If they were competent they wouldn't be forced to accept millions to run Mazespin.

Interesting to ponder: Gene sells to Mazepin....MSC bolts (whether he has it in his contract or Ferrari pulls him out)....who would take that second seat? Would they pick up another ride buyer or is there a rookie that would be willing to sacrifice his career to join that circus. I guess you can always say you’re a F1…

I can’t think of any worse way to spend your day than reading losers’ tweets about something this asshole said on TV.

Why not a new Mazda3? Get the base engine with a manual, or go for the turbo. The CX-30 would also fit the bill, since it’s a Mazda3 on platform heels.

Don’t crap on gas stoves. Leave that for Earther. Gas stoves are the best. I’ve been cooking again on electric (ceramic top) for a few years now and it blows. Nothing beats the precision temperature control of gas.

The WRX no longer competes at the top tier of the WRC championship, so it’s kind of hard for Subaru - and long-time fans of the brand - to justify it’s rally roots. It hasn’t been a rally staplehood at the top tier of WRC for over 15 years now. Instead it just wins in lower P-WRC and similar regional FIA rallies where…

The WRX was a 2 for coupe or 4 door sedan from the beginning. A 5 door wagon was added in ‘96 just a few years after the WRX started (although that was only in Europe. In Japan the fast Impreza wagon was called the gravel express which is an awesome name). When it debuted in the us in ‘02 they sold both, with wagon…

If they don’t do a hatchback, I don’t give one single fuck about this car. I know I am not alone.

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?

Yup!

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,…
