I predict that one car will DNF and the other will slow down to collect as much data as possible, finishing just in front of the Saubers.

Remmirath

Now definitely in as a team, Crash & Learn is pleased to announce TheDamus as their second driver.

Remmirath

I'm not particularly fond of it (which is likely mostly because I dislike pink), but at least it does stand out. I suppose if they already knew this was in the works that may be why the livery they ran under during testing seemed a bit hastily tossed together -- they expected not to keep it.

Remmirath

I think that sounds like an entirely reasonable way to deal with the scoring, provided that you're willing to deal with keeping track of it all. It is somewhat complicated, and you'll certainly need to post the current values of the drivers and teams after each race so that people can make the decis...

What is surprising is how long they were underpowered. I mean, those should be bread and butter engines for Honda, but they managed to be off the mark for so long and let Chevy dominate them. True. It at once offers a glimmer of hope that they may develop a competetive F1 engine in the future and i...

Remmirath

Not a bad race, but the mass brake trouble certainly threw a bit of a monkey wrench in things. I don't follow Indy Car closely enough to know exactly what was up with the brake change or why it was made, but so far it doesn't seem to be going that well for most teams. It was interesting for the winn...

Remmirath

My selections, which I will hopefully not come to regret quite as much as I did last season's, despite taking only one or two less risks on some areas (albeit more risks in others)! At least in theory this year I can do something about if I can see I'm crashing and burning. :-P Drivers group 1 : Kim...

Remmirath

I'm not somebody with a particular fondness for the volume of engines, but I do think there's something to be said for the unearthly scream. The video posted is an interesting juxtapostition with the new car and the old engine sound. Mostly I think the newer engines sound better with more texture, b...

Remmirath

Crash & Learn is searching for a new second driver. Due to this being only the team's second season in the sport, the only requirement is being present for as many races as possible. Ability to score consistent points a plus.

Team name going forward negotiable.

Remmirath

This is easier for me with picking a single driver than it would be picking a top three, actually; Kimi is the clear favourite, but the runners-up are fairly numerous and there isn't any real clear order beyond number one. Ricciardo, Pérez, and Alonso would probably be the next three, although Sainz...

Remmirath

I'm in for sure -- eager to see if I can better my rookie result last season! :thumbup: Negotiations for the full return of Crash & Learn are still in progress, but unless TypingChicane has decided to seek more competetive pastures, the team is expected to make a comeback with their sights on the to...

Remmirath

My opinion could change once we've seen them all racing around, but for now, I'd say probably:

Sauber
McLaren
Renault
Red Bull
Toro Rosso
Haas
Ferrari
Mercedes
Williams
Force India

Remmirath

I wouldn't say that this is my favourite livery, but I do like it -- and it's nice to see Toro Rosso with livery that's very distinct from Red Bull this year. It's a striking blue, and the silver bits work really well with it. On a less livery-oriented note, those sidepods look rather different from...

Remmirath

I didn't like the livery initially, but it's grown on me. I'm going with the best option at this point, if for no other reason than the unusual treatment on the shark fin -- I really like that. The grey of the car might be a bit dull, and it may blend in a bit too much on track, but I like the red a...

Remmirath

I like the livery, and the "unlucky for some" sign is pretty good. I strongly suspect that this isn't what the car is actually going to look like come testing, so that makes it more difficult to speculate on the rest of it, but the nose that's on right now is certainly different from the others. Eve...

Remmirath

Definitely in again! This bonus system seems a lot more likely to come up than last year's.

Remmirath

Personally I think it looks quite nice overall. It's a nice shade of blue, and I much prefer the gold to the previous yellow. The change between the gold and blue on the front wing is a little odd, and the white spaces do look quite blank at the moment (I'm assuming that's where the sponsors will ho...

Remmirath

I'm glad to see that there are some unique aspects to it -- and hopefully they will be unique in a good way. The sidepod design may take some getting used to, but I don't find it ugly, rather unusual. I'm also curious whether the shark fin and the tail are going to both stay on the car or whether th...

Remmirath

I think it looks rather nice, really -- the lines of the car are good, and I happen to like the livery (and to me, the orange and black looks much better than orange and white would). The nose detail is interesting, too; rather different from the noses of the other cars revealed so far.

