no barely anyone has them
you can rent them for cheap I think but barely anyone has them
Rosenqvist is so good
They have some pretty cool aquariums at most Bass Pro Shops shad
is newgarden still winning the championship as it is?
At the moment he is still winning it, but if Pagenaud can make progress and Newgarden loses one or two he's fucked
I dont care who wins tbh
Things are getting interesting
Do they pit around every 30 laps?
Oof, Newgarden just about didn't make the pit entry
first get 100points, second get 80, 3rd gets 70
they are
A normal win is 50 points yes
imagine if f1 did double points
they did one year
reminder that Williams has scored the most points of any team with 66 in 2014
Indeed
and everyone went mad
It was dumb
HAM MAS BOT the result
it was ages ago
was it 2009 or something?
2014
2017
oh 2014
i mean double points
imagine going from podium to backmarkers in 2 years
imagine if williams dominates everything next year
oh Dixon did it
Herta's strat just got blown
i thought Pagenaud was in front
I thought so too
newgarden now 11th
Dixon beat him in the pits
nevermind he pitted he's not actually 11th
rip
i should go to bed really
this early
Rahal made it past Santino, nice
santiNO FUCKrucci
Power holding up Dixon was a big help for Herta after his in lap got screwed up
Rosenqvist might take Pagenaud
ho wait no
didn't see the time gap
hey I know this song
Rosenqvist would be winning this if his qualifying times hadn't been deleted
we can make your hand clap
Fitz and the Tantrums self-titled album available now: http://smarturl.it/fitzandthetantrums Stream on Spotify: http://smarturl.it/streamFATT Store: http://s...
Tim Cindric is so calm and collected for an American...
who?
His son is pretty impressive behind the wheel too
Newgarden's other end of the radio
He's also Penske team president
ok my internet is back
SC
Felix is so fast
Felix caught up 4 secs yes
daly has a sick livery
Paul Tracy pandering conspiracies, typical
I can't believe how much weight PT has gained since his racing days, TBH
wasn't he a fat guy already
fat cunt
that's what i remember from his Wikipedia page
just like vettel
who
Paul Tracy
He wasn't tiny, but he wasn't fat like he is now
he seems to really like his wife
this channel keeps using songs from my playlist wtf
He's always been a douche though...
paul used to be very fit & stocky back in like early 00s
yeah they use yellows to throw ads
all paul tracy does is post racing related images on his instagram and his wifes tits
why is there music
has his wife got nice jugs at least
It's Roberte Wickainse
Big hit
ooooo ferrucci
spoilers aaaa
jeez whats happening
People avoiding the carnage of Santino being a fool
went full rallycross over there
And they have to spin this positively for golden boy, but of course
i swear they've been like conditioned to praise him
he can do no wrong in nbc's eyes lmao
yes because hes american
jesus christ why the fuck are they praising him hes a fucking idiot
aren't americans all idiots anyways
or is this not for ferrucci
Thanks shad
no most americans are great
Ferucci's father bought him a race track
but the ones that are fucking annoying are the ones you hear the most about
but thats with everything
I agree with shad way more than Niek on my fellow countrymen, no lies
Who's winning the championship as it is?
Dixon?
Oh newgarden according to the commentator
Nah, Dixon needs a miracle to win
no still Newgarden by a few points
Newgarden has to finish outside 22nd or so
20 points they said
oh
oh lmfao
I also enjoy that all our truck ads are off roading and huge trailer towing, while probably 95% of trucks here are city parking lot prowlers...
contact!
Oof, that was unnecessary contact for sure
all contact is unnecessary
Veach has damage I think 😦
didn't see it
doesnt look like it
Bruh, this is 'Murrica I already told you that rubbing is racing
Zach's a pretty talented young lad
no further action between pigot and veach
Glad to see both Felix and Ericsson doing well in this race
Herta has had a few stand out performances this year
what was that dust
but lots of irregularity
did someone go onto the gravel?
Power touched the sand
ah
1/3 of the top 6 are swedish
muhhh rookies are supposed to make a lot of mistakes but you only made one
shut the fuck up holy shit
So, everyone talks about Stroll being a spoiled driver. Just so everyone knows, Santino's dad bought him a racetrack
holy shit how much can they idolize him and make him look good
i told you they absolutely love love love ferrucci
at least stroll is good and doesnt use his phone while driving
and isnt racist towards his teammate
or like, crash intentionally in to his team mate
oh yeah forgot that one
Indeed
but americans dont care
But yeah, his dad bought him his way through everything
what track did his dad buy for him
