Has Stroll done something horribly offensive I don't know about? I thought his main issue was that he was a mediocre driver who just has a seat because he made his dad buy a racing team.

Honestly Stroll seems to be as inoffensive as billionaire failsons can get, Mazepin is far worse. I still despise him because he is a billionaire failson though.

After a break from watching old F1 to instead watch nerds abusing video games for a solid week, I've finished what little of the 1984 season this site lets you see. All but one team entered turbo cars, and Martin Brundel is one of the men misfortunate enough to get the naturally aspirated Tyrell. Martin Brundel was one of the two newcomers to come up from F3, the other being Ayrton Senna. The commentators seemed to praise Brundel as a hopeful, but it obviously didn't pan out. At a very wet Monaco, Senna gave a stellar performance in a car that's ordinarily back marker. His bravery has him work from the back of the pack up to 2nd place and gaining fast on Alain Prost before the race is red flagged. In the brief overview I was able to get of 84, I saw many gearbox failures. It was enough to wonder if there was some general issue with transmission at the time. Maybe the characteristics of the turbo car was an unknown for some of these teams, but either way the sight of a car rolling free on the road was all too familiar this season. As was the sight of a BMW Turbo on fire. Towards the end of the season a rivalry emerged between teammates Alain Prost and Niki Lauda. I've said in previous seasons that the seasoned Austrian is able to play games of timing and psychology, where Prost drops the ball when it counts. This season, which pits the two against each other, shows this exact form. Prost drops the ball time and time again while Lauda scoops up the points needed to swipe the championship. With not much seen of this season there's not as much to say, and 85 is also looking like it'll be threadbare viewing, but 86 thankfully has more coverage. I anticipate that Senna is going to bag himself a decent car for his troubles in the wet at Monaco, and that Arnoux is going to shrink into obscurity. Perhaps McLaren keeps its Lauda/Prost lineup in which case I wonder if this will be the rivalry to watch. I know from my dad's old stories that Prost/Senna become the main rivals to watch, but surely not this early in Senna's career.

For the last loving time - the Toleman was not a backmarker. I don’t know why pundits/media guys keep repeating this line. The TG183B and TG184 were good cars if a little ungainly. RE: Monaco ‘84 - Bellof was the most impressive driver that day. Nobody noticed. Tyrrell also kept using the DFV (DFY?) because he was a notorious spendthrift. The 012 was probably a race winner with any other engine. Transmission durability during the turbo era was poor - at full qualifying boost the gearboxes maybe could last about 2 laps.

Maybe if it didn't retire so often it could have demonstrated that. With its placing, though, it's no RAM or true backmarker but "good" isn't good enough in F1 racing. Everyone's good, to get somewhere you need to excel, and excellence is clearly not what the machine had. I only see what the camera points at and hear what the pundits say. Bellof didn't draw their attention. Azza Bamboo fucked around with this message at 13:55 on Jan 17, 2021 |

Everyone's good, to get somewhere you need to excel, and excellence is clearly not what the machine had. Indeed. I don’t blame people for thinking the Toleman was awful - it’s been repeated not only by pundits but also in the Senna documentary. The Tolemans were never reliable but always quite quick from the TG183 on. It’s a bit disingenuous to class it with the Osellas, Spirits and RAMS which were the actual backmarker cars. It was also better than the Ligiers, Arrows, and the like. Make the car fast first then go for reliability. If you do the reverse, you end up with the Forti FG01- a car that was reliable but so slow that it sometimes wasn’t classified because it was lapped so many times.

Also, outside of the McLaren that year I wouldn’t call any of the cars excellent aside from the Brabham, which had atrocious reliability. Very fast though, although likely helped by the fact that the TAG-Porsches did not have qualifying engines.

1997 is perplexing as all the cars seem to be decent to great but most of the drivers can’t seem to get a handle on them. Bad reliability from the Stewarts and McLarens (who have the prettiest car). It’s been said before but the field quality sucks, particularly the guys that came from ‘94-onwards.

Was ‘97 when they downsized the cars or was that ‘98?
