This is Carmen Jorda... she is Lotus' newest "development driver"...

From what I've read... she's not very fast.

I'll just leave it at that.

^WOOD NOT PULL OUT :evil:

Anyways Formula E is gonna have a race here in the streets of downtown. It's like 2 weeks away and I'm thinking of going.

Sinner · Feb 27, 2015

^ Dude, go check it out... the racing has been pretty good...

Sinner · Feb 27, 2015

That's really harsh.

Sinner · Feb 28, 2015

It is... I can see it from both sides. If any racing driver got the opportunity that she's been given, all of them would take it in a heartbeat, no doubt. At the same time, none of her results have shown that she got this role based on merit, which, understandably, is upsetting a lot of fans and drivers. I don't think anyone blames her, specifically. It's just a $$$ move by Lotus, which makes the sport a joke. The criticism is tough on her, but she has to take this opportunity and make the most of it.

To be fair, Lotus did say it was a brake failure! Poor guy... never given the benefit of a doubt...

Meanwhile... what a way to start off your 2nd McLaren stint.

Alonso's crash was really weird.

I hate the lack of info we got .

A real shame for him to miss the start of the season.

Don't keep up with F1 much but came across this recently. The sounds this thing produces :wow:

Sinner · Mar 5, 2015

The McLaren definitely does have a different engine note... raspier, deeper... they're not a full-power too, so it may sound different at Melbourne.

Also...

Welp. This'll take some time.

D Double · Mar 14, 2015

Lewis laying the smackdown already :pimp:

Mclaren 6 seconds off the pace. Not like this :smh:

Sinner · Mar 14, 2015

To be expected, really, if you've been following testing. They didn't get the mileage and had too many issues. Couldn't even do proper aero setups.

Honda added that (with only 4 engines this year), they opted to turn the power way down to improve reliability.

Just gotta fight through these tough times.

D Double · Mar 14, 2015

Yea, at least Magnussen was impressed with the feel of the car.

Mclaren being up there would definitely have made the fight more interesting.

Is this channel official?

Sinner · Mar 14, 2015

^ Yes, it is! F1 is finally doing more online stuff via Youtube and Twitter...

Ferrari looked good :pimp:

Im hoping for a competitive season.

So far its looking like who's going to finish 3rd in the championship :lol:

Sinner · Mar 14, 2015

Merc are so far ahead, it's ridiculous. Fight for 3rd looks like it'll be between Ferrari and Williams. RBR if they can get their engines in order, but doubtful.