his reward for that was a indycar seat smdh
Oakland Valley Race Park nearest track to their home
Truth
isnt that just a karting track
but europe team won't take drivers that will make them look bad
thats just not true t
Yes, it was while he was a kid karting
unless... cough van amersoft cough
hello have you meet dan ticktum ?
still cant believe they signed dick tantrum
Shame we'll never get to see Ferrucci and Ticktum racing
oh boi
That's too much ego for one track to handle
Yes
cota was a fun race
imagine winning the 2nd race of the season in your rookie year
yea it was mad
oof
LMAO
i saw that too
never forget stoffel vandoorne doing fortnite dances
WHAT
yeah no joke
When/where/why
i cant find it anymore
but it was like for formula e this year
so probably around december
I love how everyone calls them Fortnite dances as if they didn't exist before and Fortnite invented them
herta and dixon boxing
literally nothhing comes up when you google stoffel vandoorne fortnite dance
Simon going for the ballsy play
i'm kinda disappointed, stoffel seems like such a quiet and reserved guy
It's just dancing man you're making a tsunami out of a glass of water
jack harvey is criminally underrated
Yeah, he's a pretty good driver
is he the guy with the red car
Pink
got a podium this year and was looking at another one before rhr had something to say at portland
this is going to be good
its the black and gold car but pink instead of gold
scott mega overtake
Wow
wow pagenaud mad
He basically just has to play it safe 🤷
lmfao
lol
ooo this might get close
I'll allow it
How does P2P work? Do you have X amount of seconds per lap?
no
You got an amount per race
free use
oh wow
wait no I think there is a limit like no more that 10s each use
In some races you'll see people basically burn up their allotment about half way through the race and regret it in the 2nd half
lol
Yeah, I think there is a time max per use, but I don't remember what it is
Do the green lights on the wheel mean P2P is enabled?
oh great they are back with scenery shots
show the damn action on the circuit
Hunter-Reay just did a good pass too
That was dope through the corkscrew
yeah
oh rosenqvist took Pagenaud
Indeed
Probably not
Those P2P numbers, wow...
Newgarden and Rossi strategically saved a bit of P2P, interesting
Interesting to see how some are clearly saving it for a potential SC and others have burned it all up in other fights already
Even some drivers known for saving it
Pagenaud having the ride of his life
Unfortunately Dixon is holding him up
can Pagenaud grab the title if he gets second ?
Depends on if Newgarden drops back
so not yet
so maybe maybe
In current standings he has to win
imagine if newgarden gets taken out now
because he's never catching herta
newgarden p8
oooo
if newgarden finishes 10th pagenaud will probably win
Newgarden didn't try to defend at all
no hes not taking the risk
He doesn't need to
It's a shame he isn't even remotely racing though
10th would be 40 points
Protect your championship mate
Numbers, how do they work
championship is more important than securing a good position on track
i dont think he can
what the fuck happened to Ericsson
No fastest lap points in IndyCar
he was just behind rosequvist a few laps ago
I think he pitted quite a bit earlier, he's probably having to save fuel and may be out of tyres
7 kilometers left
This is 'Murrica, we use freedom units
sorry i dont speak farenheit per inch
freedom units lmao
Pagenaud needs DRS lol
yeah he could use some
is seconds a freedom unit ?
Yes
Pagenaud 😢
He made a fight out of it
Newgarden wins the championship!
Can't knock him for that
Good for Newgarden, did what he needed to do
Felix took rookie of the year
Herta the
of indycar
The rookie field looks strong for the future of IndyCar. Impressive since it was basically on its last legs not long ago
Yeah it's going from strength to strength
I expect the top 5 to be properly challenged next year by one or two of the rookies
great racing
such emotions from josef
He's a nice kid
must have been very stressfull for him going backwards indeed
ok so Newgarden won the title in the end, not the result i wanted but eh. At least Rosenqvist kept RY
Alice, how long are the ad cuts ? from what i remember yesterday, it was an ad cut every 10 mins
Depends, but usually 3-5min or so
Nice
I hope attack mode will help get theses race interesting because it was kind of a borefest last year
we were lucky if there was more than 2 overtakes in the whole race
A bigger grid would help too. Five pros and five amateurs in one race isn't thrilling
bigger grid has been announced
I'm suprised Herta's two wins this year was on tracks which were NOT in the 2018 IndyCar schedule
herta is a fast learner
Maybe it helped that experienced drivers had little/no experience of the tracks
it surely did

