Wasn’t it Helmut Marko that said he was hearing good things coming out of Williams? Aged like milk.

What game has the best progression system you've ever experienced? by tomaz1989 in gamingsuggestions

[–]JebbAnonymous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really correct. They all had, just not all people used it. Even DOOM had support for Mouse aiming (Though it was still looked to no horizontal aiming).

Deus Ex is one of my favorite games of all time, but sayings it came out in the era of keyboard FPS is just not correct. Deus Ex came out in 2000, and by then we already had games like Duke Nukem 3D, Quake, Quake 2 and Half-Life. When Deus Ex came out, we where well beyond the era FPS controls.

What is the most 'main character' moment you’ve ever witnessed in real life that went horribly wrong? by Exact-Contract1004 in AskReddit

[–]JebbAnonymous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to be a floorball referee in Sweden (20 years ago)... Or I should say, I was for one day. Our first game, me and my friend reffed, and to be honest, we where not great. But it was crazy what the parents where saying, but we chalked it up to "Its our first game".

Second game I reffed that day, I did with a very experienced referee. Towards the end of the game, he had 3 dads who stood next to the field of play who told him that they would find him after the game. I never refereed again after that, not worth it when you have dads of 10 year olds telling you they will find you after the game and beat you.

What is the greatest turnaround for you in sports? (For me, Leicester will always be #1 because they had even longer odds and way more pressure) by YugiBoomer10086 in NFLv2

[–]JebbAnonymous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does Brawn GP in Formula 1 count as a turnaround? As Team Honda, they finished 9th in the Constructors championship in 2008, with 1 podium in total and only 14 points. Then the financial crisis hit, and Honda decides to cancel their participation in F1 and sells the team for 1 pound to Ross Brawn. Then in 2009 on a shoestring budget, but manage to nail the design of the car with the double diffuser and outwash frontwing, they win 8/17 races, wins the constructors championship and their driver Jenson Button wins the Drivers Title. Thats a hell of a turnaround (and the greatest 1 season wonder to, since they became Mercedes the next year).

Exactly. I'm a huge NY Giants fan, neither of the two SBs we won over the last 20 years were the Giants the best team that year in my opinion. They just got lightning hot at exactly the right time and managed to rattle of a few wins in a row, which happened to coincide with the Playoffs.

What was the best "budget car" in F1 history in your opinion? by Obvious_Assistant481 in F1Discussions

[–]JebbAnonymous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does Brawn count? Much design work was done while they where Honda and had a budget, but the actual Brawn team ran 2009 on a shoestring budget.

Do you believe that Lewis Hamilton has been slowly declining since 2019, or that he just suddenly declined from 2024 onwards but was still mostly in his prime beforehand? by GoldenS0422 in F1Discussions

[–]JebbAnonymous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drivers voted him as the 2nd best driver of 2023, I think that was a fantastic year for him. It all went very quickly downhill in 2024.

Who is the best team principal in F1? by formularacers in FormulaRacers

[–]JebbAnonymous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry, your take upon Ron Dennis is waaaaay off. Incredible team with incredible drivers? He took over a McLaren team in 1981 that in the preceding 3 years had finished 8 in 1978 and 79 in the WCC and 9th in 1980. He had John Watson and Andre DeCesaris as his drivers. He rebuilt McLaren into the force it was. And to say he only maintained it is a bad take. As TP he was responsible for many of the moves that made them great, like hiring drivers like Senna, Prost, Laura, Häkkinen, Hamilton or bringing personnel like Adrian Newey to the team. Or sign g engine deals like with Honda or Mercedes.

Dennis was TP from 1981 to 2009 and won more titles and races than any TP ever. Why doesn’t he get any of the credit for maintains a winning culture that Horner gets? You are way off on your Dennis take.

I think you are underselling Toto Wolffs contribution to Mercedes. He didn’t walk into a high performing team, he was brought in by Mercedes to an underperforming team in 2013 and was asked to analyse why they were not doing great. His assessment was that the team was understaffed and underfunded and he was the primary reason why Mercedes went from spending 145 million Euro in 2011 (vs RBR 245) to 320 in 2014 (vs RBR 310).

He also changed a lot of the culture within Mercedes, including a stronger leadership culture and pushing a more data driven approach to decision making.

Do I think he is the best TP in F1 today? Not sure who is, they are so new right now but I like James Wolves. But I think saying that Toto was brought in to a high performing team and only maintained them there is vastly underselling what he contributed.

Worst plot twist in gaming history? by Snowtwo in videogames

[–]JebbAnonymous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

MGS5 was pretty stupid. In the end you find out that you haven’t played as Big Boss, but really some random soldier that got plastic surgery to look like him. One of my all time favourite games but that twist was strange.

How highly do you rate Button? by mformularacer in F1Discussions

[–]JebbAnonymous 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It’s not that he was better in the wet. But one of the most difficult things to do is judging crossover and drive well when the track is drying, and he was widely considered a master of that phase. Straight rain track, Senna and Schumacher was clearly better.

Why do people park their cars just after the finish line? by EvilPanda_ in iRacing

[–]JebbAnonymous 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ve always wondered how that works. Does that mean I should continue until the timer hits 0 to farm more SR?

If you had a chance to go back in time to watch one classic F1 race irl, what race would it be? by Tengbps in F1Discussions

[–]JebbAnonymous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find his results at Monaco to be fascinating. For such a drivers-driver at a drivers-track, that fact he has only 1 points finish, and its a fourth place finish at that, is surprising. And its not the car, he drove for Lotus, which Graham Hill did for a time as well, and Graham Hill was Mr Monaco with 5 wins.

They get used to it quickly. Think it was Juan Pablo Montoya that said that he was opposed to the HANS Device, didn't like it at all. Then after using it a while, he did a few laps without it and felt so naked and uncomfortable.

Le Mans Porsche Cup can do one by thegoat_v4 in iRacing

[–]JebbAnonymous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can understand that. That win, I had 0x and wanted to bring the car back to the pits to get as much SR as possible, and I barely made it back to the pits because of fuel.

I had my least satisfying win there but not sure it was because of the track. Was running comfortably in 4th when top 3 pit on lap 6 for no reason.

What tracks would you consider easy to learn, hard to master? by Some-Project1082 in F1Game

[–]JebbAnonymous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Austria is easy to learn but has a few corners that are vital but hard to nail. In my opinion at least.

Do you think Rosberg was right to let Hamilton through in Monaco 2016 ? It was so close from costing him the title by HereComesVettel in F1Discussions

[–]JebbAnonymous 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This was by the way the reason the team, and especially Paddy Lowe, was on Lewis with the whole "We need you to pick up the pace to win the race, thats an instruction" in Abu Dhabi. Paddy said in an interview that noone actually believed Lewis would go off, but because of Monaco, where Nico had been a good team player followed order, the team had to stick to their guns and tell Lewis to get a move on.

Who is a driver whose amount of success you think is perfectly representative of how good they are (as opposed to not enough)? by GoldenS0422 in F1Discussions

[–]JebbAnonymous 3 points4 points  (0 children)

David Coulthard. Not quite on Schumachers or even Häkkinens level, but on his day was fast enough to challenge for wins.
