Is it happening again?

How do points work when a driver misses a race and he has a replacement?

Do they count towards his "seat"/number?

Do they count for Constructors?

No.

Hello F1 community. This is my first post in this subreddit. Please go easy on me.

I am kinda new to this subreddit but i am watching F1 for more than 15 years until now. By the way i am 20 years and from Germany so there might be some mistakes in my post.

So with the upcoming Abu Dhabi GP, the last GP of this 2014 season nobody knows if Jenson Button will continue his F1 career with McLaren next season. This lack of knowledge and listening to his last interviews makes me as a huge fan feel really sad because Jenson Button was my favourite driver since he started in 2000 even if my mom told me i should pick a german driver like Michael Schumacher.

I honestly don't know why i chose Jenson and i can't remember it. I was 6 when he started with F1 but for me he had something that nobody other driver had. Since i was not able to speak Jenson as a kid i always called him Jason B. He was my hero and my biggest wish back then was to be a F1 driver like him! Now that i am 20 years old and Jenson is about to leave is a fact which makes me fell really sad and old. Right now as i am writing this i have tears in my eyes. I mean for 15 years all 14 days you spend your weekend with F1 and keep your fingers crossed for one driver. It's like a friend would leave you. I know there is a time for everyone but it's just all of a sudden.. I never expected or thought of Jenson leaving F1 by the end of this season.

It is a little bit equal to the situation back in winter 2008/2009 when nobody knows if Honda/Brawn will have a team or/and a car for the 2009 season. I was 15 and about to lose my favourite driver but then Brawn came out of nowhere with Jenson Button and Rubens Barrichello as their drivers. In the end we all know that Jenson was able to win the championship and make himself a F1 world champion! So i will stay confident that an equal wonder will happen again and i can watch the Australian GP 2015 with Jenson on the grid!

The last couple of days I rewatched some old F1 races i have on videocassettes like his first win in Hungary 2006 and Brazil 2009 where he won the title. Man this team radio in the end.. I remember that I was singing this song for more than two weeks and everyone was complaining but i was just so happy that my driver won the championship. Maybe you also have someone special in your life and you can understand me? I could write endless stories about my moments with Jenson Button but i think that's the wrong time. As Jenson said in todays press conference: 'Live in the moment!'. Even Eric Boullier said he would prefer Jenson over Kevin Magnussen because of experience, etc. Also Alonso likes Button very much so everything i possible and I will enjoy this race like every other race the last 15 years! :]

Even if Jenson will retire by the end of this year i am so proud that i was your fan and i will follow your journey wherever it goes! But nothing is sure for now.

So to all Jenson Button fans in the world who are reading this what was your favourite Jenson Button moment? Not only in races, can also be interviews or other actions you can remember of Jenson.

I would be happy about every comment or story of Jenson, particulary from another Jenson Button fan!

Let's enjoy this race weekend! Start your engines!

Indy is the least oval oval. There's only one line through the corners so passing has to be done on entry which is pretty much how road racing works. The only difference is he will have to draft instead of use DRS

He's correct though.

And have you even actually watched an Indycar race? Most of them are not on ovals.

So this will be the first Indy race I will ever see. Is he going to a team that has any hope of competing?

>implying Alonso won't win Indy 500 easily

Indycar is a fucking joke, second and third rate F1 drivers generally end up doing well. All the guys are old, and the quality of drivers is so low that someone like Alexander Rossi is a "hot prospect".

I truly hope there is a 250 lap battle for the lead featuring Alonso and Montoya, the only two actually exceptional drivers in that series

I'd expect Britain to be a little less booty blasted since they're going to have their nation's last WDC back in F1.

Who knows though, maybe you're upset since you're Mclarens last fan.

>>75182824
1. I thought the Indy 500 was just named that because it's Indy car. Is it really a reference to a single track? that's very odd. Would they change the name of the series to whatever track to race on that weekend and the distance covered?
2. Indianapolis has a GP track obviously.
3. Automatically assume any American race is turn-left and you have a bunch of pissing and moaning for a reply.

>>75182855
Breaking news: A marginal driver in the top series in the world is a hot commodity further down the ladder.

Also for anyone that didn't watch the actual race last year, Rossi backed into the win and coasted across the line on fuel milage. It was his only podium of the year.

>>75182880
They've been racing the 500 mile race at the Indianapolis oval track since 1911. It's leaps and bounds the most popular and prestigious open wheel race in the country, so that's probably why they just named the series after the thing back in the 90s or whenever.

>>75182843

>you know remember that Schumi once called Indianapolis a "boring Go-Kart track"

should have just done in the race in the oval, 2bh

>>75182887

Yeah my point is that people like Alex Rossi or Max Chilton aren't exactly on the same level as Alonso, who is generally agreed to be in the top 3 best F1 drivers of the past 15 or so years

And yea Rossi's win was a meme but he is still hyped up because of it

>>75182801
You'll love it lad. Best race of the year, every year. Perfect antidiote to Monaco's snorefest.

