F1 MERCENARY

Not painting anything in any sort of way. Just laid out the reality that although Alonso is a special driver, he's no deity or demigod and Massa's efforts were at times compromised to make Alonso's life easier. These being the facts, it's kind of wrong to dump on Massa. Every season it was asked wh...

I think he should go to Williams! A legendary driver with a legendary team would be a perfect setup till he retires. Williams today is FAR from the Williams of F1 lore. Claire seems to be doing an excellent job propelling them back towards that, but they have a was to go to reach that peek again. A...

Looks like a renault. I think it is a shop job from a poster on another forum.

I see it now.

It's no longer a wheel. LOL

I am not a neurologist or an expert on brain / head trauma, but in Jules' case, this wouldn't have saved him? His brain suffered because of sharp deceleration, not because his head was exposed. Also, what will happen with this thing in Jules' situation? Would it crack or shatter, or cause more harm...

This is so bad, but it could be developed to be less.......bad, dont know if it could stop being bad tho lol What about airbags calibrated for high G impacts that deploy around head and shoulders, installed around driver?? The removable cockpit panels are fitted with impact absorbing foam that diss...

While bodywork is designed to shatter, sometimes, as was the case with Justin Wilson it doesn't do as intended and enough of it can remain in tact and become a time bomb so to speak. I honestly don't have a problem with a clear canopy so long as the current openness and aesthetics of the cockpit rem...

So, Ferrari are the first to trial the proposed Halo today. It's now so I'm sure it would undergo several evolutions until an almost perfect final product is developed by one of the teams that would become the benchmark. I realize it's raw and unfinished, but it looks awfully clumsy cumbersome and a...

This is 2016. The masses are vastly more aware and informed and are far less likely to adhere to subliminal suggestions. The 'masses' have been brainwashed into buying a new smartphone twice a year so they can stay connected to a vast soul-suck known as social media. I'm not convinced they're as ab...

Just a technical point here guys, but last I heard, Philip Morris still dictate the logo and livery of Ferrari, as well as the MotoGP Ducatis. Look at their respective team logos, the logo of Marlboro is still very much there. As it is on the 2016 Ferrari from the right angle. All the ban has done ...

I've watched as, in stages, the smokers among my contemporaries have gone from the norm to the unusual to the derided to the near ostracised. The same thing is happening with drinking, it's just a couple of steps behind. I'll be off to the pub for lunch in a minute. Ten years ago half of my colleag...

It won't be any less dangerous because the cars are usually 4+ abreast going into several of the first corners on many tracks anyway? Let's analyze your statement thoroughly… If with the current procedure we end up with 4 abreast on a piece of real estate that cannot accommodate more than 2 comfort...

Perhaps driving almost 200 laps a day isn't a walk in the park after all.. pffieuuww..

The nose has a smoother downslope than last year's car and is a bit longer, a bit in between the C34 & C34B-Spec. The endplates also feature longer bits to channel air over and around the tires. The side pods have been changed where the recess on the lower front outer edge is shallower and the botto...

I'm still no wiser as to why tobacco (or drinks companies for that matter) sponsor motorsport. I'm in advertising/ marketing and design and I've studied the matter. The reason they still invest advertising dollars into major sporting events, series and individual athletes is because once upon a tim...

I wouldn't say that because the fact is Prost was more calculating than Senna whereas Senna was all out to the front all the time, almost at all cost and in the end, come Sundays they were pretty equal because each drivers approach worked equally well for them. The disparity between them in Qualy ce...

Everyone is going to have a different opinion on it. Every format has its pros and cons. The most recent format probably had the least amount of cons but it didn't excite me in the least. Personally I'd prefer a qualifying race of sorts but that level of change is beyond many fans That's a major co...

Just absorbing it all in a little corner, wondering how it's possible doing 170 laps in one day is apparently physically not over-demanding. :-( Or am I simply overestimating the strength/stamina that is needed for driving at test speeds? just as with any activity, do it long enough and you build u...

Force India looks hugely impressive. It's early days of course, but if they can keep this up they can challenge for more than fifth place! Possibly have overtaken Williams. They are such a good team. Impress me every year. How so? I like them as well, but the always seem to start off well, improve ...

Well the front page here says it's officially been voted in and could be implemented as early as 3.5 weeks from today.

It doesn't sound all that bad, however, I think the current Knockout system is excellent and doesn't need revision.

The first thing that sticks out at me is that LMP1 programs are not more expensive than F1 programs. Only one that we know of "is said to be" on par with that of F1 budgets and that's Audi sitting at $242 Million, but as far as I know that figure is unconfirmed. If true however, small wonder why the...

McLaren is still essentially "zero size". If Honda still tries to optimistically purse very compact layout, no wonder others doesn't share the optimism. Honda is known for having great ideas that don't work in practice. Maybe they want someone who is more down to earth to lead their F1 project than...

So HAAS apparently had a wing failure yesterday. Looks like a clean disconnection between the upper & lower element. Should be a fairly straight forward fix for this. http://cdn-9.motorsport.com/images/amp/YEE3BzwY/s6/f1-barcelona-february-testing-2016-the-haas-vf-16-of-romain-grosjean-haas-f1-team-...

The tradition of teams running their primary country colors was excellent and though several teams from single country would compete, the hues/shades of that color would vary slightly, and coupled with the distinguishable shapes of their individual cars you were able to tell who was who.

I'm a professional graphic designer for almost 25 years and there is a right way to evolve logos/brands without changing their essence air branding and if and when executed properly, the changes will hardly register until you go back several versions in the evolution.

There is so much opportunity to produce something much better but I guess simpler is cheaper and thus we have another lackluster design for their part scheme.

Looka like a kid has gone wild with the paint box. Does not know when to stop. WAY over painted, all that yellow is gash. Disagree. It's Red Bull Branding front to back. What I feel hurts it is the large TOTAL sponsor blocks of red which would otherwise allow for more of the navy blue. That would m...

Well it looks ok. I wonder why they opted for black and not blue, I mean that way they would have had all colours of the USA flag. The colors HAAS went with are pretty much his corporate branding colors. The HAAS logo itself isn't very pretty to my eyes. Quite period desk and dated/clumsy in design...

Short nose not too disimilar to the rest. The end plates on the front wing look very chunky and there are a lot of vertical plates. Any arero minded people care to shed light on what so much vertical stuff achieves there? Vertical components accomplish 2 things. First, channel air to specific areas...

I like the new livery, but in terms of design it looks as bad and as undeveloped as last year's one. Surely they will still be last even with the Merc engine. Livery? I cannot categorize that as such. Lack Luster and has zero character. With such a poor looking car you'd think they'd at the very le...

We already have Spec Formula Series. Have for a very long time now. Currently it's called GP2 and is a tool that exists to weed out the best talent for F1 and in rare cases to maintain and further hone a driver's skill set as with Grosjean. F1 was born out of the human need for competition to see wh...
