I am not mad at qualy. It did what they wanted. Some faster cars will be starting further back.

Merc is so much faster than the other teams, they didn't have to do any late runs in Q3. Once they had 1-2 they wisely stayed their rather than battle themselves attempting to improve or put Rosberg on pole.

He'd rather them fold up or, at best, bleed talent and hemorrhage money like Sauber.

mmmmmkay. Sure.

lol @ Manor being a "contender".

And as soon as Haas figures out how to work a watch they'll be ahead of Sauber, and potentially Renault as well.

Losers, that's who. And there have been plenty. What he's done is brilliant. As close to a customer car as you can get, hitting the ground running.


I can't cheer against an American F1 team. Will buy a Haas shirt when they go on closeout after the season.

Qualifying was very disappointing. Came here and the last three page made up for it again.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised by the #bluelogic ITT.

They will be building their own car. But you know, lots of initial capital required and all that.

How to Haas F1 for blue:
Step 1: Learn how to be an F1 team. Be 7th-8th, get ~$40-50mil in bonus money when you qualify for prize fund in 2 years.

Step 2: Build up infrastructure over two years. Incur more costs. BUT WAIT! Here comes the money you earned for not being a dip ****!

Step 3: Troll blue for having a plan that works.

All the businessmen? You the guy who works assembly and Esty the 30 something foreveralone student? (Oh snap, first personal jab I've ever made at Esteban)

Keep feigning success on a car forum bro, some day you might impress someone.
YES! And we're back!

Yep, I left a job you couldn't get in 10 years of trying (fact). But hey don't feel bad for me, because I don't. I enjoy the motivation knowing I'll get to hire the blue's of the world to perform my remedial tasks for me. #feelsgood

STR1 = RB1
STR2 = RB3 (same car, different PU)
STR3 = RB4 (same car, different PU)
STR4 = RB5 (same car, different PU)
STR5 = first car designed in house by STR

Don't you rank the STR11 as the prettiest car on the grid? Did you forget to hate them for not making their own car for 4 years?

Les be honest. They all suck. 90% races are boring and the ones that aren't are still boring for more than 50% of the race.

Would prefer to watch the races from onboard views the entire time - with outside cams to show the gaps here and there.

ok, back to srs business.

Did I say work is all that matters? Reminder, you took a dig at me for working hard towards my goals, then got defensive when I **** on your laughable career? deal with it bruh.

Hobbies: collecting hot wheels and JDM magazines for your cubbyhole? #mustbenice

Don't dream of my old job, you'd never get it.

But don't worry blue, I think it's great the work you do. Honest, no bullshit. Not everyone is motivated to do more, to push themselves for higher earning potential and more responsibility. We need people (read: you) to do the remedial **** that just has to get done. You have value to the work force. But forgive me if that just ain't for me.

IndyCar races are more exciting. But the cars are ugly. And ABC coverage sucks. Always Boring Coverage. NBCSN coverage of IndyCar is way better.

On who's dime? Dad paid for my travel and food? News to me.

TIL I learned from blue that visiting your dad to go riding/exploring together is something chumps do.

You are a proper loser. I wouldn't worry about being as successful as me; never gonna happen.

Anything more than a stack of pizzas and ice water is excessive for a wedding reception. Honeymoon? Netflix and chill.

That you two can't get that through your heads is the issue.
You realize in the history of F1, a team that runs a car not of their manufacture is not a new and novel thing correct? Williams started that way you know. You HATE IT, so really you HATE the DNA of the sport. Good on you I suppose. Esplains your masturbating to Hami pretty well.
