Let's play a game. Who has more points? Current Renault driver Nico Hulkenberg or former Renault, now Haas driver Kevin Magnussen? K-Mag, 4-0

Human Grand Prix posted:Name another team that has been as consistently good as they have. I expect I'll be waiting here a long time. In all seriousness, they are certainly the most prolific. At 933 races entered, They're over 100 more than McLaren, almost 300 more than Williams, and teams like Sauber, Brabham, Lotus, and Tyrell are all in the 400's. Having that much of a presence means they're likely to have a good chunk of successful results in the series. I can see the attraction to a team with that much history, and I can't deny that they really are a big part of F1. I'm sure someone somewhere has modeled an overall "points per season" success list, which would be skewed, but interesting to see who is best in that sense, and in overall history regardless of years participating. But, current Ferrari has been a bit of a mess, although they're looking very good this year. Every team has up and down swings, it's just fun to point and laugh when they do things like "all Italian engineers" or make comically bad strategy calls. As it is for Red Bull. Or *sniff* McLaren.  The more successful a team is, the more likely someone is going to enjoy watching them struggle.

AMuS is saying Ferrari is pulling something with the rear bargeboards. There's noticeable bulges in them on both sides and Ferrari had a bunch of temp sensors around that area in testing. Also that they might be pulling some trick with the rear wing since it has two center struts while everyone else has one and it aerodynamically doesn't make sense to go with two. Exciting times.

I'm really glad I didn't see this thread during the peak Schumacher years, the Ferrari banana riding would've been insufferable. ...or seeing the backlash to first Red Bull and now Mercedes, maaaaaybe not.

There wasn't a huge backlash against Mercedes, I think a large part of that was just letting their drivers race. Red Bull were (and still are) legitimately insufferable.

F1 is not like endurance racing. The Hulk did a very good job. I'm not saying he carried the car to a victory it didn't deserve, but its a team sport and he acquitted himself well.
