The 2024 Formula 1 Thread

Going to be the Max show again.

Whinger Spice hasn't been seen much today, I reckon he's on the phone to Geri trying to stop her calling the lawyers.

[Edmond]

I keep forgetting you "watched F1 at Goodwood".

I sure did, my old boss drove his vintage Gille Villeneuve Ferrari 312T4 there, and I was lucky enough to have been taken there by him.

Nice!

I'm a bit of a Ferrari nerd, and West Sussex is a lovely part of England.

Was that in 2015?

Was that in 2015?

Early 2000s when I worked for him. Here is a video showing some of his car collection. Forward to 16:09 to see the car. I actually got the driver wrong, it was the Niki Lauda car, but both drivers drove the 312t, so it is an easy mistake.

I bet snubby was a right fucking brown noser.

No need for that. A big reason I got to work for him was my knowledge of vintage race cars and F1 from his favorite era. It was a fun job and I got to travel to attend Goodwood, Pebble beach concours, Laguna Seca historic races, and F1 at Indianapolis motor speedway, (Shumie won for Ferrari. ), and a ton of local events. It was a good time, but it was a long time ago as I left the company to go into the tech world.

It was a fun job

Certainly sounds fun to me.

Is there no limits to what you can dream up in your basement ?

Was it before or after your 7 years in the EU and your internship on Krypton ?

[helge]

Another zzzzzzzzzzzzz race.

Verstappen in a class of his own.

Louise came in 7th just 50 secs after the winner

[Norton]

Yep and it is likely Verstappen will break many records by this season's end.

Can you escape being a resentful loser for just ten minutes? Thanks for the red, returned with vengeance you vatnik clownboy scum.

Should be an interesting season.

Someone is stirring the pot?

Ford might have something to say about it, but at the end of the day, money talks! Sad but true.

Meanwhile, in the real world, RB show off a bit carrying softs for the last stint so they can get fastest lap too.

Leclerc and Russell trying too hard, and making unforced errors.

Red Bull rubbing everyone’s nose in it.

Audi takes over fully current Formula 1 team





Audi will fully take over the current Sauber team from 2026. This is what Formula 1 writes on its website.

Originally, the plan was for Audi to enter into a partnership with Sauber, but those plans have now changed.

Andreas Seidl, team principal at Sauber, will also be part of the new Audi team from 2026.

"I look forward to bringing Audi into Formula 1 together with a very motivated team," Seidl said.

"We have ambitious goals. We are in the process of realizing them, and they will be accelerated further when Audi takes over fully.

Oliver Hofmann, head of Audi's technical department, will take up a new position that makes him responsible for bringing Audi into the Formula 1 field. At the same time, he will become chairman of the board of directors of the Sauber company.

Audi has never been part of Formula 1 before.

[helge]

A brit called Oliver Bearman is driving Ferrari today.

Edit:

He came in 7th

Not bad for a debutant.

2 places in front of Louise.

Guess who won

[Norton]

Guess who won

Verstappen, again...

[harrybarracuda]

Japan this week.

[harrybarracuda]

Well a red flag on Lap 1 made it momentarily exciting.

[harrybarracuda]

I really think with that number of trucks on the track they could do a little race to pass the time.

[bsnub]

The flag waiving poser has not updated his thread since Hamilton got thrashed again. That said, I wanted to post a video documenting an F1 legend, Jody Scheckter, who has one of the most amazing collections of his former race cars. He is placing them up for auction, this is the side of being an enthusiast that the flag waver does not understand. A passion for automobiles he does not have.

[harrybarracuda]

Oh look, snubby's drunk and posting shit again.

How about them Haas boys snubby? When was it they were going to break into the top six again?

[Backspin]

The 2026 new engine formula is a total fucking abomination. Red Bull tried to warn about this. But everyone just ignored it. F1 needs to stop fucking allowing big auto and these corporate virtue signalling queers to dictate anything. Audi demanded 50% electric because it sounds gay and green or something.They will be the first ones to pull out when they get obliterated by Mercedes.

The whole series risks spitting up because of this gay and green agenda.
