At least the joke matches the current state of F1....albeit a joke that I still find throughly enjoyable and wouldn't know what to do without it! I don't watch F1 to feel good anymore, just to feel normal :nervous:.

Also, could be false, but I heard that company is owned by Google. Imagine if Google came in and invested in a team....possible it would cause quite a competitive stir!

On the Google forecast it says Sunday will be dry until 23:00 when there is an 8% chance of rain, plenty of time for that to change.

Cold and wet start to the day here in Montreal. If the forecast is correct we've got huge showers due on Sunday.

Rain is only good if it's patchy and doesn't result in a safety car/redflag.

No one wants a repeat of Martin Brundle and David Coulthard on birdwatch for 2 hours!
 
A great shot of the Mercs side by side, shame one of them was pointing the wrong way...
 
Mercedes with another weird decision
 
Hahah, oops.
 
Red flag.

I guess they need to get a wet weather feel just in case, but how weird a crash was that?
 
A gravel trap would have slowed him down there ;) The downside of having loads of tarmac runoff.


The nose isn't badly damaged but the pretty all of the front wing is gone.
 
A GIF that perfectly explains what aqua planning is.
 
Lewis was barely moving, his brakes did nothing.

I hate brolly talk or birdwatching. Why can't they just talk about Formula One during the red flag lulls? Their favourite races, early memories or best liveries. Stuff like that; like two fans just talking about it.
 
The corner workers picking the car up were...shall we say "careless"? :lol: It swung back into the crane and the wing hit up against the cab, then it swung back into the wall...that's what looked like anyway lol.

Ah, well not surprising. Concerns me though, considering somebody ran over and killed a marshal last year with a crane (not that I expect anyone who watched or followed the thread to forget).
 
So in true strategy group fashion basically every rule change that has been put up for discussion has been rejected.
 
I don't think that is the "Full" reason why, the reason is when you have the teams in control of what happens to the series nothing will get agreed on due to too many self intrests, Mercedes on one hand would be insane to allow any proposal that requires a big change from the current format as they hold a huge advantage.

Just in the same way Redbull/STR would be insane to keep status quo.

You would think F1 could learn from the CART Failure.

Ecclestone says it has to go: http://au.eurosport.com/formula-1/ecclestone-strategy-group-must-go_sto4766301/story.shtml

2 Teams in strategy group also say it's not working(Redbull and Force India): http://m.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/119082
 
Which is the basis of the complaint - that the SWG only reinforces the hegemony.
 
(shameful plug alert)
If you're interested in the numbers, I've done a simulation of the first stint between Mercedes & Ferrari, using a self-made edexcel lap sim based on FP2 laptimes. The accuracy of laptimes and deg. curves were pretty good, by my standards, at Monaco!

Still quite a bit of fudge in the sheet but I'm just confident enough to put it out there xD

Edit: damn it now up to Kimi to bring the heat.
 
Kimi's time has come. He'll finish first tomorrow
