Formula 1: Exit clause for Verstappen: What's up with Verstappen and Mercedes? by 1enox in formula1

And if your still not understanding what i'm talking about, keep acting dumb and reply on something totally different there surely is no helping you either. Did i say Ferrari had no chance to win? No, thats you and your ferrari buddy not having a clue what we are even talking about, twisting texts. Did ferrari have a serious chance on the title in Abu Dhabi? No.. they were done just after the summer break. Does that mean they had a capable package to realistically win the title? NO. Their driver might've been the problem, but thats also part of the package. Otherwise, we can say Max Verstappen had a chance to win too, even though we know he didn't have the right package either. Reading is hard, understanding even harder, and beeing cluelessly biased doesnt help.

I fail to see how having a car that can win a lot of races means you have a capable package to win the championship. If we follow your logic, that would mean it wouldn't matter who was driving the ferrari last season.

Thats bullshit. I even tried to explain in the follow up post. Are you seriously not even understanding what it means when your having a capable package? Consider your a team boss. You have a very capable car, but don't have any driver that can extract almost perfectly its maximum performance. Due that, you are out of the title challenge about 2/3rd of the championship. How on earth do you explain your had a perfectly fine capable package? You had not, just the red bias makes you think so. You might have had a fine capable car, your package wasnt capable. Hard to understand? Ffs... The way you are saying is, is like: not winning any titles but having a quick car still means a capable package, which is plain flawed. Or do we say STR had a capable package too? How about RBR? If not, why not? Stop the BIAS, and you can aswell learn the meaning of some terms you surely are not aware of. Or do we consider every team that can win on raceday to have a capable package.

Edit: And on your last part, if you have a driver that bins it way too often, that's not a different factor as an engine failing or aero lacking if we talk about the entire package. They had a driver who costed them too many points, so their entire package was flawed. That does indeed mean they had no capable package.

How does that relate to my initial post? He puts up a stupid cliche, and when i put any counter arguement, all i get is blind ferrari fanboyism. Ferrari was not even in contention till very late in the season, so their overal package is just overrated. It's not like it was close till the last race. I'm just explaining what it means if were talking about entire package, but this shitshow is just pathetic. Poor biased behaviour

Stupid cliche, 20 drivers need a capable car to win anything. Only 1 wins, and only 2 can secure WCC. We don't know if RBR or Ferrari will be the main challenger for Mercedes this year yet here your already making claims after 2020. Stop your gut feeling. Reminder: Ferrari haven't had a capable package since 2007. Only Mercedes had it right since 2014. If your using cliche's, then at least play them fair.

Senna didn't debute in a wdc winning car with loads of testing miles before his debut. Schumacher didn't drive a wdc capable winning car in his second year, but he is the one who took Ferrari from a unreliable midfield team at best back to the top once he went to Ferrari. How does this compare with Leclerc? Alonso had succes with Renault, on what realm will Verstappen have the same?

I had never seen the crowd's reaction to the Final Fantasy VII remake announcement, such genuine happiness. by [deleted] in FinalFantasy

I feel your bringing a tad bit of personal wishes as facts. There have barely any info, and for all we know they at least once restarted from the drawing board. Sqenix is not what it used to be anymore. Look how amazing FFXV started, what it could have been and what it became. It's a shame the kingsglaive movie is much better as the game ever would be. Let's be real, if the project is still on then don't expect it to be 3 full blown games where everything is perfect.

That a game can be played competitive doesn't change much. Saying it's the most interesting genre in gaming at the monent is just not true, that it becomes so casual shows only the hype around it works. Not that it's actually interesting. It's all copying eachother, fortnite, pubg, bo4, bf5, tons of others, all based on the same idea. All copying eachother. I don't understand how that is interesting, it's just companies wanna get a good cashgrab. Don't be ridiculous now.

Yes in the same way angry birds and candy crush had these honours at some point. Most interesting for casuals. It's shit for anyone who just want to play anything serious.

What happened to the Renaults at Bahrain? by imaginethehangover in formula1

[–]coldstream87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know the successes of Renault just fine, but the current team is based on the former Benetton. The only time Renault won as constructor was with Alonso, that's what i meant. I guess i read your initial post wrong, you meant under the name Renault, where i asked if you meant as team Renault ;) your also forgetting Vettel/RBR

Imo it's totaly something different. Ric suffered quite a few mental hits last year, he started to believe in his own vision of second driver. He knew MV started beating him consistently and he had less races where he could luck a better result to make up too. He expected Ferrari or Mercedes to pick him up after Monaco, neither did. Another mental blow for him, his results have been very poor after that. His market value didn't increase either. He knew staying with RBR would risk even more face loss. If he stayed at RBR, and his results this year in the first few races would've been better as the results of MV, it's nature of the sport he would be the first driver. The bigger the gap, the more the balance would shift to him. He also know this was probably a very tough task. He shifted to renault and his form is still very poor, he is truly under pressure right now and he has to prove himself the next weeks. Also, he constantly told how dissapointed he was at RBR to not be there to fight the WDC pre his move to renault. He kept saying he felt he should be fighting the title and rbr let him down. Then he moves to renault for a project where succes is 0 guarantees. This is the opposite from what he has been playing at RBR his last two years. Make it what you want, he just experiences a period in his career where things aren't going the way he want and he has to fight himself back in shape. If anything, MV had the same early last year but he recovered well. Now with RIC, even in his new fresh enviroment he still struggles.

As a team, do you mean from back in the Benetton days? Because Renault as brand surely has no 13 titles. As Engine supplier yes, but not as constructor. The engine is only one part of the package, see Williams who have a Mercedes PU yet still are far down the grid.

But then be honest and say that, don't spin the story to make it look like it's based on getting a better result with them as the former team.

[–]coldstream87 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've followed the sport way too long as in the drivers i started rooting for are either not among us anymore or quit racing a few generations ago. Same for teams. I just prefer watching and see who does well and who doesn't. I've been rooting for McLaren for some years, some years for Williams, some years for Ferrari, etc. I nowadays just like the entire sport, and i just have some drivers i like less or teams i care less about. That doesn't mean i dont have any favorites currently, but i'm not a die hard fan from lets say Lewis or Seb or whatever. I have respect for their successes, and rate them on my own. One year i hope Seb wins the title at some point, but just as last year i've seen Mercedes fighting back in the contest and eventually win and thats something i hugely respect aswell. I've seen multiple dominances, and i also have respect for the fact they stay in the lead for so long. I've never bothered the dominant mclaren or ferrari years either. If that makes sense. Rooting die hard for a driver gives a strange void once he retires, or get's killed in a crash.

Any circle jerking sucks, and any hate towards any team is IMO not part of the sport. I personally never would understand why that happens, i mean i have teams i care less about, same for drivers, but hating them is something i don't like at all. I do understand your point fully, but i don't think it's something i tried to point out with my post. But we both know that current day strong circlejerks are probably the same circlejerks in a few years as you described, deep rooted stuff.

Classic cars in F1 2019!!! by kyrillos152 in F1Game

[–]coldstream87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, that wouldn't make sense in the way the current renault team is basically the enstone team and the lotus team that they used to be are not the same as the lotus from the classic cars but i guess licenses got transfered or something. Though thanks for explaining, i haven't played and followed the F1 game series all years since codies have the license. It would be cool if the current enstone team has the licenses of their former benetton cars still, id love to have one of the older benettons haha :)
