Hey guys, I heard there's a race on.






The Rumor about Pastor Maldanado going to Williams next year is gathering ~momentum~

Every team bringing big updates and all that

[DrDickAction]

Pastor replacing Rubinho or Hulk I wonder...

[vietlol]

Bubens already confirmed Im pretty sure.

Bubens already confirmed Im pretty sure.

For the old folks home?


I'd think they keep the Hulk based on 1) results on the 2nd half of the season, he's done reasonably well compared to Rubens 2) younger driver w/ more longevity.

Now I hope Rubens doesn't get the boot, but I'd think they'd try to go w/ a longer term solution.

I dont think they will dump the Hulk either, they've invested too much in him and he's shown some good results.

Bubens is just too solid though, and Maldanado was in GP2 for like 4 seasons before finally winning? I dunno other than sponsorship doesn't sound like a great option.

[Nacho]

Hulk doesn't being sponsorship that Maldanado brings, or the results/experience that Boobens brings (hulk only bested Rubens a few times, and has 17 points to Rubens' 41). $ to donuts he's out.

Same as Renault with Petrov. Yamamoto @ HRT. Perez at Sauber.

Prepare for another round of sponsorship = seats.

low 1:37's
simulator said a good lap was in the 44's

I wasn't sure if he meant the sims were predictiong 1:40.4xx or 1:44.. Either way its impressive how much grip they can have with this special 'quick curing' surface sealant that they'll remove in a couple of months to further increase grip for next year..

That dust patch it hits is ridiculous!

[MrBucket]

This track is fucking retarded and dangerous. I can't put into words how much of a failure this shit is.

[vietlol]

The track overall looks kinda average, at least the two long straights should provide some action. I REALLY want to drive that last section though, the flowing corners next to the wall and then that final turn where you take some curb just looks properly fun. Too bad my wheel is broken.

Its just fucking retarded to have walls right up against the track when its not a street course.

it's going to be 1/2 a street course in a couple years when they finish building everything...
