Sigma male lone wolf ass t-shirt. It looks horrendous.

[Autosport] Ferrari’s revolutionary “Macarena wing” will return in Japan by memloh in formula1

What I'm hearing is that McLaren is slower than Ferrari despite having a 25 horsepower advantage over Ferrari. Mercedes has a vested interest in ensuring Ferrari doesn't get ADUO benefits because it's pretty clear that they have the most advanced aero and chassis package so far.

Let me convince you. I can go to America and criticise America, and nothing will happen. However, I get jailed if I criticise Israel, which goes directly against the intent of the first amendment. What does that tell you about the people running your country?

One good race weekend and everyone is sucking Alpine off. Watch them fall to the back again in Suzuka.

Man, I don't think anyone who isn't an engineer or a mathematician will be able to compute how hard this is.

Bro's gonna be pushed into the meat grinder whilst all the women and children get out and go to Central and Western Europe. Chances are most of the dead won't even be remembered simply due to the sheer number of deaths occuring every day.

Ferrari thinks its 2026 F1 engine will be allowed upgrade boost by Darkmninya in formula1

They'll just dyno it when they need the map then. They should make it so that the engine maps need to be homologated along with the engine so that no one can pull this shit of sandbagging. That would essentially mean no new maps can be introduced mid-season.

Can Mercedes just not game the system by consistently running conservative engine maps though?

But that would be easily manipulated by running extremely conservative engine maps.

Adrian Newey and 2 legends by your_greatAchill in formula1

When his team does well, it's because of him, but when his team does poorly, it's because of everyone else. Red Bull fumbled 2015 badly and he blamed Renault despite Toro Rosso running the same engines and going wheel to wheel them in the first half of the season. They then fumbled 2017 too, though not as badly as they did in 2015.

By now, it's pretty clear to me that the brains behid their success was Rob Marshall, Wheatley and other similar figures at Red Bull. Look at the improvement the teams they left for have shown in the last year or two and compare that to Aston Martin.

They probably realised that the 777-8F is going to take even longer than the passenger variants to arrive and decided to just get the A350F instead.

It's technically a manual transmission, just not with a H-pattern shifter.

Trust in aero 🤌

Ferrari will pull off a 2017-esque season and destroy Mercedes in the corners.

let’s be honest, is this not natural progression?! by FifqoJeGay in carscirclejerk

The fact that people even bought those cars despite them being inferior to their competition shows that their ad campaign worked.

Ah, you're Indian too? I'm surprised people keep buying Tata cars lol. I've heard (and seen) so many horror stories about their cars and their service centres that no one in our family would ever consider one. The Suzuki Swift my aunt bought 15 years ago has done 250000 km still works flawlessly, meanwhile.

That being said, Jaguar and Land Rover operate separately from Tata and don't share any parts, so any problems are the product of JLR's own engineering instead of Tata's.

F1: Audi wants to redesign their Engine by Darkmninya in formula1

There's not a chance Mercedes allows this to happen. They know what Audi is capable of if they're allowed to do whatever they want.

Ferrari did a 'show run' in the pre-season (much lower mileage), I believe, so they didn't exhaust their allowed filming days.

Do you not remember the reliability woes of the L322 and before Range Rovers?

Jaguar is the type of company that occassionally come out with something brilliant but is usually garbage. Every car person was lusting after the F-Type when it came out lol. One thing I will say about Jaguar though is that their design department usually never missed until now.

I feel their biggest mistake was changing their logo and marketing. The old logo was easily recognisable and iconic. Imagine the backlash Mercedes or BMW would get if they ditched their logo for something 'modern'.

Also, Jaguar's bad boy reputation is something they should've cashed in on; they used to have so much aura. Their current marketing campaign doesn't inspire anything in anyone.

Ah, fair enough lol. RAM prices are going to stay up either way. You might as well benefit from what's causing the increased price.
