He's only 3 seconds a lap faster against cars that aren't cheating like Mercedes, everything else was down to him though :rolleyes:

Then he wins and I'll be mildly annoyed that people will continue thinking he's some super Senna until he leaves the Red Bull marketing sphere ala Vettel. Life will go on.

Or moves to Are Ron's Manor Project 5 after his Red Bull WDC and wins his second WDC. :catbert:

YOU SPEAK OF THE PROPHECY

Can you hear the brums Fernando?
I remember long ago another race weekend like this
In the spotlight Fernando
You were brum-brumming to yourself and softly stroking your long hair
I could hear the distant brums
And sounds of motor cars were coming from afar

As a movie it's complete poo poo. It has a crap storyline, very dated kitschy editing, and bad music. But that puts it above Le Mans which has no story at all. Grand Prix has easily the best cinematography of any racing movie ever made though, just ahead of Le Mans, which makes it worth watching to racing enthusiasts. The camera work is stunning.

So when exactly are people allowed to get excited about things drivers do?
When they're beautiful like Nando. Not when they're ugly like Max.

Yes, I forgot to mention that Grand Prix is atrocious as a movie. You're watching it for the racing scenes, which are unquestionably amazing. And hell, the "plot" is just a way to get from race to race.

Last time we had this conversation ITT you eventually concluded that Max wasn't good at Brazil, every one else was bad.

Like the mental lengths you will go to in order to avoid saying "i still don't like him but that was good" are staggering.

You're absolutely right I said he took two turns better than anybody else. So just to wrap this argument up and put it to bed, I'm the guy capable of finding something good in somebody that I'm overly critical of and you're the guy who alternates between "it doesn't matter how fast he is, he's a sensational overtaker" and "he's 3 seconds a lap faster than anybody else" depending on what you're trying to argue. Have I got that right?

I was referring to his theoretical lady friend.

Edit: I'm cautiously optimistic, but the phantom of Kmag is still present in my mind. I didn't think he'd win in Super Formula though and he did so he's already up on my expectations.
