Did Lamborghini ever race in F1?
F1 2018 Season
- Thread starter pauldyson1uk
- Start date
He's not had much luck with his team's duff calls again though.
nothing to do with luck , his team fecked him up, but if you mean during the season, Seb has also had more than his far share of that luck.
Looks like Max will hold it
Kimi’s The best driver today, should have won the race bar Max hitting him.
Max shithouses his to a win.. still today belongs to Seb Vettel though.
Lamborghini has no racing pedigree at all.
Deserved win for Verstappen and great day for Ferrari. I am happy.
Has the feel of a championship defining day, especially if it leads to penalties further down the line. Great drives from Max and Alonso, and nice to see Kimi genuinely outpacing Vettel for once.
That was a great race!
The stewards decided that Max had no case to answer , they know better than we do?
I personally have not seen it, so no comment from me about it yet.

Max more career wins than Bottas now?
People over here in the Netherlands are going nuts right now.
Some people seriously underestimate his allround skillset because he's too agressive and reckless at times.

Max Verstappen shithouses himself to a win. I’m still saying that any other driver would have been penalised for nudging another driver before overtaking them but when your the “boy wonder” you can continue to get away with the shit he does every fecking week.
Well they are not consistent with their decisions though.
nice 4th for HAAS
It was a bit crap the way they clumsily switched cameras fractionally before it happened, so you couldn't actually see what happened. Then no replay either.
Have they ever been ?
They are clowns then. He literally banged the rear tyre of Kimi which made Kimi lose balance. As usual, the stewards fkng over Ferrari.
Tell us how you really feel
That’s the problem though, they’re literally pick who to punish based on who they are.
Max pretty much gets away with anything despite being one of the most reckless driver and causing the most incidents on the grid.
They really just need to come out with a consistent explanation instead of changing their excuses every week.
There is no doubt that Max is a class driver and he is a future WC of that I have no doubt, but he has a bad reputation and a temper , just what a WC driver needs.
I see Mark Webber working for C4 and Sky F1 , nice double pay day.

Well yeah kind of my point. Not sure if it was worth a penalty, but Kiim certainly felt it and it affected his balance.
Tell us how you really feel
I admire the talent of the boy, he will go on to win multiple championship I believe but he is also very reckless at times and almost never seems to get punished by the stewards.
Pathetic comment
Great argument.
Is it me or does Max Verstappen look like the guy starring in Ready player one?
Looking at it again, I think Kimi actually ran Verstappen out of road - Max had every right to go for that gap.
It was Kimi's mistake that led to him getting that opportunity as well, just a few seconds earlier.
What a great race! My boring prediction didn't come to fruition at all, put it that way. So many talking points.
Gutted for Bottas and Ricciardo, especially Bottas.
Raikkonen fighting back amidst rumours of a Ferrari divorce was great.
Haas flying high in 4th and 5th, and BOTH Saubers inside the points!

Well you were the one making nearly the exact same bitter post twice within a couple of pages...
I don't disagree that he's been too agressive and reckless at times. But it's a really boring and one dimensional way of looking what he's done so far.
The guy is 20 years old, the pressure on him to perform has been stupendous this year. Don't forget our national football team is shite and we suck at pretty much all other sports, at times it looks like Max is the biggest hype since Cruijff and everybody wants a piece of him.
After crashing in the qualifiers for Monaco he got murdered in the press and by the knee-jerk 'fans', suggesting he suddenly was overrated and not ready. And he should've changed his driving style obviously.
The way he has recovered from this has been very impressive. This whole week I saw interviews with him where he kept banging on about controlling the wheelspin and he explained how the buttons in his steering wheel let him change things with regards to the differential so he could control the wear of his tyres. Of course he got lucky too today, but he's incredibly gifted, dedicated and obsessed with the sport in many ways.
First the headbutt comments, then this last week
And now he's won it. I guess he clearly doesn't crack when the pressure is on.
So you’re Dutch, no wonder you are so far up the kids ass then.
I’ve said he is a fantastic driver, a future world champion but he is also at times an idiot both on and off the track.
He also gets away with a lot of his reckless antics on the track which angers a lot of non-Dutch f1 fans as the general consensus is that the “he is still young” excuse gets branded around far to often, especially from Christian Horner which really bugs a lot of us.
Again, I think he is a fantastic driver when he is in the zone.. there isn’t anyone better in the rain on the circuit for example but at the same time he can be like that annoying teenagers who think they know it all, keeps making mistakes but is excused because he is young.
Eric Boullier's axed by McLaren just ahead of the British GP.
Have to say, much of what that racing team's doing seem circumstantial.
Interesting to see what the future holds for the team, they can't languish at the bottom end of the grid for sure.

Engine supplier in 1989-1993. Ran their own team (sort of) in 1991 off the back of an aborted Mexican effort called GLAS. The car is absolutely gorgeous and sounded glorious but wasn't very quick.
McLaren secretly tested a Lamborghini engine in their 1993 car with Senna and Hakkinen apparently really enthusiastic about it (Senna wanted to race it in the last two rounds that year rather than the underpowered Ford engine he had. Funnily enough he won both of those races anyway).

McLaren went with Peugeot in 1994 and Senna went to Williams and we all know what happened there. Wonder what might have been had Ron Dennis chosen Lamborghini instead, who were owned by Chrysler at the time and had said in a verbal agreement with Dennis that they'd produce a new, more powerful and lighter engine in '94 if McLaren signed with them.
That test car, or at least a show car version was in the Lamborghini museum last year.
How good do 90's F1 cars look, seriously? Wish we'd go back to these shapes.
Also, as far as racing heritage goes. The Countach, Diablo, Murcielago, Gallardo and currently Huracan have all raced for years in GT racing.

Great post. I never knew about their flirt with Mclaren, too bad it didn’t work out though.
Has anyone watched the documentary on Amazon Prime about McLaren? Just came across it last night and was wondering if it's any good.
Been trying to get through it about three times... Honestly found it quite tentative.
The Senna one though. Watch that.
Good to know. Did watch the Senna one before. Was indeed very good.
It is. The Williams one is on Netflix and that’s good too

WOW nice post , I had no idea, what could have been !
Senna is outstanding a must watch for any F1 fan , also Rush, centred on the rivalry between Formula 1 drivers James Hunt and Niki Lauda during the 1976 Formula One
