It is interesting that given they could've gone the Merc route with having the same PU and cooling requirements they've instead chosen to go the RB route...

Last time I was in Barcelona (the city), I had my camera bag nicked from a busy restaurant. The CCTV ‘wasn’t working’, and no interest from the police in anything other than giving me a form I could send to my insurance company - which meant no camera for months while the paperwork got sorted out.
Apart from the street harrasment, scam artists, pickpockets and thieves, Barcelona is indeed a wonderful city.

With the odd exception Spanish Police are indeed lazy b
ds.Barcelona is marginally better than Frankfurt and Paris.
Most EU cities are scuzzy, and don't get me started on Marseille

1st time I heard any racist taunting was in Barcelona. My gf at the time was black (she still is...) and some fat slob with a jack hammer was playing up the macho to his mates, shouting s
t across the street. Never heard anything like it in the decade we were together, and we went from opera (she is alto soprano) to reggae sound system dances (I dj reggae), with never a comment from anyone.
Never had much joy eating vegetarian in Spain either. Despite requests, we always found some carne had found its way onto the plate

Can’t see those helping too much with the cornering speed! (Yes, I know they’re the transport tyres, for when they put the car in the truck).

Ah, so that's what they meant when they said they wanted 18 inch wheels "to be more relevant to road cars".

Or possibly Brazil for a few years after he beat Massa to the WDC.
You'd like to think the world has moved on a bit and it wouldn't happen nowadays, at least not such a public display of s
thousery. There are still plenty of dolts frothing at the ahole from behind a keyboard, though :sad face:Nova Gyna said:
Didn't Hamilton have issues with some knuckle-draggers in Barcelona a number of years ago? I seem to recall a few people in the crowd wearing blackface, performing the monkey chant, and throwing bananas on the track.
Pretty sure it was Spain.... I recall wondering why no-one was calling for the Spanish GP to be cancelled or the fanst to be banned (IIR this was about the time football fans were being banned for racist abuse etc).....Nova Gyna said:

Beggars belief. We all know such mixed up idiots continue to exist in their qiuet little circles.. but to be openly racist and abusive in this day and age makes me question their mental state. They must know the world at large does not agree nor approve. Or even turn a blind eye these days.Or possibly Brazil for a few years after he beat Massa to the WDC.

Fastest car,

Once Perez has 40+ front row starts we can say the RB has definitely been the fastest car
