It's pretty wholesome that Lance Stroll's dad was so confident in his driving abilities that he bought the team.

If are Lance wasn't stuck at racing point, he would be taking Vettel's seat next year.

Prost and Lauda are better than at least two of those choices. They also had wayyyy better competition than Fangio.

Stroll is the youngest F1 front row starter in F1 history and podiumed with a loving Williams. If you can’t appreciate his accomplishments then you’ve got the same level of brain activity as Michael Schumacher

how did Ferrari's car get so bad at going fast when last year they were so dominate on the straights?

The FIA have mandated a second, encrypted, fuel flow sensor that would not be able to be cheated in the way it is strongly suspected Ferrari were cheating

I thought the fuel flow thing only came about during the second half of last year , did they also have that going on early in the season and in testing when they were still the fastest car on the straights ?

Beeing fastest on the straights is pretty easy. Williams was fastest on the straights for years while beeing in lower midfield. For some time IIRC Force India was fastest on the straights. Basically a trade-off for cornering speed, and hoping to make it harder to get overtaken due to DRS, when you expect a lot of battles during the race.

Teams got suspicious with Ferrari when they suddenly where both fastest and had actually pretty good cornering speed and good aero downforce. They tried to hide it with terrible race strategy, but nobody falls for that, because it's Ferrari.

Halfway though last season the FIA clarified that what Ferrari were suspected of doing would be considered illegal if they were caught and overnight they lost a chunk of power. Whether they could prove anything sufficiently to penalise them is unknown because they did some sort of backroom deal. The encrypted second fuel flow system is new for this season to make sure it would definitely be caught.

Ferrari's problems this season could be unrelated incompetence or a result of cocking up whatever ways they've tried to compensate for the loss of power.

poty's gimmick is rampant conservatism which just so happens to dove-tail neatly with "RULE BRITANNIA" but does not encompass it. I couldn't give a gently caress about Britain beyond the point that we very clearly have the best drivers and I have been entirely consistent with that for my entire posting career.
