What are we seeing?
I was wondering the same thing. I think it's the super wide wheels/tires (blankets may be exaggerating the image or it's PS'd). Is there testing this week?
Nope, it was that Matiazzi guy right after Montezemolo.

Hm, is it possible that they may be thinking of dropping F1 program and focusing on making money off producing road cars (they have a pretty solid lineup already) or did they just want Dennis out?
Just want Dennis out I think. They've got a great history in the sport and its that history that sells the cars.
I think he might have been quite stubborn regarding things like sponsorship which is why they had so little for so long.
I think Alonso would have an aneurysm if that came out

McLaren is already at the top or the sportscar game. Don't think they'll forfeit the exposure and possible R&D overlap from F1.

They make great cars and racing adds to their exposure. Maybe being a f1 shitbox for years can hurt that and change their minds though.
FIA Action of the Year nominees are up, made a thread for it: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=224685048#post224685048
Max is the only F1 driver nominated, for his overtake on Rosberg last weekend. He's also won the previous two. Something with internet penetration in The Netherlands and online voting, I'm sure.

No way. Their brand relies far too heavily on their F1 entry.
Fun fact, that UFO thing raised in the air behind them is the reception desk for the F1 offices. The entry from the car park takes you through a pristine white tunnel underground, then raises you through that lobby in a glass lift up to the platform. The place is mind-boggling.

Yeah, that happened to me too. I fired the bastard, but then I had to spend a lot of money trying to convince another somewhat good engineer to join my team.

All the names seem very traditional then we come to "Keith".
He so got called Maria at school
My middle names is Maria, not really that uncommon in Catholic backgrounds. Named after my Godmother.
Did not know that.

That's hilarious.
"Allison wasn't fired. It was personal, because his wife died"
Good job, Ferrari. I hope Allison crushes it at Mercedes, much like Costa did, after they fired him.
Fucking idiots.

I was there last year. It's an insane facility. Walking around the production line was one of the coolest things ever.
The coolest thing was driving a 650s around the Top Gear Test Traxk

It doesn't matter who we are, what matters is our plan.
They didn't fire him. It was well known he wanted to move back to the UK, and rightly so given the circumstances.

Results of Macau GP Q1:
The session ended early for a red flag. With rain in the forecast for Q2, it's likely this is the way the grid will line up for the qualifying race.

As far as I can tell, they've shared the model publicly via a piece of browser-based CAD called OnShape. Does anyone with more time to look into this find out if it enables you to export an .OBJ (or similar) of the model?
The assembly can be exported as a STEP, PARASOLID or STL-file so that cobers the biggest CAD software

Looking good, but the rear wing could be wider.

Can't wait for the funeral procession at Monaco in these new cars.
Yup. I'm going to continue to be a pessimist and keep saying that these new regulations will make things worse.
edit: Ross Brawn raises questions over 2017 regulations
He already tried on Grosjean last year. It didn't work very well.
Same as every other year then.

Just to nitpick, Russell is a rookie to this race but is in his second year of racing Formula 3. He did the outright fastest lap ever on the track. I know it won't count but good for him.
Starting grid for the qualifying race:
Interesting to note where the Prema cars qualified with best placed driver Gunther starting P7.
Also here's an onboard lap of Macau in an F3 car for those unfamiliar.

Happy to see Sette Camara well positioned. He's currently the only Brazilian name with some (tiny) chance to get into F1 in the near future, specially because Massa is gone and Nasr future is uncertain. =/

I'm really interested in this game.. but there aren't any reviews around..
I don't also have a computer that can run it
It's a great game. Best management game since the Grand Prix Manager series 20 years ago.
