“Basically, the drivers of today are definitely overpaid for two reasons,” Marko told Sport Bild in Germany.

“Firstly, there is only a small risk that serious accidents can result in injury or even be fatal.

“Secondly, young top talent like [Max] Verstappen or [Pascal] Wehrlein can take the modern car and straight away easily do 100 laps without tiring.

“Previously you had even a Vettel have to take breaks because he was not used to the high centrifugal forces. This means that the cars are easier to drive. The drivers must do less.”

"Lastly, Hitler did nothing wrong."

No the modern Audi is a mere shell of its former self, a pale reflection of the greatness of Auto Union racing, subsidized by the greatest government Germany has known, and economic model for Bernie himself.

Yeah, she's apparently being replaced as lead by someone I'd never heard of but is a regular Channel 4 presenter. (Shows how much TV I watch.) Plus Jake's back, even if only behind the scenes as one of the directors of the production company.

obviously makes some sense for a company that sells machining tools, but for a team whose raison d'etre is to buy as much from third party suppliers as the rules allow, it's funny that they've chose to make in-house the one part that no one else does

Well given that a lot of fans have bitched constantly about the noise for two years and the new regulations are supposed to fix it, it's not a bad way to kick off your promotion for the year. Plus the McHonda engine had huge problems with misfires and cylinders being all out of whack last year which made them sound like a 20 year old minicab, if they have fixed that then there is hope.

They were still having battery problems this time last week according to *~my insider~* (pretty normal for pre-testing I would've though tbqh)

Well those battery problems could be not getting enough charge into the battery because the MGU-H is still not working right, which would be exactly the same as last year

True but it was a multitude of sins last year. If Honda really have got it together and the engine has more power without exploding then it's mid field until the MGU-H is fixed and then podiums, which will be nice.

Tsaedje posted:

It was a battery seal that was giving them issues in testing last year I believe. If I remember correctly the whole sequence of events and why Honda got hosed so badly was that they ran with the MGU-H disconnected because of the size zero/cooling issue and worked to fix that blissfully unaware (until around the european races) that the turbo was just too small and energy deployment would run out at the end of the straights at which point they had burned the majority of their tokens elsewhere.

The biggest issues with batteries is that the lead times on manufacturing them is an eternity, which isn't good if testing is like a week away.

And you can tell that it's fixed by that tiny audio clip?
