shit troll job, try again bucko

I predict Gene is out soon.  Maybe the end of the year, when he sells the team for Daddy Mazespin.  I wonder how much longer we have to wait until ALL the teams are owned by Billionaire dads paying for their kids to have a place to play?

“With Max playing the easy role of the rabbit out front”

I think they’re both very talented.

“Seb Vettel lasted just four (and it lucked into half of those)” - really? Luck is part of racing - a win is a win and shouldn’t be discounted. Did Hamilton luck into joining Mercedes coinciding with their renaissance? Did he luck into his seven championships?

This assumes they would just replace the ICE engine with an electric motor in the same spot, which is dumb and inefficient. None of the existing driveline is required. No engine, no trans, no driveshaft, no diff. You put the electric motor in the rear in place of the diff. All of the space and weight that used to be

Easy. Batteries will go where the engine and transmission are located. The electric motor will fill the space vacated by the removal of the rear differential and fuel tank.

Do we know what the size is compared to today’s cars?  I think a key problem with F1 is that the cars have become so large, it’s hindered a lot of passing, especially on tight courses like Monaco. They can keep adding things like KERS and DRS, but to me, they all feel a bit gimmicky.

Yeah, it’s not going to look that clean after Adrian Newey gets his hands on it I’ll tell you that for free. 

It is literally impossible for the cars in their current state to be good at wheel to wheel racing when they lose more than half of their downforce when following within a second of another car. A second is a lot. I agree that they should allow more mfgs to field tires.

The tires are intentionally shit though. Yesterdays race is a perfect example of why. It would have been a snoozefest if not for the split strategy due to high tire deg. There just needs to be move variables and less downforce. If there’s a potential for 10 different strategies that could win, instead of one or two,

The only solution to fixing Yas is to destroy it and start over. Add some elevation change and camber. Overtaking at the end of a long straight with the aid of DRS is just as boring as not having any overtakes.

I want a Maverick Lightning.  If EV’s aren’t the perfect way to bring back small trucks, I don’t know what is.

Maverick ST Maverick ST Maverick ST.

100% agree that Road America’s layout is particularly well suited to F1 as it races today.

85mph.

We love our Regal TourX wagon. It gets a decent amount of attention for a ‘normal’ car but it’s nice that it’s unique and not everyone has one (it’s also just a damn good car). A woman in her 40s came up to us when we were parked and was so excited to ask about it because she “loves wagons” and we had to sadly tell

Wait, isn’t this a Enclave? Wasn’t Avenir some concept from a while ago? Is it a trim level now instead?

If you are stuck on a United flight however, getting off of it in half the time sounds very appealing.

I’m giving this an irrational NP just because I like it. It’s an interesting car and a good example if you want an Italian project that you can enjoy from the start as the stuff it needs are not things that stop you from driving it.
