Which is even more reason to argue that there are very few similarities between current WRC spec cars and the ol’ Group B.

Current WRC is, if I looked it up correctly, 1175 kg empty weight for a car and some 380'ish horsepower. Before, it was 340'ish for 1200 kg dry weight.

I simply refuse to believe it was depression that did him in. Wishful thinking perhaps, but having seen a lot of his TV shows and having read Kitchen Confidential, I prefer to cling to the (purely hypothetical) idea that he stepped out because the reaper was coming for him anyway. He would have been the guy who would…

We had the botched attempt to discredit Mueller with uncannily similar weapons, namely women coming forward, talking of abuse. Fortunately, one of them came forward with the fact that someone tried to bribe her into making a false allegation.

But is what you see in the news real/true or fabricated? That’s the problem with the media nowadays, and the sources that feed it. Trust is being eroded, so which bit of news is true, and which parts are twisted? Which parts are fabricated?

And you think that this missionary was the first soul in 27 thousand years to set foot on the island?

The Opel (Vauxhall) TwinPort engine (also the GM Family 0 and Family 1 engines) uses (used?) two runners per cylinder, one per valve/port, with a butterfly valve to close of one runner at low RPM.

But it also appears to be nearly four times as expensive. I’m not sure eight horsepower is worth a 400 percent increase in price, but that’s up to you!

There is a clear line between breaking rules (which constitutes cheating) and working around rules but following them to the letter.

Shees, yes, what does Ross Brawn know about F1 drivers?

At first I misread your comment. I thought: Well, there are similarities, both are sons of F1 drivers, both at some point suffered from the under-performance of Renault engines (possibly rebranded as TAG Heurer or Mechachrome).

Let him continue to call it bullshit, so what? He can disagree with what’s being said, can he?

Can you read? From that SkySports article:

As mentioned elsewhere: Up to Monaco that’s true. After Monaco? Different mentality, different driving, different results.

In a very clinical way, I get it: Stirr up some controversy, find the right angle to get more response, get more hits.

He already did that.

I don’t think that it is OK, nor do I say so.

The BBC had some very good examples: During the Belgian GP of Spa in 1998 a driver stomped into the McLaren pit to confront Coulthard, only to be stopped from actually physically attacking by 5 of his own team members.

The dick’ishness came from the fact that Max shoved Esteban a few times during the after-race driver weigh-in.

Oh, and just for good measure, Max Verstappen is definitely out to prove he’s a dick.
