I sort of get why RB didn't want to get bought by Porsche and stop being just Red Bull and share top billing with Porsche but what's McLaren's excuse?

"It looks like Porsche will instead focus on its Formula E program"

The natural destination for F1 rejects.

Somebody decided they won’t get what they want (controlling interest in an F1 team, or cheap re-badging of the Audi lump) so are going to continue in sports cars instead. Inevitable.

Also Reddit gets dunked on because it’s the easiest target with even worse opinions than this thread. It’s not really SA remaining spiky, but instead sports posters still remaining the gold standard on god’s green internet. Even in this accursed thread.

Same thing, though they might also have to take the road car division and don’t want to :haw:

The Porsche deal was dead once the RBR partnership was called off. No great loss really, Porsche isn’t really and F1 company anyway.

It bears repeating - Porsche’s 1991 3512 V12 is the absolute worst major engine program of the last 50 years.

The opinions on this thread are around the same quality as reddit at best, and slightly better than motorsport.com at worst.

Redbull is going to be supplied by Ford engines when the next formula comes along (or partner) . What ever they decide to do, they are going to be midfield at best. Can't wait to see Max sign with Ferrari.

The consistency is the weird part to me, yeah. 4chan and ebaumsworld were probably more notorious in their heyday, but since joining SA in 2016 I've consistently seen posts taking jabs at reddit in virtually every thread I've bothered to read.

No, Red Bull is developing their own engine, it’ll be badged as Ford. They’ve been poaching a lot of people - some from Honda, many from Mercedes - and building up the engine factory.

The exact same engine could have wound up badged as a Porsche if Porsche hadn’t insisted on having equal equity in the full Red Bull F1 setup, both the race team and the power train side.

No where else on the Internet have I seen one forum so obsessed with another forum the way SA is with Reddit. Seems like fads roll through where some other forum is a hot topic for a while, but name-dropping Reddit never goes out of style.

Reddit isn't all bad. Sure, there's a lot of questionable porn, and the F1 subreddit sucks because everyone who draws lovely F1 art posts it there looking for upvotes, but there's a few places that aren't completely terrible like the F1 Technical subreddit. Today I learned Brits don't know what an axle is something new:

What Americans call a drive shaft we call a prop shaft. What you call an axle we call a drive shaft.

Wow it sounds like that subreddit is trying to redeem itself. Should've posted a drawing where you're trying to suck Max's cock, might've gotten some praise and more pleasant reactions.

I would postulate the people who don't know how to use search despite using the internet for 20 years are the real mouth-breathing dipshits; the same kinds of people I have to use lmgtfy.com with to visually teach them how to google something. People tell you to use the search because watching you ask the same stupid questions over and over and over and over and over and over and over again gets boring and repetitive.

Lmao indeed.. I think the deal was F1's getting rid of the MGU-H if Porsche and Audi come in; since they failed to do that, they should bring it back. It's such a cool little piece of technology, Mercedes even offered to give theirs to everyone and make it a standard part so they don't all have to waste money trying to achieve 50% efficiency like they did. Plus it would be fun watching Ferrari gently caress up the Mercedes MGU-H even when it's given to them on a silver platter.

You post this like your neck fat is angrily jiggling like a hedgehog trying to mount a brush as you recount cool times you had to patronise people in the past.
