He scored more points because he finished 8th once and maldonado finished 10th once. points don't tell you poo poo when neither driver gets one in 17 of 19 races. Maldonado finished ahead in 9 of the races they both finished, Bottas only 5.

Even in a shitbox outscoring your more experienced teammate in your first season isn't exactly underperforming

I'm betting Lewis pulls that "either I get through or we both crash" Senna poo poo in the first corner to get past Bottas.

I have the ESPN feed of that race on my computer.

Varsha starts out by saying "We're going to go quiet and let you guys enjoy the race start"

Then the race starts, and Senna/Prost crash out in T1, Varsha then has to go "AND A COLLISION. SENNA HAS BEEN HIT!"

Does that mean the race with American commentators?

edit: hey poo poo I've got nothing to do until the race, Senna turned into Prost there. That's one of the times you're like, geez, Senna was cool and all but I can't say I wouldn't have wanted to deck him if I had to drive against him.

Yeah for whatever reason that year ESPN had a thing where "you" called the first lap of every race that year and they maintained that up until Japan where they obviously had to step in.

I have a real soft spot for ESPN commentary during the Senna/Prost years. They did a real good job.

I have a friend via twitter who has a lot of the :911: feeds and hooked me up with various 2000's era US GP (including 05 where Derek Daly calls the race a "COMPLETE FARCE"). I also asked him for some signature wins of Villeneuve, and Montoya.

I was really jonesing for 1978 Mario WDC races, and those apparently are quite rare, sadly. I kinda like the idea of hearing the "Star Spangled" banner on the podium because that concept seems beyond surreal to me. Closest I got was the race where Michael Andretti somehow got 3rd in Monza.

I've been trying to think of what other ESPN/US feeds of races I should ask for sometime. Any tips?

I'm curious what a signature win by Are Jacques would look like. I've got the 78 season but I've only ever thrown on the Sweden race and it wasn't in english, I wouldn't bet on getting podium coverage since what is included in older races tends to vary.

Get the whole '90 season. The team ESPN had was really good. Can't remember the name of the guy in the pitlane but he was aces.

theyve had that for quite a while. Nah, I mean you won't find that race edit on there. They still do this thing were some stuff goes to youtube and the 'premium content' like their race edits are hosted only on F1.com with their own player. I dunno why someone doesn't explain how much harder that makes stuff to share, and it's not like people are 'ripping it off' because there is only 1 F1 in the world. You can't embed the videos and lots of other stuff.. come on Liberty!

edit: I also think these edits would be great in the OP under each race. Easy way for new readers to catch up or send someone to the OP to remind them of something.

Silverstone in '96, Interlagos, A1 Ring in '97, would be pretty big.

I always consider wins at places like Silverstone, Interlagos, Hockhenheim/Nurburgring, Monza, Suzuka, CGV, and Spa to kinda 'career" defining. (Past F1 venues like Watkins Glen, Long Beach are also kinda incredible for that from an American perspective on Formula racing)

John Bisignano was the guy in the pits.

Bottas always puts the car exactly where it's supposed to be, "solid second driver" would have been his role at any other top team, but the Mercs are so much faster than anyone else they can tell him to go for it for shits and giggles. I fear this pole is more about Lewis having a bad quali than the revelation that he was a genius all along.

It's probably also somewhat their hatred for Lewis, because they'd rather Lewis face a driver that could beat him for pace in the same car (there aren't any), so Bottas needs to go because he's horrible and poo poo.
