It also looks FAST. Like faster then last years stuff, going round the bends, the car looked absolutely on rails.

Aah, come awwwwwwwwwn, the last turbo era was GOLDEN AGE OF FORMULA 1 and the engine’s sounded like this, with less mad electric turbo spin. These engines sounds absolutely awesome.

The old V8's all sounded exactly the same as well. It was boring. High pitched nnnnneeeeeoowwww after high pitched nnnnneeeeeoowwww.

Now,…

Yeah, unless Newey pulls a masterpiece out of his butt (far from unlikely) this season could be a bit of a wash competitively.

So I guess it’s good there all gonna be way faster then.

Yup, more or less. They also work to clean the flow of coming of the airbox before it hits the rear wing. Which is more important now the rear wings have lowered and are back at about that height.

Didn’t fade like a trend, were tyrannically outlawed like Pokemon cards when I was a kid in 90's British primary school.

Because the cars would be so fast you’d need massive g-suits to stops the pilots fainting all the time and all crashes would result in tears in the space time continuum and a million fatalities.

This is unfortunately the paradox of modern F1, technology is at a point where, unrestricted, the cars would be too fast.…

Which is the name of my slightly odd nearby barbers.
All they really do is cut hair.

I take your point, but I was referring to the current Merc race, chassis and engine teams. All of whom are currently operating at a rather superior level to Renault. What have you done for me lately Renault?

The Enstone team currently back under Renault branding is a seriously formidable racing operation though, with…

Was going to add, it’s a misconception that all cyclists are weight savers. Only the most extreme climbers going for Grand Tour wins and there domestics prioritise weight to extreme levels. Even Froome has been known to ride TT bikes on mountain time trials cause on short stages weight isn’t even such an issue for a…

Well regular cycling fans and obsessives would tell you the opposite. The peleton sacrifices extra weight for aero gains all the time. There are four types of bike in the peleton, light weight, aero, endurance and TT.

Eh, fairings seem like a sensible solution tbh.
The UCI could afford to be less rigid about what constitutes legal bike design.

So, they still had them on as late as Austin actually, by that time there was only one bell blocker or whatever they called it by that time though.

Leicester got fucking lucky. Not in the sense that they won the league, although that was lucky, but lucky in that they had Steve Walsh. Steve Walsh is a genius, he found Kante, he found Marhez it was his call to sign Vardy.

He’s now offed to Everton to be Director of Football and Leicester have reverted to what they…

But also, Merc just makes better more advanced cars then Renault and hence win stuff, so it could be that.

Bet it gets banned, quite quickly.

F1 likes banning cool basically harmless shit, has for about 2 decades now.

No dude, they fucking raced those.
And were shit, surprising no one.

God, McLaren are so frustrating, remember those ridiculous reverse L side pods they had?

Thats because every single year in F1 since, I don’t know, the early 90's? The cars turn up to the first race with a load of upgrades lol.

Ooof too soon.

I cannot remember a more brutal sacking.

Amen. This is as disgraceful a sacking as I’ve seen in a long time.

Apart from anything else, getting relegated with Claudio after winning the title would have been PUNK FUCKING ROCK. Chances to be that metal don’t come along very long. Now, it’s just icky.

Don’t watch baseball, do watch cricket, in cricket its long been established, funny cricket, is the best cricket.
