2009 Car Reveal

Look, the car is fine, I guess, except for that front wing... if it were just a little narrower, you know? Like, maybe ending halfway across the tires would work... but right now, it looks like a freaking snowplow. We're definitely going to be losing wings during races...

I honestly have no clue how they think they're going to cut costs while throwing all these massive spoilers onto the cars

darkmarlin16 said:mistybear87, why didn't you hand a penalty card to ironfalcon43? That whole thing was nothing short of hate speech.

I received a penalty simply because I don't root for Ferrari or...🤷
I got flagged just for expressing my own opinion. It’s frustrating because some people are quick to throw labels at me or call me names just because I disagree with them...🤷
So, darkmarlin16, since we're all part of this community, why don't you give me some advice on how I can clear this penalty?🙂

I bet that Ferrari will be the most beautiful one again... 😉

The big reveal is this Friday in Detroit!!!

so yeah, I actually ended up getting carded

Ferrari is gonna be the absolute prettiest one out there

darkmarlin16 said:will Renault be the best looking

I’m dying to see which color they decide to leave out this time... usually, they just slap every shade imaginable on there, like some tacky canary... completely tasteless, looks like a McDonald's car. That blue 2005 R25 was easily the best-looking one... 😉

He actually did get carded.☕

ironfalcon43 said:I got flagged because I don't support Ferrari or anything...🤷
I was penalized just for voicing my opinion, yet some people get away with it even after throwing insults at me just because I don't see eye to eye with them...🤷
So, darkmarlin16, be a pal and tell me—how do I get this strike cleared?🙂

He got hit too, so quit the nonsense and stop spamming this thread.☕

I have to say, these latest car designs are just plain uninspired 🙂

Hey there, Morgan Murphy7!

And besides, when one company gives another a huge kickback for advertising? There’s always that tiny chance the director gets a little blue envelope under the table, right? 😬

People claim it’s all just a bunch of Italian drivers, right? Even back in the early 90s, the whole Formula 1 scene operated on that exact same vibe. Only difference was, the director could end up pocketing like 80% of the total cash in a blue envelope. Crazy, huh?

Anyway, if you're looking to trim those profits just to dodge some taxes, there are way more subtle and cheaper ways to go about it. I don't know much about them myself, maybe something like a sole proprietorship? 😁 Sponsorship? It’s basically just a clever way for the owner to drain the company account and slide that cash right back into their own pocket via a blue envelope. You know how it goes, right?

Not that we’re totally off-topic, but we’re definitely in the wrong subforum. Shouldn't we be over in Finance or Crime?☕

...Cheers, my friend. You are one of the few people on this forum who actually has an eye for true aesthetics...🙂

steelviper43 said:They say it’s all just a massive pack of Italian drivers, and honestly, that’s how the whole Formula 1 scene operated back around 1990 too. Only difference is, back then, you could probably slide up to 80% of the total payout straight into the director's envelope.

Look, if you’re trying to shave down your profits just to dodge some tax, there are way more subtle—and cheaper—ways to do it. I don't know anything about that stuff, though. Not even a little bit. 😁 Sponsorship isn't even about the money anymore—it’s just a way to... boss He’s just bleeding the company account dry, then sliding that cash right back into his own pocket via some shady envelope scheme.

Look, I'm not saying we're off-topic, but we've definitely wandered into the wrong subforum. At this rate, they should probably just move us over to Finance or True Crime.☕

🤣It’s pretty obvious we Americans have that special kind of brainpower. We think we know everything about how things work, and honestly? We’ve got about 10,000 different versions of every single solution ready to go. 😬 If only our managers would actually make it into Formula 1.😁 That pathetic old Bernie would’ve ended up losing more than just his money; he would’ve been left standing there without even his damn underwear.🤣

We’re usually talking about the directors here, not the owners.😉 The owner isn't going to touch a deal like that. He’d basically be tanking his own reputation and his entire company. That kind of reckless move is only ever pulled by people who can walk away without facing any actual consequences.😉

Here is another highly confidential snapshot for you all:



🤣

It’s no secret at all, I’ve actually been rocking one for a year now

Morgan Murphy7 said:these new cars look absolutely hideous 🙂

Which car are you even talking about —I mean, we've only actually seen one😉

Frank Collins85 said:And here’s a little something I found lurking in the shadows, a real deep-state secret just for you:



🤣

just look at those beers, they're practically overflowing from the kegs😍

And here comes the Ford livery... It looks terrible, as usual, though that front splitter is actually pretty interesting...
