#

Bought F1 TV again and it's just well interesting

#

Most races still only have highlights wuw

#

Still better than before though

distant elm
#

some highlights i watched were actually full races

#

so idk

thin pecan
#

They cleverly use editing skills to make it seem like a full race I don't mind on most but 1997 IS SO BAD

#

They use the fucking season review as highlights

#

And 1997 season review if anyone has ever watched it is terrible

rustic helm
#

the 1998 is really good but yeah, 1997 isn't that great

thin pecan
#

I was wanting to watch 1997 Belgium GP which is a really good one only to find that it was 7 minutes long

#

Oof

#

So watched 1985 Portugal instead

real pine
#

@thin pecan it's funny that the dorna MotoGP and wsbk videopasses are better than F1 TV pro.

thin pecan
#

It's a shame when something illegal has a better service except season reviews which are better on DVD

imola 1985 is a good meme watch if you don't know what happens

Is that when everyone ran outta fuel?

cyan coyote
#

yeah

#

||also prost DQ which left de angelis and lotus leading the championships||

thin pecan
#

Hehehe similar thing nearly happened in 86 again at Imola

#

Stupid fuel regulations back then

#

Btw the closest finish race on this is wrong

#

The top 5 were Gethin, Peterson, Cevert, Hailwood and Ganley

#

There was no Mclaren, Lewis and Brooks

#

Oof @LibertyMedia

#

I mean Mclaren was dead by 1971

rustic helm
#

Yeah that was awkward to hear

For most it probably wouldn't be

Top 10 records.. yet they say Fangio for his age...

#

Yet they dont say about him winning 4 championships in 4 different cars one after another

#

isnt that more impressive than his age

thin pecan
#

Drivers moved about during seasons back then as well

proven crow
#

Striling Moss was brilliant in loads of different cars too

calm comet
#

but who won 4 times with 4 different cars ?

proven crow
#

Moss generally drove for 2nd rate teams to get their name out there, his chances of winning were damn near nil and he was utterly brilliant in anything he got put in

#

Not discounting Fangio's talent, but Moss always gets overlooked

Hamilton has won in 5 different cars

saxophone on top ๐Ÿคฃ

thin pecan
#

Oh god that king of saxophone look kept coming in and out

#

Pretty sure Williams in 89 and 90 had a similar opening to the airbox

#

Actually nope

#

Uglier

rustic helm
#

their opening looks a lot like Brawn's

thin pecan
#

Looks like a hammer head top

rustic helm
#

for the 89 version

thin pecan
#

Dammn Boutsen deserved the 1991 Williams seat

#

He was faster than Patrese

rustic helm
#

yes

thin pecan
#

Probably would still be 2nd fiddle to Mansell though

rustic helm
#

but Mansell demanded that he had a 2nd fiddle, coming from Ferrari where Prost outright dominated him

thin pecan
#

Williams were waiting for Mansell to come back and Boutsen suffered for it

#

Even though Boutsen outpefromed that Williams in 89 and 90 by winning 3 races

#

1990 Hungary his best by holding off Senna

#

Mansell would never properly retire without a championship

#

It was a notice to Williams to get him back

long trout
#

boutsen is underrated

rustic helm
#

Even Claire made fun of him during the Williams documentary

#

ha, karma

terse comet
#

good

thin pecan
#

Nein

#

Williams make bad choices in general

rustic helm
#

he still managed to get more titles than McLaren

thin pecan
#

And could've won more

#

Anyway glad to see political correctness has gone wrong

rustic helm
#

when could they have won and did not ? Besides maybe 1991 and 2003

thin pecan
#

Trying their hardest to hold onto both Ralf and Montoya and BMW

#

Tbh having either Toyota or BMW was bad

rustic helm
#

having BMW was bad ?

thin pecan
#

They bailed out of F1 after 2009

#

Same with Toyota

#

And the engine wasn't that great as it was in the earlier BMW seasons with Williams

