Tony Montana posted:Yeah the 14B is the active-suspension beast that took Mansell to the title? Nice models. The 13B is an entirely different design from the FW14. It was the last Williams with a manual gearbox. Passive suspension. It was a good car but somewhat ungainly.

1500quidporsche posted:I don't think it was just bowing to Prost, Barnard ignored driver feedback alot of the time and the car had been designed with Prost's driving style in mind so Keke had a rough go making the tires work. Then Elio died and I'm pretty sure that was the thing that made Keke retire. When Keke poked his head up last year he actually mentioned that he confronted Barnard about it years later and Barnard just went "lol sorry mate, I was thinking about my move to Ferrari". It was also comparatively old. 3 years is a really long time to use the same design. Also the Porsche engine simply wasn't up to snuff.

Criticize Keke's move all you want, it isn't nearly as dumb as Derek Warwick's career choice.

Speaking of the late 00s imagine a bizzare alternate universe where the BGP001 was actually the SA09 and Takuma Sato became world champion? I can dream.

Khablam posted:How can the one english driver you like be mansell Yeah there are a lot of better choices. On a personal level Lewis is more tolerable than Mansell (just). I do have a lot of respect for Mansell's driving style though. I can always appreciate an aggressive and fast driver even if they break the car all the time or blow championships on more than one occasion.

The engine has fundamental design issues that cannot be rectified in 2 weeks, or even before mid season. I expected reliability issues and it looks like I was right.

wicka posted:It honestly seems like they've taken a step back from last season. This is what happens when you design a brand-new engine from scratch because you wasted 3 years on a very lovely concept. Also you didn't hire anyone that had experience with this formula and also you don't listen to your consultants.
