Was Alonso testing yesterday? I watched a few minutes of it here and there but there wasn't much happening. Still glad Indy is based enough to stream their tests for free though.
Also, early thread but good thread nonetheless.

There are some protocols he has to get caught up on before he can be on track with the other more experienced Indy drivers, and I believe he is the only true "rookie" entering the race this year

Do you think OW cars would be significantly faster than today if their governing bodies had let all ideas on the table(with the exception of mandated 4 wheels).

Williams getting rid of him after 2010. He would have won at least one race and gotten some podiums in 2012.
Then being teammates with Perez who probably is very good as well and is JUSTing his career quite a bit also.
Renault might become a very good car though in the future so it's not over yet.

>>75679790
Bianchi would have gotten the Ferrari drive after Kimi's second shitter season in 2015, or in 2018.
>>75679808
Exactly. He was supposed to be Frances new wonderkid.
I wish I was a Texan. Is it hard to just move there and buy a farm?
If you had to choose: Would you rather be Gerhard Berger or Damon Hill?
I think even though Gerhard Berger has never won a championship, his net worth is probably ten times higher than Damon Hill's.
How did he do it?
>>75679820
You'd need a sturdy dinghy to make it that far friend
>>75679822
>his net worth is probably ten times higher than Damon Hill's

I would rather be Damon Hill because he still has a full head of hair (or at least a very convincing hair piece)

Is Andretti embarrassed for his beta son or do you think he's happy he at least has a job.

We enjoy all the rights Texas does, we are primarily German in descent as the Midwest is where most German Immigrants ended up, and you don't have a huge population of 1st(illegal), 2nd, and 3rd generation Mexicans living near.

Embarrassed, sure.
Marco needed more time in the development series and should have been racing anything he could get his hands on.
Driving for his family has demoralized him so badly, there were things said that should not have been said in any family.
He needed to develop away from his father and grandfather. The foreign jr formulas would have been a good start.

I just guessed it. Think about it: Berger spent almost his whole carreer in a top team. Damon Hill on the other hand, won his championship still having a "rookie-like" contract. He probably had a decent salary at Arrows in 1997 but that's about it I guess.

well berger was the No2 driver most of the time, probably there was some differences in the salaries his teammates got.
also think about the publicity and the post/racing money opportunities they had. Not saying that Berger isn't well known but Damon's appeareances are probably more expensive since he has that World Champion flair to it.
But you make a good point, though

been a penske fan since my dad was and i root for helio since he's been there the longest, but as long as a driver isn't a massive cunt they will have american fans. But mainly people like marco andretti, even though he sucks. similar to dale jr in nascar
I hope Fernando's road course instincts kick in, and he winds in a bit of opposite lock when the rear gets loose.

>"While rushing to the car, I noticed small splotches of a peculiar gray substance marking a trail on the asphalt leading up to the driver. When I reached the car, I was shocked to see that Smiley's helmet was gone, along with the top of his skull. He had essentially been scalped by the debris fence. The material on the race track was most of his brain. His helmet, due to massive centrifugal force, was literally pulled from his head on impact...I rode to the care center with the body. On the way in I performed a cursory examination and realized that nearly every bone in his body was shattered. He had a gaping wound in his side that looked as if he had been attacked by a large shark. I had never seen such trauma."

This is a trackside marshal's account of Cevert's crash or more specifically, the aftermath:
>Here, then, is what I was able to note immediately after the decapitation: the eyelids and lips of François worked in irregularly rhythmic contractions for about five or six seconds. This phenomenon has been remarked by all those finding themselves in the same conditions as myself for observing what happens after the severing of the neck ...
>I waited for several seconds. The spasmodic movements ceased. [...] It was then that I called in a strong, sharp voice: "François!" I saw the eyelids slowly lift up, without any spasmodic contractions – I insist advisedly on this peculiarity – but with an even movement, quite distinct and normal, such as happens in everyday life, with people awakened or torn from their thoughts.
>Next François' eyes very definitely fixed themselves on mine and the pupils focused themselves. I was not, then, dealing with the sort of vague dull look without any expression, that can be observed any day in dying people to whom one speaks: I was dealing with undeniably living eyes which were looking at me. After several seconds, the eyelids closed again [...].
>It was at that point that I called out again and, once more, without any spasm, slowly, the eyelids lifted and undeniably living eyes fixed themselves on mine with perhaps even more penetration than the first time. Then there was a further closing of the eyelids, but now less complete. I attempted the effect of a third call; there was no further movement – and the eyes took on the glazed look which they have in the dead.

