Not bad. Not at all bad name.
Wtf is that shite. And to think there must have been a lot of extremely highly compensated people that probably signed off on that.
mmmm very good question, I could add a few others.
Senna
Prost
Mansell
Lauda
Hunt
What's next? Nescafe Gold Blend Decaf racing team? STEAM Buy Valve Complete Pack BUNDLE racing team? The possibilities are endless now.
Back to the new race in Madrid, god I hate street circuits and this one will use a bit of a roundabout. Jesus wept. I hope they manage to design some overtakes in it somewhere. Interesting though that it's going to be right next to Real Madrid's training ground. I wonder how and if they will take advantage of that?
Good pointThe other side of the roundabout maybe?
Definitely not much of a surprise. When you saw the difference in how Ferrari seemed to favor him over even Seb, I always assumed Charles is to Ferrari what Max is to Red Bull. Curious to see if struggling will pay off for him like it did for the latter. Carlos will most definitely be gone soon though I'd say because it's been clear for a while he wants that treatment as well, and he ll never get it there.Not sure if this has been posted or discussed …

Fair enough. It's the BBC's list, I just swiped it.Sauber are now called Stake F1
Agree with everything, well apart from Mansell slightly, yeah he drove very aggressive but I liked that about him, I think he would do pretty well, very well in fact, but I can see your point.Schumacher and Senna both loved cars with very direct front ends that could be balanced on the throttle, same as Max and Hamilton. Both would be well suited to the top modern F1 cars I think but let's face it, they could drive anything. If either were around now they'd be walking away with it.
Mansell i dont think would be able to manage the tyres with his aggressive driving style.
The one who gets overlooked is Clark. He had such incredible feel and precision. He would have suited modern machinery very well.
No shock or surprise to be honest.Not sure if this has been posted or discussed …

Though 24 will likely be a lot closer up front, I think those committing long term now are clearly putting a lot of faith in the development of their teams with the next set of regs...and as usual some of them will prove to be terrible miscalculations.
Yeah I suppose as what are the alternatives for him and also Ferrari? Just think he is talented to win a lot more than he has been.No shock or surprise to be honest.
Very good driver m, that should have won more races.

Clarke only seen him in vids nothing of any great length.
Mansell had more to his game than just turn up and race, you dont win in F1 and Indycar by just turning up.From what I saw and read he wouldn't have put in the effort to learn the car and develop it fully. He turned up, drove a very mechanical car very fast, then went home.
As for Clark, story goes he could drive a shopping trolley fast. If whatever car he was in finished the race it usually finished first.

I would loved to have seen Clarke race live.
Would buying HAAS work , would the FIA not just see it has a FU will just buying a team and block any sale.They should just buy out Haas. Now Steiner is gone they're looking not just uncompetitive but boring and irrelevant. Dangerous combo.
I'm more than ready to do my part. Personally can't wait to see if I'll take Visa or Stroke F1 side though in their coming fight to use the least power units.So who's ready for the inevitable hatred being spewed again online for the 24 season? I'm not.
That would work,.Only thing stopping them buying and taking over Haas is Gene Haas. Think Andretti has tried many times before.
But with the failed partnerships with Russian companies and hitting new lows in lacking competitiveness, maybe Haas would finally come round to selling.
The obvious thing for them would be to fully buy out Gene Haas, rebrand the team, keep going with Ferrari in the short term and then look to go with their own Cadillac engine in 2028. And presumably put some Americans behind the wheel.
That’s the most bizarre rationale for rejecting a team I’ve heard. Not just because it’s ridiculous, but also because it’s idiotic and doesn’t make commercial sense.
This current F1 will never get a bigger name than Andretti and GM. What do they want? Facebook Insta Coca-Cola Mastercard racing!?Surely the obvious reason is that for the teams to agree, any new entrant needs to bring more value to the overall pot than each team would lose by splitting the money with another team?
Also given there’s a limit to the number of new teams (e.g. due to pit lane restrictions) and how once you’re in you’re in, I see why they’re hesitant to give away a place to an Andretti and block a bigger name which will offer genuine competitiveness coming in in the future