Rebellion reveals livery for 2019/20 WEC season
The Swiss squad will use the new silver, red and black scheme from next weekend's Fuji round onwards after revealing its new design on social media.
Rebellion ran its two Gibson-powered R-13 LMP1s in a split two-tone black-and-white livery at Silverstone, with the #1 car running predominantly in white and the #3 car featuring mostly black, but the team said at the time these designs were ...Keep reading
that looks fantastic
that looks amazing

https://www.autosport.com/wrc/news/146258/wrc-drops-corsica-spain-and-australia-for-2020
We can celebrate the return of Safari but in return we lose Corsica.
Because they didn't extend it?
Nz is decent, we don't know much about the current Japan idea
Why couldn't we get Estonia?
As long as they don't get rid of finland I'll be happy
article says they wanted more outside europe events to make it a real "world" rally championship
rac has been in wales for donkeys years
the same argument for that as for corsica
im very happy that the safari rally is coming back because its really unique
but its a crying shame to lose corsica
poor corisca
yes 🙂
Hope his future can continue to shine brightly
there's a channel for #feeder-series btw
Oh crap sorry
dw
that was a fucking bullshit move by bell
my dad: maybe we could see eachother soon, maybe we could watch ford vs ferrari at the cinema
me: yeah or we could go to the bsb showdown at brands
Allmendinger won
Formula EEEEEE
reeeee
I much prefer gen 2 to gen 1
Gen 1 looks good, but gen 2 is better
This season is the only one I’ve remotely followed, mostly because of pascal wehrlein
Yep, Mahindra
Nice
It’s back
only just realised Miz is dan
Mahindra drivers haven't been announced yet
Yap
Which team to go for?
I'm gonna be cheering for Pascal and Nyck
Wait there is London eprix?
yep
excuse me?
two of them
when
I like Envision Virgin
Lemme check, I have the FE app
Holy fuck that fits into my schedule
you should go man
Yep
nope not yet
July 25th and 26th
I wanna go to NY
unless you go to the excel and get them. i think there is a stall
Uhhh they're the last races of the season
Dang, any know of how much they’d cost?
🤷
about £30 p/p
Ok yes I am going
Nice
epic
brb
maybe i'll see you 👀
It would be nice if they brought FE to Japan
30 quid?
I wish i could see indycar here but the closest track is now like 7 hours away so Formula E is a nice alternative
30 quid?
thirty q u i d
Oh discord
ohh lmao
Discord is being useless again
Q u i d
where abouts you at Thatone?
It's gonna send a chain of q u I d
also @keen egret i think u should go macca
If FE came to Japan, would the cars race on the expressway like GT Sport or just on the streets of Tokyo
uhh idk man
maybe not even tokyo
that would cause a riot with how busy it is there
By dad already registered for fe tickets
The busiest part of Tokyo
So they’ll let him know when they’re available
Nice
Pretty epic
Hyped already but of course I have an obstacle
The dreaded GCSEs... kek
I'm probably closer to the Mexican e-Prix than the New York e-Prix
Ye, I know about that but I have to do them which scares me
I'm in the same boat brother
🤷
Lmao
Tanzania, I guess
Q, R, S, U, T, U, V
I mean if I’m staying at my school for 6th form they don’t really mean shit, right? Of course for the course I wanna do
But why put the UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA in the Ts
well
Uhhh I go to American school I dunno what that means
you still have to get into your schl for sixth form i guess
uh
gcses are exams taken at 16 years old
6th form is one of the education things at 16-18 with a levels taken at the end
Yep
@heavy shuttle sorry for the late reply, but I'm in New Jersey
ah fair. so NY is easy to get to rlly
the fe races are awesome, so defo should try and go to it
About 2 hours of a drive
i feel bad for americans everythings so far away

