What the F1 thread needs are effortposts, like when that guy made a six paragraph essay about how he couldn't be a Lewis Hamilton fan anymore because he was too "gangsta"

Lewis's inauthenticity is why he's authentic to me. He comes across as this deeply insecure guy with a persecution complex that's also ridiculously good at racing. He's fascinating in the same way infamously bad-temper drivers like Reutimann and Mansell were.

America's street layouts are just uniquely bad for street circuits (that said, Australia is the same way and they had Adelaide, though I always thought it was slightly overrated)

Do you think that like, turning the steering wheel clock-wise is like some kind of weird discipline that's much different than turning it counter-clock-wise

Tony Montana posted:ok then. I don't agree. I think crossovers are rare and often with individually brilliant people that could drive anything. But if an American could be both WDC and oval champ at the same time, I would be very impressed. Mario Andretti did literally exactly this back when USAC was strictly an oval series.

Andretti was the only one to do it when USAC was almost entirely an oval series. (though strangely enough Mansell was much better on Indycar ovals than he was on road courses, probably because NewmanHaas had the best engines in '93)

I honestly do not care that Americans don't have much of a history in F1, tbh, I care much more about getting them back in top level motorcycle racing. gently caress Spain

1500quidporsche posted:I just finished watching the 00 season and it was loving great. Get some old 500cc footage, the whole reason Americans were so good was that those loving things had so much power and so little grip that before they fixed it with more manageable engine timings, you absolutely needed a background racing motorcycles on dirt ovals to get the most out of them, and those were all Americans and Australians.

I frankly don't get what people see in V8 Supercars. The racing is mostly poor and the same two teams win almost every race.