He's driving for Andretti, one of the best teams in the history of the sport. They've switched to Honda this year and their last race consisted of:
>The Michael Andretti-led squad endured a disastrous day in Southern California, with four DNFs
>sensor issue
>inexplicably lost power on lap 78
>suffered an obvious engine failure
>stalled
>It was something electrical

But he'll be in the same team as Takuma "BASED as fuck" Sato. Also Montoya is doing the race as a one-off. So hoping for ALO vs JPM too.

Hamilton = Tiger Woods
Alonso = Sergio Garcia

I usually enjoy things people bitch about, I guess you could say I'm easily pleased. But their new show... Let's put it this way, it's not great. I have watched the special and all the previous episodes before it. The army episode was an unfunny disaster, their running """jokes""" (celebrity dies, "does that mean he is not coming on then", the american) are all horrible.

And somehow, it feels even more scripted and robotic than top gear. What I want to say is if even I think something is bad, then you know it's really fucking bad.

1. Bahrain - Bottas slams into the side of Hamilton and damages his car, to the point where he's losing 1 second per lap, which fucks up his race.

2. China - Engine/ERS failure means he can't set a time in qualifying, starts in 22nd. Then Nasr runs into him on the first lap, taking off his front wing, which gets lodged under his car, and again causes damage which limits his speed. If you don't believe the crash was Nasr's fault then watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Mv-20D2xlY

3. Russia - Engine/ERS failure means he can't participate in Q3, so has to qualify in 10th. Impeccable driving sees him rise to 2nd behind betaberg, but then the team tells him he has a water pressure issue so he has to slow down. By the way he was faster than Rosberg in Friday and Saturday practice at this race, so without issues he probably would have qualified on pole and won the race.

4. Baku - Engine mode issue affects both Merc drivers but Nico is lucky because he happened to have learned about this mode recently. Lewis had not been told this information recently so he was hampered and there was nothing he could do but try all the switches on his wheel (which he did).

5. Belgium - Mercedes put in a new engine which relegates Lewis to the back of the grid because his 5 allocated engines have already been used.

6. Singapore - Has a hydraulics fault which fucks up his practice and then hampers the car's performance in qualy and the race.

7. Malaysia - Engine blows up, on the way to an almost certain victory.

So at least 7 of his races were fucked up due to issues that he had no control over.

I guess it's okay though because Lewis has three world championships and Nico only has one which he only won through luck. Only one of those drivers will be remembered through the ages and it isn't Betaberg. :D

>>75183102
>tfw you realise how much effort was put into this photoshop
I am pretty sure that the image on the right is just the image on the left flipped, but you have made so many tweaks by hand.

- If it's a flip then all the signage (and timing board) on the right would be back-to-front, so you've flipped that all by hand (apart from the small Rolex signs at the very end of the straight, which you've missed)
- And you photoshopped out the cars of course.
- The people on the terraces above the pit lane (centre of the image) have been moved around. The people on the lower terrace on the left-hand image are on the upper terrace in the right-hand one.
- The image on digital screen in the centre has also been flipped by hand; in a straight image-flip, it would be like a mirror image.
- The ambulance and vehicles in the left-hand image (near the left-hand edge) have been removed from the right-hand image.
- The cranes (one in the centre, one near the left-hand corner) have also been removed from the other image.
- No pit crew on the right-hand image.

Some of the differences make me think they are different photos, perhaps taken at different times... but I don't think this can be right. There are too many similarities. The people in the grandstands are mostly identical, save a few edits. Look at the trackside fencing - in the right-hand image it looks photoshopped. With a clone stamp tool most likely.

Whether it was you or somebody else, somebody put a lot of time into photoshopping this image.

What could be said for Baku could also be said for his SHIT starts. By the 3rd race of the season it was apparent that both Mercedes drivers were having trouble with the starts and Rosberg immediately set about trying to fix this issue (simulator practice + demoing new experimental gloves). IIRC it wasn't until the Japanese GP that Hamilton tried out the new gloves and even then he proceeded to shit himself on the grid.

Lewis had plenty of bad luck but he was also completely complacent, which may have been fine if it weren't for Rosberg working his ass off to be competitive.

Also, I still maintain that by not wrecking Rosberg in Abu Dhabi Hamilton proved he doesn't have a GOAT tier mentality.

>>75178737

Not to mention that in the race where Hamilton has his engine failure, Rosberg was pushed back to P8 in the first corner by Vettel crashing into him.
He would have won the race but because of this he only finished P3.

Literally no one would ever assume that Maximum Chill and Alex Martini Rossi are even remotely close to Alonso's skill, and pretty much everyone would have the assumption that any Indy driver on average is less skilled than any F1 driver, but winning the 500 is still super difficult and prestigious so anyone who actually wins deserves some meme praise in my opinion.

Alex Rossi winning last year already exposed IndyCar drivers as second-rate.

Montoya won it in 2015, at age 39, 15 years after last driving in Indy, and 9 years after his last season in open-wheel open cockpit single seaters.

