times seem fairly close, especially up the front, so Ferrari's deg could prove a problem for them against merc and redbull if Vasseur can keep them on track for an entire race distance

shame about McLaren being worse than Haas but we all know they won't have the upgrades they wanted until Baku an-
hang on I'm being told the other teams will also be making upgrades to their cars

Uhhhhhhh Ferrari doesn't have any deg and is in a prime position to win tomorrow???????

Sainz needs to be retired. I'm tired of these mid race siestas where he loving goes into a vegetative state for the bulk of the race then wakes up with 15 laps to go wondering why he's a pitstop behind the red bulls and is being caught by a loving Aston. I don't know who told him to emulate Schumacher but that's not what they meant

All those are still valid. Atleast Khablam was able to dig up the one where I said newey was a spent force

People were acting like the Aston was a consistent race winner (It's not). Alonso has such a poor grasp on developing a car that Mclaren dropped the Honda engine because of him (the car was the problem, not the engine) so it's only downhill for Aston for the rest of this year, my comments on what Ferrari need to do to win have aged like fine wine

I will say that Ron Dennis wouldn't let Honda move away from the "size zero" concept even after they begged him to do so, Then they had to get help from the aircraft division so the turbo wouldn't fail, then they had to clean sheet the engine 3 times before it became a title winner. So to say wanting to move away from Honda was a mistake is a pretty hot take.

McLaren on the other hand after dropping Honda shoehorned in the 2nd worst engine on the grid into their car and suddenly was fighting for 3rd and 4th.

Much of the Honda/McLaren debacle should be put on Ron Dennis and Eric Boullier.

you know when you put it that way you're definitely right. It absolutely was Honda's fault that their team of rotating engineers with little to no F1 experience who were contractually obligated to follow what Mclaren wanted, had followed designed and built what the team McLaren determined and demanded they needed for their car. How could I be so stupid to think it was the team's fault.

When I used to watch MotoGP, the races usually had like 45 mins of pre-race discussion on the current drama and stuff, is that similar with F1 coverage or do I need to get all that here instead?

I know that D2Survive is edited to be interesting, but it's made me interested in watching the races and like, getting a little invested and stuff.

lmao just lmao if you watch any pre race poo poo. I got pissed when MotoGP started doing 30 minutes of pre race build up instead of 15 so I had to skip even more time.

For all the jokes and poo poo we make this is pretty accurate really.

These people are all insane; driving high speed coffins around tracks as fast as possible and trying to get away with as much as they can to gently caress eachother over (on track, most are nice off track).

I think you need a certain level of sociopathy to be successful in racing, its not a team sport in any capacity other than name, the more resources you can grab for yourself is always going to benefit you as a racer. Pulling off questionable moves without contrition regardless of the outcome is always going to tilt the hand towards you since everyone else drive more conservatively around you as a result.

In terms of them driving around in high speed "coffins" I think that's pretty laughable and you are by a wide margin safer crashing in an F1 car than you are in the average road car, people seem to get pissy when I bring that up though because it shatters the illusion of "they're gladiators". I think its very questionable how well these drivers would actually do if they genuinely had their life in their hands instead of it being some very stupid fake marketing talking point, but there's no way that's ever going to happen.