Remmirath

I quite like the design of the livery, even though I'm never wild about the yellow -- it's got a fairly aggressive look, and that's all to the good. As far as the car itself goes, there are some obvious differences between it and those revealed later, so that could be a good sign (or a bad sign). It...

Remmirath

It certainly looks fast, and apparently Mercedes have come up with some interesting aerodynamic solutions towards the back end of the car. I'll also be interested to see whether they switch to a shark fin in the end or not. Overall, I'm also liking how the 2017 cars in general are looking; to me, th...

Remmirath

It may not be winning many beauty contests, but the question is how fast it will be and whether Force India have found any clever solutions that other teams haven't. There are some noticable differences about the car, so that could be either good or bad at this point; for now, regardless of how it l...

Remmirath

I'm not sure how much of an effect the new regulations will have on DRS or whether that will have a positive effect on the racing, but I do think that there's a good chance that the new regulations as a whole will have a positive effect -- although if so, I expect it to come mostly from the tyres. I...

Remmirath

Whether this specific article is still a rumour or not, I expect that this is going to happen at some point, and it'll probably get messy when it does. Hopefully not too messy. Essentially the sport's revenue distribution policy needs to be gutted along with a total overhaul of the sport's accessibi...

Remmirath

I agree that Damon Hill generally ends up being underrated. I wouldn't go so far as to put him at #11 -- I think it would be difficult to justify his position quite that high up -- but I could see a top 25 or certainly top 30 placement, and that's no mean feat of itself. As others have said, there w...

Remmirath

Kimi's is my favourite, as it often ends up being; to me, it's the best combination of an interesting design, good bold colours, being easily recognisable, and not being too cluttered. After that this season comes a tie between Wehrlein and Ocon, since I consider both their designs to be bold yet ta...

Remmirath

I'd prefer no budget cap at all. I don't believe it will fix any of the actual problems, and I do believe that it will be likely to create the same sorts of problems -- or at least what I see as problems, as this is a matter of opinion -- that can be seen in many US sports. For a sport with technolo...

Remmirath

I hope this doesn't happen. My concern is that a budget cap would result in less technological innovation and less open development, and my feeling is that rather the opposite is what is needed. On top of that it is unlikely to even be effective, particularly considering how difficult it would be t...

I don't feel there is enough information available to properly rate Vandoorne compared to the others on the grid this year, so I've left him out of it. 1. Daniel Ricciardo : Very consistent, no major mistakes, and probably should have won a couple more races than he did. 2. Fernando Alonso : Difficu...

Remmirath

I find it hard to argue with Mercedes being the best team. There really wasn't an area in which they weren't the best, save possibly for best improvement over the year; they remained well ahead of everyone else for the entire season, and came very close to never actually losing a race. Red Bull I wo...

Remmirath

I don't expect them to do particularly well next year. Aero seems to have been one of their weaknesses of late, so -- unless they've come up with something much better for next year, which can't be completely ruled out -- the new regulations will probably not be doing them any favors. I won't be at ...

Remmirath

This sounds like it's a fairly sure thing at this point, although I guess that still remains to be seen. Still, assuming that it is true, I think it's great news. :thumbup: The French Grand Prix is one that really ought to be there, I feel, and Paul Ricard's (whatever exact configuration they end up...

Remmirath

Well played, and congratulations to Jenson's Understeer!

Interesting statistics for the end result. Apparently next season I really need to work on guessing the race underperformer and first man out... although I'm guessing if anything things will be more unpredictable next season!

Remmirath

I didn't do as well as I was hoping at one point in the season, but I'm still quite pleased with twenty-second in my first year, and look forward to attempting to better it next year. Congratulations to Covalent, Typing Chicane, Exediron, and everybody else who finished in the top twenty-four or got...

I was tempted to go for more of a gamble or go against the tide here, but this feels like the safer way to go.

Remmirath

They look great, and it would certainly make it easy to recognise which car was which at a glance; it would be really cool if the teams did something like this, but I don't expect it will ever happen. I especially like the designs for Kimi and Magnussen's helmets, but Vettel and Hamilton are pretty ...

Remmirath

Well, barring a large amount of unforeseen good luck for me (terrible luck if you're pretty much anyone else), it looks like I'm going to be dead last this season. But that's okay, because we switched over to developing next year's car halfway through the season, and expect to be much more competiti...
