The MP4/6 was good but I think Honda's decision to pursue a V12 was the wrong one, although it was extremely powerful. Also the chassis was too conservative both electronically and aero wise as well.

Anyone would think May started the fire herself the way the country (and loving Facebook) is reacting.

Just the usual EU fake news army trying to destabilise our Lewis and our Britain. I heard the unit operating in this thread reports directly to Jean-Claude Juncker and Toto Wolff. The ironic part is that it's British taxpayer money being spent on trolling Britain.

People always use that "political gain" line when they know they are at fault and don't want to own it.

Lmao. Or it's blatant cynicism to see anybody use a tragic event as a means to call an election. Especially those who are going around using this as a loving photo op to put their arms around people.

None of what happened looks good for whoever was in charge - May was Home Sec don't forget so probably her jurisdiction even before she was PM - but I'm loving sick and tired of having people piss on my back and telling me it's raining.

It is and you can get a relatively inexpensive 'Le Mans Pass' from Eurosport. Otherwise, Nige is your man.

I've tried looking online but why did they switch to a V12? Their V10 was just fine and they had to spend the whole 1991 season desperately developing it to stay on par with the Renault V10 of the Williams. Was it just Honda.txt and wanting a new challenge for the sake of it?

"Because our engineers are bored" I think sums it up.

And I think BLMW's massive accident at Brazil in 2014 made him think of hanging it up sooner than later. He wound up winning a World Championship but still missed out on Le Mans. I wouldn't put it past him returning in a GTE car eventually, but for the time being he's pulling a Porsche paycheck and enjoying retirement.

There was a definite reason and theory behind it, I think it was rev potential or something. You gotta remember the context of 1990 where Ferrari was really strong with the V12 and Renault appeared to be nowhere.
