn't necessarily even rate him in the "shitty paydriver" column, because he has some sort of talent. Unless his performances were 100% the result of Premawinslol and bux to get better parts than others, which is likely a factor, but still.

I don't get what the rush is with him. Not every 18 year old is a Verstappen and that's such a ridiculous standard to hold others anyway. If Stroll did the normal thing of doing a year of F 3.5, then GP2 until he wins it, then maybe some LMP or Super Formula in between, he would a) be much more prepared b) more mature c) had made all his mistakes in front of smaller crowds and learned from them.

I guess rich people are just impatient and want things to happen when they want them to.

I wonder how his private tests went? Has there been any word on how those went and if he crashed a lot there? You would think he would have gotten the hang of it by now. I do think F3 into 2017 F1 is a massive step, but Stroll has spent most of the winter break driving 2014 Williams, which is simply not a bad car and not that drastically off the 2017 F1, so his jump in speed is more or less the same as everyone else.

aka he is a fucking hack but probably could have been more passable had he progressed his career like a normal person. Perez has the personal backing of someone who is like 100x richer than Stroll's dad and could buy F1 and it wouldn't even be a big deal, yet he wasn't brought in from some shitty feeder series straight to F1, he did GP2 and whatnot and then got a Sauber drive.

Question.

>red bull
>tag heuer engine

The fuck? Google tells me they make watches.
So they call it that but what is the engine really?
Renault?

>>74459564
Straight from Google because you are retarded enough to not Google this
>"The new partnership, which represents a shift away from F1's conventional supply systems, will see TAG Heuer take up naming rights of the team's power unit, which will be supplied by Renault. The new car will be christened the Red Bull Racing-TAG Heuer RB12." said Red Bull in a statement.

>>74458774
yeah is usually mixed with Jaeger over here so would work i reckon

>>74459608

So do they run the same engine the renault team is using or engine from a previous year/something else?

>>74459564
it's a Renault engine with the TAG Heuer badge on it because Red Bull wanted to find a new engine manufacturer before 2016 but were blocked by Mercedes and Ferrari, and had too much pride to admit defeat

>>74459652
the Internal Combustion Engine is Renault's 2017 engine but the electric sided (Heat Energy Recovery and Kinetic Energy Recovery systems) are made by Red Bull, and Tag Heuer pay naming rights to say they make the parts, even though Red Bull did

>>74459652
same exact engine as Renault. The gap between the RB12 and the Renault in 2016 shows you how bad the Renault chassis was

TAG group do mechanical stuff (apparently turbos and jets) and some Porsche engines in McLaren were badged as TAG in the 80's. TAG Heuer badged engines are referencing the 80's engines, I presume. They won 2 WCCs and 3 WDCs, with Prost and Lauda between 84-86.

TAG group bought Heuer in '85, and renamed it as TAG Heuer. In '99 Heuer was almost complete sold to someone else, and the new owners didn't remove the TAG part. But TAG group is still seperate, and actually owns most of McLaren.

...Yes!
And no.

At some point, I actually went up to 173kg.
Then after a little diet got back to 170kg again which is currently where I'm at.

I started a new, more hardcore diet yesterday. 1500 calories a day. Considering I need around 3700 calories a day to maintain my weight, this should be fast. This is only day 2 of the diet, so obviously no results yet, I can't do miracles. Will post results in a week. I'm telling you though, I feel good. Positive. I'm really gonna do it. Haven't felt this way in years.

I don't blame you.
But something I saw in combination with more antidepressants motivated me.

Also, I didn't want to say anything before I got results but someone asked so there you go. Also, I'm getting kinda worried I'll get banned for offtopic posting. So if I don't report back, I either died of a heart attack before getting to a healthy weight or the mods banned me. Otherwise I'll post when I have seen results.

This seething Brazilian gimmick is getting old 2bh

>>74461038
A favela (Portuguese pronunciation: [faˈvɛlɐ]) is a low-income historically informal urban area in Brazil. The first favela, presently known as Providência in the center of Rio de Janeiro, appeared in the late 19th century, built by soldiers who had nowhere to live following the Canudos War. Some of the first settlements were called bairros africanos (African neighborhoods). Over the years, many former enslaved Africans moved in.

Where are the anons who shilled for Motorsport Manager here?

It's all fun and games until cars start lapping eachother and the on track action turns into one massive clusterfuck.
I'm heading for my first points with Haas in Monaco and I'm ahead of my opponents strategywise and in terms of pace. Yet they just fly through cars they are lapping/1-5 just fly through them, while I lose up to 10s per lap because the game's """""AI""""" is plain shit.

>>74461526

To be fair the tried to remove the british flag from their own

>>74461526
Yes. I tend towards being neutral in most things, and I had no control over where I was born, so I choose to preferunbiased commentary. I dislike when the All Blacks get their dicks sucked by the press.

Hide brazilian threads

Do not reply to brazilian posters

>>74461526
I don't mind bias only of there is a ballance. If for example they had a commentary team made up of a French, an American and a British, they could be as biased as they want but the other 2 will keep them in check and call them out for their bullshit.

I voted to change the flag, streets named after influential people of the time that the street was to be named is common and I don't see anything wrong with that. I don't see how either of those points add to your argument though.

No Ted, it smooths airflow to the rear wing, so it's not trying to produce downforce from turbulent air.

No Ted, it's because the regulations limit the width of bodywork underneath the rear wing main plane.

Ted may well be one of the greatest television broadcasters of our generation

>>74462355
>>74462519
Ted's method of reasoning, though, is "it makes the wing work harder because it adds more downforce because it makes it work harder", not a coherent train of logic. It's one thing to get a detail wrong, but his knowledge of aerodynamics is almost to the point of the opposite of what a part actually does.

He hasn't a clue what s-ducts are for, thinks the boundary layer is always a turbulent flow that has to be dealt with by sucking a small piece of it away from the front wing, turning vanes and bargeboards and instead to the top of the chassis, thoroughly misunderstands the regulations and immediately replaces any correct information he does know with inaccuracies.

Yes that is literally what we are talking about, he acts as if he knows more than them in their areas of expertise.
>because it's more interesting to watch than just nodding and agreeing
Disagree here, what is interesting is finding out the truth, at the start of the interview he was doing a great job at this 2bh, then he started talking about the wings and when told he was wrong he doubled down on how he is correct regardless of the fact one of the most brilliant minds on F1 aerodynamics was telling him otherwise. That isn't interesting to watch, it's just cringy.

>>74462820
Actually the I forgot about the boundary layer nose part. But that was fine because get was asking in a probing matter (like the wings) but when corrected by Newey he continued to probe for more info on how it works, he didn't double down on how it was the boundary layer thing he saidm

No Drs.

>>74465895

No DRS is going to mean there'll be basically no overtakes, since these cars are now wider, produce much more dirty air off the back, have much shorter braking distances, and therefore are way harder to overtake

If the cars weren't so aerodynamically sensitive then I'd support getting rid of DRS

But unfortunately they sort of are

Who cares about overtakes when you use DRS to do it. DRS is anticompetitive and avoids spectacle.

Implying button overtakes are of any interest

pushing button to overtake doesn't excite me, I remember the truli trains.

Good cars still overtook worse cars.

DRS allows cars with similar pace to fight each other.

And even with DRS we barely have that. When was the last time a mercedes passed a mercedes on track?
