Ferrari SF1000

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Most importantly, can it navigate corners?

They failed at this last time.

[GP]

Not at all.

[Globalgunner]

McLaren MCL35

i guess it's not a bad idea to design a car that looks like it's already shunted the car in front of it, that way they don't have to repair it when it actually happens...

[GP]

Williams FW43

I really miss the Mika and David Maclarens of early 00s. Beautiful cars not festooned with sponsors graphics like these ones. These are basically the same car with different stickers

New cars are shit in every way. A chimp could drive them, relatively speaking (not saying I could drive them). Every year the sport becomes more devalued, with its stupid regulations and crappy third world venues and overbearing safety nonsense. Like football, the men are gone and the social media sock puppets have slid in. That twat Hamilton will probably break every record in the book, never having driven a challenging F1 car in his life. Just like in the shitty football league that labels itself "premier". One team half a million points ahead of the rest. Good for them, at least one team is performing. But as a league it's a joke. Just like F1 is a joke now.

[Mac76]

they'll never beat this

it's got SIX wheels - count 'em...

got to be better ... ;)

OK Boomer

[Niall_Quinn]

Tbf, Tyrrell did some proper cars too. I was watching when that thing raced. Old as fuck.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel's engine died in testing. :rose:

What dog has Ferrari worked on this time around?

Also Mercedes' steering device is banned.

For 2021 but not this year.

Thy banned their steering wheel? At last - Hamilton will have a difficult car to drive.

[GP]

McLaren have withdrawn from this weekend's Australian Grand Prix after a team member tested positive for Coronavirus.

[Niall_Quinn]

I doubt the season will last long. Seems a waste of time even starting it.

[Niall_Quinn]

Aussie GP cancelled.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Harder to see what ones will run.

Vietnam will be gutted if they don't get to have theirs.

[Niall_Quinn]

Vietnam will be gutted if they don't get to have theirs.

They can console themselves by eating dogs and cats and spreading another virus, I suppose.

And that's not even lacist because they do eat dogs and cats.

[Niall_Quinn]

Reports that Vettel and Raikonnen have flown home. This is going to be a great season.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

If the season does start, no Monaco GP this year.

Er WTF?

[Niall_Quinn]

Helmut Marko and his dad, Dr Strangelove.

[GP]

Sir Stirling Moss has died :(

[McNamara That Ghost...]

:(

RIP.

[GP]

Sebastian Vettell will leave Ferrari at the end of the season. If there is a season to speak of.

I wonder where he'll go.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sainz will replace Vettel.

[GP]

Quite sad about that tbh.

Seems Danny Ric will replace him at McLaren

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sad about that because it has all gone tits up for Vettel or because Sainz is going from McLaren to be subjected to to being run under a bunch of clowns?

I agree either way.

[GP]

Ricciardo confirmed at McLaren

https://twitter.com/McLarenF1/status/1260857365819252741

Dutch Grand Prix has been cancelled.

[Niall_Quinn]

So I'd always said Lewis Hamilton was an epic, epic cunt. Fairly obvious, but for some people it needs to be explained. Apparently the cunt will take a knee in tribute to his racist friends when the season resumes. Fine. Stay down there you grovelling dog. No loss to humanity.

But, the thing is.

Mercedes Benz. You know where I'm going, right? With the whole racism thing? And slavery? And where does Lewis draw his wages from?

Now come on Lewis, if you are really committed to this whole fantasy routine, what steps are you going to take against the people who pay you millions?

Anything?

Anything at all?

Ah well. Another hypocritical cunt.

[GP]

Black man bad, obviously.


Alex Zanardi is in intensive care after being hit by a truck while in a handbike race.

[Niall_Quinn]

Black man bad, obviously.


Alex Zanardi is in intensive care after being hit by a truck while in a handbike race.

Stupid racist bastard bad, obviously.

Very sad about Zanardi. Hopefully he'll pull through.

[Niall_Quinn]

This is just mesmerising. The kid is an absolute machine.

I don't know. Can you? Cunt?

Meanwhile Team Woke miles ahead of the field as always. Hamilton denied pole by white privilege. Thank fuck for Ferrari who are a bastion of consistency. Shit before the world went crazy, shit after the world went crazy.

[GP]

Will you ever stop crying? Ever?

Can you at least try? Or if you will insist, can you fuck off and do it somewhere else?

[Niall_Quinn]

Will you ever stop crying? Ever?

Can you at least try? Or if you will insist, can you fuck off and do it somewhere else?

Nah. I'll keep on talking and see if I can be heard over the hurricane whine of woke twats such as yourself. You're the little bitch that mentions me when I'm not around. Lonely? Sorry though - I don't do fag.

[GP]

Wah wah wah.

Why don't you try Parler or some other cesspool?

[Niall_Quinn]

Wah wah wah.

Why don't you try Parler or some other cesspool?

Should a put a na-na-na-na-na on the end of that for added effect.

[GP]

You are so easily triggered. Too much soy?

[Niall_Quinn]

You are so easily triggered. Too much soy?

Triggered - LOL

So triggered I might change my avatar. That'll show you.

:doh:

[Globalgunner]

Amazing that Bottas could get pole driving a lawnmower.

Stroll's car has gone now too, Ricciardo out also.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Grosjean. :haha:

[Globalgunner]

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Magnussen's breaks fail him. Waved yelows, safety car will be out says Brundle.

[GP]

Safety car is out!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Unsafe release for Perez. :doh:

[GP]

I think he'll get away with that

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Safey Car in at the end of this lap.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel gets spun round by Sainz.

Daft by Vettel.

[GP]

Oh Seb :lol:

Time for the retirement home.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

"That makes it even badder". David Croft - 2020.

[GP]

Crofty :doh:

Bring back Jonathan Legard

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Grosjean goes off roading again. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Russell is out.

Safety Car again probably.

[GP]

Bad news for Merc!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Some cars were able to get the faster tyres on in this break.

Bottas and Hamilton are staying with what they have.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kimi tumbled down to 14th, what happened there?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Safety Car again. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bottas wins, serene, mostly. Hamilton will drop to 4th, Leclerc second, Norris fourth and the bonus point for fastest lap! Perez, Gasly, Ocon, Giovinazzi, Vettel and Latifi follow.

[GP]

LANDO NORRIS!!!!!!

Lewis' name is on the F1 title like ours is on the FAC :)

[GP]

Hulkenburg will again drive the Tracing Point after Perez tests positive again.

[GP]

So, it turns out the Tracing Point is just last year's Mercedes. You obviously aren't allowed to do that.

The FIA have docked them 15 points BUT have told them they are allowed to keep racing the car. The other teams aren't happy. Renault, McLaren and Ferrari have lodged an appeal.

Messy.
