>>74558373
This is perfect, thank you.

>>74558557
He was good, not the greatest of all time but good
If i had to go for an equivalent it'd probably be a mix of Vettel (as in he use to complain alot about other riders) and Rosberg
Stoner just liked racing, but couldn't deal with all the rider politics and media hounding that came with it, so he said fuck it and retired a year after he won his second championship

I wish he'd come back for at least a few wildcards though, the testing this year shows he still has no problem at all matching the pace of the aliens

Do you think the drivers know or have been told the maximum capabilities of the car?

>>74558333

>>74558313
>overhyped
He wasn't though, everyone considered him shit Putin-backed pay-driver that overstayed in GP2 and wasn't too spectacular there, everyone laughed at his "I checked the curb" moments since day one. And he actually did reasonably well after not being able to find pace to fight Kubica, he wasn't faster than Kvyat in his better days but if Lotus/Renault didn't go to shit that year with the car not being developed at all he and Nick could've had a really good year.

>>74558617
ooth, you could be on top of the fucking world at 29/30 I would consider it personally

>>74558669
Most of them, likely, but what does it matter if they don't know the maximum capabilities of other cars.

>>74558669
anon, would you want to drive a car if you didn't know how far you could push it before you hit the limit?

>>74558676
Yeah true, I just think he's great in general but song writing is something I've tried and it's become apparent I should just play instead, not mention I can't sing.

The thing about Noel is that alot of his lyrics are average, and a lot don't make sense, but there's some indefinable quality to them that just make the songs so great and really connect with the people listening. I've seen his High Flying Birds act a few times now and is easily superior to the majority of aussie acts I've seen at Falls and the one time I went to Splendour.

>>74558728
In Oasis, his lyricism was honestly subpar, but it was catchy, with some great lines in some songs. I think the reason it worked is because he got to the point off some things, in a really blunt and simple way. 'There are many things that I, would like to say to you, but I don't know how' is probably something that we've all thought. It's not too 'common man' and not too intellectual. It's just a perfect line.

The guitar work was also below average generally, but sometimes he did some good lines. It would be pretty good, except frankly, he has no idea what he was doing 90% of the time, and relied heavily on a capo, and lazy chord playing. In a technical sense, he's lacking, and it's hard to say he did well when he just left two fingers in the same place the entire song (Whatever) et al.

The HFB stuff is more complex, actually has proper basslines and more complex chord shapes, and most of the lyrics aren't non-sequiturs. I think overall, they're better albums, but the first two Oasis albums have some better songs, and alot of the early B-sides are GOAT.

Yeah, I think his HFB is quality, The Death of You and Me and Ballad of the Mighty I are amazing, according to him he's been working on his third since late 2015 so we might even be seeing a third LP sometime at the end of this year which is an exciting prospect. The whole story and origin of Oasis seems almost too good to be true but I guess it's just one of those right place right time instances that occur on this crazy ball of spinning mass.

Does that mean we put Stroll in the irredeemably shit bin for the next 3-4 years?

Disagree. HIM does lots of religious symbolism, lots of Lovecraftian references yada yada yada. Some songs more than others. Different from angsty/edgy teen lyrics though. It doesn't necessarily make it better, but definitely different.

Could be an out of fuel run, but it's still 20 minutes to go in the session, not the usual 5.
But then again, if any team were going to be cunt enough to do it with 20 minutes left and ruins everyone's final runs...

>>74560118
Alright. I hope they test them eventually, even if it means dropping the sandpags for a couple of laps.

>>74559980
I think you've got the wrong idea about why people like it. They don't care about the aesthetics of it (though the orange/pink is a nice vibrant color for a racecar IMO) but they like it because of how many legendary drivers have won races in that livery. The success that livery has achieved in several different series across the globe made it iconic, not the visual itself.

I wonder if Wobbler would have won a world championship if he had launch control several years later at Red Bull...

