Um excuse, but that is completely inaccurate. Calling it nazi implies only Germans worked on it!
However, we do actually know it's a wonderful cooperation between the British and German master races to produce the ultimate Aryan car.

If Pastor is in a Manor he'll be in such a slow car that it'll get lapped by Benzes all the time and therefore will be far more likely to kill Lewis or Nico than before.

Pretty great that Pastor is on his way out. Not only is he far too inconsistent and reckless of driver he's also ugly as sin.

Palmer was beating Pastor on the practice days last season so he is already proven faster than Pastor, bet he wont be as fun to watch though.

Yeah, RB were just spergs trying to hide their aero.

Berger has gone soft in the heda

quote:

Gerhard Berger believes Rosberg is better than the rest of the current drivers in the field, with the exception of his team mate. “With any other driver as his team mate, Rosberg would have probably won the last two world championships.” Further, the ex-Austrain F1 driver believes Rosberg’s close of 2015 form can trouble his current team mate. “Hamilton appears to be walking on a tightrope,” says Berger. “He always appears close to losing his nerve so if Nico succeeds in rattling his confidence, then he will have a chance [of winning the WDC]”.

Of course Rosberg is better than the rest of the grid. His car is magnitudes better than every other car...it has very little to do with his boring driving style.

Yeah I have a feeling saving the AAS is going to be dependent on the motors still working and then finding somebody willing to rebuild the shocks, I doubt anything currently made my tokico is a direct drop in but I'll look into it. I'm going to do some poo poo to it tomorrow so the thread should get updated tomorrow night or sunday morning.

I'm pretty sure Helmut Marko was worse. At least Berger won a bunch of races and didn't get his eye hosed up by a French stone.

Tokico doesn't make AAS shocks anymore. Last I checked you could still get replacements from Mazda*, but it was stupid expensive. The closest you can get is a Tien shock that uses EDFC. It's the same idea as AAS but a different system.
