Finally more races.

More will make it more interesting. Preferably on more identical tracks.

 

[nature boy]

21 races. Gotta feel for the team members and their families.

Hmm...

 

[Risgroo]

LMP1? (lol) Future F1 concept? Vision GT stuff?

Guaranteed disappointment.

 

[Zeknurn]

I reckon it's their concept for a F1 car with a canopy.

Toto: Driver lineup change possible if tensions will grow

looks like feathers are flying in Mercedes garage

It really is Vettel vs. Webber again. Prediction: Rosberg will never get a WDC.

So he kept winning the last couple of races cause Hamilton stopped giving a shit and mentally checked out?

Rosberg is a good driver, very good infact. But I dont think it's unthinkable that after winning his 3rd drivers championship, Hamilton didn't have the same amount of drive to win races that effectively don't matter.

I'm not saying its true, I'm just saying its possible.

 

[Psychotext]

It's believable, though I'd imagine he'd have done anything he could to win Brazil.

 

[fu3lfr3nzy]

I doubt Hamilton will just stop caring since he already clinched the championship.

Whether or not drivers will verbally admit it, statistics and records do matter to them and getting most poles/wins, hat tricks, etc in a season is something to strive for.

I'll throw up an Off-Season OT tonight when I get back from work. We'll see how long that one takes to get moved into Community.

 

[xrnzaaas]

Jesus fuck, so they want cars to have the same length as a Maybach 62? They're already too long imo as it is.

Looks really good I have to say, but doesn't that seem kind of very close to the ground ?
Especially around the wheels ?

 

[krang]

It looks great, that MP4-X. But I've got to say that if you did the same sort of future concept work on an LMP1 car, I'm pretty sure it would look the same. Which makes me wonder what the difference would actually be between the two formats in the future, especially with closed cockpits.

Looks very cool. But that doesn't look like a "real" concept, more like something made to check how people would react to the aesthetics of such a car. The visibility out of the cockpit, for instance, looks bad.

 

[jdw_b]

That back end looks amazing, and the top-down view

Hnnnng

Nah, LMP cars are totally different. The cockpit on a LMP car would be bigger, since it "has" to fit two people inside it side by side. It wouldn't have those gaps between the front wheels and the nose of the car (so no sidepods), and the rear wing would be wider and thiner.

This is next year's Audi R18, for instance. :3

This is an official photo? God that thing looks awful. The LMP1 Porsche isn't a beauty as well, but it's nowhere near as ugly as this thing.

You don't have to post it in Community. The mods will just move it eventually there, but you can post it in OT for better exposure.

Still prefer the RedBull-GranTurismo concept.

Following the recently disclosed mutual partnership between a rival with whom Mclaren® Honda regularly compete and our long-time but now unfortunately past marketing partner, I am willing to disclose that my emotional state at the present moment is in fact one of a distinct lack of happiness

 

[brotkasten]

In the end, it's still a 2016 Renault engine, same as the one Lotus is running next year.

 

[Aiii]

That's the thing though, if the Ilmor stuff is true and is happing in 2016 (and not from 2017 onwards), it's not going to be the exact same thing Lotus is running.

Of course there are limits due to engine rules, but still.

 

[Zeknurn]

The McLaren concept looks nice. They should present it to Formula E where they have a better shot at getting it approved.

That remains to be seen. Hopefully we'll get less bitching from them, though.

Is Toro Rosso running the 2015 Ferrari engine next year?

I'd love to see different chassis in Formula E, but they want to keep the costs down.

Lewis complaining about complaining:

Lewis Hamilton: Nico Rosberg is a moaner

"You've seen he [Rosberg] complains about a lot of things,” Hamilton, a three-time world champion, told the BBC.
“But you kind of let it go over your head because that's just the way he is. It's kind of the different background we come from, I guess."

He's starting to make Britney likeable.

I fail to see the complaining.

 

[kmag]

I fail to see the complaining.

He's not actually complaining, though I'd argue he's being really hypocritical considering some of his antics, although I can't really get worked up about anything any racing car driver says, with very few exceptions they're all egoistical douches with the self awareness of a Hilton sister. If I were to put a list of current drivers I'd want to go have a pint with it'd probably be a pretty short list.

It would be Daniel and Sebastian for me. I'd also invite Nico, but only to see him not being able to have fun.

Yep, they just approved a rule exemption that allows Ferrari to supply a 2015 engine to a 4th mysteriously unnamed team yesterday, actually.

 

[Psychotext]

Just a touch hypocritical. I'd argue Hamilton has complained far more than Nico this year. I wish he'd quit it with the attempted mind games though, it's utterly tedious.