Ginetta "edging towards" third car at Le Mans
The British constructor, which is fielding two of its AER-powered G60-LT-P1s under the Team LNT banner in the full WEC season, wants to partner with another operation to run the additional car in the French classic.
Ginetta boss Lawrence Tomlinson told Motorsport.com: "We'd like to run an extra car at Le Mans and we are edging closer to that. It would probably be too much to do it ourselves ...Keep reading
I've never heard of her, but good news!!
how have you never heard of simona de silvestro
because ive never heard of her
happens when you don't follow a lot other series
she was sauber test driver for a while
Yeh I don't follow Aussie Supercars series
I don't even know all the test drivers of this year in F1
Theres so many
understandable
I know her from formula e
she did one or two races for andretti
when they were swapping drivers like every race
almost a whole season
and she also did indycar back in 2015 apparently
She did pretty decent in indycar as well
nice news for Simona
He went zoom
controller disconnected momento
Chase Elliot, isn’t it?
well thats pretty epic going
Hendricks is a mess last time I checked
Yes, sadly
How coincidental that NASCAR is the topic when I come to this channel
You can see Jimmie Johnson in the background
The Heartburn Turn was a mess last year
Hendrick have been pretty good second half of the season tho
Consistently at least 2-3 in the top 10
too nice
was hoping for hulkenberg :<
Any other options in fe for hulk
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019–20_Formula_E_season 5 seats remain to be assigned
Nobody has replaced Andre at tcheetah?
da Costa has
Yes
BMW will probably keep Sims
Mahindra should keep Pascal and Jerome
Nio is expected to keep Oliver Turvey
And supposedly take a Chinese driver in the other seat to please the sponsors
Bad internet in the bus sorry if some messages duplicates
wdym
Looks pretty nice to me
looks like a LMP car
its weird but not the worst? it looks very big from front angles
I like the weirdness
When I first saw it, I was honestly really reminded of the first aeroscreen dragsters before the flip top kind of became more popular
I think most people thought the HALO looked pretty weird when it was first introduced, but I think most everyone has at this point come to be used to it, so after a season or two I figure most will have adjusted to it being a feature of the norm
It’s weird to look at the cars without the halo on them
https://twitter.com/MercedesEQFE/status/1179727985462665218 so that's a move I didn't expect
yeap
I mean in fact it makes sense considering all the issues venturi powertrain had last season
it was like the worse reliability on the grid
Did HWA use the Venturi drivetrain?
Yep
I see
Who’s venturi drivers? Massa and Mortara?
i think so
Venturi is the Leo DiCaprio part owned one, right?
yes
It's a very old french brand that only ever did electric car in very small quantities
Fuji WEC: Rebellion splits Toyotas in first practice
Sebastien Buemi took the top spot in a 90-minute session that began on a damp but rapidly drying track at the wheel of the #8 TS050 Hybrid.
Toyota was on course to lock out the top two spots for much of the session until Norman Nato set a 1m27.659s in the solo Rebellion R-13-Gibson to split the Japanese cars.

Fuji WEC: Toyota goes 1.4s clear in FP2
As was the case in the morning's opening session, the #8 Toyota TS050 Hybrid led the way in the afternoon's second session, this time in the hands of Kazuki Nakajima.
In what appeared to be a qualifying simulation, Nakajima set an early benchmark of 1m25.623s, some 1.7s up on Sebastien Buemi's session-topping FP1 time.
That effort went unchallenged for the remainder of the 90-minute session ...Keep reading

The Dutchman will be joined by BMW factory driver Mikkel Jensen, rising LMP2 star Job van Uitert and Blancpain GT Series ace Vincent Abril, with each driver assigned to ...Keep reading

