I have no strong feelings about the outcome of the Championship. I am happy to see a Williams return to form.

Wasn't that guy in charge of selling Ducatos in NA or something? Always seemed like odd choice for F1 manager.

Replace Vettel with Adderly Fong, IMO.

Tough choice. I'd go for the Martini one as it's simple and clean-looking, and also doesn't glorify British fake champion Nigel Moronsell.

Both of them are bad drivers.

I actually thought Vettel was talented, and it wasn't just the car. I mean, he was faster than Webber right? Then I realized that was never the case, and Webber is embarrassingly bad.

Honda should shoehorn the engine into one of the Super Formula cars and let one of their Japanese drivers have a crack at it.

I do know back in the day Williams built a chassis solely for Nakajima to drive in Japan, I think testing should be allowed if the driver in question does not participate in any GPs.

A shame too because in power terms they were probably class of the field.

All the greats had their own techniques. Prost had mind games (i.e. Balestre),Senna had the engine supplier build bespoke engines for him, Piquet called your wife fat.

1500quidporsche posted:I believe its brazilians in general. The only reason McLaren and Senna got the Honda engine was that Honda was quite pissed that Piquet wasn't given total #1 status at Williams. Once Piquet left Honda pulled the plug on Williams. In Honda's defense, I wouldn't want to give engines to Nigel Mansell either.
