Atleast Khablam was able to dig up the one where I said newey was a spent force People were acting like the Aston was a consistent race winner (It's not). Alonso has such a poor grasp on developing a car that Mclaren dropped the Honda engine because of him (the car was the problem, not the engine) so it's only downhill for Aston for the rest of this year, my comments on what Ferrari need to do to win have aged like fine wine F1DriverQuidenBerg fucked around with this message at 23:14 on Mar 6, 2023 |

I will say that Ron Dennis wouldn't let Honda move away from the "size zero" concept even after they begged him to do so, Then they had to get help from the aircraft division so the turbo wouldn't fail, then they had to clean sheet the engine 3 times before it became a title winner. So to say wanting to move away from Honda was a mistake is a pretty hot take. McLaren on the other hand after dropping Honda shoehorned in the 2nd worst engine on the grid into their car and suddenly was fighting for 3rd and 4th. Much of the Honda/McLaren debacle should be put on Ron Dennis and Eric Boullier.

If McLaren replaced Lando Norris with Mazepin they would have the same amount of points.

It absolutely was Honda's fault that their team of rotating engineers with little to no F1 experience who were contractually obligated to follow what Mclaren wanted, had followed designed and built what the team McLaren determined and demanded they needed for their car. How could I be so stupid to think it was the team's fault. welcome back wicka

There was some other show on Amazon (not DTS) that had McLaren firing up their engine for the first time and it would not start, and this was when Zac took over. Some things never change eh

the great part of Grand Prix Driver is that it barely shows drivers in a grand prix. After pre-season, it basically spends 20 minutes on the rest of the season and ends after 4 episodes when it probably should have gone 8-10 like all the “All or Nothing” seasons. must have been sunk cost that they released it at all

The McLaren is so slow because they want you to have as much time as possible to read their digital advertisements on the car.

How could I be so stupid to think it was the team's fault. People also have selective memory of 2018 - the MCL33 had a few red herring results at the season’s beginning (they were clobbered by Toro Rosso in Bahrain.) and by mid season the car could not consistently make it out of Q3 - Vandoorne actually did worse in 2018.

Always seems like the top of the grid comes together at the end. Probably not this year, but maybe there will be some good fights for P2 to P5.
