I firmly believe Alonso would be in WDC contention if this McLaren had any non-Honda engine. That's kinda why I think he'll stay next year for sure - either Honda's updates work and they prove they're figuring it out, or McLaren switches engines. Either way, I think he's in a good position.

Alonso has a likable personality, but I can't tell if that's just because he's not a one dimensional piece of poo poo like the rest of the field. But I don't see how he's better than a Sato or someone similar. It also doesn't change the fact he's not a good driver. If he was in another racing series with actual personalities he'd probably be forgotten. Spaced God fucked around with this message at 03:47 on Apr 9, 2017 |

Seven teams made it to the top ten in qually which strikes me as pretty good and bodes well for the midfield fight. Especially since there seem to be some big disparities between teammates this year too. I think this might be Toro Rosso's year just based on the combined competency of sainz and kvyat.

"I have a very negative feeling about driving the car and driving it on the limit and so on. Therefore I didn't have a single run or a single lap that I felt comfortable or reasonably confident. I am uncomfortable in the car. It all feels wrong. We changed the seat and the wheel, but even so I was already asking for more room. Going back to when we raced at Estoril last September (on testing the passive Williams at the same track 4 months later), it feels much more difficult. Some of that is down to the lack of electronic change. Also, the car has its own characteristics which I'm not fully confident in yet. It makes you a lot more tense and that stresses you" Holy crap Senna didnt like the FW16. edit: this video is awesome https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjbrFBE4x8A

1500quidporsche posted:Crashing out of four consecutive races is a peak?? 3 and he died on the 3rd one. Also from some documentaries I saw of the era, Williams was badly affected by the active suspension bans compared to other teams that year and it took them a while to catch up. If he hadn't died in Italy, by the time Williams got their poo poo together, all other things being equal, he'd probably have won the WDC that year. Especially when you consider : Rev. Dr. Moses P. Lester posted:In a car so good that Their Damon nearly beat Schumacher in it Yeah but come on, Schuey got DSQ'd for 2 races and didn't race in 2 others. That's 40 points free to Hill under the old scoring system, and he still lost.

Yes it is. It's a toss up between the Ferrari 355 and the NSX for peak 90's sports car for me, with the NSX possibly edging ahead if only because I might plausibly own one. At least until they achieve proper collector status and the prices go from 5 figures to 6.

If I had to guess: Ferrari was kind of meh as a team through most of the 80's and early nineties. It wasn't until Brawn, Todt, Schumacher and Byrne got together that Ferrari became properly successful again. It makes sense when you consider Williams and McLaren's success trajectories through the 80's and early/mid 90s.

I almost sat in one once, and i don't mean i was almost allowed to, i mean i was allowed to and tried. They are very not big man friendly.

He refused to sign for Ferrari and they were essentially under heavy control by the Sicilian Mafia after their attempted expansion into Northern Italy and the Sicilian Don at the time took Senna's refusal as a personal insult so the Sicilians pretty much forced certain Ferrari mechanics to sabotage the Williams overnight before the race with the help of some paid off track officials in Imola. Life sentences for a lot of them that were caught after a long drawn out trial. The early 90s in Italy was pretty hosed up. Courtney Love killed Kurt Cobain.

6'2 and the only car I couldn't squeeze into was a BMC Mini, I drove the Scirocco with the full knowledge that I was going to break both my legs in a crash though.

Is this rivals thing actually an issue or is it a monkey and ladder type situation where one guy didn't like it and it became a rule that everyone enforced and didn't know why, because i would think these days most people have never heard of or been to it.

I almost want to give you him, with a waffle photoshopped as a face avatar as punishment. But you'll have to deal with Chloe! Real talk: rivals thing, but at least it was amusing (and original, unlike the 9001st time someone goes "poois shamilton").
