FIA Formula One 2018 |OT| Halo: Racing Evolved

More than the halo, I really REALLY dislike these weird rear wings. I like the car's overall concept, but these rear wings looks so cheap and goofy, almost like some Hot Wheels thing. So weird...
So, Felipe Massa (not) reacting to Stroll's "I never needed guidance from Massa" produces comedic gold in the comments...

If I was Felipe I would confirm that. I mean, the boy is and awful driver. I wouldn't want to have my good name related to that kind of performance.
BTW: Lowe calls Massa 'fantastic' coach for Stroll in rookie F1 year

Did anyone see the Bathurst 12 hour? There was an incident with a fire Marshall that triggered me big time. Paul Morris was in a car that was literally on fire, cleverly knew where the fire marshalls were stationed, and pulled his car up right next to them. Then the fuckit fire marshall must have spent 10-15 seconds figuring out what to do. It's a car on fire. You're a fire marshall. WTF do you think you're supposed to do?
It looked like they'd never fucking operated a fire extinguisher before. Morris was thankfully fine, but he was just really, really fucking lucky that the flames died out on their own.

Pretty sure she was just a flag marshall and there was no way, and rightly so, she was going to enter the track to get to the far side of the car until it was neutralised. The Dude had it under controlish...!
I hope a clip goes up on YouTube! Watching her fumble with the fire extinguishers right next to her was so painful. It was like that scene in the godfather where Fredo is fumbling with his gun while the Don gets shot lol.
If the flames hadn't gone out and Morris had gotten out of the car on fire, I'm pretty sure he would've had to climb the barriers and use an extinguisher to put himself out.
Also, for next year, the race organisers should invest in a broom. Very handy.

You should bare in mind that 1. she had no fireproof overalls at all, 2. she was on an elevated part of the trackside, meaning she couldn't really aim the extinguisher at the base of the flames / underside of the car. The driver took it upon himself (who was still in his fireproof race gear) to take a fire extinguisher and attempt to put out the flames on the farside of the car, until the actual fire marshalls showed up.
According to Toto Wolff, Mercedes F1 is backing a 12-year old Italian karter. Italian motorsport.com is reporting that the karter is Andrea Kimi Antonelli.
Wow, he's too young for that. Get well Rubens!

On another note, are there any stores in London that sell F1 merchandise (t-shirts, polos, etc)? I'm not looking for anything online.

And looks like Ocon is one of the prime candidates for 2019 seat
OP

Makes the most sense.
My guess is Danny Ric stays with RBR, Leclerc moves to FER and Ocon gets the Merc seat for 2019.
Leclerc isn't getting into a Ferrari without a couple of years under his belt. That's not how Ferrari works.
Ocon needs to convincingly beat Perez on top of having his usual oconsistency to be considered for Merc before 2020.
Bottas is going to end up getting screwed, isn't he? (it's not that I blame Mercedes for wanting to have someone faster) I can't really see him coming back to Williams or switching to any of the top teams.
Getting a driver from your own junior program into the works car and winning a title is probably the only driver-related thing left to achieve for Mercedes. Red Bull and McLaren did it.
I imagine it wouldn't be any different from the hand controls used in touring cars or GT cars.
Here's Zanardi completing the final few laps at the Lausitzring where he lost his legs:
Surprised there nothing about the Grid Kids considering the massive thread about model unemployment.

It was mentioned in the grid girls thread but most posters dismiss it as catering to the privileged.
It's pointless bringing it up in there. As FriskyCanuck pointed out, most of the posters in there started going on about "catering to the privileged" without even pausing for thought.
Grandson of Formula 1 and IndyCar champion Emerson Fittipladi, Pietro will drive part time in IndyCar including the Indy 500.

He's the final Formula 3.5 V8 champion, but that season's grid never exceeded 12 drivers and those drivers are all scrubs. He basically won a glorified club racing series.

Wehrlein will return to DTM this year: https://www.motorsport.com/dtm/news/wehrlein-return-mercedes-dtm-f1-1002769/
Embratel sponsorship is why he got it. Dale Coyne Racing needed the cash.
I heard people mentioning Massa and Rosberg. There's even this theory saying that Felix Rosenqvist uses the tag "FRO" because the "ROS" might be already reserved.
