i'd never ever bet against Honda's ability to build a turbocharged F1 engine, the issue in the current era is i think making it work with the electric bits. history suggests that Max may find himself in exactly the right place at the right moment.

Vettel and team imploded last year. Now he has a younger and ambitious teammate to deal with. Unless the team clearly favors Vettel, he will have his hands full. A young Ricciardo gave it to Vettel during he last season at Red Bull, it might just happen again.

Senna, Prost, Piquet, Mansell and even Berger ![]() Hell, even Lauda was still around in 1985. And Schumi emerged in 1991. And great characters like Alboreto, Nannini, Patrese and Alesi. Happy days..

The one race I want to go to and usually the only one I watch all the way through is the night race at Bristol. So I am a bit jealous of your proximity to the area. |

Again, I must point out that Vettel has crushed his Ferrari teammate for each of his 4 years with the team. And for the past 2 years, he's even outscored the 2nd Mercedes. How does that make him done?
I put VET in the same league as Alonso. Each often got significantly more out of an inferior car than their teammate. I would speculate that if a Vettel-caliber driver was not at Ferrari, the team would not have been in the points lead at any time during any recent season. Really, it's a glass half-full/half-empty thing. But in reference to the question posed by this thread, I welcome the competition from LeClerc, and if he ends up being the faster driver, then good for him. I was hoping the same from Bottas, but it hasn't happened. Any guy who can survive a fatal plane wreck with his fiancee, then dump her, has got to be a wild man. |

Yes.
These guys were amazing. If anyone thinks they have physical bravery, simply go and sit in one of the cars from this era if an opportunity affords itself. I sat in a 1970's era Can-Am car and got the heebee-jeebies, the willies, and the shakes. Steering wheel, engine, steering rack, engine and transmission and sitting between 2 huge tanks of fuel covered with a skin of aluminum so thin that it only had one side. These guys were titans of skill and bravery. Great photo!! |

For sure - but many of them came from other areas of skill and bravery. This was the position my father had and what his view out of the nose of a B-29 as the Fire Control Officer & Nose Gunner during the waning months of WW2 would have looked like. Afterwards, I imagine the view from a race car was somewhat mundane, lol.

I can't imagine it because I have no idea how those cars were to drive, and how easy it was to extract their potential. I'm excited to see them in nearly the same car though. Vettel made some mistakes, but I find it difficult to harshly judge some of them. The Ferrari did some weird things this season that we've never really observed, particularly those very strange spins from ordinarily inconsequential front wheel to front wheel contact.

so MK, it's quiz time. last week no one noticed the person lurking there directly behind Clark, looking like he might be up to no good.
anybody guess who that might be? |
