This is the discussion thread for a recent post on GTPlanet:
This article was published by Michael Leary (@Terronium-12) on March 29th, 2018 in the Formula One category.
Perhaps should be out on the track more, who knows it may help. Crazy thought I know.
What more is there to say. British and Mercedes salt is real.
How is it British salt? Considering all walks are making this claim from the F1 fandom.
National support towards Lewis Hamilton, it's not uncommon. At the Australia GP all the fans are rooting for Riciardo to be in podium. Verstappen also spawned a new line of Oranje merchandise for Red Bull for Dutch fans.
Cheering for someone is one thing, being more pathetic than soccer fanboys is another one altogether.National support towards Lewis Hamilton, it's not uncommon.

They should investigate McLaren as well while they are at it. They made a gigantic leap over the past few years and I can't figure out why.

No one is saying it's not common, what the heck does it have to do with article posted? You've basically gone out of your way to insert something related to F1 but not to the actual subject being discussed within F1, for poo and giggles. Would you like to talk about the article instead???
Actually to me theres a point here. Might not be Ferrari pushing Haas but F1 helping them instead as they are trying to make F1 big in America.
And you have very good reasons to doubt it. I don't think Ferrari will give anything to RedBull and/or Toro Rosso anytime soon, not even if they pay twice the price.One flukey race is not enough to understand what is going on here. I agree Haas may well fall down the pack for several reasons. But it is undeniable that the Ferrari engine and front suspension that the customer is getting, this year, is well and truly up to the job.
Isn't Red Bull up for contract renewal with Renault? Wouldn't they like a Ferrari engine, totally same spec as the factory team? Somehow I doubt Ferrari would do that.
Whoever is not driving a Mercedes or not being Max Verstappen.Welcome to Formula One in 2020
"Whoever wins a race, gets a 50 Grid place penalty from the FIA and is under investigation. If the same Driver who won the race, did the fastest lap, then he'll be disqualified for cheating"
Please not.
There is a Halo on the 2018 cars, none in 2017-and that's the Ferrari the paddock and press are saying Haas copied, not the 2018 car.
The way Haas have arrived in F1 is a model for the future success of the series.
Unfortunately it wasn't a British or EU team that came up with it, so here we are.

Afaik the chassis is made by a 3rd party Dallara, wind tunnel tested in the Ferrari tunnel. Engine, gearbox, suspension is Ferrari.
Surely a fair bit of Ferrari but who would blame McLaren, Red Bull etc for using Renault engine,gearbox and suspension?
Besides Alonso claimed their car was the fastest if it wasn't for the Honda engine. So surely they are gonna beat red bull this year..
As for the 2017 car not having a Halo so how is the 2018 a copy of the 2017...easy, it's not something hard to add and readjust, and considering each car in 2017 at some point tested the halo, finding an image of the mock up and trying to redo would be simple.
Not easy to add nor readjust. 2017 test halos were just mockups build on top of the body. Now for 2018 they had to plan the entire frame below the bodywork to integrate halo and make it withstand something like 20000kg of force..
No they weren't, the one on the Ferrari is an integrated system, that was taken out with the paneling to put back in the regular look after they tested it.
Kg isn't a unit of force so not sure where you're getting your info.
No, the monocoque was a 2017 monocoque. Halo goes right through the monocoque design in 2018.
Surely you're just being sniffy now? The majority of people think of kilos as weight rather than mass and are likely to express ideas of force in a similar way. Perhaps it's different in the US but in Europe when you use a Kg as a weight you're implying gravitational force on a mass... either way I'm sure you were able to extrapolate his idea from what he said.
