Abu Dhabi pretty much blows. Can we get that off the schedule in exchange for Vegas?

This result just shows that when a team comes into the sport for a reason other than to be the owner’s new toy, they can succeed. This whole time Haas has taken a smart approach: they waited until the team was ready before getting on the grid. They set themselves up for success, plain and simple. Both drivers gave…

I originally didn’t think this qualifying format would be so bad because it wasn’t overly artificial but to see the drivers just sitting in the garage, waiting for the absolutely perfect moment to launch their lap was pathetic. Even worse was when the drivers came out of the garage to set out only to realize a…

Just watched the race on DVR. Unbelievable crash. They even covered it on the morning news in NYC. The last time they did that for a F1 accident, it was the accident that killed Jules (not that I’m drawing comparisons, the crash was just that spectacular). I’m pretty sure I watched the replay over 15 times. When they…

Great play by Renault. They know performance definitely isn’t going to be 100% up to snuff this season, especially given that they’re a works team, so this was a good way to get some buzz around them. If they continue to bring bright, eye catching liveries, regardless of performance people will be talking. This is…

They would have been using a Mercedes engine if it were up to them. Merc pulled the plug on that deal. Merc knew they wouldn’t win if RBR even had last year’s engine in the back of the car.

Probably for the better. I’ve heard that with how they tailor the cars to individual drivers, especially now, having a backup would probably be a huge expense.

That’s okay, she didn’t kill them so no punishment necessary.

The irony is strong with this headline. Evans is a fucking joke. Fire this guy. Matt LeBlanc’s career is still alive and well. He’s won and been nominated for major awards very recently for his show Episodes which I’ve watched and enjoyed (not relevant to his status as a Top Gear host, but kind of negates the argument…

Jesus Christ...

The only time I saw one of these in person was when I was out one night with some friends at the shore. Someone street parked it. I don’t know what kind of cowboy pulls a move like that in Belmar, NJ during the summer given the sheer number of (mostly intoxicated) people jerkoffs that roam the streets after last call…

Agreed. Where I live in NJ, 85 is the normal flow of traffic. To really blow by the traffic you need to be pushing 110-120 MPH.

I mean, I’m not thrilled with it but at least it’s not completely artificial. It’s still based on the driver being able to push the car to get a good time. That being said, the tires Pirelli makes are shit and can’t take even one flat out lap and since you have to start the race on the same set of tires used during…

I love seeing this. Nice to just see the bare car running. I read somewhere that because Toro Rosso took the build of the car so down to the wire, they actually didn’t even have time to apply the proper livery that the car will run in for this season so they left it bare. Most people agree that cars that were shorter…

I think the livery is decent at absolute best. That being said, I think this team has set themselves up for stability, if not success. They took the right approach: waiting until this year to get on the grid even though they could’ve entered last year and hiring established drivers rather than just pay drivers who…

When was Ron Dennis ever fun?

I couldn’t disagree with you more. I think that it’s fantastic. That ridiculous purple with the Infiniti logo on the side pod has looked like shit for three years and I’m glad they got rid of it. This design is clean and I think the matte look is pretty sweet. Yes, the blue could have been a bit louder with some black…

Just based on how that car looks, it seems whoever owned really cared about it. Either that or whoever detailed it is a good at what they do because the car looks incredible for over 80k miles. I would’ve thought it had less than half the mileage it actually does have based on looks alone. Whether or not it’s a good…

100% agree as I said in my second reply. The original comment was about how drivers pay to drive in today’s F1, not about whether or not they eventually earn their keep. There’s no doubt money is keeping Maldonado in F1, but the fact is that there are many now renowned drivers who got a chance because someone paid the…

Ridiculous distinction your’re making. Even the most well funded teams won’t turn down extra funding for a season. Renault is a global corporation with revenues in the tens of a billions of dollars per year. Do you really thing they’re going to want for $50 million? They wipe their collective asses with that kind of…
