2015 FORMULA 1 CHINESE GRAND PRIX

[FaultyMario]

Ok, news.

Mateschitz seriously wants to take his $400M elsewhere.
Chinese fans are a bit annoying to drivers. They swarm around their hotels, but don't come to the race.
Mercedes will up their game, to show who's boss.


Yeah, no poll.

[LHutton]

Especially annoying when they run across the track in practice.

Vettel fastest so far.

[Crazed_Insanity]

Ham is back on top now. Even Kimi's faster than Vettel now! Hope Kimi can show Vettel what he's made of this time around...

RB also seems to be doing better... along with McLaren.

Shouldn't be a boring season this year I hope...

[Kchrpm]

I want it to be exciting...but with Lewis winning everything ;)

[LHutton]

And they have V6s, so it doesn't even sound good.:smh:

[Crazed_Insanity]

V-6 sounds bad? What about V-0?

I think formula E's high pitch sound could be awesome if they could just amplify it more! Maybe fans can just wear special ear muffs that produces the artificial sounds that you should hear based on your position relative to each car's position... ;)

[FaultyMario]

This thread too?

What the hell, man?

V-6 sounds bad? What about V-0?
The V8 was about perfect for me. Optimal 90-deg V angle for stiffness, engine performance and CoG. Great noise, unrestricted rpm as per 2006.

Stay on topic clown. This pertains to the Chinese GP. You want to talk about engines, take it to the generic thread you thick headed baboon.

You can now get 1000/1 (https://twitter.com/GrandPrixDiary/status/586872435754020865) on a McLaren win. The same odds as on Bono becoming next Pope.

Benny Hill does F1 car recovery (https://twitter.com/harrismonkey/status/587158414628913152)

Smooth work by the marshals there. Is Maldonado helping them? (https://twitter.com/EliGP/status/587158420551294976)

That is going to be on every F1 blooper reel for the next 50 years. (https://twitter.com/FormulaThoughts/status/587158862962167808)

Max Verstappen's car is expected to be removed from the track in time for the Bahrain Grand Prix #F1 (https://twitter.com/wtf1couk/status/587158949461360640)

[CudaMan]

Things would have gotten spicy if that Torro Rosso had blown up about 5 laps earlier. Where was Vestappen (sic) running when he done blowed up? In the points I seem to recall.

[Tom Servo]

Looks like Verstappen was running P8 at the time, so yeah, in the points.

[CudaMan]

I seem to recall he was using the rev limiter with some frequency whenever we saw his on-boards. Related? We will never know...

[FaultyMario]

Care to expand, B?

[CudaMan]

My thought is perhaps the latest Renault ICE doesn't take kindly to being on the rev limiter.

[MR2 Fan]

so its official, 2 renault blow-ups in 1 race....not good for further partnership resolution

We missed her for the Chinese GP :( #CarmenInLove (https://twitter.com/f1writers/status/588234833173807105)

[FaultyMario]

Yeah, Jordá talents do wonders for women drivers.


Think a new thread is needed for Bahrain? It's been honestly dissapoint.
