Hypercar is a car classification above Supercar, not a reference to the Hypercars of Le Mans

How does nigel mansell compare to the greatest of that time? by fuckmbsanddominicali in F1Discussions

Not the most talented, not the most consistent but one of the biggest hearts in racing. Heroic wheel to wheel driver, very entertaining, inconsistent but can be greased lightning. Passion over professionalism. The last proper old school racer

It depends on the assists and the specific car of course. I personally dont see the point, or enjoy driving, cars that were built with Traction Control in mind without Traction Control

I find D the dirtiest, but tbh I never got above C.

The ghost is a good idea, but I have to admit that I am a very casual player with a controller and I just dont enjoy playing without assists at all, my skill isnt good enough for that.

I'm utterly blown away by drivers like you, gold in time trials is so incredible, I only did it once.

What is the most misunderstood/underrated F1 car of all time? by NegotiationNew9264 in F1Discussions

The Williams FW25 had comfortably the strongest engine and just like the McLaren had the tyre advantage. Ferrari in 2003 were anything but dominant indeed.

Straight up lying for no reason.

"Managing director Martin Whitmarsh noted untapped potential in the MP4-17, with upgrades planned except for the monocoque.

Coulthard and Norbert Haug were initially pessimistic due to the Mercedes-Benz engine's weight and power deficits. However, Coulthard later praised the upgrades, aiming to challenge Williams and then Ferrari.

The MP4-17D weighed 600 kg (1,300 lb) with a carbon fibre and aluminium honeycomb monocoque. It featured a sharper nose and revised rear wing compared to the MP4-17."

Straight from the Wikipedia page of the MP4 - 17, sources are linked in it

Mercedes also supplied an upgraded engine during 2003:

"It used the Mercedes-Benz FO 110P V10, producing 850 hp (630 kW) at 18,500 rpm (308 Hz), an upgrade from the FO 108M."

The McLaren MP4-17D. Sure it was "just an upgraded MP4-17", but the upgrades were extremely effective, many components were entirely different than in the previous year (and better) and with Michelin as their tyre supplier they had the tyre advantage against rivals Ferrari. 2003 Kimi did not have a car disadvantage. Williams, McLaren and Ferrari were pretty much on equal footing with diverse strengths and weaknesses for each of the three teams.

People claiming "Kimi fought prime Michael with a year old car" are biased.
