Silver Team British or German depending on who you ask Win most of the time by not making GBS threads the bed Drivers: A good British one and a mediocre Finnish one Red Team Italian frauds Don't win most of the time because of making GBS threads the bed Drivers: A German fraud and a promising lad from Monaco Blue Team Fizzy drinks fascists Sometimes win when the track conditions suit their car Drivers: A dickhead Dutch frog who is quick when he's not crashing into other drivers and a reject they had to beg to come back because they ran out of drivers who then turned out to be pretty ok Orange Team Funded by oil barons, definitely not tobacco and tech companies only nerds have heard of Used to win but haven't for a long time because of management incompetence Drivers: A Spanish guy who is reasonably good, a British memelord who might be good(?) Pink Team Literally funded by the dad of one of their drivers Literally photocopied last year's winning car because theirs was so bad Drivers: A Mexican who can be good sometimes, a Canadian pay driver Yellow Team French funded disappointments Worse than their customer team last year Drivers: A jolly Australian and a Frenchman who exists White Teams There's a lot of these, but they are completely interchangeable so don't worry Drivers: Rejects from other teams Aquafresh Team Used to win a very long time ago but they've been poo poo for years now Drivers: A British extraterrestrial and a different Canadian pay driver

So Ferrari tried to make a car that suits Vettel better and it's turned out to be a shitbox. Who could have predicted? Binotto not expecting to be able to compete with Mercedes until maybe the end of the season.

I'd say your Di Restas and your Davidsons are a step below Heidfeld and Hulkenberg just because of the latter two's longevity. Anyone who has won multiple races like Herbert and Irvine are a step above. Coulthard had the ability to be a World Champion in the right circumstances, but they didn't come, Jenson got his chance and took it, then performed decently at McLaren. Hamilton is obviously a contender for the best of all time. Then you've got a whole pile of one or two season drivers who either didn't get a chance to show what they had, or did and it was poo poo. How do you grade Will Stevens driving a shitbox Marussia for one season? Or McNish in a rubbish Toyota? I think we can agree that Jolyon Palmer and Max Chilton were proper poo poo though.

Oh I'm a big Davidson fan, but you'd have to place him below Heidfeld and Hulkenberg on F1 performance. He was definitely a top test driver and has proven his driving ability in other series. Irvine is from Northern Ireland and raced under a British flag. He's a big ol' prod.

Testing is exactly when you want the engine to blow, surely? You lose some running, but you aren't getting any penalties.

There have been way fewer failures so far in testing than is normal, so these very minor failures stand out. Alfa stopped on track twice last week, are we deciding Ferrari engines are shite too? When you're doing multiple race distances back to back over 5 days it would be more strange not to have a failure somewhere.

Rebus posted:Pride? There was a meeting where they got together and said 'this car lineage has had fundamental flaws from the start and everything goes in the bin before 2021 anyway, how do you fancy trying to copy last year's Merc instead of another year trying to compensate for a bad car?' I guess presenting it as a fun technical challenge in a write off year is better than just saying 'you aren't capable of fixing this car' I presume the idea is to come out of the blocks with a good car and coast on it whilst devoting everything possible to the 2021 car, which isn't the worst idea. With Strollbux their finishing position in the WCC is less critical.

Big Huski Boi posted:That seems like a relentlessly stupid thing to admit That's talking about switching to a lower rake concept, which it would make sense would have totally different wind tunnel configurations. They have been buying parts designed for Mercedes which doesn't have extreme rake, and putting them in a high rake car, so everything is compromised by that. It's totally ridiculous that they've done what they've done, but there's no suggestion they have been helped by Mercedes to do it.

FIA say they settled with Ferrari because it would be too hard to conclusively prove Ferrari's engine was illegal even though they strongly suspect it was. Basically just flat out admitting they aren't capable of governing the sport

The only person who melted down was Nico desperately trying to beat Lewis. Lewis had an off year and Nico managed to win by a whisker and then immediately retired because he was wrecked by the experience. Lewis shrugged it off then went back to dominating the sport.

It's a shame people breathe through the top of their heads like a whale, if we had mouths and noses on the front there'd be minimal danger from the top of heads being breathed on. People sneezing into their hands and touching surfaces without washing them is a far bigger problem unless someone is coughing directly into your mouth or licks your eyeball or something.

It's easier to divide reported deaths by reported cases and come up with a scary headline figure than to determine how many asymptomatic or unreported cases there are, especially when most of the numbers are coming out of places where they've been overwhelmed and can only deal with severe cases. GP friends of mine reckon they may well have been dealing with cases all winter, but without any way to distinguish it from any other virus with similar symptoms. There have been some unusually nasty 'colds' this winter. It's not nice, but unless you have other complications the danger of attending an F1 race is not high. If you are 80 and have heart or lung problems, you probably shouldn't be breathing in F1 fumes anyway.