Kobayashi "demotivated" by LMP1 handicap rules
The Japanese driver believes the penalties designed to slow the #7 Toyota TS050 Hybrid he shares with Mike Conway and Jose Maria Lopez by 1.4 seconds a lap for this weekend's second round leave them with little chance of winning the race.
Toyota's #8 car, which finished second behind the #7 machine at the Silverstone series opener last month, has been penalised to the tune of one second, but ...Keep reading
Imagine how demotivated the rest of LMP1 are having to compete against one team that has a ridiculous amount of extra resources to them.
I mean, they're in the non-hybrid class, so they kinda have a bit of their own championship - just not really officially
Rebellion won't 'screw around' to gain Shanghai edge
The solo Rebellion R-13 shared by Senna, Gustavo Menezes and Norman Nato has been handed only a 0.03 second per-lap handicap under the new system that is being implemented for the first time in Japan, following a troubled run to 10th overall at Silverstone.
It gives the #1 crew a theoretical advantage of 1.37s over the Silverstone-winning #7 Toyota, and a 0.97s edge over the #8 car that ...Keep reading

WEC extends LMP2 regulations through 2022
The move, confirmed by Friday's FIA World Motor Sport Council meeting, will also result in the current breed of LMP2 car introduced in 2017 racing on in the European Le Mans Series to the climax of the 2022 season.
The performance of LMP2 machinery will be reduced when they are joined on the WEC grid by cars from the new hypercar category that replaces LMP1 for the 2020/21 season.

Kobayashi and his teammates in the #7 TS050 Hybrid, Jose Maria Lopez and Mike Conway, ended up 33.9 seconds down on the race-winning #8 Toyota at Fuji, hobbled by their theoretical success handicap of 0.4s a lap after their Silverstone triumph.
The gap between the Toyotas had been as large as 50 seconds before the #8 car picked up a drive-through penalty for pitlane speeding.

De Vries reflects on "surreal" WEC victory in Fuji
Fresh from wrapping up the Formula 2 title in Sochi, de Vries was making his first appearance in the 2019/20 WEC campaign in Fuji last weekend, having been forced to skip the season opener at Silverstone due to a clash with the Spa F2 round.
The Dutch driver showed phenomenal pace as he took on the lion's share of driving duties in the #29 TDS Racing-Oreca 07 he shared with Giedo van der Garde ...Keep reading

Toyota convinced it won't dominate in Shanghai
The Japanese manufacturer believes that the new system of success handicaps will make it difficult for its TS050 Hybrid to maintain a run of WEC victories dating back to 2017's Fuji race, discounting its double disqualification at Silverstone last August.
The Toyotas will be further slowed in comparison to their privateer rivals, Rebellion Racing and the Team LNT Ginetta squad, at the Chinese ...Keep reading

Aston Martin "needed" to prove itself in dry
The newly-introduced Vantage GTE scored two wins in the 2018/19 superseason at Shanghai and Spa, both both of these were in wet conditions - as the car tended to struggle to look after its tyres over a stint in the dry.
Thiim and Sorensen's triumph in the #95 entry at Fuji last weekend therefore mark's the car's first GTE Pro class win without the help of bad weather.

I mean, I felt like he honestly did a pretty good job this year, so I don't think signing him is unreasonable thermodby
Still irked Ferrucci was held up as a golden boy and didn't even see a podium. While Herta and Felix both had 2 podiums and announcers seemed to act like any kind of good performance from the two was a shocking fluke
Because hes a fucking american. That's why
Not american? no american fame for you
American but an absolute idiot? american fame for you!
He is
people thought the bias for british drivers on Sky was bad
Indeed Herta is American, so if we're just chalking this up to 'Murrica bias I still don't understand it. And I'm American...
I would also say the shocking fluke thing for Felix seems out of place when he was a pretty consistent top end performer from the get go, though he did have a bit of a slump in the mid-season
herta also has a bigger chance of being a golden boy because his father was also a great driver
so its a bit baffling really
I don't think Herta has quite the financial backing of the other two, despite his father's prior racing history
Ghiotto expects to end single-seater career
The Formula 2 has revealed that he believes his future is in sportscars after making his race debut in the discipline with the Team LNT Ginetta squad in Japan last weekend.
"After four years in F2 [including one when it was called GP2], I would need to find a very good opportunity, otherwise it is time to look at something different," Ghiotto, 24, told Motorsport.com.
"That's why I am here ...Keep reading
Toyota: WEC shouldn't "play around" with handicaps
Toyota team director Rob Leupen made the remark after the Japanese marque secured a dominant 1-2 in its home race, two laps ahead of top privateer Rebellion Racing.
It came despite the Silverstone-winning #7 Toyota TS050 Hybrid and the sister #8 machine being slowed to the tune of 1.4 seconds and 1s a lap respectively, while Rebellion's solo R-13 was given only a negligible 0.03s a lap penalty ...Keep reading

