Higher up the leg the amputate, the harder it is to walk with prosthetic.

It's better to have a functioning lower leg than just the upper leg. Makes movements with prosthetic legs much smoother and easier.

It's not the GP weekend but between Hungary race and Spa. Teams have 4 test days during season and of those 2 have to go to "young driver" like Leclerc, Auer, Latifi, Gelael or in Williams' case, Gary fucking Paffett.

>>77193388
That's true, a perfect comparison will never be acheived. However, SG Formula (Ricciardo's team) had more success in Formula Renault 2.0 than Motopark (Bottas's team), so I suppose that could reflect more positively on Valtteri.

>>77193408

>>77193496

>>77193569
NO

>>77193627
>Christophe Hurni (born 1 December 1962, Switzerland) is a Swiss racing driver.[1]

>Hurni raced the final race of the GP3 Series in 2011. Hurni is the oldest driver to have raced in GP2/GP3 race weekend, aged 48, and he finished 16th and 20th in both races in the Autodromo Nazionale Monza track.[2]

Based.

>>77193564
Aye, can't deny that. Valtteri has never been very aggressive in his driving though, and Ricciardo used to be Verstappen-esque in his bellicosity.

Since then, Bottas has matured into having stellar, almost clinical defensive driving, but he's still overly cautious and seems to be slightly stuck in the Williams Strategy ways of preferring to let a faster driver through and simply run his own race. In the 2014-15 Williamses he showed he could hold off Mercs, Ferraris and Red Bulls better than anyone, but still had races like Austria 2014 where he settled for lesser points.

Ricciardo's defensive driving in comparison is still quite weak and he has to rely on his aggression to ward off an overtake, which causes high tyre and brake wear and is higher risk in general.

>>77193564
>rickyardo

>>77193692
Also seen this season that when Valtteri is in front he can comfortably control the race with the same composure as Vettel and Hamilton

>>77193408
>Gary Paffett

Still don't quiet understand how he's stuck around so long. He's never participated in any event outside of pre-season testing.

I used to think of him as McLarens Badoer but at least Badoer did a seasons and spent a gorillion hours of his life doing laps around Ferraris private circuits.

>>77193741
maybe he is nice to work with

>>77193692
>podium
>lesser points

>>77193741
He has photos of Paddy Lowe fucking underage kids in Moldova

>>77193741
He did a lot of testing for McLaren before it was limited by the FIA, just less than Wurz and de la Rosa. He matched the requirements for being a test driver, but likewise he wasn't quite up to the former's levels. His experience is infinitely valuable to a team like Williams who need to know with 100% precision how upgrades are affecting their car, as well as setting up cars for Stroll who needs to copy someone else's homework.

Ironically, until Montréal Stroll seemed to be following Paffett's setup school-of-thought rather than Massa's, and it was too much for Lance with how different the 2017 cars handle from the 2014-spec ones.

>>77193262
I agree. Just look at the grill the grid video from last year. Nico's a dick

>>77193784
Still, he doesn't take the unnecessary risks that Hamilton, Vettel or amx do when they bang wheels and force others off of the track. The only exception to this was in Mexico 2015 when he was determined, as he was allowed to do, to hang it around the outside of turn 4. Sometimes he goes too far and brakes 50m too early, inviting driver who do take those risks to pull alongside him, and in Baku he was a dipshit and forgot that he should just ride the kerb normally instead of hopping it to keep maximal horizontal distance between him and Kimi.

>>77195000

That's why one needs to have a side team to support to find joy and happiness for their results when the main one fails, mine for example is Toro Rosso. Same goes for drivers, always have a backup driver to cheer for occasionally.

>>77195005

I'd like to know what Sky will do after Hamilton, will they try to push Rowland if he manages to get into F1? Or they'll become more a general english team shills?

>>77195101

No, I'm buying them from the guy who will inevitably stole them at the Italian GP

>>77195129
Yeah I understand. My backup team is Williams (even though it's hard to cheer for them when they have Stroll) and Hulkenberg is my backup driver.

>>77195129
If Force India'd keep the India I could see Sky shilling for them just because >India was ours once.
I could see them shilling for Daniel too though, same reason.
They'd paint Bottas as the evil Nazifinn though if he manages to snatch a title from him.

>>77195121
I already said this years ago but now I'm saying it again: Raul di Pasta should replace Brundle when the time comes (possibly even sooner). He's very good and I like his voice.

Also, unlike Brundle, he actually puts Crofty in his place all the time. If Crofty says something idiotic, Brundle will just stay quiet, say "hehe" or make some small joke about him. di Pasta just goes "shut up Crofty" and that's that.

>>77195207
I'd be happy with Di resta commentating, his commentary during the British gp was good

>>77195129
>I'd like to know what Sky will do after Hamilton

They're completely fucked when that happens.

RTL in Germany did the same thing during the Schumacher era.
Everything revolved around Schumacher, and normies tuned in to watch "the Schumacher show", not F1.
Then when Schumacher retired, normies didn't tune in any more, because they were fans of Schumacher, not F1 fans.
Their ratings have been shit ever since.

SkyF1 has done the exact same thing, and when Hamilton.
Everything revolves around him. They build their entire product around him. Their normie audience are Hamilton fans, not F1 fans.
When Hamilton retires, the entire house of cards falls down.

The most interesting part though, is that Hamilton's retirement will (likely) happen during 2019-2024, when F1 is paywalled and gone from UK free to air.
And with SkyF1's viewer numbers fucking annihilated, it will dramatically lower Sky's bid price for the rights when they come up for renewal, even to the point that free to air networks might be able to make very competitive rival bids.

Though if it meant he couldn't do interviews anymore I'd rather he do that since he seems to be one of the only interviewers that actually asks the tough questions.

>>77195306
He's just the non-cocaine/mdma-fuelled-Glaswegian type of Scottish.

His calm voice is a really good foil to Crofty's idiocy and almost makes that Hamilshill tolerable. He might not be a bouncing excitable type full of emotion like Davide Valsecchi but that doesn't make him shit.

>>77195915
Nicholls' Formula E commentary has been really good, he just talks too much. Shame that FE schedule clashes with F1 has meant he's been stuck doing BBC 5 Live radio commentary so much this past year or so
