CratSock posted:In all seriousness, they are certainly the most prolific. At 933 races entered, They're over 100 more than McLaren, almost 300 more than Williams, and teams like Sauber, Brabham, Lotus, and Tyrell are all in the 400's. Having that much of a presence means they're likely to have a good chunk of successful results in the series. I can see the attraction to a team with that much history, and I can't deny that they really are a big part of F1. I'm sure someone somewhere has modeled an overall "points per season" success list, which would be skewed, but interesting to see who is best in that sense, and in overall history regardless of years participating.

keevo posted:Wait what was this about? Why did they help Renault? When Renault were having problems with the new engine formula Mercedes gave them a bit of assistance, because being both quicker and more reliable than your competitors gets really boring. For as much poo poo as Honda are getting, that first Renault engine was a pile of poo poo too. There's a reason Red Bull tried to get away until Renault sorted their act out.

Maldonado finished ahead in 9 of the races they both finished, Bottas only 5. Even in a shitbox outscoring your more experienced teammate in your first season isn't exactly underperforming

Mallya has been pretty irrelevant to Force India for a while now, especially with their big pink sponsorship deal. I can see them dropping the Force India name next season.

Wirth1000 posted:Aren't all Lego people yellow? Originally all Lego people were yellow, but now some lines have skin tones because of all the licensed stuff they do. It's not correct that yellow=caucasian, but it is odd that they chose not to go with the skin colour minifigs for these models. But then they got the Petronas colour all wrong too, so who knows? Low effort branding, probably added late in the design process. My guess is Lego designed an F1 set and then did a deal with Mercedes to brand it.

"Here's our guest, and they've died" is potentially funny the first time you see it, and because they had a different audience each time who'd never seen it before, they got the false impression that it was really funny and not tedious.

It would have been hilarious if Bottas turned out to be completely shite, but it seems like he actually has some decent chops, and you're going to have to get used to it. Having 3 + maybe Kimi challenging for the title is way better than just Hamilton and Vettel, surely?

1500quidporsche posted:He's had one not poo poo result in argiably the field's best car and your practically placing the WDC in his hands while simultaneously jerking your dick. I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt rather than writing him off after 4 races in arguably only the second best car which he has had 3 podiums, one of which was a win. He's not setting the world on fire but he's not the total garbage people were painting him as before he even drove the car. Also I'm jerking my dick for entirely unrelated reasons

Gigi Galli posted:The problem with Bottas is that he's boring. That's literally it. If he cracked jokes or frowned or maybe showed emotion we wouldn't even be talking about this. His driving is fine; he's not dangerous, he seems ok when he's out front. He's not spectacular by any means but we haven't seen much actual racing from him yet in this car. He's less boring than Kimi, but people seem to love him