Vandoorne eyes repeat of Spa, Le Mans cameos
Vandoorne – who is in Mercedes’ driver line-up for its first season as a works FE entrant alongside Nyck de Vries in 2019/20 – was drafted in to SMP Racing's LMP1 line-up for Spa and Le Mans in place of Brendon Hartley, who in turn had replaced Jenson Button.
The #11 car he shared with Vitaly Petrov and Mikhail Aleshin finished third in both races, before SMP withdrew from the WEC ahead ...Keep reading

Toyota yet to make a call on Buemi FE/WEC clash
No decisions have been made on whether the Nissan e.dams FE driver will have to skip the Sanya ePrix on March 21 to race in the Sebring 1000 Miles, according to Toyota Motorsport GmbH technical director Pascal Vasselon.
"We will see when the time comes, but we have clear priority," Vasselon told Motorsport.com. "It could depend on a series of factors, but it is too early to ...Keep reading

Why Shanghai could be Rebellion’s last chance to win
When the LMP1 handicap system was first revealed, it was Toyota’s belief that the system would make it almost impossible for it to win three races in a row. In just under a month or now, that particular theory will be put to the test.
In fact, November’s third round of the 2019/20 WEC season in Shanghai has to offer Rebellion Racing in particular a good chance to finally do something it has ...Keep reading

since we discussed electric motorsports in #formula-1 , Opel will officially present the car for their new electric rallye cup, the Corsa-e
I think it's a bit weird because it doesn't really look like a Rallye car? https://www.rallye-magazin.de/fileadmin/news-bilder/2019/Opel-Corsa-e.jpg
the Adam didn't have any big aero elements either but it did look more... "sporty"
that colour scheme isn't the easiest on the eye
that looks sick
it's interesting they're going with the Opel brand for electric rallye, rather than Peugeot
@lethal yacht rather than Vauxhall?
Vauxhall is the same as Opel for the british market, isn't it
Yeh
Just questioning if you meant Vauxhall rather than Peugeot
Unless Opel and Peugeot have a relationship I am unware of
🤷🏻♂️
Vauxhall · Citroën · DS · Dongfeng · Hindustan Ambassador · Peugeot · Opel
These are the brands they have now
and i'm surprised they wanna go with Opel, cause afaik the brand Peugeot isn't involved in motorsports
Yeh, weird
There's a 208 for the R5 and R2 classes and a 308 TCR
what sports is that ?
R2 and R5 are Rallye
TCR is TCR (Touring Cars)
But I'm not sure they're still being actively developed. At least I barely see any 308s in TCR races
Big oof
Dem NASCAR Haulers like to have issues
The 47 one caught on fire and the other won went through a guardrail rolled down a hill and the backup car went through the front of the trailer.

Volume up! 🔊Listen to our new cars for the first time as Formula E took to the track in Valencia for testing. With Mercedes-Benz and Tag Heuer Porsche joinin...
and favorite sound
Mahindra cars sounds like the star wars pod race things

Dude, all the FE cars sound so good when they're just riding on the pit limiter
Yep

