A really good qualifying session followed by an ok race. Benz are right hosed it looks like though - but it’s a long season.

harperdc posted:Newey also has been working in racing since the mid 1980s, so he helped work on ground effects cars back then! I don’t think it’s as much his experience there as the overall “can see the air” genius for design combined with an eye for reading the rules and finding the best way to still get what they need from the framework. Early 80s actually - IIRC he started in the last Ground Effect era.

MustardFacial posted: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. The 2018 car was absolutely not fighting for 3rd and 4th, neither was the 2019 car.

tony quidtana posted: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. People also have selective memory of 2018 - the MCL33 had a few red herring results at the season’s beginning (they were clobbered by Toro Rosso in Bahrain.) and by mid season the car could not consistently make it out of Q3 - Vandoorne actually did worse in 2018.

Particularly in F1 or any type of racing though - as it’s mostly an engineering based discipline. I recall my friend posting a letter sent from a guy to NASCAR saying that he was going to assassinate Dale Earnhardt.

tony quidtana posted: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. The last time most race cars were actual “coffins” was the 1980s - and the spate of horrific accidents during that decade across all disciplines made the rulemakers really ramp up safety. Especially in F1.

ilmucche posted:Yeah lewis had a few stupid errors that cost him big. Brake magic in Baku being the one that stands out to me I would say too the RBR/MB were dead even more or less even if Mercedes-Benz won the WCC. The RBR was slightly faster in qualifying trim, the MB better in races. I’d argue too the Honda had better drivability and didn’t have a significant power drop off as they aged, unlike the Mercedes-Benz motors seemed to suffer from.

In good news the Ferrari Hypercar is pretty good. The downside is that the Toyota, who everyone didn’t seem to take seriously for some reason, is psychotically fast.

Not only is the Mercedes-Benz chassis suck the power unit is “clipping” pretty severely on the straights. What that means is that the ICE component is not only missing a bit of power WRT to the Honda and Ferrari, the ERS system is worse and this is compounded by high drag as well.
