have purchased

"have" or still have to?

 

[goldfritter]

I have not followed the virtue-signalling shit-show called F1 for many many years.

However, with news that Porsche have purchased Williams, it may be in for a shake-up and actually get interesting again. If it is true.

UPDATE: Porsche buys Williams | thejudge13

thejudge13.com

Yet then we see this tripe: Lewis Hamilton demands £350m and contract till he’s 50 | thejudge13 and I figure it's still going to be a shit-show!

"have" or still have to?

"TheJudge13" is not a very reliable site, they post a lot of rumours etc. Sometimes those rumours are confirmed.

Maybe, but it does make the speed of entry a lot faster if Williams were to capitulate and sell out to one of the groups trying to make an entry (there are like 5 or something?).

I am hoping they don't, but I fear the writing is kinda on the wall for the Williams name in F1, sell out to a new entry or rebadge as some kind of Mercedes feeder team (and also part ownership), basically to flip off the new entrants (yes, I believe they are that petty).

So it seems. Pity.

Ah, more is the pity. Would've created a nice shake-up!

I believe the late Sir Frank could've been that petty, he was a rather cantankerous if brilliant character! The current owners who've taken a hiding on their $180 million investment, probably less so!

Hmmm. Interesting thread.

Any take-aways from this?

Some guys have serious talent, others have shit equipment. Some have both.

If both intersect, the stats will show it.

That's definitely one interpretation yes.

These F1 drivers are too spoilt , we need a rule that makes the drivers come into the pit and change their own tires.

Now that what i want to see ✌️😛

Out with the blankets, in with the old days of warming tyres.

 

[ImANiNja]

I got Sergio Perez.
Hoping Alonso will have a cracker this season.
But most probably RB, Merc and Ferrari battling it out for top spot again.

 

[Areola Grande]

That’s pretty cheeky 🤣

Lol I got a better chance at winning the championship than Perez and i ain't even in F1 , like Redbull will ever allow such!

 

[ImANiNja]

Not a Perez fan, meant I got Sergio in the quiz.
Nah Red bull will never allow Sergio to win the Championship, agree there.

Roses are red,
Our car is too,
Who needs a Valentine,
When you have Valtteri and Zhou?

 

[Areola Grande]

This is actually some good promo, especially aimed at new or non-F1 fans.

 

[Areola Grande]

Ah yes. From the before times.

 

[Valheru]

D-day.

Things to look forward to:

• Is the Aston hype real?
• How big were the bags of sand?
• When will the French civil war start? By race 3 or race 5?
• Can McLaren beat Williams this year?
• Can McLaren beat Alpha Tauri?
• Who will win the Latifi Award of Excellence this year?

Guys. WTF. Ferrari are making it hard to be Ferrari Fans

Could’ve been worse I guess. We’ve seen what stupidity they are capable of

 

[Areola Grande]

just wait for the race, I’m sure they have something special planned.

I wonder why Merc only went for the single run in Q3, makes no sense to me.

 

[ImANiNja]

Well not sure how Ferrari season will go, think Ferrari fans will be pulling their hair out but we might see Alonso winning a race this season.
And Perez with his cheeky comment about 3 Red Bull cars on the podium.

2nd race, 3rd engine/ECU.

I suspect the green team is smiling. A lot.
