He is the man no less than Fernando Alonso called “the best of us all.” Lewis Hamilton himself said just before this season that “he’s better than three quarters of the grid. He’s one of the top five drivers in F1 and he’s not even here.”
My 2014 Altima needed a new transmission in 2016 at 60k miles (that one was warrantied) and is working on needing another new one at 121k miles just two years later. The infotainment system has never worked properly, alternating between laggy as hell and flat out non-operational and just three weeks ago, the engine…
The ban on team orders is not what led to the multi-21 incident. Team orders haven’t been banned since 2011. The ban on team orders IS what led to the infamous “Fernando is faster than you” incident. Multi-21 was acknowledged, even at the time, to be RBR instructing Vettel and Weber to turn their engines down and hold…
I’m sorry, but that is a ridiculous assertion. Alonso is eight points away from being a five time world champion, which is a number much more befitting of his status within the sport. And of those three seasons in which he placed second in the WDC standings by less than five points, he was driving what was…
DRS is only half driver actuated. The driver chooses when to activate it and although they can also choose to close it early, it’s supposed to close automatically under braking. Apparently, drivers who are aggressive or late on the brakes tend to close it early. Lewis Hamilton is one driver known to be very aggressive…
I’ve considered a Civic SI but they’re right in the same price range as the G37 although as a significantly more efficient option. The S2000 is just too impractical for the Northeast and for my lifestyle. We have four seasons here and I need to be able to drive in snow. And I frequently carry passengers. It’s also an…
I’ve been driving a beater Honda Civic for a while and I’m just now in a position where I can afford to buy a car that’s around $20k. I considered a G37 but I drive so much that it’s considerable thirst for premium fuel is really putting me off. It’s probably the one thing keeping me from pulling the trigger because…
I do have to wonder why CVT transmissions were banned. Williams went to the trouble of developing it with Renault and they probably would have walked away with the championship if it raced in anger but I feel like CVT transmissions for road cars would be half as miserable if they would've been developed more…
Lewis Hamilton made no such comments when he won the 2016 outing. No driver makes those comments when they win so I really can’t take them seriously.
The speed. Mind blowing. The speed. How can they control the cars moving that fucking fast?
The Red Bull was so much better on the tires. Even a lay person could see how much more heavily the Ferrari was wearing the tires from the on board shots.
Exceptional. World championship caliber. I don’t think I can overstate how well Ricciardo drove this weekend. His qualifying lap was spectacular. Anyone who hasn’t watched it, watch it. There were times when I genuinely could not believe how fast he was driving. It looked fast on video, I can’t imagine how fast it was…
You’re only allowed one defensive move. Even the stewards said that Verstappen was wrong for moving twice to defend. They apportioned blame 50/50 because Ricciardo admitted to waiting to long to commit to his move.
The rule is actually one defensive move according to the latest version of the rules.
Stewards reprimanded both drivers and apportioned blame 50/50. Verstappen made two moves but Ricciardo admitted that he waited too long to commit to overtaking on the right.
Biases? Ha. I’m biased because I’m saying we should temper expectations after just ONE good race from the Honda engines. Me saying we shouldn’t be singing Honda’s praises just yet was actually in reference to the general “McLaren made a mistake in dumping Honda” commentary that seems to be especially prominent right…
Conveniently forgetting that Gasly’s engine failed last race. Complete and total engine failure that required that BOTH engines be replaced for this race. They’ve had ONE good result. People are only comparing McLaren to STR because McLaren is the former Honda works team. There’s no doubt that McLaren was seriously…
Not showing pace so much as it was finally finishing races by the end of last season. Renaults power unit was also a new design last year and although their reliability wasn’t good either, at least they had some properly competitive results.
Renault is ALSO going to get another year’s worth of development though. McLaren is always going to be spending within $50 million of Red Bull on their F1 project. The top four teams all spend between $400 and $450 million dollars. Yes, that $50 million is an enormous amount of additional money spent, but I don’t…
