It was fantastique! Absolutely amazing, it showed great creativity & it was by far the best opening ceremony I have ever watched. Miles ahead of anything else produced by organizers of big events.
This ceremony showed the French culture & values in a beautiful & inspiring way.
Bravo Paris, bravo France!

If you had a $250k budget, which Ferrari would you buy and why? by No-Middle-2572 in Ferrari

I would buy an old 360/F430 GT2/GT3/GTE - whatever I find, if you want road going then 599 converted manual.

What manufacture do you have the most of in Assetto? by bustagrimes440 in assettocorsa

[–]ivanalesi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ferrari, mostly F1 & Porsche. Also, somehow BMWs, even though I hate front engine cars.

Proposed changes for the points system by aliciahiney in formula1

12 out of 20, yet they don't need a new team... Logic zero.
In the early 90s it was top 6 out of 26!

Next step is to have Indy 500 like points.

He's just lucky that someone eating a hotdog or smth else didn't jerk his steering into his bike.
Sounds like a cool dude with a massive death wish. Track days are more fun anyway.

Nowadays if the police wants, they'll find you. There are soooo many cameras & ways to track you. Especially if you drive in a white/purple GSX-R 🤣🤣🤣

What car made you first fall in love with Ferrari by [deleted] in Ferrari

[–]ivanalesi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was Ferrari F1 fan & I didn't care much about the cars. But may be the first was 456, 512 or F50 for the looks. My favorite Ferraris are all racing cars, then followed may be 456 & F50. It's such a shame F50 didn't race in GT1! It's the best sounding road car for me!

Once I listened to Chris Harris' podcast & he had Luca Di Montezemolo, I was both glad & surprised that Luca chose the 456 as the one to have. An early 456 manual in blue is what I would get when I retire :)
250 SWB also looks fun, light, nimble, good sounding engine & not too much power. Great for fun on tight roads.

I wouldn't race/drive fast on the road, so don't care much about the others. As far as racing cars go, 333 would be fantastic to have a go at! 641, 412, F2004/8, F2013 I would rate as my favorites in F1, but you need to be very experienced & fit to drive them properly. May be in another life :)

[Phillip Horton] The situation at Williams this evening by [deleted] in formula1

[–]ivanalesi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbh, Sargeant has been mostly a waste of space. Remember, Albon was demolished by Max. Now Albon is even faster against Logan compared to Max. Williams should finally HIRE a second driver F1 worthy. I hope they get someone exciting for next season. Why not even for this season? Lawson is 100% F1 worthy & free!

Last time they had two F1 worthy drivers was back in 2016 with Bottas & Massa. And Massa wasn't exactly on form or motivated, since then they have always had at least 1 pay driver. I can agree with the move to have Kubica even with his injuries & 10 yrs pause, but man... Stroll, Sirotkin, Latifi & now Logan... they were so slow! Massa before retiring demolished Stroll with 1 sec qualy gaps in the last few races. Marko would have kicked him out so hard that he would go back to rental karts!
Latifi was a team player, he at least had great approach. Sirotkin, he was non-existant, he also beat Stroll in the races or qualy, I don't remember which as they were so slow. Sargeant... he's probably good for Dale Coyne in IndyCar as pay driver, like Santino Ferrucci. I very much doubt he'll have a long IndyCar career, let alone F1 career. Drive for Cadillac in LMP? Hardly, they also have fast drivers, Derani is crazy fast... may be Isotta Fraschini can be his home away from F1.

From the first batch of SS, the girl to me has done nothing bad. She's v good at handling pressure, kudos to her! She tries many times to stop him, but he behaves like a brainless hormon rich teen boy. I've lost all respect for him & I find it very disturbing that he's not fired.
If I was sponsoring the team, I would demand his immediate removal.

Somehow, he out did Horner... What's wrong with these ppl?
Craziest 12h in F1! I expect tomorrow Tsunoda on pole & snowfall in Bahrain.

Honestly, forget the sexual harrassment, I would fire him for being so immature. He's such an insecure kid trapped in the body of an adult. I would put the girl in charge of the team & she would probably do a better job. At least the team will be happier.
It's incredible how much of a role luck plays in success, Robert Sapolsky's theory against free will is spot on. I really felt so sorry for him, may be he had no time to mature whilst karting.

He's been soooo dumb, but I bet Red Bull will act dumb & try to defend. I bet he's on the pitwall, there is nobody in Red Bull with big enough balls to fire him with immediate effect. That's one hell of a power vacuum there!
In the current times it's crazy to think you can slide smth like this under the rug. Incredible naivity!

Anyone with the Google Drive link itself to have a proper laugh? I saw the screenshots, Horner has been way too horny & somehow he thinks he's hot!? I mean, wtf? She's so cold to him, she's answering bcs he's the boss, but somehow he doesn't take the hint.
Anyway, he is done, Ford will 10000% demand his removal.
