And that was after his pit crew botched the tire change!

Will have to wait and see how ESPN presents the race, I likethe broadcasters but there was a bit to much advertising during the race.

Team Pink both drivers in the points and Massa ended up 10th in driver's points for the season.

O yea, they waited 5 seconds, then took almost 10 to change the tires.
Basically, Hulk smoked team Pink this race.

Speed Channel did a way better job. I always fast forwarded through that split screen shit.

I hated that split screen shit, if anything happened during that it basically got no coverage. At least during a full commercial break they told you what you missed during the break.

Critterman · « **Reply #2230 on:** November 29, 2017, 10:01:57 AM »

Only time will tell if the new broadcasting crew will have the knowledge this group had. I will miss their interaction.

Holy shit
Alfa Romeo took over Sauber.

Looks like I have a new team to root for

elff · « **Reply #2232 on:** November 29, 2017, 11:21:13 AM »

Looks to be a partnership. Here is the official announcement

Sol Asylum · « **Reply #2233 on:** November 29, 2017, 12:04:34 PM »

I seem to remember them talking about that being a possibility during the race.

Kelu · « **Reply #2234 on:** November 29, 2017, 11:05:34 PM »

Alfa in F1? I wouldn't believe it but this car business is just a clan rotating their brands and business , FIAT on Chrysler, PGA getting Opel ....

What's next? My nightmare VAG to get GM.

elff · « **Reply #2235 on:** December 02, 2017, 07:02:27 PM »

Are you saying you are scared of VAG
How do you have a son?

I am really looking forward to this. The livery on the new car is sexy AF!!!

They will have a 2018 Ferrari engine, instead of being 1 year behind, which gives Ferrari 4 cars and multiple engineers to help them take it to MB.

Charles LeClerc and Marcus Ericsson are the confirmed drivers.

FEAR THE SNAKE!!!

That is a good looking car design, the RED really pops.

Critterman · « **Reply #2237 on:** December 03, 2017, 10:07:40 AM »

Shame such a pretty car is going to be one of the slowest.

Not with a Ferrari engine, similar to the Hass team, it should be interesting.

The Fiat logo will make it less reliable

That's probably going to be Honda powered cars but Ferrari engines did have their issues this year.

elff · « **Reply #2242 on:** December 03, 2017, 11:24:23 PM »

Ferrari was more reliable than everyone in F1 this year except MB. Their DNFs were primarily driver faults and specifically Vettel faults.
Honda and Renault were very bad.
In 2018, Alfa Romeo-Sauber will have the same engine as Scuderria Ferrari and not a previous model. Wasn’t Haas 1 year behind Scuderria’s engine?

I’d buy FCA before GM any day.

LatinVenom · « **Reply #2243 on:** December 04, 2017, 05:20:37 PM »

Yes, the Hass engine for 2017 was one year older than the one in the Ferraris, also the Honda engines are for toro roso(spelling)

Wow, you are indeed adventurous (sounds italian for you?)

elff · « **Reply #2245 on:** December 05, 2017, 07:30:29 PM »

Naaa
Just think that GM is a total P.O.S. company and now that I don't own the Sky, I know that I will never own anything from them again.
I've detailed my reasons in other posts.

The 500 Abarth and the new 124 Spider Abarth are both great cars, my 4C is freakin awesome and has had an incredible reliability record since 2015, and last but not least, I love Jeeps.

So yea, FCA>GM in my opinion

elff · « **Reply #2246 on:** December 07, 2017, 11:20:53 AM »

Now there are rumors about Maserati jumping into F1 and inking a deal with HAAS.
That would be interesting and give Ferrari some major pull in the decision making process of F1 engines

Critterman · « **Reply #2247 on:** December 07, 2017, 12:01:40 PM »

I just saw that today

elff · « **Reply #2248 on:** December 07, 2017, 10:23:00 PM »

6 cars all with 2018 Ferrari engines would sure shake up the grid.

Sol Asylum · « **Reply #2249 on:** January 11, 2018, 02:27:05 PM »
