Motorsport Off Topic Thread

I just got an email from the receiver for Manor F1:

Further to your recent enquiries I can confirm that we are still in the process of producing a full catalogue for the Online Auction; your interest has been logged and your email address added to our database. As soon as I have further information I shall forward the same on to you.

It will be interesting to see what comes up, I just hope the prices don't get hiked up so high like the Caterham auctions.

Zak Brown on record saying that McLaren won't win a race in 2017. Seems an odd way to support title sponsor negotiations for 2018, but perhaps he's just being both realistic and setting expectations low. Certainly a different approach to Ron Denis promising the moon.

A bit of honesty at last! Think everyone was sick and tired of McLaren making ridiculous promises. Late last year they were saying they were targeting third.

I get that you need to set targets and motivate your staff but setting ludicrous targets which you'll never achieve just sets everyone up to fail.
 
What the actual...

I mean, I'm all for more colours, but it's not even a BWT colour (their website is blue and white without a hint of pink).

It ought to stand out a bit more, but that was unexpected in the traditionally stale world of F1.
 
^ True, but it's their chosen livery in DTM too, so there's a reason for keeping it uniform I guess for brand awareness.
 
That must be the first pink F1 card since the Yardley McLaren.

I hate when the drivers change their helmet colours to match the sponsors though. Makes it a real pain to spot them.
 
FI livery looks awesome.

But then I'm the guy that made his whole team play a contact sport in pink for 4 years. Was fun when teams would take the mick about out kit, then get their asses handed to them.
