Grand Prix Rejects

Oh man? Okay I change my second nomination from Bottas to Putin. Putin still doesn't beat Ericsson for me. /// I'm afraid this is my last post on this forum. /// Look mate, this award is never meant to be nor serious, neither offensive. There was a Korean GP when most of us went and voted the Jeep ...

To me, it sounds pretty awkward to nominate Vladimir Putin to IIDOTR. Why? Because it's Infinite Improbability Drive of the Race. Putin didn't drive. He didn't? Wasn't he the one of the yellow helmet in the Mercedes? I was pretty sure he was bound to take over from Hamilton in the race. Did you see...

Putin didn't drive.

So... McLaren?

I assume.

1. Marcus Ericsson. He's just puzzling me - did he suddenly find his talent box he's been searching for throughout his career?
2. Valtteri Bottas

solarcold

Taking my risk of being booed, I want to nominate: 1. Felipe Massa (I don't know, tha was just weak) 2. Everyone in Caterham but Ericsson (for obvious reasons) DHM. Those whining about the dullness of the race. Seriously, it was less intriguing than average, but calling it the dullest race of the se...

Oh, I see.
No support of Unicode... In a modern world it's a waste

I wanted to post my prediction in Russian just for fun, but this forum doesn't support Cyrillic script. This life is a waste.

Heresy, heresy! Oh, wait, wrong forum... Good idea, really good idea!

Bottas is amazing. Kvyat is amazing. Ericsson is amazing. What is happening to this guy? I mean, he's getting fast, no?

Marussia fined 500 €: overspeeding by Max.

Saw FP1 delayed (recorded at home). Saw the Olympic Torch/cauldron thing from several cameras round the track. Might have been nice if they had that lit during the GP weekend with both Michael Schumacher and Jules Bianchi in mind. Well that's good and symbolic thing, though it's not something that ...

Well, that was pretty expected. I hope he has a good debut regardless the way he has entered the F1.

I've just heard Kvyat's interview after the soccer match between racers and Russian celebrities... His Russian language sounds soooo foreign after years in Europe!

When I started watching Formula 1, I could not possibly imagine I would ever witness a race held in our country. Formula 1 was very alien to Russia back then; we loved it but we were separate from it. Then it came - MTS sponsoring Sauber, Zlobin being a tester for Minardi (and the infamous Gazprom s...

solarcold

Yes, I think this thread is a good idea. Me and my girlfriend were shocked when we acknowledged what happened. At first I was pretty sure the "J. Bianchi" lable on the beneath the Sutil's car was just a mistake. I hope Jules recovers soon.

It's still available at russian vk.com. For now it's the only direct footage of the accident and it would leak anyway. Horrific footage. It didn't seem to be when I tried looking for it 5 minutes ago. I'm almost glad I couldn't find it when I tried looking for it just now. But it's sad how many cli...

Honda be it.

DHM to people complaining about drivers complaining.
Today's wet tires producs much more vapor. Therefore, the visibility in the rainy conditions decreases. What was "fine to race" before is not fine anymore.

solarcold

Calm down please. If my opinion would have any value - here it is. I visit the russian Internet every day, I watch Russian TV occasionally, I know what the mood here is. If you're here, if you absorb this information here, you understand that " Russia has no military forces in Ukraine, it only ...

Id like to ask Solarcold, if he/she is still knocking about, what's the view in his/her area of Russia about the forthcoming race? Hey, I'm he and I'm here nearly on a daily basis, although I'm a rare poster. Russians have a generally positive view on the forthcoming race. Russian F1 fans are just ...

solarcold

Just a couple of words from a Russan mouth I certainly don't like Russian anti-gay attitude and Russian religion. But does it really have to do with Olympics? Similarily, does Russian policy (which is probably not as bad as described in your media) really have to do with F1? I doubt that. Don't mess...

Now that cryptography is banned, there's still such awesome thing as steganography. Nico, if you ask me something like "is my fuel ok" or "should I race him" and I answer "I CAN'T TELL YOU THAT", that would mean YES, but if I answer "I SHOULD NOT TELL YOU THAT"...

I don't get it. I know Max is pure talent but... HOW?!

Well, it's a Romanian Ferrari dealer, and Colles is involved, right?

Sources say, the title of the second contender is "Forza Rossa".

During years of its existence, Marussia has actually sold FOUR cars.

solarcold

I'll keep updating here once I get new info

UPD: Okay, Russian TV news suggest that officially Marussia still exists as a brand, but all the engineers and staff are fired or transferred to aforementioned NAMI, so that's pretty complicated, but really sounds like an end to Marussia Motors to me.

solarcold

I'm an optimist. I really believe there are people who can manage remaining friends even in such conditions.
I don't know if Nico and Lewis are the likes of such people, but I seriously hope so. Those two are a great pair.

solarcold

UPDATE: The very source of this info is a forum message, supposedly written by a member of the company's staff. Here's the rough translation. Marussia's over. Staff is fired (no salary for last 2 months), some of them transferring to NAMI (Central Scientific Research Auto Motor Institute). They say,...

Some news from Russia. Marussia Motors is shut down, all of the staff is fired.

Some news from Russia.

Marussia Motors is shut down, all of the staff is fired without pay for at least last two months. No more info available yet.
