You know, the Mclaren actually looks pretty decent from this angle.



Even the orange isn't as sickly brown as it usually is.

Bad: discussing politics.

Good: Discussing two stroke era MotoGP. I'm watching the 2000 500cc championship, about midway through and Rossi's rise to championship contender is ridiculously impressive. I'm shocked at the power curve of the bikes though, some of riders look like they're riding a bull through corners instead of a bike. Was the big bang effect still a thing at that point?

Somebody needs to link Villeneuve desperately trying to take the lead of the 98 Canadian Grand Prix (From Fisi I think) and absolutely blowing it. That's what really wrote him off for me.

That Williams was a loving pile to be fair. Him wrecking from the lead in 1997 was far more embarassing.

I would guess that at least half the teams only have one chassis at the test. they're very good at changing the one or two stickers for the car number depending on the driver.

I'm assuming they all take one chassis (with maybe a replacement), and interchange the race seats, or is there a rule to only allows one driver for each team at a time on track

People don't hate Ferrari. The English hate Ferrari. So Sky TV, all their ex-WDCs.. this thread.. basically anywhere you find English F1 fans you'll find the Ferrari hate.

For a long time Ferrari was the only team on the grid that didn't call itself English. Certainly the only team at the pointy end of the competition.

Now the English have nothing, they have no engine so their great teams now beg for scraps from Renault and the McLaren is orange.

Vettel was always shat on by the English fans, often for little more than being German.

It's straight up racism baked into 'tradition' so people just roll with it. I think at one point there was a protest from English teams about Ferrari talking Italian over the radio because they couldn't understand it.

Make no mistake, this is as old as F1 and there are some very deep 'chips on shoulders'.

That's basically it. I'm not trying to spark an argument or rag on English folk, but as an Italian Ferrari fan I can tell you that's how I feel about it. It runs very deep!

edit: oh of course, Americans that follow English into the sport (because Anglosphere) sort of pick it up along the way like it's just known F1 stuff.
