/f1/ - Formula 1 General - Jules Bianchi memorial edition

gas the bikes race car now

Very good thread.

I have been reading stuff here and it kind of surprises me. Yeah I know they have been shit past few years but this year is kind of different.

Last year they improved greatly YoY from 2015 to 2016.After summer break ALO finished P7 4 or 5 times plus a P5 in USA. Jenson Had a P8 or something and all this was with a handicapped Honda PU limited by token system.

This year there is no token system. Honda can bring a different version of PU for every single race if they need to improve on something .

Their car is improving. They were clear 4th fastest on a few tracks last year after summer break despite being 80-100bhp down. Hungary,Singapore,S2/S3 of Spa and maybe Germany comes to mind.

They have huge resources(Bahraini owners and so on) and with Honda pouring in $$$ too.

Good drivers.

Not saying that they gonna be in top 3 but writing them off so early by saying they gonna go backwards seems like jumping on to conclusions too early to me.

>I think senna was better than prost

You could make an argument for 1966, when the engines doubled in size from 1.5L to 3L. The Jim Clark-Lotus combination should have been the strongest on the grid, but Climax's (Lotus' engine supplier for some years) 3L engine failed to materialize, so they had to look elsewhere.

They went to BRM, who also had a relatively recent championship under their belt, but in an effort to place peak power over everything else, BRM made an engine that was overcomplicated, hard to drive, had the center of gravity too high, and was unreliable, effectively taking both teams out of the title hunt.

Ferrari might have been in with a shout, but John Surtees, far and away their best driver, quit the team after being pulled from the Le Mans entry at the last minute. Honda, meanwhile, was still struggling to build a good chassis. Cooper, another team that had Climax engines in the past, switched to Maserati for 1966, but Cooper was already on a downward trajectory by this point.

There were a couple new teams, Dan Gurney's All American Racers and Bruce McLaren's team, but they were still establishing themselves at this point.

Thus, the title ended up being won by Jack Brabham in a car of the same name, which used a modified Oldsmobile Jetfire V8 as its engine. While not taking full advantage of the regulations, the engine was good enough and very reliable. Denny Hulme would actually win the championship with this car in 1967, as Lotus got the new Cosworth DFV engine which made them devastatingly quick but would need some more time to find its reliability.

Hard to say because of how much carbaby plays a factor. As much as I hate Lew Lew it's probably him or Alonso.

>>74495076

Of the last 30 years I would say:

Senna > Alonso > Hamilton > Amx > Prost > Schumacher

any conclusion is too early leafy but when you end 2016 like they did and start 2017 like they did its not looking good because every step forward they make other teams will do the same or more.
always two steps behind.

I really hope they do well, I want every team to do well but its not looking very positive is it?

Alonso knows that due to an entire decade of failure he's going to be remembered as the Mansell of this era, while Hamilton and Vettel will be remembered as the Prost and Senna.

Alonso also knows that the only way he can escape this timeline, and be a """""legend""""", is to do a Senna and kill himself, so people will claim he was much better than he actually was.

Don't be surprised if you see him taking dangerous risks, and getting involved in huge crashes this year, it's all part of his plan.

If Ferrari can stop being fucking mongos and give Vettel a car close to mercs it would only take one great season fight between them and they'll likely both go down as the greatest of all time.

Both of them are way up there in wins, titles and shit people just have the fallback of carbabby and muh unexciting championships despite hamilton being involved in two of the greatest final race deciders of the last 30 years

Sauber are owned by Ericsson's backers. Nasr is probably gonna show up in a GTAm car or maybe a LMP2 or Manor if they get bought.

It's annoying, because out of all the paydrivers that are in bottom level teams, Nasr could have actually developed into being half decent. Ericsson and Palmer are just useless.

>>74512352
They're not the elders, Kimi, Felipe and Fernando are the elders. Loowis and spaghetti boy aren't quite there yet. Once Kimi goes and Felipe actually retires Fernando will have won his 2 championships before anyone else on the grid had even had their first race in F1.

Yeah, Vettel is only 29. He could have 10 more years if he wants to go full wobbler. Lewis is only 32, hopefully he's gone in no more than 5 years, hopefully Kimi stays around. I want Kimi to be like Mario Andretti, still racing into his 50s.

>Lewis Hamilton says the relationship he has with Valtteri Bottas is already his best in Formula 1, because there “are no games” with Mercedes’ new signing.

>Bottas has joined Hamilton at the title-winning team for 2017 after the shock retirement of last year’s world champion Nico Rosberg.

>Hamilton and Rosberg spent four years as teammates at Mercedes, with the last three of those spent engaged in a private duel for the world title.

>The two drivers were close during their karting years and time in junior single-seaters, but a number of on-track clashes and the pressure of the title race meant that relationship deteriorated.

>Speaking to the official F1 website about Bottas, Hamilton said: “What I so far like about working with Valtteri is that it is all to do with the track - what we do on the circuit - and not outside.

>“There are no games - there is complete transparency. I like that.

>“I feel we already have a better working relationship than I ever had with any teammate I had before.

>“He wants to do the best thing that he can in his first year with the team - and with me being here for quite a while now, I want to deliver and make sure that I give as much information so that he will learn.

>“And we do our talking on the track.”

It's safe to say that Finland undoubtedly statistically produces the best racing drivers per capita right?

5.5 million people, Finn on the grid almost every year. Our worst driver to have driven in F1 is either Mika Salo or Heikki Kovalainen and both of them got selected by big teams and both won a race (almost, but you know what I mean). 3.5 WDC's, two Finns currently on the grid in what are likely to be the two best teams.

Why are Finns so good bros?

Oh I know that no one rates Massa that highly. But I just think he is still overrated because he is just not a good driver at all

I honestly don't know how he even managed to have a career this long. He is a paydriver who has gotten beaten by his teammate like every single year of his career aside from 2008 or something, extremely inconsistent, easily emotionally affected to the point that he can barely drive competitively if things aren't right for him (see: him as Alonso's teammate). Basically like a less talented Barrichello

Gilles is an overrated fuck. Just drove like a madman, basically a proto Montoya who crashed a lot. He died at age 32 and only had like 8 wins total. Granted he probably would have won 82 and become a champion. Don't think he would have lasted into the later parts of the 80s with the Prosts and Sennas etc on the grid.

>>74515667

The best team in the series went through a complex and expensive process just to secure him as their driver for 2017 despite the fact that they could get any driver on the grid to drive for them practically for free. Plus there's probably like 100 drivers with a superlicense that would pay money for that seat.

I guess they really believe in him, or having Toto Wolff as your manager is the best fucking move anyone has ever made in their careers.

I actually am still a bit amazed that Merc chose him because the process really wasn't that simple and Williams certainly didn't make it cheap or easy for anybody involved. Plus Williams is now getting a seasons worth of free engines and got Mercedes to pay Massas entire salary, so they basically have free engines and 2 drivers they don't have to pay a salary for.