The same thing could have happened in F1, in fact it has. All that would have needed to happen was for a bit heavier wing to hit someone's helmet and put them into a coma.
Wilson was a freak accident and it still sucks we lost him.
Why does he think F1 and Indycar will be implementing some kind of cockpit protection, whether shield, halo, or aeroscreen?

It wasn't a pretty innocuous question, I wish Germany didn't have such a large non-German population living off of the ethnic German populace.
All of these countries inviting these unemployable people to their countries are in for a rude awakening when their main taxpayer base(the native ethnic pop.) shrinks to the point where welfare is unsupportable. Do they think the migrants will take well to their welfare being taken away.

Actually I'd love to see Mal do Indy. I think he's a talented driver when he keeps in under control.
Massa could probably go too given he's Rubens v2.0.
I was watching the Indy test last night and there were like 700 people watching it. There's 70k now watching Alonso not driving a car.

>>75680368
In America?
By a little bit.
At (Indycar)CART's peak in the early 90's when Mansell came over for two full seasons the series was growing internationally and was easily as big as NASCAR in the US.
>>75680397
warming up to it I would imagine
>I'm ready
t. Alonso
>>75680368
this is just anecdotal, but i've met more f1 fans irl than indy fans (and 2/3 of those f1 fans were foreigners)
overall though, NASCAR is the only motorsport in America to approach any kind of mainstream popularity
why is he moving to the middle of the track after the turn instead of staying on the line?
>>75680394
No. But they cut them now.
I was hoping so bad he shit talked him.

Alonso Lap 3 at ~209 mph
>>75680412
Wall fucks with aero and there's a slight decline towards the inside of the track so you want to run 'down the hill'

>>75680456
what is solid quali pace. How come they do not time laps. Is it just for the oval events?
>>75680456
It's rookie orientation.
They're required to run slower laps first, then slowly pick up the pace.
Im getting tired of this Alonso jerkoff, hope his car crash in flames.
>tfw 233 mph lap incoming.
>>75680470
230ish was last year's pole.
Speed and time are proportional obv.
Any chances of beyonce performing at the end?
>>75680430
lyl
>>75680470
Last years pole was 230.7 mph. It's an average time over distance for four laps. They use a quali system similar to f1 (11, Q2, Q3) for road courses
>>75680472
O-oh ;_;
>>75680419
Not really. I love Czech women. Spanish women don't really do anything for me even though I love latinas like in Colombia.
>>75680470
American racing is all about average lap speed, not times
Back of the field will do ~224mph average lap in qualifying. Andretti cars should do 228-230
Can the Amerikuns pls keep us updated a bit on how he is doing pace wise? All this stuff on screen tells me nothing. Thanks.

>>75680503
Since these are laps for the rookie test they don't mean much. He just has to hit an arbitrary lap time.
First flyer of second stint at ~208
>>75680503
He's right in line with where he needs to be for Rookie orientation.
The speeds will gradually rise.
At what time in Europe does the race start and how long is it? Probably evening, right?
>>75680511
He probably will at some point during practice
>>75680512
¡HEIL SKELETON QUEEN!
>>75680524
Like 4 hours or so after usual euro F1 time iirc
>>75680511
Binning it is the only way to know the limit. He will in practice at some point but that won't mean much.
>>75680304
no, pronounce the "e" like in the word "belt".

