Take the plunge! Okay! posted:We truly live in the worst F1 era. poo poo used to be wild, less than 10 cars finishing in any given race. You should next try 1999 and hear Murray Walker do a mocking French accent when relaying what Alesi told him about his Sauber 2012 was really the last F1 season i remotely cared about

the tyres aren't pirelli's fault, they literally just did what the FIA and FOM told them. canada 2010 happened and because everyone was caught off guard it produced good racing and everyone jumped to conclusions and went "i know, we need to have pencil eraser tires" and pirelli were obliged to comply the problem is what produced good racing at canada 2010 was that the variables were unpredictable and you can't manufacture that. no one knew what the tires were going to do on the day so it all came down to experience and guesswork. as soon as you say to the teams "here are the tires, here's what their compounds do" they're all going to figure out the optimal strategy instantly and it'll cancel itself out you can't manufacture unpredictability without making it a monkey cheese clowncar series

f1 has sucked since 2014, even worse than 2000-2004 people who watch f1 for the harrowing midfield action of who scores P5 to P10 are the same kind of boring people who actually watch the tail end of the premier league or league championship or whatever else binman poo poo no one cares about ban mercedes forever

Take the plunge! Okay! posted:TBH Hill and Villeneuve were probably the worst two WDCs of the modern era. Hill was a bottler and a mentally weak athlete. Villeneuve was bad at everything. They won their WDCs due to a combination of Newey genius, supreme Renault power at the time, Schumacher’s teething problems at Ferrari and the sheer incompetence of the rest of the field. newey left because he understandably wanted to be a partner in the team in return for his many loyal years and all the WDCs he delivered. frank and patrick told him in no uncertain terms to gently caress off, and he went to mclaren, and williams went down the shitter think about it, they had a chance to secure adrian newey, the best designer in f1, indefinitely, and they chose to go "nah" they have a history of making GBS threads on every person responsible for their success and they deserve everything they got

ive read tons of stories about how newey desperately wanted to stay at the team and was willing to negotiate and gave them multiple chances, but their attitude was that he wasn't that responsible for their success thus they'd be fine without him its just such a colossal failure of project management that i cant even. yeah fire your most valuable employee, that won't backfire horribly on you at all red bull are frauds but theyre at least smart enough to give him whatever dumb poo poo he wants like boat racing or designing dumb vaporware cars for videogames so he'll stay

perez is an overrated midfield driver, his win at sakhir was a total fluke warranted by being in the right place from safety car shenanigans and Our Lad george getting a puncture
