Rubens was the guy who won in the Brawn after it wasn't the best car on the grid anymore. True legend imo, what a driver.

simplefish posted:Yeah Lewis does tend to get hosed on ~mindgames~, the way he was asking about whether Bottas had similar issues and was prickly about being told where frogboy was behind him, armchair psychologist I know, but seems like he's more focused on others than his own race. That historically has not worked out well for him. This is basically the British mentality of "so who do I blame?" as soon as something isn't going right, rather than be seen to take ownership and try to fix it. I mean maybe it's not just British people that do this, but gently caress me has my whole working life not been one long restraint against murdering these types of useless wastes of air.

Rubens wasn't great, but comparing him winning late in the season in a Brawn that hadn't seen any development to Bottas winning now that Ferrari has caught up is just so stupid on so many levels.

I guess the obvious solution would be to not be so poo poo earlier in the season. Too bad Barichello was too skilled to not do that.

If he can get Indy this year (longshot, but who knows), and Honda can't find him a seat for Le Mans in the next year or 2, I wouldn't be surprised to see him leave. I think he's given up on more WDCs and is going for triple crown.

There is no way the current Honda engine can survive Monza. It would rattle itself to dust. Vandoorne will come to a grinding halt somewhere on track and when the engineers take off the engine cover and the entire thing is just going to blow away like talcum powder. It'll be Vandoorne that discovers this because Alonso will have hung himself already.
