Exactly, they can always bring Rossi on later, maybe start him out as a test driver?

 

I really like the way they've gone about it - they could have bought an existing team and then tried to modify it into a winning car, but instead went to Ferrari, aligned with them, got all the tech they could from them including use of their wind tunnel, bought a proven engine and gearbox /MGU unit....I think they've done well, and I fully expect them to be a mid field team - allowing for the usual start up problems and failures.

It's a huge amount of work already, but the learning curve is really just beginning. Think of all the logistics, team prep, race engineer, pit crew etc training they still have ahead of them.

If for no other reason than Haas, 2016 is going to be an interesting year.

Add to that the (hopefully) improved Honda, Toro Rosso with Ferrari power and so on - the mid field is going to be an interesting place to race!

 

That bridge the troll lives under needs to collapse.

 

I know....but it's fun to think about, isn't it?

I mean, suppose Bernie offers Merc some kind of "deal" (wink wink, nudge nudge) and they gave them to Red Bull - if Red Bull starts beating them - OMG there would be Mercedes people falling all over their swords - heads would roll.

And if they didn't start beating them, RB would complain that they weren't getting the same spec engines or something......

Either way, more soap opera......

Without them, I predict more of the same as the last two seasons.....

1) Merc
2) Ferrari
3) Everyone else.....

 

...or it was filmed after the end of the season team party[emoji482]

 

I've said it before but I just wish he would go away. Put on his Depends and

just go.

 

No worries I don't let the F1 circus get me upset. I just watch & marvel at the action or inaction.

 

I don't marvel at F1, just isn't my bag and I don't question others high regard for it. It seems to me though, as an outsider, that it's more about politics, rules and Bernie's money than it is about racing.

 

I'm waiting for Bernie to die. Well, that's harsh. Perhaps I should say I'm waiting for him to cease to exist any longer.







It's been a long wait.

 

I thought Bernie died a while ago. Trouble is he still exists as the zombie of F1. He needs a wooden stake driven through his coal black heart.

 

Good. I like K-Mag and thought he got a bum rap from McLaren.

 

I like this look

You guys ever see the video for what happens in the video game Forza 6 if you replace all the drivers with Maldonado' AI?

Yeah, and their name needs to rhyme with a relevant description. I liked 'Hunt the Shunt' best, for the late James Hunt.

If we're gonna bad mouth somebody, it needs to be catchy.

 

That's only true of some of them.

It was Colin Edwards years ago who said that getting fifth place in Moto GP was as good as he could hope for, as the the four guys ahead of him (Rossi, Lorenzo, Stoner, Pedrosa) were 'aliens' that he could not hope to beat.

One of the wisest comments ever made about racers, I reckon. If you want to win in Moto GP, you definitely have to have some alien properties - just watch Marquez (new alien) dance on the precipice.

And once an alien, always an alien, I reckon. Casey Stoner has just taken part in the testing session for 2016 Moto GP and collected fifth place, ahead of one of the current aliens....

 

What are the predictions for next season? Another Hammy and Merc samich? (for crashton)
Or is someone else going to step up to the plate?

What does the M/A F1 brain trust say?
