I enjoyed the series but they overdramatize certain things and create storylines that don't exist in reality. The "rivalry" between Ricciardo and Sainz doesn't exist, for example. Also Williams are lovable losers.

Fair enough--I didn't dislike them overall but Claire seemed way over her head and only in position because of nepotism? Which I guess isn't unheard of in racing anywhere, but I found it hard to like them when she just seemed out of touch and constantly perplexed that they were so bad. The other poor performing teams seemed to at least have something of a grasp on why they were struggling. LeeMajors fucked around with this message at 13:45 on May 22, 2020 |

LeeMajors posted:and Ferrari just seemed like a hapless team coasting on name recognition and endlessly frustrated that Mercedes was loving them up regularly. good LeeMajors posted:The Haas team principle (I forgot his name) I generally liked because he was just a perpetually disappointed dad with poo poo results (Grosjean good LeeMajors posted:Renault though...Cyril was just kinda pompous even though their cars were terrible. The news of Ricciardo bouncing after he was so smug stealing him from Red Bull is excellent LeeMajors posted:I'm not sure what to think about Ricciardo. He seems talented and personable and I initially liked him a bit as a foil to Horner but he's rocketing from team to team. Can't blame him for leaving Renault though--they seem like a shitshow. good LeeMajors posted:Williams rip rebus but yeah LeeMajors posted:Sauber wasn't covered much, nor was Toro Rosso but I came away with a positive view of TR. they're just sort of there LeeMajors posted:Does all that seem about right?

LeeMajors posted:I mean, really, what the gently caress happened to Williams? For the most part they are just underfunded. Last year they hired Paddy Lowe and put him in charge of way too much and he dropped the ball on all of it, so that made them more bad than usual. NtotheTC posted:
Yeah, Wolff kicks rear end, you were wrong about that.

Fair enough. I guess it wasn't entirely a bad impression but it was only a bit of one season. I guess I should give him an Incomplete. He definitely wasn't in the Horner/Cyril Axis at all.

I really hope Claire can pull Williams up before they crater into the ground of financial ruin. I'm not confident she can, but it would make a great comeback story!

since you all are talking about netflix racing docs, i recently watched: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKwfDjfO9Pw has anyone seen it and do they have any historical context or comments? e.g. on scorpion racing or formula ford I don't know much about racing but I've watched this, DTS 1 and 2, and the senna doc in the past month or so

Drive to Survive is reddit-tier rubbish. It's awful, dramatized fluff. The first season was not bad for all that, the second is storyboarded shite. If you really want to learn about F1, dig out as many full length races as you can from the last couple of decades. It will tell you more. about the teams and drivers than some served-up warmed over television show. Edit: I should add, the Tom Clarkson podcasts that F1 have been producing have been excellent.

Rudager posted:No mention of Kimi "it's just like a hobby for me" Raikkonen, 0/10. Ah poo poo. He was such a small sliver in the series I barely remembered. There's a lot to soak in for a newb. Mea culpa. Zeta Acosta posted:1 is required viewing for every f1 interested person Excellent, reading synopsis seems like exactly the kinda thing I'm looking for. VodeAndreas posted:Season 2 has Rich Energy though. For like 37 seconds, right? Until he realized Haas sucks poo poo? Sulman posted:If you really want to learn about F1, dig out as many full length races as you can from the last couple of decades.

I thought it was pretty fun but you're probably right and that's the sort of advice I'm looking for. Any particular list of low-key legendary races to look for on youtube that are either super fun or very relevant to the overall F1 zeitgeist?

again i love how people here put themselves above redditors, when this was the forum with pedo mods, people making GBS threads on gamecubes, creating ziplines to kill mutliple children, getting their skull crushed by their own truck and instead of going immediately to hosipital posting about it, commiting mass murder, injecting so many drugs and then fell asleep ontop of their arm for so long that it needed to be amputated, buying a 9000 dollar gaming computer whilst living in a rotting trailer with their children, the mod who decided to build the worst house ever, the mod who couldn't shut the gently caress up about beef jerky, I could make this post waaaaaay longer but you get the point but somehow SA is better than reddit because?
