Dudley posted:Ford aren't in WRC really, they're vaguely supportive but the program is run and funded by M-Sport. The other 3 are all full works programs. The full factory teams are what makes rally really good imo. Audi, Subaru and Mitsubishi coming back would be great.

McLaren should just run one car as a cost saving measure. I mean, neither car would finish the race, so may as well save the millions it'd cost to replace a power unit.

Yearly Update Request: Which teams and drivers are cool and which should I scoff about? I like Max and im sticking with that lil dude forever, but the rest I'd rather be fed the correct opinion. Thanks in advance!

Theophany posted:I really dig the cameras on the roll hoops of Indy cars, swivelling as they overtake. That's rad and F1 should do it. They can be nice, but sometimes you get the operator pointing them in a weird direction, so it's a double edged sword there.

Best swivelcam moment I think was the camera swivelling backwards in sync with an overtake so it looked like a dickheadish turn and wave back as you pass

Yeah idiots you have to give 100% to F1 becuse you're not as good as Fernando. Also you haven't been putting around in a GP2/F2 level car for 3 loving years.

It's a really weird role reversal to have McLaren be the fun team and the rest of the grid being the stogey old man. I guess they really are aiming to go back to the Pre-Ron era.

When reached for comment, Alonso's biggest rival, the MCL32, stated that it still plans to attend Monaco regardless of Alonso's decision, but could not say for how long.

LOL, the best disorganized pile of desperation and mediocrity, glued together with "tradition", yes they are. A lot less support than I would have thought for Alonso. I get if you're an actual contender for WDC, you wouldn't want to miss a race. If you think you can pull a few points for your midfield team (or your young career), you'll try to do the best you can every race. But in Alonso's case, his car is 60% likely going to fall apart before the race is over, and he's got nothing to prove as far as looking for a seat in F1. I think it's a perfect fit for him, I just hope he puts in enough practice to be competitive in the 500.

Like it or not, Ferrari and their fans are the beating heart of the sport. Like 1/3 of the fans at any European GP are just Ferrari fans and give almost no shits as to who drives the car. If Ferrari up and left the sport tomorrow, a hollow shell would remain. If their fan reactions don't give you goosebumps sometimes you probably have no soul.

I kinda think he initially asked for LeMans or was approached by Toyota and the idea of a Honda driver eating poo poo in F1 and then winning LeMans in a Toyota probably didn't play well so they offered him Indy instead.

Hulkenberg parachuted into a team that was absolutely going to win Le Mans barring some freak accident so to act like he accomplished some mammoth task winning it is just insane.
