Put Yuki In A Red Bull Ricciardo/Lawson Alpha Tauri, sure why not. Honestly I think DeVries might be a perfectly good driver, that AT seems like utter garbage. But the RB machine doesn’t seem to do second chances

Khablam posted:he's also got an ego the size of Queensland At the height of his RBR or even Renault popularity, sure. But you don't get dropped mid season by McLaren and then only get a seat offer from Haas without taking an ego hit. I mean he's floating suggestions that he'd be open to jumping back into AT next to Yuki if it opens the door to more. If his ego was as big as you suggest, getting into an AT would be an insult. https://www.crash.net/f1/news/1030816/1/exclusive-ricciardo-open-alphatauri-drive-if-it-creates-path-red-bull

Vips is now eyeing Indycar, which is very fitting for a edgelord (at best) rich kid. Specifically Vips had a heated gaming moment while on Liam Lawson's public stream, in what was possibly a masterfully arranged setup by Lawson

tony quidtana posted:I do think a lot of what happened at BMW in the 80s played out the way it did because they were tied to Brabham and Murray was just so used to having to work with whatever bullshit Ecclestone scrounged up as resources that he never really pushed them for more. By mid way through 84 they really needed somebody to sit them down and say "look the inline 4 thing was a nice little novelty but the future very clearly is a twin turbo V6 and you need to build that" instead of Murray trying to compromise and ending up with an already on the limit engine turned sideways The Twin-Turbo Alfa 4 that Arnoux compared to dog food was a weird engine as well. I know very little about it as it never actually raced.

Ferrari's V6 having the exhaust on the inside of the vee prior to '85 always struck me the best example of extremely odd decision making that stuck around way longer than it should have in that period. It had to have been done for packaging reasons with ground effect in mind but the engine hung around for the two years after that ground effects was banned and I don't think Ferrari ever had an aero advantage over anyone serious, even other turbo cars during that point. The Honda NR race bike is the king of just completely wild and borderline pseudo science engineering philosophy from that era for me though. There was like a kernel of a correct idea in the decision making philosophy but the constraints and ultimate execution should've had like 5 different managers just putting a stop to it before it ever saw the track.

Hairpin valve springs were an entirely viable and sometimes preferable solution to the reliability of spring manufacture in the era before modern metallurgy, as was desmodromic valve operation. The great Mercedes Ineos AMG F1 of the 1950s, posthumously made righteous by the future hiring of Sir Lewis Hamilton MBE, employed that technology in their dominant road racing vehicles in order to avoid the problems of the highly shameful and problematic coil spring

The Hass is faster but explodes. The Williams is much faster after upgrades. The AT is close. It's slow and has no brakes but Yuki and devries are both worse than zhou and Bottas to similar results.

GM was prepared to switch their entire range to rotary engines in the 70s for emissions. You can pull bad engineering decisions out of any manufacturer's past if they've been around long enough.

Kirios posted:Wait… Okay person who very obviously has never owned a rotary engine car. The rotary engine briefly looked like it was going to be better able to beat NOx emissions requirements than traditional 4 strokes, which caused a ton of companies to license it. Ford had a program too, AMC had a license to buy rotaries from GM once they went into production I think. GM's was particularly dumb because they paid out the rear end to opt out of the technology sharing agreement with NSU as part of licensing it.

Also I’m loving terrible at them but the F1 games even played poorly with a controller give you such a better idea of the tracks. Even basically playing it like Mario Kart let’s you get so much more awareness of “oh poo poo, if I gently caress up this section and have a bad exit my speed is hosed for a third of the lap.” I kind of bounce off the games ultimately but the little I have played them they’ve given me such a better feel for a lap around the track. You might be able to get some of this from just onboard laps and poo poo with commentary though.

If you gently caress up that last section at Baku you pay for it forever too. That straight is like climbing up those stairs to Bowsers painting in Mario 64.
