I feel like there have been more retirements in this race than any GP since the first hybrid race.

Fast race pace and apparently easy on the tires. The Scud have done it again.

Everyone laughed at me last year when I said that Newey was done and this car was going to be a dog but here we are.

Maybe Newey was always bad and Seb was always good.

The Australian GP was basically any average GP from like 2000-2007

Other than the DRS/Narrow wing years the last year in F1 where overtaking was easy was like 1983

1983 is good.

Also it's of example of a year where refuelling worked pretty well. Maybe it can work if done correctly.

It was only good because it was the first year after ground effect was banned and nobody knew what the gently caress they were doing

Lewis lost because he was not very good in the first half of the season.

Yeah, he should have just ignored those engine failures and kept driving.

He had 2 DNFs all year. Rosberg had one.

English fans just don't want to admit that the most objectively fraudulent WDC was clearly Hunt in '76.

# ¿ Mar 30, 2017 03:26

Feels Villeneuve: Oct 7, 2007; Setter is Better.

In truth there are basically no WDCs I'd actually classify as undeserved. 1976 is the only remotely close one. Other than that it's hypotheticals like if Hill had beaten Schumacher in 1994 which would have been moronic.

2012, too, in the sense that Alonso was clearly a better driver in a worse car, but yeah.

Yes that is the kind of thing that happens during tyre wars sometimes.

IIRC that specific system was less of a BOP system where you specifically try to make stronger cars weaker and weaker cars stronger, and more like a power/weight rule where you have a set rulebase where cars with x horsepower have to be y kilos heavy. but i might be talking out my rear end here.

Hotter take. Driver helmets should be like goalie masks, and they should be allowed to change them whenever like goalies.

Those are too busy and look like rear end.

Mmm. Now thassa helmet.

Feels Villeneuve: Oct 7, 2007; Setter is Better.

If you can't sketch a driver's helmet design easily with a pencil then it sucks rear end. This applies to basically everyone on the grid except Bottas, Vettel, and maybe Lance Stroll.

# ¿ Apr 1, 2017 23:26

Also everyone should be required to use those old Simpson helmets which are demonstrably the coolest looking racing helmets ever made.

It's Peter Revson, so the correct answer is that he's advertising cosmetics.

# ¿ Apr 1, 2017 23:39

Revson was probably the last of the great "rich playboy" F1 types, though I guess you could count someone like Niki Lauda in the 80s if you wanted to.

Also, Paolo Barilla, of the pasta family. He sucked rear end.

Hunt definitely had a playboy image but I don't think he came from money the way someone like Peter Revson or Wolfgang von Trips did.
