F1 - General discussion and 2017

Vettal has 30 laps to chase down Hamilton - think he can do it?
 
Good race, nice fighting, pit RBs couldnt do more.

Seb so skew on the start??

Onwards to Bahrain next weekend.
 
Why is the tires not like previous years, they last only some laps. Now they can drive the stuff nearly a full race.

Because seeing drivers tiptoeing around for 3/4 of the race so as not to spoil the tyres after 5 laps was fracking boring...
 
The way the Mercedes passed the McLaren on the straight shows just what a useless POS the Honda engine is...
 
Brainless Ferrari strategy strikes again.

1 - Should've moved Kimi out of Sebs way, he'd have been closer to Hamilton after the final round of pit stops.
2 - Should've brought Kimi in for tyres a number of laps earlier than they did, he'd have beaten both Red Bulls.

Williams still can't build a car that works in wet/cool conditions.

And Verstappen could find a dry line in the Amazon.

F1 2017 China - Highlights

INDYCAR have announced their new aero direction for 2018 and it comes down;

- Removing most of the appendages that have appeared on their cars in the past few years, which is something we can see happening in F1 (again), in an attempt to minimise ''dirty air'';
- Reducing the downforce generated by the wings, again to minimise ''dirty air'';
- Return of the underwing as the primary source of downforce, which is effectively ground effects.

Basically, everything INDYCAR is reversing is what F1 have just gone and done. I still maintain that F1 is/has gone in the wrong direction in the pursuit of closer racing.
 
That car looks quite good.

But they only drive ovals don't they ? As opposed to varying tracks.

Although downforce is obviously synonymous sure the set up would be quite different.

No, Nascar is only ovals, Indycar is race tracks.

You might be thinking of the Indy 500 that is Oval yes, but they do proper tracks
