Who will McLaren get to replace Alonso for next season? And what if Alonso drops out before the end of the season, who will they get then? Button is the """""reserve driver""""""" but he won't come back to drive that shitbox.

And Vandoorne has contract only for 2017, what if he goes, too?

MERCEDES FUCKING CHEATS

>Renault’s MD for F1 Cyril Abiteboul, welcomed the clarification of the rules saying that it was good to know what was, or wasn’t permitted.
>“We were not attacking anyone in particular. But we needed to make sure that it is clear to everyone, and it can be properly monitored and also enforced that fuel should remain the primary combustible used in F1.”
>“We can refer to the spirit of the regulations – the combustibles are clear for everyone that they should be fuel – but having said that any engine will burn oil.
>“But whether you burn oil for lubrication or as a combustible is something completely different. What we feel is that we need to be extremely clear about what should be the spirit, and we need to be clear also and that should be the FIA’s responsibility to make sure that it is enforceable.

That's why the Merc doesn't smoke anymore, isn't a second quicker than anyone else in Q3, and why there was no "Hammertime".

Mercedes are still better over one lap. And this is a strong track for Mercedes, as is Shanghai. Bahrain & Spain will favor Ferrari, let's see if that will give them the advantage in qualifying, too.

I won't take it hard at all, I'm not retarded.

They can't retroactively go back in time and investigate the past can they. So they will be "cleared" (read not found guilty which is not the same) because they can't actually prove they have done wrong in the past.

It's cheating where people aren't looking so they don't even know you are cheating. "Its only illegal if you get caught"

>>74915713
The difference is that you can easily look at and check the aero meets the specs and it was checked and cleared often. The engines are so complex you need the people to know exactly how it's working, it's like the suspension thing in that sense, it's so complex you need them to know exactly what to look for.

What? Aero is limited in a physical way that is measurable. You can check that something is within the regs physically without being walked through it by an engineer.
Things like the double diffuser for example was 100% within the regs though now is illegal because they added the physical restrictions.
The t wing for example is not illegal either but I bet they will move the physical measurable restrictions to make it illegal.
S ducts again for example are physically measurable.
Deflection of wings is physically measurable.

Engines can have things that are illegal but how the hell are the scrutineers supposed to know they have no idea of that illegal part is doing something illegal or legal. There are physically measurable things too but for example Mercedes split turbo would have been pointed out as something that was illegal when first scrutinised but the engineers would have explained what it was and how it worked making it legal.

It is a hallmark of Newey, having aero pass the deflection tests but in action having optimal downforce at speed then when slowing having extra downforce for absurd stability.
Hulkenberg at USA said that if he tried to brake as late as Red Bull, he would end up at the moon. Honestly, it looks like the balance on the RBR is delicate af this year.

Our country mate. Our country is the most successful in F1 history. Both for constructors and drivers, of course.

Britain has the most constructor championships - 33 in total. Italy is next, but has less than half as many, at 16.

10 of the 15 teams that have won the constructor championship were British.

British drivers have won 16 driver championships. Four more than the next highest, which is Germany on 12.

We also have the most winners from our country - 10, out of the 33 that have won the WDC (next highest are Germany, Brazil and Finland, who have all produced 3 winners)

I mean all of this is very obvious since we're the home of F1. Which is why 7 out of the 10 current teams are either fully or partly based here.

Sorry your "country" is completely irrelevant in this sport m8.

>drivers/champion
That has to be the most meaningless statistic of all time.

The reason is that it rewards countries that haven't got many drivers into F1. And the thing is, that a driver getting to F1 is *itself* an achievement.

So that's why we are the best country - we've had the most drivers, and the most champions (by far - over three times as many as the next highest countries), AND the most championships. We're unstoppable.

>>74918138

Don't worry about the Britbongs, m8.

They have a real hard time dealing with the fact that their country isn't even one tenth as relevant as it was 100 years ago, so they desperate latch on to any pathetic thing they to (falsely) claim it proves they're still important.

>>74919128
Nah m8 I'm watching Kochie carry on like a bigger fuckwit than usual on the balcony of an apartment building and am crossing fingers he's taken out by a bit of roof guttering on live TV.

A small anecdote: When Yasi was coming, I'd just moved into my house but we decided to castle up in the family home with everyone, extended family, pets, etc with generators, food and stuff. I was a bit wary of how my new house was going to cope, so I set up a laptop in my kitchen connected to a Skype account set to auto-answer so I could dial in and check on the weather side of my house until the power went off.

One small problem with what I thought was a pretty smart concept - I forgot to leave any lights on. Dumb fuck, lol.

>>74919257
The usual thing to do is bring inside anything that you can, tie down anything you can't, stock some water in case the water goes off, stock some canned food - the preferred variety comes in 375mL cans and is foamy and golden in colour - and spend the approach time heading out to the weather side of the house giggling with m8s or family until big bits of trees start flying - at which point you close the door, head to the smallest room in your house - the bathroom usually - if you don't trust the construction, and wait it out listening to the radio and drinking piss.

Once it's passed, you go outside and get drunk while you clean the yard.

It's all good fun, but it's much more fun when you're a kid and you get days off from school, than when you're a grown up, and you worry about your house a little and the inevitable rise in insurance prices because insurers are cunts.

>>74918796
Not going to happen. Mercedes were caught off guard with the tire deg on Melbourne. They even asked Lewis to do 1m28s to pull away from Vettel because they knew it was possible with their data.

With different tires and colder weather conditions in China, MWL will be back in full force.

Two questions for everybody:

1) Will McLaren ditch Honda?

2) Where will Alonso be next year?

>>74918796
i want to believe, however if the krautz did not fuck q2 up and so hamilton could start on a 3-lap old tire, vettel would never be able to pass him

I want to believe, but surely he's burned that bridge?

>>74919492

If Mclaren tries to ditch Honda they're going to have to settle the contract which would probably mean surrendering tens of millions of dollars in reparations, paying for a new engine deal, paying 100% of the driver's overinflated salaries (including Button), and losing another 30 million or so in sponsorship.

All while trying to build a new car.

I remember someone from sky running around asking and Pirelli said they were new. I think Max had the same issue as well with a barcode saying they used old tyres

Look up the Mercedes aero components, they're generating more downforce as the Bottas car showed and they're 5kg heaver (granted its the start of the season), accounting for 0.1-0.2s

There's a distinct possibility that mercedes are sandbagging hard to force Ferrari's play early and build upon the rest of the season, I still have a nagging feeling it will be another M/HWL

IndyCar needs to do something about the cars in the next few years. More horsepower, less downforce, make them hard to drive fast.
