I suppose. I can't really put myself in that position as I've been a motorsport junkie since Gilles Villeneuve did the three wheel trick at Zandvoort.
Sundays are good. No KY3(R)? Booo!
Some decent drivers signed up. Rather than gimmicks they should put more energy management into the hands of the drivers and make sure all the information is displayed on an app so the fans could see Senna 5 seconds ahead of Heidfeld but also that he's used however many Kj more etc etc.
I wouldn't say dumb (I have both kept it and returned it on different occasions), but a lot of people if they have the opportunity will look after themselves above others. It's the same with the establishment, except they play for higher stakes. It's not really a conversation about the morality of keeping overchange, unless Racer X can prove the CIA did it in the 1960s and that caused the Cuban Missile Crisis.
Or don't keep reading the thread?
I read most of it and my conclusion is invariably "So what?" Racer X makes his pithy "sunshine and lollipops" comments referencing every other member of the human race who he thinks live oblivious to the world going on around them, out of sight. I think the naive one is Racer X himself however.
I don't want a government that plays the game by the rules, only deals with nice people and doesn't have any secrets. There is no right and wrong - that is all a point of view.
Sometimes things go wrong and you end up backing freedom fighters who turn out to be terrrorists - boo hoo.
Sometimes you lie to your friends - the Lusitania is a great example, thanks for bringing that one up. Would I want my government to bring the US into the war? You bet. It's in my interest.
Power is all, the strongest survive, but power is a dangerous thing when attained as national interest can be subverted by personal interest. Hey ho, we all take advantage where we can - ever got too much change from a shop and not given it back?
Messi might be enough though.
Tonight's game has a lot to live up to.

Germany believed in their tactics, their shape, their manager and their team mates.

It's not a tickling competition. It was a tough fight but at stages you get put in a position where you have to decide to back out or crash. That's what happened to Vettel.
The crying on the raqdio was quite amusing but it was just heat of the battle stuff which they were both laughing about afterwards.

I thought Tim Howard was exceptional
It's more to do with driving style, how Vettel hit the sweet spot with the blown exhaust and how now he has struggled to change now the cars are fundamentally different. Ricciardo drove a car with much less downforce than Vettel last year and he had no preconception about what a front running car can do. Vettel was also extremely good at handling the fragile Pirellis, but they have gone more coservative now and that advantage has also been curtailed.
I think he'll figure it out. There's no question he's a top class peddler.

Agreed - looks fine. Got a lot more to worry about at the apex than slightly jagged curves!
Misleading headline, spin, extrapolation of evidence to meet the author's agenda.
Check. Check. Check.
I'm looking forward to reading Racer X's expose of his own post.

Vettel has been with Red Bull for ages, but the cars are so different I would argue that such experience is less valuable - Ricciardo is right on the money.
Raikkonen's dead funny though, so results don't matter.

Good points, as always. I do recall that in the good old days when I was racing in leagues of friends (like OWRL), practice servers would be busy but we shared setups. That has dropped away so little happens publically online, but in some ways this is also due to the obsession with GT endurance racing, as it becomes a team setup rather than a personal one, which makes it more difficult to share.
On the other hand, in real racing teams will examine TV footage, sound analysis, speed data etc to get lots of info on what other teams are doing. Maybe that goes too far in LFS now?
Not that it should be any mitigation whatsoever. You can forgive burping the national anthem (or whatever Gazza did) if it is a great player, but this puts a third step over the line.
Time for Victim FC to get their Suarez shirts out again
The Raikkonen - Alonso gap is significant
A lot will depend on how Williams treats its tyres. Given the warm up issues the undercut might not work for Rosberg so he will probably have to get past on track.
Plus the extra wear on the clutch, the extra time taken, the confusion by people having to find a grid slot with no previous reference.
Just keep cutting the aero and upping the power. Remove car to pit live telemetry except for safety related engine sensor stuff. Oh, and make all the ERS power delivery manual, like KERS.

More interested in the progress report rather than the patch - will appreciate the work done more when I get my hands on a Rift 
Depends on the car, but from tests I did I found some fuel still used. My 330d did around 600mpg downhill off throttle.
i did a back to back with my current car on the same slope. In gear it did 98mpg, coasting was 85mpg.
Coasting has an advantage of not having engine braking, so you can go faster and further without pressing the throttle. Whether that translates to lower overall mog would depend on the slope, speed and whatnot.

Me too! He was very popular at Everton during his loan spells.
He's signed a contract. If he wants to leave but City say no then he should still provide the club with £300,000 worth of effort, ability and attitude every week. If he doesn't and agitates for a move, gets his agent to run his mouth off and disrupt the squad then most clubs in the world would have to face financial reality and sell him on.
City aren't in financial reality and it would do the game good for player / agent power to be reined in every now and then as at the end of the day whether it comes via the TV companies, gate receipts or sponsors it is our money. The fans deserve a little more respect.
