Grand Prix Rejects

Shizuka

And now Merhi has had a time under 107% by... 0.021s. Not bad.

Shizuka

Stevens has had his best time under 107%, but Merhi needs to improve 0.5s to get under 107% if we look at FP2 times.

I'd like to see where Alonso pulls that shitbox. I still remember what he did in Suzuka 2001 in that Minardi.

Alright, I'm going to do a test recording of me speaking (don't get me wrong, not because of wanting to participate!) and then uploading a before/after. I can't show music here after all, it's irrelevant

Shizuka

Do you guys look for someone who could give it a minor touch on the podcast in terms of audio quality, EQ, compression and anything like that? I'd help with this gladly.

Here's Formel1.de's comparison of the best lap times from the teams in 2014 and 2015:

Hungarian situation: Between 2012 and 2014, F1 coverage was like this: - Second FP delayed on M2 - Q and race live on M1, delayed on M2, both getting split-screen commercials, both having pre-, and after segments (Both channels are FTA, outside Hungary too for Transylvanian Hungarians for example) 2...

based on the assumption that, at any moment in time, there is a non-zero probability that even the slowest, most inexperienced and least reliable of underdogs might win the race. That under every rock, there might be a gold nugget. This is the award for that first podium that we all celebrate, for ...

Great stuff, despite losing the front wing, a late-race effort net a 6th place!

Yeah, a round of applause for that!

According to Spanish newspaper El País, Alonso thought he was in 1995 after his accident... I can't believe a word of that. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/motors ... crash.html

Shizuka

Go Manor, keep the reject flag flying!

Shizuka

Alright, unless there's interest by anyone to test at us, consider V-Sport to be folded. I've been a bit busy recently, so it might be a good time to put my team to rest.

Shizuka

Looks like McLaren will have issues after all... they seem to aim for that RotR to start off their Honda tenure!

Shizuka

I don't think Taylor would be kept for next season, so for both days, Velazquez is a shoe-in to test.
Second seat is open at the current moment. If nobody has an offer, we'll go with Taylor.

Shizuka

I think Sauber will nab the IIDOTR in some way if Manor doesn't show up. If they do, I don't think they can get it.

Shizuka

Remember when McLaren had issues before the season started? 2004? 2011 I think?
They will bounce back. I think Fernando and Jenson will have issues in the race, yes, most likely a double DNF will happen, but they will definitely qualify.

Well, Jamie and Enoch are to be considered retired now, I suppose. I suppose Alasdair and/or Nico take that role on now?

IIDOTRs are still going to happen though, because it was always a community vote

Shizuka

Pardon my French, but BATHPLUG YES!

Not sure where to post it, but McLaren has shown the car in Tokyo as well...

Taki's comments are:

McLaren Honda launch in Tokyo. Oh dear... No title sponsor. Where can they squeeze the racing budget for this year?

Shizuka

Wow, either gearbox or accident DNFs. Two driver upgrades please, I will invest into my driver as much as possible.

We just can't get a break again...

Bizzarri should not worry

Several sources close to Revolution Engineering have said that the team is likely to offer both of their current drivers a seat for next season.
Revolution's spokesman was not able to comment, but this should give hope to Marco Bizzarri.

Shizuka

Damn it.

Shizuka

We should have 675 with that result, so an acceleration and a driver upgrade please. Yay, result

Shizuka

This doesn't really fit the testing thread, but Niki Lauda was caught on camera.

Yeah, but along with Revolution, Mecha is pretty much locked out of winning the PQ cup as NRE goes back for the next PQ event.

They will likely be backmarkers anyway this year indeed.

I have to say, the cars that were shown this year were already better looking than the 2013 and 2014 grids put together, but that doesn't say much. I'm very concerned about McLaren's lack of a main sponsor, how are they supposed to be competitive with Mercedes development wise without the cash of a...
