I'd rather Hulk podium than Fred.

I dont want to see Mclaren act like they won something when they finish P3.

Ah 2hrs + 1 full lap. That confused the American broadcasters...those three need to retire.

I'm indifferent with Hulk still. I don't feel he's Alonso caliber, and I honestly think of him as another Heidfeld. Just because he's whooping on Palmer doesn't mean he'll be able to handle Sainz next year. That will be the telling story for me. How can he handle Sainz.

I really was hoping to see Bob in that seat but oh well.

I didn't know that part about Williams testing. Nice. Even if it's another mentorship role for Stroll.

HAHA I carried the graph stuff over to the F1 group at work. Here's mine. The flatlines for Ferrari hurt!

EDIT: I had to make them bright/high contrast because of my colorblindness.

Check out the picture of Alonso in the air (turn 1) and Singapore Airlines in the background. Then the comment "Redbull gives you wings." HAHA!!

Insert stopped working for me so here's the clicky.

Oh...so we've got some filter stupidity going huh? HRM.
Fine. Alonso's Instagram page.

The track temperature was certainly a little lower in the race, around eight degrees lower than Saturday's peak, and that clearly helped. Significant, too, perhaps was the fact that Mercedes struggled with the balance of the car on ultra-softs during practice combined with the fact Hamilton set a prodigiously fast pace on soft-compound Pirellis in free practice two. That, perhaps, hinted at the underlying potential of the Mercedes.

It's pretty great. Especially when you need to plot lots of different functions of the same independent variable, that also have vastly different scaling outputs.

Say torque, horsepower, % efficiency, voltage, current, Power Factor, etc. Excel would tell you to fock off. Or just have lots of dem purdy graphs.

Wood Merc be so daft as to give RB their PU badged as Aston Martin?


I love the idea but I can't see why Merc wood do it. That said, Toto and his superiors need to make it so.

This whole AM deal makes no sense to me at all. Is it like the Infinity deal where it was just to advertise the name?

Correct. The profit margins on these supercars are so outrageous that they only need to sell a few to get a return on their investment. I don't see many Astons on the road but perhaps they're trying to take the fight to Porsche, Ferrari, McLaren, etc.

Let us not forget that Ferrari does absolutely zero advertising, except for their racing teams...and they get F1 essentially for free because of the payout structure.

FTFY.

Their F1 budget is basically covered by FOM and sponsorship monies. Which is a metric **** ton. #itsgoodtobeking

Ah ok. Thanks for clearing that up fellas. I see tons of Aston's around my way, but then again, I do live in Miami and my current and old job were in rich, playboy areas full of guys who liked to show off the wealth.

Also with AM as the title sponsor in 2018 will we see a lot moar green for RB14 Livery?

Will it be Aston Martin Red Bull Renault akin to when it used to be Marlboro Ferrari or Vodafone McLaren Mercedes?
