Windows even runs some Toyota infotainment systems.

What else could they run, I wonder?

This is Newey we're talking about. He'll find a way to make the aero work on their car.

The issue however is that Seb will absolutely not take being second fiddle. It’s obvious he wants to be like a certain other German who came into Ferrari and helped it dominate, but at the same time, he isn’t exactly at the same level as said German (except, maybe the crashing into opponents).

But who do they keep? Because the sentiment right now is that LeClerc is actually the faster of the two drivers. But at the same time, it won’t look good to have a 4 time world champion as a “no. 2 driver.”

He remembered the last time Kimi’s car got into contact with the pit crew and didn’t wan’t to break a leg.

I see the guy remembered the last time a car Kimi drove had an altercation with a pit engineer.

Looking at it through championships alone doesn’t show the whole picture. For most of that period, McLaren Mercedes were consistently part of the top three teams on the grid.

Bu Mercedes power plants are way better than Renaults. Racing Point just came out of administration, and Williams’ problems are due to their own lack of money (something that isn’t as big an issue with McLaren).

Well, there are rumblings that Alonso may want to come back to give his career a fitting end. If not, I’m pretty sure either Vettel or LeClerc are not going to be at Ferrari by that time, though I doubt Seb would want to work at another team where another young upstart has a chance at upstaging him.

there’s no real guarantee that Mercedes will still be making the most competitive power unit,

The problem is that Williams is in an even worse state.

Racing Point will probably have to look for a new engine supplier.

Could be worse, at least it’s not Andrea Moda.

GL1800 has reverse.

The problem is that the era when we had refueling represented the point where on track overtaking was at its lowest. However, taking it out had the immediate effect of increasing the number of on track overtakes beyond what the sport used to have (as shown by this graph from cliptheapex).

Now we have a place where we can conclusively show that “the good old days” weren’t exactly as good as we think they were.

With refueling, we’ll have more teams resorting to using refueling strategies to overtake cars off track instead of on. We actually had less on track overtaking during the years we had refueling, as compared to when it was taken out. Say all you want about drivers being unafraid to push the car, teams are still going…

It’ll also result in less on track overtaking as teams start using refueling stops to overtake instead. Statistics show that we had less overtaking on track during the years when we had refueling.

Except multiple examples time and time again have shown hat “formula libre” doesn’t work. Costs just end up spiraling and the series dies once teams start to pull out.
