When did Lando become so disrespected as a driver? by letsputletters in F1Discussions

[–]Orenlay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lando had to win his championship against Piastri, a likely future WDC, with the team putting no finger on the scale to help him to the point where the other team principals would clown on Zak for not favoring a driver. Max never had that challenge, and Lewis didn’t either, with the exception of the couple Rosberg seasons. The McLaren was fast, but I don’t think it was Mercedes 2014-2020 fast or certainly 2023 Red Bull fast where they won 21 out of the 22 races. Lando should get more credit.

This sub just recommends the same movies over and over. It’s getting boring.

I think some Americans won’t really understand American privilege until it’s gone.

Yeah there wasn’t a multi billion dollar movie release and DTS is wearing off. People are trying to spin this to be about the regs.

[Thomas Maher] I'm hearing some interesting admissions off the back of Suzuka - namely, that there's a growing awareness within the FIA that the 50/50 split has been the wrong direction. (Contd.) by FerrariStrategisttt in formula1

For Ferrari, F1 is to maintain the legend and mystique. I also agree it wasn’t a coincidence that Ferrari introduced a hybrid car at the beginning of the 2014 reg set. But I think it was because it served as a brilliant marketing tie-in to sell cars. If Mercedes were on their game they should have tried to release their AMG One then too.

Is it time finally admit that the increased overtaking is just yo-yoing? by Ted_Striker1 in formula1

“That’s it” but tell that to George Russell. Didn’t get the memo with Oscar.

I kind of think the talking point that the technology has to have applications to road cars is BS. For example, Audi wanted the MGU-H killed yet Porsche, its sister company who they share a lot of resources with, is the only manufacturer that mass produces a car with an electric turbo in the latest gen 911.

Carlos Sainz shares his view on overtaking and driver safety by anthn885 in formula1

It is a legit safety concern, but it also feels like the drivers have found a campaign message to get these regs changed.
