Formula 1 2015 OT: Waiting for Sauber to announce their drivers.
9PM here, and on a Saturday, meaning I can get nice and drunk if I want
I would like it best if it was at 2 am, so I could go in front of TV straight after Saturday night drinking spree
We have a winner, this is our title.
It won't be up until Friday afternoon. I realise that's pretty late for Australia, but I'm twenty hours in the past
Adam Cooper is tweeting from the appeal if anyone cares.

I wonder how Sauber is going to try and squeeze their way out of this one.
I can't wait for the season to start, I've been lurking this thread waiting for this moment. 12.55 AM start for me, but it will be well worth it.

He qualifies, team just has to request one for him is all.
From his twitter feed and very second hand information, my conclusion is the Saubers' lawyers are shit.
Adam Cooper said:
I'm not expecting Sauber to comply at all with providing the super license or a fitted seat. Or fuel.
If it's just a fine then they'll probably take the hit. More interesting is if there are arrests and seizures/closures to prevent any racing at all. In which case everybody loses!

So the car/s get impounded and no one drives at Melbourne?
And the few sponsors they have are gonna be fine with them purposely driving only one car instead of two? I find that unlikely tbh.
According to https://twitter.com/adamcooperF1/ tweets, judges are really giving no fuck for lame Sauber claims.

Who knew this joke would make come back. This is amazing.
Apparently it's come to light that Giedo neglected to renew his superlicense over the winter for 2015, a process that normally takes 14 days. The FIA will fast-track this up to 48 hours before a Grand Prix under abnormal circumstances such as this, effectively giving VDG/Sauber 2 days to sort this out.
The team may well not even start the race at this rate.

From what was being said earlier, it would have been the team that normally sorted that out.
Have audio from the pit walk when McLaren fired up their Honda, as well as from the Mercedes garage. Might be useful for a direct comparison given I was standing the same distance away from both (and using the same device, that being my iPhone :/).
Interesting to note that it was Hamilton himself feeling his way around the Merc, which is a very rare sight on pit walks, to see drivers. He's keeping his #44, too. But that was probably known already.
Also, the Honda was WAY louder and IMO sounded a shitload better, too.
Is there any interest in me uploading the audio I recorded?
And non-engine related: the Williams livery is actually matte, with only the red/blue stripes being gloss. It's a fucking great look in person, I wonder if there's any practical reason for it?

I can get drunk at 6am. You can't stop me.
They managed to fire up the Honda? Progress is made!
This is all on Kaltenborn.
He paid north of $10m of other people's money for a seat and had a valid contract.
You don't just write that shit off.
FTFY.
Oh absolutely, it's just that he he took the moral high ground from the start and based the whole trial on that he "just wanted to drive" when surely his billion dollar lawyer told him from the start that the team would go under if he won the case.
But it doesn't matter now. He will get the cash that he is owed when the team assets are sold off.
F1 |OT| 10 teams, no 9 teams, 8 teams? start the season.
