Support NeoGAF

[Orgun]

Something that just appeared on my FB feed from WTF1, abhorrent behaviour in GP2.

Wow holy shit thats deplorable.

 

[Adamm]

Wow that's really shitty behaviour. Reminds me of my favourite incident from the neogaf f1 2011 league!

Its even better with the sound!

 

[Shaneus]

I will never, ever get sick of watching that gif. If only because it's one of the few instances in a Codies F1 game where someone actually smacked into a *visible* wall.

 

[ReadingRambo]

Love that GIF. I like to think that it's Speech's head that launches straight up on impact.

 

[Shaneus]

Ahaha. I never noticed that, whatever it is.

 

[pants]

Will be interesting to see how F1GAF reacts to a Massa-like turn for Webber. If I recall a lot of folks were calling for Massa to be sacked mid-season. Can the jawline save him from our ire?

Massa should absolutely still be sacked. There is zero reason to be such an inconsistent 'confidence driver' at his age. Best to get someone fresh in.

I can think of a plausible reason involving a skull fracture and a high speed crash.

if he was still the same driver as this time last year arguably yes but on his current form no chance.

So Lotus is only team that can manage the tyres. Mercedes is also quite upbeat for the race.

No-one seemed to have a noticeable advantage on the long runs in FP1, all the tyres were getting shredded.

Despite the reason, best to get someone fresh in.

I disagree, he'll just dip again as he is so inconsistent. Herein lies the problem, you need consistency.

 

[Juicy Bob]

We still haven't reached the qualifying session of the second round of the season. It's still way, way too early to start evaluating driver performances fairly.

Spoiler

Except Chilton, who's shit.

 

[Omiee]

Grats.

Also, you should probably check the post race news before criticising Webber...

thanks.

yeah i just read that mclaren apologized to him

 

[Sleeplessnights]

On one hand I can see why RBR would want to replace Webbsy for a young driver but he needs to finish on an equal position or a bit below Vettel to keep him.

I still wish he got the 2010 title though, I'd have been over the moon!

Should just ban him for a very long time.

 

[Leunam]

I agree, but if he continues to improve and even returns to form then it may be worth keeping him around.

 

[ReadingRambo]

With the way Massa is driving Ferrari are the favorites for the Constructor's. Y'all cray.

Watch him out-qualify Alonso this weekend again.

I never really thought he had a problem with that pre-accident.

 

[Chris R]

Didn't want to stay up for practice so I turned it on this morning while getting ready for work and almost spat out my breakfast when I heard Bob Varsha's golden tubes emanating from my speakers.

Cool that he will sit in when needed.

 

[DrM]

yikes, so i have to made predictions even before FP3. We are leaving at 5:45 am for Planica (probably very low chance for good mobile net signal over there) so this one will be tough, with rain factor and all stuff.

Weather for Sunday is still monsoon showers?

 

[Foshy]

My predictions are ready, doing my best to defend that 1st place. Go, Prupose Racing!

 

[paskowitz]

It is going to be really interesting to see if Lotus can keep up development with Ferrari and RBR. If they can I see no reason why Kimi can't win the title.

Predictions for this weekend:

1. Vettel
2. Kimi
3. Alonso
4. Rosberg
5. Massa
6. Sutil
7. Grosjean
8. Webber
9. Hamilton
10. Button

 

[Chris R]

Also, kinda funny to see FI in front of the McL's in both sessions...

 

[ramparter]

Massa going 2008 again? Remember when everyone was like "How can he outpace Raikkonen, wtf?".

 

[Ark]

I have to agree with RBR on the tyres. It's boring seeing Pirelli manufacture 'excitement'.

It's not exciting watching the drivers worry significantly more about conserving the tyres than driving as quickly as they can.

 

[Flo_Evans]

Massa going 2008 again? Remember when everyone was like "How can he outpace Raikkonen, wtf?".

Massa has always been quick. His problem is consistency. He would make too many mistakes.

I much prefer the aggressive Massa though to his timid comeback.

 

[AcridMeat]

Awesome Kimi Raikonnen picture.

Excellent shot, so menacing.

Especially while listening to this.

 

[Psychotext]

Sooo.... who to use for F1 tickets? Last time I used Book F1, and they've got what I need but they're a little more expensive than others I've seen. Anyone have any other recommendations?

 

[Manik]

The missus and I have both jumped in to the GP Predictor and the NeoGaf league, which we didn't do last season, so should be fun. Missed the first race though, so we're starting from a disadvantage already - still, it's always fun to take part!

Hoping for an Alonso victory this weekend, which should suit us both nicely.

Some interesting tables from reddit. An all time points table (using current points system)

And a point per race ranking

Schumachers comeback moved him from 14.8 per race to 12.7.

[Psychotext]

Coulthard much higher than I would have expected on that first table. Easy to see how much of an advantage not having to spend time at the back of the pack has helped Hamilton be really high on the tables too.

 

[Dilly]

Just noticed these ads from another thread on GAF. However, this one was among them:

I'd also be very interested to know this. Do people not usually order them through the F1.com site?

 

[cmr-94]

Unless Hulk knows that Sauber puts him in a better position for a future step up, I wonder how he's feeling atm.....Force India look impressive early on this season. They also have generally good development over the season

Let the hate flow through you.

Love those.

I just noticed Jackie Stewart and Sebastian Vettel are pretty much at the exact same statistical point right now. Almost the same number of starts, fast laps, wins, and championships. Similar equalized points, and podiums too. The difference being Jackie hadn't even driven a GP machine at Sebastian's age.

Didn't want to stay up for practice so I turned it on this morning while getting ready for work and almost spat out my breakfast when I heard Bob Varsha's golden tubes emanating from my speakers.

Oh wow, nice. I had no idea that was ever in the cards. Good for him.

Their ticket broker is generally pretty overpriced. Advantage of being linked through the official site I guess.

Let the hate flow through you.

It's just so easy.

I'm going to try to have a sleep, see everyone for qualy.

Massa below the McL's? I hope so but I don't see it happening. I have the a similar podium and SUT as most gained, he looked like he was effectively channeling the dolphin in Melbourne.

Mostly wishful thinking for Button to do well.

[Wes]

Cripes. Almost forgot to make my prediction.

 

[Shaneus]

Pretty sure I'm going to change it, though. For the sake of predictions, I should probably swap Webber and Vettel... but I'm thinking with my heart and not my head :/

 

[kharma45]

I'm going for this tomorrow, although Vettel may well not win but hey, hard to go too far wrong by guessing him

 

[Shaneus]

If you have Di Resta with the most positions gained but you don't have him finishing in the top 10, where do you think he'll be qualifying?

Thinking Rosberg is getting pole is more worrisome.
