What a disaster race

 

[Sharpshoeter13]

Damn. Good thing Max recovered from that cleanly.

LFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

P4/5!!!!!!! More than what I could ever ask for... and no points for Alpine!

These races man… too damn early. I totally forgot about it being in Singapore with a massive time difference but I still managed to tune-in in the middle of the race lol:

 

[Sharpshoeter13]

I’ll take that dub.

Not sure if that SC penalty would net Ferrari a P1 but that seems like a reach.

 

[zeroregret]

Pretty chaotic race. So many safety cars. Wonder if Checo will get a penalty.

Hopefully the FIA keeps this same energy when the cost cap violations by Aston Martin and Red Bull are uncovered.

 

[chippedtoothsmile]

All for a damn nose ring lol. BTW, do any other driver have said nose piercing?

 

[DeadsetAce]

F1 really on one

just come out and say drivers need to be white yuppies already. jeez

 

[the natural mystic]

They let drivers drive with their wedding rings but get pissy about a nose stud. Clowns at the FIA.

Maybe next time, Lewis should use a wedding ring as a nose stud. Problem solved.

I was watching the Singapore GP with a few friends last weekend and we got to talking about what our favorite F1 car of all time was.

I didn't start watching F1 until about 2001 and didn't become a die hard until later but have managed to watch just about every race from 1984 to present.

For me it's a tie between the Benetton B186 and the Mercedes W11. Honorable mention to the McLaren MP4/4 and Ligier JS33.

What's everyone's all time favorite(s)?

What's everyone's all time favorite(s)?

Ferrari F2004

 

[Sharpshoeter13]

1999-2005 Ferrari (obvious reasons lmao)

9/11 tribute ‘Rari (Italian GP. All of the cars had their own special tributes)

R25 Renault

Team Jordan’s Benson & Hedges (Buzzin Hornets livery)

McLaren Merc (with the driver’s names)

Aaand of course, ‘08 Mclaren/Merc

 

[Sharpshoeter13]

Someone did a rendering of a Jordan livery to today’s F1 standards

 

[sneeker]

the MP4 will always have a special place in my heart thanks to Senna. on the otherhand, love the design of the first Brawn GP.

Not my favorite car more so favorite livery. Daft punk

^ At first, I was like "very bold of you to choose the step-nose"

So are we talking about favorite car/chassis or fav livery? I have a few fav liveries that are on absolute $#!* cars.
I'll go with fav-car/chassis for starters.
Obvs with a McLaren-bias here, of course.

MP4/4 cuz of it's legendary status.

Though I have to say, I like the shape of the MP4/5B a bit more cuz of the shape... a bit more sleek and aerodynamic.

MP4/14

MP4/20 - very fast, but very unreliable.

And our last WDC car... the MP4/23... where the aero just went bananas.

That Brawn car was sick! Loved the minimalist look... Would have liked to have seen Rubens win more in that car instead of Jenson but still.

Sinner Livery or car whichever you guys felt like talking about.

Rest of the field hated that Brawn but for good reason considering it had a great aero design. Same, Barichello fan here. I have always felt he could do more and beat Jenson but saw it could have been the same Schumi-Rubens arrangement where Rubenz act as a replacement driver/winner if the top driver gets taken out of the race. Either that reason or he never recovered from that crash early in his career.

The W11 defies nature’s laws



Look how he slices through the chicanes at spa

They had to hamper it with new regulations otherwise 2021 wouldn’t have been close.
