Formula 1 2017 Season |OT2| A Dutch Horror Story - Sundays on Sky
- Thread starter Ark
- Start date
The Palmers initially rejected the amount of money Renault offered them to take their shit and leave. They finally caved or negotiated a better deal. At the end of the day Palmer will not be missed. His only result of the season was a one-off in Singapore and he slipped straight back into his usual turd driving in Malaysia by spinning before spinning again and almost taking out two cars.
He was never in Formula One without the combination of being British and having a wealthy family.

As in 2 out of 10?
If Hamilton/Vettel/Alonso/Verstappen are Tier 1, Palmer is like a Tier 4.

That is not a tier
I consider Tier 2 as being GP2, IndyCar, Super Formula.. dare I say WEC?
I thought it was meant as skill and not car class.That is not a tier

What the fuck happened there, why didn't Gelael and Deletraz get out of the way?
Fun as hell though, I'm not complaining too much. Good argument for getting rid of blue flags.

The only difference is the taxes they dont pay, it hardly matters.

I never thought that Palmer would leave mid-season, much less at the end of it. Jesus.
He won't be missed, though. Completely bland subpar driver for the class he was driving in. Even Maldonado was "better" in the sense that at least shit was going down when he was around. Mostly his car, but shit went down nonetheless. Palmer was just offensively boring.

Maldonado could at least drive fast...into other drivers but he had speed. Motherfucker lacked common sense and looked like he should be wearing pinstripes, but still.
Does Vettel eye fuck Hamilton's car after every time he gets beat?

It doesn't matter who we are, what matters is our plan.
Hamilton did the same to Vettels car.

I am going to make it through this year if it kills me
Palmer isn't Kvyat. He can come back after maybe getting a WEC championship or so.
Wow, I thought he was in the clear for the rest of the season, but there we go. Can't say it wasn't deserved.
Brutal.

I didn't know how brutal it was until I looked the Super Formula specs up.
Engine displacement: 2.0 L (122 cu in) DOHC inline-4
Gearbox: 6-speed paddle shift gearbox
Power output: 543 hp (405 kW)
Comparable to a contemporary spec-series Indycar, the pole position lap in a Super-Formula Dallara SF14 at Suzuka Circuit in 2017, 1:35.907, is 5.26 seconds slower that the pole position time for the 2016 Japanese Formula One Grand Prix.

Damn....that's cold blooded.

Yeah, but like this it is really a week too late, or with poor communication. Now Torro Rosso had to fire and rehire one of their drivers which won't help with his morale. Gastly could have come a race sooner or later no problem

Bleh. Normally I'd be all over getting up early to watch the race... but yeah, foregone conclusion this one. Especially with Raikkonen starting so far back.

That's a great start. Mainly Ocon and superb overtake by Verstappen.

Wasn't the VSC invented to cover situations exactly like this? Meh.