Fernado Alonso retirement or murder suicide imminent by midseason break

I honestly think he might have cracked. You can take 2 years of "development" if it ends up paying off in the final year of contract right? But now he's essentially going to spend his entire 3 year contract fucking around in a shit team and they didn't even manage to get it together for the new regulation change. I mean jesus christ.

at least he still has his 35 million euros per year paid largely by Honda

>>74561385

Renault PU hasn't been half-bad since Canada/Monaco 2016 m8

I do think the Merc/Ferrari/Renault PU's are closer to parity than people seem to think. I think there are performance differences but its not like a Merc is just immediately the best thing ever and no one else has a chance anymore.

Honda on the other hand is seemignly still a total death sentence

>>74561452

Really paid off for Honda

So far they've

It's interesting to look at the steering wheel. No corrections. Turn it and it goes, no second guessing, no searching for grip, its like driving a go kart or something. Now its impossible to know how hard he was pushing or how much fuel he had. It's insane and worrying nonetheless because

option A) he was pushing hard on a quali sim lap - and the car is fucking planted as fuck when you're driving close to the limit of what it can do

option B) he wasn't actually even pushing hard and it was just a random low fuel run with no real timed importance - Alonso said Merc's are capable of 1.17s. If this is true, then well, the race pace is going to be absolutely blistering and if you have RACE laps of 1.20 or even 1.22 its going to be just insanity but also result in likely no overtakes at all.

Either way we are going to be seeing a lot of Sochi 2014 type races except with faster cars

>>74565642

F1 shouldn't stagnate or look in the past and go "that was better lets just stick with that".
That doesn't mean the engines have to be hybrids though.

Turning the engines into V10/12's solely for entertainment reasons is no better than DRS and other gimmicks done "for the fans".

Turbo engines was the 80's pal, we went backwards when they decided to put these failure of an engine in modern day cars

I was at monza roughly 15 years ago on the main straight across from the pits during the 3 litre V10 Era and i can tell you i could have been 100% deaf and still i would have known what was going by me from the sound vibration those Engines put out

>>74561497

This is why I don't think Honda will stick around long enough to build a competitive engine whether it be for these regulations or the next.

Gonna be great when Mclaren has to finally suck it up and go back to Mercedes. The "we're a championship team" meme was all for nothing.

Twin turbo and higher revs please.

It's funny how Hamilton is routinely shit on for being American when this is how Schumacher was quite openly. I suppose the difference is that Michael's interest was genuine and he didn't give a fuck while Hamilton is literally only doing it for #branding.

The problem isn't the engines, it's that the ADHD riddled audience doesn't like that one team (at a particular time) has completely and utterly dominated every season (except the first half of 2012 with the fucking meme tires) since 2008.

Since 2010, there has been 5 contenders for "Most Dominate Car F1 in History" and people are fed up with the silliness of hoping that something goes wrong with the Red Bull or Mercedes cars so they don't walk away with yet another win.

>>74571591

Hakkinen I guess?

Sheer technical superiority over the rest of the field in terms of actual riding pace and ability, his technique raised the bar and after his arrival people began riding differently, the modern body position where everybody is insanely leaned off can basically all be traced back to two people, which is stoner and pedrosa, pedrosa actually was the guy who started doing it first, but stoner copied it and did it better.

Stoner also had godlike "feel", he could ride bikes bucking, weaving and chattering on the limit and win when other people would struggle to finish 10th on the same bikes (like the carbon framed ducatis)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EwxnxfIav8

Stoner is actually wildly underrated, in terms of raw talent he's probably the best to ever sit on a road racing bike.

"The problem is that the grid is too strong nowadays. There's no real "weak" drivers that really deserve to be dropped. Every single one of them (besides Stroll because he hasn't started a race yet) has proven their worth in F1 in one way or another.

In my ideal world, Kvyat should've been replaced by Gasly, Wehrlein should've gone to Williams instead of Massa, and Giovinazzi should've gone to Sauber with Ericsson. But that didn't happen."

Lmao @leddit, the formula 1 grid always sucks once you leave the top 10

You plebians think the 2nd half of the 20 best drivers in the world are stuck in GP2? Nah, they were forced into retirement by the first half. The Jensons, Webbers, and Coulthards of the world are almost always pushed out for a lesser talent.
