I am watching 1983 again - the reliability of Patreses Brabham is shockingly bad. 1.5 car team IMO.

Hakkinen finished near enough twice as many races as Herbert, though the latter was rather accident prone I suppose.

I wonder how many teams would’ve just opted to run one car if it was an option.

I don't really understand why they make it a rule that you had to enter two cars. I kind of wonder if any of the poo poo teams of the early 2010s might have done better if they only had to carry the cost of running one car.

Can’t imagine the incremental cost of an extra car was that high, especially if it gives you the chance of putting a pay driver in.

I’d probably still say Brabham was the last, like, actually good team to do that.

Checking in to see if Poois Shamilton has selfishly jipped himself out of an F1 drive allowing the true destiny of F1 - Dickeater Meatspin to be released from HAAS to drive for Merc and win WDC for the next 10 years while COVID19 inexplicably cancels races at all non-Tilke tracks - to be fulfilled

reverse grid is dumb. at that point it's just a lovely overtaking challenge. chaos needs to evolve organically in the race

I’m against gimmicks like reverse grids tbh and I think it’s trying to put a bandaid on how broken the rules are when really we should just be developing a better formula. Having said that when George fuccboi Russell can just jump in the car and start lapping the field it feels pretty stupid to have Mercedes putting up objections to poo poo like this.

I still think the issue is thermal management and not the aerodynamics but time will tell if I’m right

I legitimately think there should be some mandated minimum unobstructed size for brake ducts and radiator exposure and that in and of itself would resolve a lot of issues with the current formula

It's why racing is dull in a nutshell IMO, and why races where that model flies out the window own so much in comparison.