Mansell at age 40 nearly won in 1993, and the actual winner, Emmo, was 49, and retired from F1 13 years prior.

Decent car, but even if he's up to speed and figures out the oval drafting, it's not like F1 where you know that only 3 or 4 cars have a shot at winning. Field is closer...but there's also more attrition.

I reckon he'll rock up and win it, Alexander Rossi won the race in his rookie 500 and Montoya won in his first season back in Indycar after like 15 years. Fernando In the Andretti car from which I've read is supposed to be decent/good he has a pretty decent chance. Fernando is still probably one of the best drivers in the world so I really wouldn't be surprised if he won, I expect him to do well.

The 500 is at least half dumb luck. Rossi won on a batshit fuel strategy, he didn't have top-tier pace. It's very rare for someone to dominate from the poll and run away with it just because of the ridiculous amount of factors outside of the drivers' control. If he's able to take good care of the car he'll have a shot. If he can grasp the different forces at play compared to road racing he'll have about as good of a shot as Scott Dixon, maybe a bit less considering the Andretti cars are probably more prone to DNF for mechanical/electrical issues.

With Indy there's usually only 12 or so cars with the pace to win and of those only 5 or 6 will be in the position to challenge in the closing quarter of the race. Alonso is stepping into a top-tier seat and if his reputation is any good then he will absolutely be one of those 12 and hopefully one of those 6 as the race comes to close.

There will be a lot of "muh first oval" talk but he's on a 6 car team with tons of data sharing and he has a week of testing to run with his teammates and get used to it. Plus Honda was the faster car at Indy last year and is rumored to be again this year.

it's not like the McHonda will even make 3/4 race distance before shitting itself

Monaco is probably the best race for an unprepared driver (physically, that is)

Well that shouldn't be a problem because Indycar is a meme series filled with F1 rejects (Sato, Chilton, Rossi, Bourdais, JPM), no-hopers (Everybody Else) and pay-drivers that shouldn't even hold a license (Ex: Sage Karam, Gabby Chaves, Jack Harvey).

>>75184685

My point stands that Indycar is a joke that is as niche as niche gets in racing, wit the front row of seat probably on offer for cofins considering how old the fanbase is.

Bahamarain,
Ricciardo,
a podium.

nope, RB will be 5/6 at best until PU upgrades

no

Why? Because I don't discount a sportsperson due to his race?

By your logic most of /sp/ should not be here, because half of the discussion on /sp/ is about black footballers, black handegg players, black NBA players, black MMA fighters, etc, etc.

Ricciardo in IndyCar when? Aussies seems to do well here (Will Power, Scott Dixon), and he's about their level.

I'm liking this timeline

Returning to Germany for the sake of it next year is a mistake because Germans don't care about attending Grands Prix and both of their circuits are non-conductive to good racing.

Discuss.

Hockenheim might be a shit track but it produces good races all the time

Nurburgring would be a good track if there was a total redesign of sector 1. I agree that it isn't conductive to good F1 racing as it is quite narrow and the only real overtake opportunities are le DRS straights

>>75184585
Speak for yourself, not all americans cuck

>>75185164
the ultimate carbaby

nearly as bad as mansell

>>75185178
Second only to Schumi in 94 and 95.
22 race victories.
43 podiums.
20 poles.

Hardly a one season carbabby like Button and Hunt.

>>75185168

they should turn it into a flatout left right kink.

That's why he's third :^)

Nah I'm just an F1 fan mate.

Why are so many British champions so shit lads?

There's literally nothing wrong with oval racing, they're about endurance and consistency. They focus on different thing than F1 racing where you can just win by throwing more money at your engine.

>>75185199
Not Jaques?

By that reckoning he gets third.

Oh wait I forgot, you're ABE :^)

Britain is the most successful country in F1 by basically any measure: most F1 drivers, most WDCs, most WDC winners, most WCCs, most WCC winners, etc.

>>75185232

>There's literally nothing wrong with oval racing

The families of Dan Wheldon & Justin Wilson would like to have a word with you about that.

>>75185274
>Britain is the most successful country in F1 by basically any measure:

least deserving world champions

>>75185274

Schumacher wasn't a pay-driver though. He was scouted by Mercedes, ran with their Group C program as a "Junior Driver" and got picked up as a one-off replacement for the Jordan team on the advice of the head of Ford of Germany.

>>75185274
In the modern era (post-75') Brazil and Germany have been far more successful.

>Can /a/lonso do any good at the 500.

Could? In time, sure, but his chances are pretty low due to the fact he'll be a n00b in the car, and not used to having to actually draft with and around other cars while doing 200+.

What's the name of that poo in loo F1 knock off? For the life of me I can't remember it. I need to know for reasons.

>>75185470
I mean, when senna tested an indycar he was way faster then regular drivers on his first bit of oval running. I don't think that Fernando's gonna have too many problems. I also wouldn't be surprised if he has a private test at a smaller oval to figure out oval racing.
