Makes me wonder if they'll ever get it together.

Formula 1 2017 Season |OT2| A Dutch Horror Story - Sundays on Sky

Reading that makes a lot of sense now that I think about Ferrari's performance both on and off the track for the entire team over this season. Obviously, there's always been pride and a bit of arrogance on Ferrari's part due to their stature, but that sounds like a very difficult work environment to be in. If it doesn't change soon, then next year they'll go backwards, which won't help matters.
I'm not sure which part of this is funnier.
It might be the bit where he paints Vettel as a "shining light" who is "able to find peace and to raise his head above the noise to attempt to bring calm".
But no, it's probably the bit where he suggests that "It fills nobody with any delight to see what Ferrari has become".
Either way, it's good for a laugh.
I mean looking at all answers he just seems like one of the only driver who really cooks something, as in spending more than 10mn to do so, he just says it in a very Raikkonen's way

Fuck Ferrari, but at least they made this year fun. A season of Merc dominating alone but without Nico pushing Lewis would have sucked. Bottas would have got stomped and just doesn't have the confidence or skill yet.
whoopsie. I knew that I messed up something, it should be 3 instead of 2
On some other forum, a credited F1 photographer regularly post his experience from the races and Ferrari staff is very rude and unfriendly since Baku incident and you can really feel the tension in the air at their motorhome / garage. Mechanics pushing photographers, camera guys, even some journalists / guests got rude treatment on the starting grid..
nekkid
It doesn't matter who we are, what matters is our plan.
It was a bit odd reading his scathing remarks about Vettels petulant attitude, only then to comment on him being the shining light.
Ooff. Great racing. Did the other guy get a penalty?

Holy shit, that investigation popup was like 5 seconds later, that shit takes like a decade in F1
Wow, they made Hockenheim look interesting!
It sucks that the rain won't let up just a little bit, the action has been awesome when it's green.
Man what a riot
Wow.
DTM has been pretty decent this year. Hope Green didn't get penalised for that considering Glock won the battle despite being forced wide.
How come his position dropped by about 10 places? GPS/timing fuck up?
Is that Danny Ric champagne slam a new thing? All the F3 drivers were doing it on the podium at Hockenheim. Lando Norris even did a jump off the top of the podium to pop his (well he is nearly as tall as the bottle...)
They have been doing this for quite some time, RIC was the first to try it in recent F1 history
Nice. I always liked Glock.
They get one without alcohol

Yeah he did. Nicely done. Was actually damn close at the end, with Eckström and Green so close to him.

Interesting comments from Mr Button about Lewis. I don't find this surprising to be honest.
You can imagine what the atmosphere between Alonso and Hamilton was like back in 2007..

He's just being racist.

Sounds like he's describing their tough relationship as fresh WDC winners in the same team. Didn't actually say whether he doesn't like him or not and praised his perceived growth as a person since he was his team mate.
Kind of different to complaining about "too much bling or "too gangsta" or "not 'cerebral' " or other things that wouldn't normally make you dislike a person.

People go for the r word way too often, he's just explaining character traits of a typical world champion. Button is actually an exception in that group, but he only won because of the car so he doesn't really fit the profile.

I don't know, I've been called a racist for not liking Hamilton.

Much as I loathe Button, what are you on about?

I'm legit surprised nobody got this, since it was only a few pages ago.

This doesn't exactly surprise me. Lewis strikes me as a person that doesn't exactly teammate well. The rivalry with Rosberg that tanked a decades long friendship has to be evidence of this...not that that's fully Hamilton's fault. Though Lewis and Button seem to get along well enough these days, though I'm basing this on the post qauli interviews and podium interviews that I've seen with them.
DAMS to leave GP3, will be replaced by MP Motorsports - https://www.gpupdate.net/en/autosport-news/359799/mp-motorsport-to-replace-dams-in-gp3/
RBR will protest as soon they discover that Renault is using some of their (unique) ideas in 2018. And looks like they won't be the only team.
Apparently Budkowski has already seen several 2018 cars, he know engine outputs, all the gray zones that can be or already are exploited, has a inside knowledge in windtunnel / CFD configs at top teams etc. And person with such knowledge can join any team in the sport after three month gardening leave. Typical FIA.
