BRAWNY BUTTONS 4 LYFE

Rebus posted:

That, but also making the cad processes faster, the "right first time" fitment better, the wind tunnel sequences more time efficient and repeatable, the data analysis more automated, etc etc.

Seems like the incoming performance related budget and wind tunnel restrictions might mitigate this for the weaker teams in the short term but risks entrenching bad habits. Ideally you want forward thinking enough management who invest the extra money in improving the processes rather than just seeking the quickest gains possible by brute forcing through the inefficiencies with money and tunnel time.

Bottas would finish the race in the back of the grid, but he would finish the race.

Exactly this. Teams who have traditionally solved problems by throwing more resource onto them are going to find themselves in trouble.

Watching 1996. Aside from the Nurembergring it sucks so far. Paradoxically though the driving standards are much better than what followed.

Lewis doesn't only win because he has the best car, but there's no other car on the grid capable of winning the world championship.
It's the worst of all outcomes.

There isn't really another driver on the grid capable of winning a world championship in the here and now

Lewis might not be as fast as he used to be, but he is the person you have to beat to win, and that is a mental barrier to your opponents in itself

I find it funny that one of Grosjean's first comments about the Indycar is how not-poo poo the firestones are, like wow you can make a spec tire that actually grips and lasts a reasonable amount of time.

Bridgestone is really good at what they do (they are Firestone's parent) - they still are the only company in the last, like, 40 years to actually go toe to toe with Michelin and beat them.
