blatantly a euphemism for sending her a picture of his cock and balls.

New Sauber looks great.

Really? Half it it is, yet again, dull exposed carbon fibre. Although it’s the best of the 3 liveries revealed so far because at least a bit of bright colour to it.

bradders1011 · « **Reply #125 on:** February 5, 2024, 11:27:25 pm »

Yeah, it's actually an interesting colour. We haven't had green for a while as well. We've got to get used to bare carbon until they come up with a way of compensating for the weight.

Sprint weekend format changed so it's:

Fri: FP1 - Sprint qualy
Sat: Sprint race - GP qualy
Sun: GP

The Saturday switch seems off - if someone bins it into the wall or lunches their gearbox they're going to miss the GP qualifying surely? A major issue during the sprint race issue effectively ends your weekend on Saturday morning.

So basically binning off FP2 and 3. Means teams will have to have all their sighter and race distance practice laps into FP1.

But 'Fan engagement' and ticket sales I guess...

that's the same as last year though.

all they've done is move the sessions around.

voodoo ray · « **Reply #135 on:** February 7, 2024, 02:56:46 pm »

al peen have lost pretty much all their colour as well.

any races in the rain where it's gloomy are going to look awful.

Trump's tiny tiny hands · « **Reply #136 on:** February 7, 2024, 03:45:39 pm »

Yeah, aerial shots are going to be a real problem

CornerFlag · « **Reply #137 on:** February 7, 2024, 04:06:30 pm »

Maybe they can eventually make a provision that "Exposed carbon fibre should not constitute any more than 10% (pick a number, any number) of the external bodywork" or something along those lines.

Stake F1 Team Isn't Legally Allowed To Be Called That In Team's Home Country Of Switzerland

The team will operate as Kick F1 Team in countries where crypto gambling is illegal

Won't affect Ted, I'm sure he'll just carry on calling them Sauber anyway.

One car not going the full carbon look is VCA RB, but maybe they should've

voodoo ray · « **Reply #140 on:** February 9, 2024, 09:24:01 am »

it's nice to see a bit of colour, but it's just a not as good version of the TR livery from a few years back.

Trump's tiny tiny hands · « **Reply #141 on:** February 9, 2024, 09:29:10 am »

I wonder how close that is to the car they turn up to testing with? Some pretty obvious changes from last year already, not least them going to the pull rod front suspension

D-Day for Horner, isn't it?

It's based around "Inappropriate behaviour" but it's well-guarded as to what's happened so far. I've not heard much at all.

Qston · « **Reply #146 on:** February 9, 2024, 11:31:25 am »

Of the releases so far, my favourite is probably the Williams. The liveries this year are a weird collection.

CornerFlag · « **Reply #147 on:** February 9, 2024, 12:52:30 pm »

One of the rule changes that's gone under the radar a bit is that teams get an extra engine per driver this season too, and DRS happens a lap sooner from a start/restart than previous seasons too.

Elzar · « **Reply #148 on:** February 9, 2024, 05:00:50 pm »

I actually like that VCARB car look, reminds me of a 90s football kit

paulrazor · « **Reply #149 on:** February 9, 2024, 05:01:52 pm »

yeah best livery and shit name

What would be the worst names ever for teams?

Racing point was awful

the vast majority of what?

in general I prefer watching a race to a practice session.

Whats the rationale behind most cars being exposed carbon fibre instead of actual liveries?

It weighs more than 0 paint.

I mean you go pick up an empty can of paint and a full one and you tell me if that weight matters.

Approx 6-10Kg which equates to about 0.18 seconds per lap.
