Sorry m8, here to talk about F1, not really into looking at photos of men in toilets.
Maybe try Heat magazine forums? They might be into that sort of discussion.

I see the Williams is on the front of F1 magazine this morning. On my phone so someone else can link the image, plenty on twitter

Looks like the Williams has got a rear-fin setup; didn't the FIA attempt to get rid of those?

Hes an F1 driver but what he does off track has little to do with the sport if anything tbh.
In the same way im not fussed/interested if one of my football teams players chooses to mince about in clubs drinking fairy drinks whilst wearing questionable clothing, so long as he plays well, what Lewis does/dresses like off track doesnt interest me so long as he continues to be the best british driver and one of the top 3 drivers in the sport. *insert lots of smilies here*

It's completely balls but no team tried to contest or overturn the ruling so its now been implemented.

Of course it does, everything a sports-person does outside of their profession has an impact on themselves, the sport and their performance within the sport. Being an F1 driver doesn't change that 
Either way, i'm not sure why you're getting your panties in a twist? Hamilton posted photos that make him appear to be a bit of a twat, people laughed, the end 
Lots of rumours floating around that Sam Michaels will be replacing Martin Whitmarsh as Team Principal - i know Ron is not a fan of Whitmarsh and wants rid but you'd think he'd replace him with someone worthy

Anyway, back to proper F1 stuff.
Good tech write up by Scarbs in AS about the New Williams
http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/112240
And a nice video about the workings of the Renault Engine
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vIjJg0lXgc&feature=youtu.be
And

F1 2015 new rules prohibit tyre heating devices
Be fun watching cars going out on stone cold tyres

Fuck sake, Sam Michaels I ask myself! He was shit at Williams then shit at McLaren so lets promote him to Team Principal even though the outstanding candidate is out of work.

What the fuck are you on about JJ? And why are you being so defensive?
I've mentioned squat about his fashion (rather i mentioned how he's a twat for taking a selfie in a toilet) and i'm not the only one here taking the piss (note - Ben G posted the tattoo pic)
Clearly the internet is too much for some

Ron really must hate Whitmarsh to do this
If it's true, then hopefully he's only keeping the seat warm for Brawn; although it makes the season a complete write-off

Info on 2014/2015 changes -
http://motorsport.nextgen-auto.com/FIA-proposes-new-2014-2015-rules-but-keeps-double-points,71645.html?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter&utm_term=%23formula1
With regards to the removal of tyre heaters, that's if it goes ahead, safety is obviously always an issue and i don't doubt it'd be a bit hair-raising for drivers with the current tyres. But Pirelli already mentioned a while back (perhaps a few years ago when this idea was floating around) that they'd change the compounds to counter this. So i think it's a bit of a non-issue - unless Pirelli well and truly fuck it up, in which case it could be interesting
Edit - Peter Windsor's The Racers Edge series is back with a new episode (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ToTvBLQsk3g).
Also worth watching his chat with Scarbs about 2014 changes - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DjLruCcmQ1U

Love how doms getting a bashing even though he didn't post the tattoo pic
Banning tyre heating devices sounds exciting. Good rule change for the fans imo. I'm sure the teams will find a way around this though.
may have to pay the £22 a month for sky sports, now it's all been shaken up (until race 6 when red bull steam ahead).

Boullier leaves Lotus and looks set for Mclaren. Would be a good appointment imo, far better than Michaels. Lotus on on the other hand are fucked. Unlucky Pastor...

That would be a good move for McLaren, he seems like a sensible sort of person.

McLaren launch in 10 minutes; let's see if they go with something other than the 'finger' nose - http://www.mclaren.com/formula1/car/

Didn't see that coming (that's if it is true; had three TP rumours in 24hrs) Certainly a lot, lot better than Michael's but i still think Brawn would be a better bet - let's hope for 2015.
Although that does now mean Lotus are proper fucked with Lopez in charge

Nose is a bit phallic but it doesn't look too bad, could certainly be worse i guess

its interesting to see they flare out the sides of the nose so they are creating a funnel effect in the middle.

Lotus have tweeted theirs too, gone for a "double finger" approach.
