records are spotty enough that I'm convinced like half of the people who raced in the early days of F1 don't actually exist, you can't tell me there was a real man named Innes Ireland

There were professional baseball players named Cannonball Titcomb, Rusty Kuntz, Ugly Dickshot, and Urban Shocker. Innes Ireland is easily believed.

early baseball is even less believable than early F1, and they didn't even try to make it sound believable when they made it all up

This is an excellent site if you want to see a bunch of insanely detailed and moronic formulas to determine that Daniel Riccardo is a better driver than both Alain Prost and Ayrton Senna

I don’t buy Mercedes detuned their engines - I legitimately think they not only are down on power but they have poor power delivery as well.

That's what this site tries to do. Uses statistical analysis to compare drivers. Looks at driver parings to compare drivers who never teamed by seeing who they did out perform. Factors in changes in formula and race frequency etc etc. Not flawless but quite interesting reading (if that sorta thing flicks your switch)

My man, you are REALLY gonna have to explain how Stefano Modena is a better driver than Mario Andretti.

sure, Mario Andretti won a wdc, but Stefano Modena scored podiums in both a late 80s Brabham and an early 90s Tyrrell, and who's to say which is more impressive

If McLaren has scrubbed Palou and Herta is now entering the Red Bull orbit, then I guess if they’re going to pull somebody out of an IndyCar they’re down to who, O’Ward?

Its 1982 and Hamilton rocks up to the track wearing pink knitted 'there is no way im leaving here alive, and not by driving' self aware poo poo. Before him are the real gladiators of legend, silhoutted in glorious sun light, who stare him down with mockery in their eyes.
'Who art thou' the words hit him though noone spoke. The sound much more deep, richer and decibilious than the car he drives today.
'I am your decendant' he squeeks, his voice weak and raspy, his actualitity appearing as his masks slips.
The gladiators laugh. They are glad, for they deem themselves in the presence of a court jester all too eager to prance and mince his way, if pronouns allow, into favour.
Foolish fool. Begone worm.

Something is going on with the RBR-Porsche deal. It’s stalled.


Also it appears Porsche won’t be doing much of anything aside from putting their name on the cam cover - which makes me wonder as to why they are even bothering.

O’Ward struggled in a Super Formula car, which in terms of downforce are most similar to F1 cars.

yeah apparently paddock rumors are horner, marko, newey aren't thrilled about it and I guess Porsche won't have anywhere in germany to build engines or something now that Audi said they were

I thought the Porsche entry was supposed to relieve RBR of the need to keep being an energy drink company that inexplicably also manufactures high-end internal combustion engines? Also isn’t the current engine freeze just because RBPT won’t/can’t do further development? So if this Porsche thing falls through, what, does Red Bull buy Audi engines instead?
