Renault have been picking up some very decent engineers of late, so they may surprise us next year.

Or maybe not, as all the engineers I know that went there hate each others guts.
This is hilarious and exactly what I would expect at a French company #forzafrancia

More evidence that Mercedes is leaving as a works team at the end of 2020 and Lewis is moving to Ferrari.

Look at these choice quotes:

quote:

[...]

He added: "I miss getting the texts. I miss sharing those videos, and I still have a lot of our conversations and every now and then I revisit it.

"But again, without his support, I probably wouldn’t have made the switch to come to this team. Without his support, I wouldn’t still be with this team. I don’t think this team would have had success without his support.

"Going to the board, pushing and breaking their balls. That is what he was the best at. But also being real with me. Being the bridge between… Toto [Wolff] was a racing driver and the board, who were not racing drivers, to have a real champion who understands, and empathises with how difficult it is to deliver weekend in weekend out, [and] when you make a mistake…

"That is where he has been such a great, great pillar for me. So I miss him a lot.”

[...]

Also the whole thing is worth a read because :smith:

Vettel (and Ferrari) seemed to have made a lot of dumb choices, but I cant help but like Vettel for having at least some semblance of a personality in interviews. Or at least there was a youtube compilation of funny Vettel moments and I can't possibly imagine any other driver having a similar video made unless you count Max playing bumper cars in an F1 GP. My opinion may be way off the mark based on just watching the 2019 season and not witnessing any of the past history.

Speaking of personality, I think Lando may have, in his rookie season, overtaken Dan (AU not RU) as the most likable driver

Lando's alright but something about him puts me off. It's like he tries too hard to be likable and hip and ~with the memes~ and it comes off as phoney.

Dan seems more like he's just that way naturally.

Good thing if Mercedes is leaving, it has been loving boring. I mean, 2000-2006 boring. The season starts, Merc is already 2s faster than everyone else, Bottas underperforms just enough to not be a serious problem for Lewis but enough to keep his seat, and then Hamilton picks up the championship somewhere between 2-3 races still left.

At least this time its not the Schumacher dominance era, which ruins the sport for everyone else besides the crazy tifosi and Hamilton at least is somewhat interesting person in his own way. Also, there is a slight chance that merc is actually "technically legal", whereas Ferrari most certainly wasn't when it dominated.

And McLaren still can't build a decent drive even with all the money in the world but somehow Renault performs just as you would expect from a French company.

I was waiting for the signed hat to be relisted but it never was. That would have been worth thousands when he's WDC

This one will still be worth something because i'd imagine i'm the only one who bought one this year.

2019 was a decent year. Mercedes at no point had 'a 2 second lead' over anyone. Ferrari hosed it, but it was very competitive on pace at the front. Sometimes I wonder how many people actually enjoy F1 and how many just enjoy complaining that it's not something else.

I still enjoy it. I wasn't a big fan during the Schumacher domination of the early 00's but I still didn't miss a race.