Finishes 6th, gets replaced
But he hasn't been dropped from the junior programme... yet
One would think they'd eventually learn to stop burning up their options as they struggle to fill seats
well maybe there are just seeing how Vips performs in sf
They wanna put Vips in SF next year I guess, which just makes no sense to remove him from the F1 ladder. I have no idea why Red Bull think SF which has such a different car, tactics, tires, refuelling etc is preferable to an F2 car which has a lot of similarities with F1... and that's neglecting the fact that SF offer such a low amount of Superlicense points in comparison
does he need a lot more SL points
nope
according to the table i got he has 42 points, but thats from getting 20 for 4th in f3, when its 10 for 4th in f3
so only 8 more points really
should defo go to f2 next year
thought you needed 40
oh yeh i missed saying that it probably means he has 32 points
Yeah he would have had enough SL points if he finished 3rd in F3 but he finished the year with a string of bad luck and mistakes
So Red Bull signed O'ward, pulled him of his indycar drive to put him in Superformula in the middle of both seasons, and they decided to throw him out even before the end of the season
yeah that sounds like red bull junior program to me
in other words, dicks
https://twitter.com/FIAFormulaE/status/1185137799193944065?s=20 @keen egret hope you wished a happy birthday to your boi
This makes a LOT of sense with him being dropped from Super Formula
I thought they'd put Sergio Sette Camara in there though
Sergio deserves a good drive IMO he's a good driver
He's awesome, I just don't know where he goes from here
He's been stuck in F2 too long with irregular results because of bad luck to have a shot in an F1 team
Yeah, he's a McLaren junior and I don't see them changing their line up for a while
I wonder if McLaren will keep him on
Are you talking about Sette-Camara?
No lies, don't think he's really an F1 quality driver
Would love to see that
Well he would end up like Maldonado in F1, fast but inconsistent
I could maybe see him making the jump if did super well in Super Formula, but I agree IndyCar is a better optoin
Err, I dunno that he would even rise to the levels of Maldonado flash in the pan, erratic speed. He's not great with his tyres....
I fully expected him to comfortably beat Latifi as his team mate this year
McLaren dropped de Vries they really should have dropped Camara lol
Well both of them didn't have a very good season last year
They got 4th and 6th
The drivers in 1-2-3 and 5 left F2 at the end of the season
So De Vries only won because there wasn't anyone left to challenge him
I agree, next season will be interesting now that some really talented F3 drivers will be stepping up
Yeah, most of his competition this year were people that had been around F2/GP2 a long time and struggled for success
Who is confirmed from F3
No one 100% but Schwartzman and Armstrong have both said they're looking to make the step up as part of Ferrari academy
Daruvala and Tsunoda also linked with seats
Nice
I really rate Schwartzman, I think he'll do well straight off the bat in F2
it's not easy to do so, really.
people like Leclerc who have a very dominant season for their first try, are very few
I wanna see Daruvala in F2
why exactly ?
Russell, Norris and Leclerc are the only drivers in the last while that have managed to finish top 3 in their first season
Albon was 10th in 2017
Yeah Gasly and Albon needed more than one season. Vandoorne was in GP2 for two seasons but finished 2nd then 1st
The missed opportunity of Karun Chandok makes me want another Indian driver
Daruvala is having a much stronger junior career than Chandhok had as well
Yes

Aye, Replaced with Marrakech

Big nice
1 support race down 1 mad finish
nicee
have fun bsb is class to watch 😃
but what does it actually mean when a corner "opens"?
if the angle of a corner changes at some point during it
the corner becomes less narrow
hence opens
as in opens up
and for narrow it just means the corner is narrow lol
oh its rally signs
ye
How did I confuse narrow with tightens
Well after it tightens it's narrow
I guess
so the Blancpain GT series will just be... GT series for now?
The series formerly known as Blancpain series

Follow Michael on his journey to the ultimate motorsport event in this weekly Youtube series starting October 11. Road to Le Mans tells the story about Micha...
as you know motorsports is very dangerous as there has been many humans that have died doing what they love due to terrible crashes, so from now on please do not wish for a driver to crash or just a crash in general, as you do not know what consequences that crash may have.
Has anyone wished for someone to crash that I missed?
Not many people here have the ‘i hope for a crash’ mindset here, a lot of other people sadly do
it’s just cus we don’t make the connection of crash could mean death anymore
i genuinely didn’t think i’d see someone die watching motorsports in this era
there’s just not much thought about death cus it’s a lot rarer
even serious injuries
