I've made a huge mistake.
Correct. Benetton in '95, McLaren in '98 then Brawn in '09.

McLaren in 2008 should count as technically they were disqualified from the WCC in 2007

How does Honda make cars? Genuinely curious how Honda civics don't randomly burst into flames.

Ironically Hondas are THE most reliable cars I know of.

But not their racecars.

Benetton probably would have won the 1994 WCC if they had literally anyone other than Jos Verstappen in the second car.

Any time I've worked on a Honda I've had a pause and go "Why the Christ did they do it like this?" moment when looking at something. Maybe they're super reliable idk but they sure go against the grain for alot of poo poo for no good reason.

I mean there’s existential dread anyway due to being a goon, but it’s not F1 and McLaren related any more.

Honda goes through phases. They made good bikes in the 60s/70s but they started doing asinine poo poo with their designs in the 80s. Two gearboxes, starter clutches that are built into the crank, alternators that require engine removal to replace.

Counterclockwise Civics have a engine mount that goes in-between the timing belt. Like loving Christ.

Myself and various family members have owned a whole buttload of Hondas. My brother and I each had a software problem with our most recent cars. Otherwise they’ve been bulletproof.

That’s a great anti theft device you got on your bikes there Honda...would be a shame if it constantly malfunctioned for absolutly no loving reason, can’t be disabled, and your bike can only be unlocked by a Honda mechanic at a cost of several hundred pounds a time

gently caress Honda.

You can literally steal any 1980s Honda with a slim jim and a dent puller. They're loving laughable easy to steel.

Combination of general sports fighting over favorites with the fact that Gonzo and a few others were openly pro-Ferrari which made everybody else become increasingly anti-Ferrari just so they could dunk on him.

Yep I now, you guys had a few epic battles off track, but it was never 'turn your monitor', 'nice meltdown', 'my team for the win', 'Fraud x driver' etc, which is pretty much what I find here, jeez we had some good sarcy, funny posters that hardly post anymore, and an F1 Renault guy, unless he got whacked after Piquet's crash
