poty posted:This is like complaining that our Murray doesn't win enough Grand Slams. When all the european tennis players are doping, it's hard to win even if you're the best It isn't even remotely comparable. Murray is a certifiably British piece of poo poo that can't compete because he is loving useless, despite whatever loving bullshit the BBC insists with their dipshit hand-wringing. UK car companies may be foreign owned, but design and construction remains in the UK and they look a loving sight better than anything that has come out of Germany in the past 10 years. BMW, Mercedes, Audi-Volks-Borghini-Skoda-Porsche-whatever-the-gently caress-else all look like overworked LED christmas trees. It's depressing that people buy six figure Lambos when they take all their design cues from some 2 litre diesel shitbox PCP catnip VW Golf. I mean, I get that Aston Martin have been designing each new model with tracing paper for the last decade, but at least it still looks good. At least the Jag XFR looks drat good and characterful, even if it doesn't beat an E43 Merc or M5 BMW in a straight line. But whatever, everybody's entitled to their opinion and I'm as full of poo poo as the next toilet.

He's won three majors in an era containing three of the greats of his sport. That's a bit less useless than, say, someone winning three titles using superior equipment (and still managing to come second in a one horse race)

The issue with British cars was almost never how they looked, it was more that they could've been built and assembled by Helen Keller and have better build quality.

Wow... many people are saying that Bottas is getting the Mercedes seat as reward for his part in his manager Toto Wolff's conspiracy to steal the WDC from Lewis. I can't say if that's true but after seeing this video maybe the FIA should investigate? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFG0KEsscOU

The Reliant Robin went faster on it's side. Sheffield in the 80s was littered with the them. Bikers used to buy them as a winter drive and then would end up walking anyway as the silly things couln't make it up the hills in bad weather.

I mean it wouldn't be F1 without Ferrari throwing a tantrum about technology they were to slow and stupid to implement themselves. “Aerodynamics are for people who can’t build engines.”
