There was an F1 racing article that talked about him pestering his lower formula engineers for an understeering setup and when they finally gave it to him he just started winning races and didn't stop.

Button likes a neutral balance but McLaren have only ever given him understeer, or so he complains. I don't know how much data they'll share anyway, but even if they did it wouldn't really help them out much. They're both gonna be poo poo drivers with poo poo cars with poo poo engines.

DiResta was like a Scotch version of Ralph Firman. Both awful, but at least DiResta was foreign and not really a Brit.

last night i was wondering what the completely random argentine USF1 signed, jose maria lopez, had been up to since his F1 dream fell apart. he's the reigning WTCC champion. i had no idea that series was so bad.

Any pictures of the new cars yet? I assume since they will get rid of the dick-noses that they'll look good again?

I don't know how much data they'll share anyway, but even if they did it wouldn't really help them out much. It will be interesting to see. I assume they'll be developing around Alonso, but in any case will still put together a poo poo aero package, even if the Honda turns out to be a beast.

I assumed the same thing would happen to Nico in 2014 because who cares about F1 unless someone is reduced to tears but instead we got a boring status quo WDC outcome.

You would think going into their 3rd consecutive year of designing their car from scratch McLaren would be pretty good at it.