>>75680641
>only a 1 mph difference.
>"Only"
>>75680654
it's really the semantics as they're proportional but average speed gives a better description if someone is not familiar with track times at different circuits
>>75680665
A lot in qualifying but good enough for boring meme laps
>>75680663

HONESTLY, what are we doing here? Racing, or watching paint dry?
>>75680702
was talking more about his personality than his driving ability
>>75680707
Good for now. His orientation is going smooth, would be poor for qualifying or race pace though
>>75680707
If it was the race he would be black flagged but since it's the rookie test he's just taking it easy. WIll be interesting to see what he laps later
>>75680724
I should mention this is also due to the setup of the car they've got right now, much more down force than will be on the final package
took them a while
>>75680723
well, in that regard, he complains too much, in that Im a libcuck tard way. other than that he is ok for me
Who /missingmonaco/ here?
>>75680723
I think Vettel is a phenomenal driver though as well.
He's a top lad obviously.

>>75680783
Yes, all the way to the wall on entry and exit
>>75680769
all you really need to catch from Monaco is the start
>>75680783
Yes.
When a driver is really on it, to get a better run off the corner and conserve momentum, they will use as much track as possible and almost touch the wall.
It's pretty crazy.
>mfw Montoya cucks Alonso all May
>>75680750
They don't race at the exact same time tho
This whole thing is only a win/win desu. If Alonso fucks up get to laugh at him as he drifts deeper into his depression. If Alonso wins at their own game get to shit on /indy/ & /motor/sp/ort/ for months to come
>>75680799
I hope Montoya wins. Imo he is the best driver in the world and it's sad that Penske only offered him a ride for 2 races this season
Why are you this lively today? Is there some meme race series today worth watching?
>>75680804
you still usually show up a lot earlier than the race starts
Sub 41 second laps, that's 219.5 mph now
>>75680804
don't tell him
america still hasn't realised that 2pm in Monaco isn't 2pm in in Indianapolis.

>>75680817
is that good? What you expect the winner should have?
>>75680831
For a rookie test that is very good. That's around what they will average during the race although they will run with less downforce and more fuel
>>75680828
thanks lad
>>75680840
They might run about the same DF.
It's pretty hard to run a low do setup during the race due to the sheer amount of aero wash.
He seems a bit happy sat there. Will he move over to Indy fulltime for 2018 if he can arrange a deal?
>>75680860
He'd rather go to Renault I think.
>>75680860
Idk, I guess next year he'll focus on LeMans if things go well. Even if I don't know if there are many chances for a competitive Lmp1 seat
>>75680865
Mate he's not Hulkenberg. Nobody fucks up like him.
Actually scratch that
>>75680865
If the Triple Crown meme is what he really wants he will run Indycar or WEC. There's nothing left for him in F1, whichever series he runs is probably dependent on how this race goes.
>yfw Alonso and Montoya end up duking it out Le Mans for the triple crown
>>75680865
>moves to Renault
>the Honda engine gets good or McLel goes back to Merc and becomes a championship contender
this is the best outcome
I wonder if Ron is watching.
>>75680887
probably getting hot at how differently he would have micromanaged the whole event
Zach Brown basically confirms Mclaren Indycar is to save their North American brand image after F1 destroyed it
I rather doubt that Alonso runs Indycar full time ever(that's quite the pay cut from 40M to 2.5M), but I could see him attempt the 500 in the future if he doesn't win this one(likely won't).
WEC LMP1 is where we'll likely see him.
>>75680811

>He remains 25% shareholder of McLaren Technology Group as well as retaining his 'company director' role, and 11% shareholder of McLaren Automotive, as well as is role there as Chairman and 'company director.
But does Ron actually do anything at McLaren anymore? Seems to me he'd too bitter to go work for them still, even if he isn't persona non grata there and hasn't burned bridges
>>75680934

Don't think we'll see teams move over from F1. Ferrari got the money & the setup but doubt they will go to US. What is Red Bulls presence like in US motorsport?
Then again if McLaren's F1 programme turns into a worse mess than it already it is somehow & if they feel can make it work they could possibly go all-in on Indycar but do not see it happening
