Ffffff, shades of Nicky Hayden on that "customer Honda" with the lovely Z-league energy drink sponsorship that they had to duct tape over after like 3 races...

Finally some proper videos about Jimmy the best race driver there ever was and about whom I will not joke that he was English instead of Scottish as he actually was in an attempt to trollingly insult him, especially because he was killed by a fraudulent English single seater.

The engine firing videos are just milestones the team are excited to share. The first rung of the ladder.
Y'all overthinking it.

Thinking about it... You could conceivably use a really ridiculously over complicated variable valve timing system to change the firing order on an engine and keep full compression but VVT is banned on these engines.

F1 with vtec....phwoar.

No poo poo they didn’t take him, he’d give their golden boys a run for their money and cause “turbulence” within the team because he owns

RBRs are going to Honda themselves and Max will be annoyed which will be fun to watch, Vettel is going to get shown up by Sharl and keep making mistakes, Bottas is poo poo. Lots of podium opportunities for Danny Ric.

McLaren should have done a tooned cartoon on those two doing crazy things. Not like they were doing anything else during that time

"Patience, young grasshopper."
Lando Norris was actually born in 1999 and is 19 years old racing in F1. It’s kinda nuts isn’t it? He seems to be a good talent and is British. Which is nice for McLaren I guess.

I think Williams has some treat drivers this year. George Russell who won F2 in 2018, and the great return of Kubica. Just need the car to actually be competitive!

And on RBR using Honda I’m genuinely excited. TR had a pretty good run with Honda last year, and the guys in Japan seem to have invested a lot to get themselves back to the place they should be. We all know that Honda on form are a terrifying force to be reckoned with. Makes me wonder what would’ve happened if McLaren had owned some of the problems with the car and worked with Honda rather than working against them. Big personalities like Alonso tend not to go down well with the guys from Japan. Which again, makes me wonder how Verstappen will get on with his Honda engineers VS the lovely Pierre who is just a nice guy.

All in all, I’m really excited for this season.
