The Formula One Thread

Pirelli tire testing today and everyone is with their new team for the most part. Kimi is rocking an uber kewl black and white helmet. Stroll has a morphing helmet of his Williams and new Force India colors.

 

And are the tires called soft, medium and hard?

 

How Kimi's day ended.

 

Sauber should be sitting pretty for sponsorship now that the Iceman has cometh back.

 

Bro...Val Kilmer ain't gonna fit in the car.

 

Now that the cancer got him, he'll be fine. If he can get back into the F-14, he can fit in the C37.

 

It must be so amazing to be a famous racer and be able to do all this cool shit.

 

Jimmi said he wants to move to Indy when his Nascar contract is up. But he is more interested in the road races.

 

That was a no-show. No track footage, no onboard, no driver comments. WTH, Papa!?

 

You got exactly what you paid for.

 

Papa can't answer right now. He banned himself for posting a non-MC video.

 

and

 

What? No impressions from the drivers? No comparison on how they got on? Geez, come on!

 

It's good to be king.... (or queen...I dunno....)

 

More importantly, it's good to have the ability to read. Auto racing videos have been posted with impunity for years by people who can understand basic English.

 

The F1 car was a 2013 McLaren with Mercedes power. Jimmie was .2 slower than Alonso in the F1 car, very respectable....but Alonso was 4 seconds faster than Jimmie in the Cup car! That's impressive.

 

I wouldn't put any faith whatsoever in lap times for that kind of event. That reminds me of the time when people thought Rossi could just show up at a F1 race and fight for the podium.

 

He had the great idea of deleting the rules before he did so

 

Or when Alonso thought he could be competitive in MotoGP within a year.
