re: 2023 Formula 1 season Thread

As for McLaren's '88 season while I hate them I don't want RBR to be able to claim the greatest season ever though I don't hate RBR or anyone there currently, maybe just Newey for never designing a red car and building a lot of cars that beat red cars. Everyone should read his book "How to Build a Car".

You don’t like senna, Prost, both, or just McLaren?

Respect but disliked Senna and more people would feel the same if he hadn't forgotten to turn left at Tamburello*. I like to counter the oft proffered opinion that Senna was the greatest F1 driver ever by the fact in the same car over two years at the height of his capability Porst won more points than he did in the same car.** He was F1s greatest qualifier but his wreckers or checkers attitude even with a huge lead (see Monaco 1988 ***) prevents him from being the best F1 driver.

Love Prost

Hate the modern McLaren with the heat of 1,000 suns, this does not count the Bruce era because I liked Bruce. I might cool off some now with Zak but I just can't. Ron Dennis was created from a hemorrhoid cut from the devil's a-hole. He and Nigel Stepney can both DIAF (except Nige is dead probably putting blam on the devil's a-hole as we speak).

am a bit split on that because if they had done it they would have beaten McLaren's 1988 season which some of you know my hate for McLaren is unparalleled.

I'm with you there but Ron Dennis is gone and this Zach schmuck seems harmless and quite stupid so I've started to get over it. Heal with me brother

Hot damn, that was a good race.

The late yellow saved this race from being a real stinker. I get we got a different winner, but there has been far more on track action at a dozen other races this year. Also we had a driver go wire to wire.

Crazy with all the shifts...
And first two races are Saturday races.

thanks for posting the schedule

glad spa remains

That was an awesome race if only to see Red Bull struggle and the four-way battle for the podium at the end!

Do we think Red Bull's struggles will continue?
What do we think about the Suzuka circuit, except we want to go there?
Do we think HAAS will be able to score another point this weekend or is this the type of track where our tires will be eaten to shite?

Wish they would cut their losses on Miami already.

Vegas is being put on by Liberty/F1 versus using an outside promotor.

I think the main point that’s being missed is that backing up cars together destroys tires. That’s why it’s bad to attack over multiple laps and drivers usually lick and choose when they’re going to attack. Because if you’re within DRS range, your tires are getting fricked before too long.

Also great to see Sainz use Norris

I’ve got an extra set of tickets in section 103 for the Vegas Grand Prix if anyone wants them. They include the Wednesday night deal. Just asking for what I paid for them.
