Lol! That's a good one! Or maybe they can swap drivers during pit-stops.

No that's so officials can ride along to be able to impose sanctions more swiftly.

It's going to be a very special atmosphere in the Sauber garage this week end lol .
All the team will hate him, i'm thinking about all the laps Nasr made during the tests...i'm wondering if they will let him change the tires alone

Sauber having to honour the contract they signed?
That can't possibly be right.

This just in from sniff petrol.com

"A motorist in Australia got a shock today as they returned to their car to find the driver’s seat already occupied by Dutch racing driver Giedo van der Garde.

‘He said I’d promised him a go in my car and wouldn’t get out,’ explained Steve-o Wilson-o, 36, of Melbourne. ‘So I had to let him, then as soon as we set off he swerved into the next lane and hit another car. He said it was because he’d been promised a place on that bit of road, then he asked where my house was and what my wife was like.’

Sources in Australia say van der Garde has been making a nuisance of himself in this way since arrived in the country two days ago, sitting on the lap of another man on the plane after claiming he’d been promised seat 14B.

‘This is a really awkward situation,’ said Sauber driver Marcus Ericsson speaking exclusively to Sniff Petrol on the phone. ‘Hold on, I’m out for dinner. The waiter is just showing us to our tabl… oh for God’s sake.’"

This is the first start of the year for F1 that I've ever been bummed out about. I'm not even sure if I'm going to watch the "race", it's just such a waste of time.

954Stealth,

Please be reminded that where possible, post more pictures of celebrities or people of note or as always, really glamorous ladies in the F1 threads of Bimmerpost.

This is not so much a sporting matter but a part of the show business of Formula One

954Stealth · 03-12-2015, 04:34 PM

Mtxzptlk I will do my best to comply although I think it is the responsibility of all members that frequent the motorsport section to do their due diligence with this.

954Stealth · 03-12-2015, 04:36 PM

If anyone is interested, I posted up all the current helmet designs here:

Anyone want the full SkySports schedule? Too bad you're getting it anyway

954Stealth · 03-12-2015, 05:25 PM

And take this track profile too while you're at it

As a Mercedes fan, I hope they murder the entire field and of course Lewis drop kicks Nico.

FormulaMMM · 03-12-2015, 06:14 PM

This, all season looooong.

FormulaMMM · 03-12-2015, 11:05 PM

Hint of real Ferrari performance in P1? Hope so. I think seb actually topped the speed trap when the session ended.

+1

I can't stand Nico. I honestly smiled every time the crowd would boo his pointless post-race podium speeches. I'm a big Hamilton guy. Hopefully he can stay focused and keep his off-track distractions minimal.

Mtxzptlk · 03-13-2015, 03:37 AM

FP2 looked pretty bad for Mclaren.

They sure weren't kidding about not being competitive at the start of the season.

Looks like there were filling in for Caterham based on their gap to the front runners. =(