#

Toyota wasn't that much better either not helped by Ralf stealing their money and getting rid of McNish

rustic helm
#

so BMW was good ? or it was bad ? i'm not following you

thin pecan
#

Williams didn't have much chance with either of the two choices with hindsight whether keeping BMW would be a good idea idk

icy kiln
#

it was good enough to get a race win with kubica

thin pecan
#

After pitlane drama

#

Without it BMW would've never won the race

#

They didn't even continue the development of the 2008 car and focused on 2009

#

And that didn't go well

icy kiln
#

yes

thin pecan
#

And bang they were out of the sport

icy kiln
#

2009 car was shit so they withdrew

thin pecan
#

And no more Mario

#

Although he's still there

#

Doing something else for them

rustic helm
#

if if if

#

you can't say 'in hindsight they should have done this' cause they can't see in the future

#

the BMW was the most powerful engine they could get

#

and Toyota had much more budget than Cosworth

#

to develop their engine

thin pecan
#

And their budget proved to be useless when Williams signed up with Toyota they already had been in F1 for 5 years and had a great season in 05 only to not repeat

rustic helm
#

again, hindsight

#

they didn't sign for their car

#

they signed for their engine

thin pecan
#

This isn't hindsight

#

Williams were about in 2002-2006

#

Obviously

rustic helm
#

can you say their engine was the reason why they had bad seasons ?

#

in 2009 they were up there

thin pecan
#

Yes

#

They were up there in stints

#

Early in the season

#

And towards the end

#

It was always backwards and forwards for them

rustic helm
#

ok since you're an experienced engine designer and therefore expert, you know what you're talking about.

thin pecan
#

Nope this is all my opinion which isn't always right

#

I can't back down though

#

Still Toyota was falling quickly back after 2005

#

There is too many reasons for their downfall

#

Being beaten by your customer team is definitely a sign that you should start turning it around or you will have to quit

rustic helm
#

says the one in yellow.

thin pecan
#

Renault seems to be the exception yes

#

Has been for a while

#

But it wasn't good for Toyota

#

They fixed that by putting in Nakajima XD

#

Still wasn't enough

#

Money isn't a guarantee for success always

#

Jordan achieved more on a crap budget

"Nelson Piquet has been fantastic with me since my first day in F1," says Alesi. "It's a story nobody knows, but it's him who made the first contact between Ferrari and me."

Driver at Benetton at that time, the Brazilian took care of the contract of Alesi, that he added a significant bonus: "I have at home a Ferrari F40, because Piquet has put ' Ferrari F40 'as a gift from Ferrari. "

"I told Nelson I could not suggest that to the Ferrari president, he said 'shut up and give it', and thanks to Nelson who made this deal, I have the F40. At that time, no one had a lawyer or manager, we talked directly to people. "

"When you come from Avignon and the year before, you were working with your father in the garage, it's difficult to get to Frank Williams or [Luca] di Montezemolo and say 'I want this money, this position in the team, a spare car and a gift from the factory ', it's difficult. "

He goes back on what prompted Piquet to help him: "His career was almost over and as a friend, I explained to him who wanted to hire me and he said 'ok, let me make the contract' When he showed me the papers, I told him that the president was going to laugh and hire someone else and he told me to give him. "

"So I gave it, and I remember the president read it, looked at me, and said 'for a young pilot, you know what to put in your contract'."

What i dont like about Nelson is that his edginess doesnt know the limits sometimes

Well if you consider the fact that Renault arenโ€™t dead last in a street course it is quite a miracle. Joking but in 78 before lotus debuted their 79 was quite a competitive grid.

You had the Alfa powered and Ferrari scrapping in this for most of the race until the Alfaโ€™s retired and Gilles retired from lead. Also Jones having some extremely promising races for that Williams which was on its first full year post FWRC

Also some of the car designs such as the arrows being quite interesting
