Okay thats going a bit fucking far buddy

I think its pretty fair

Nojiri did something really moronic there for a 2 time champion

All the better since its gonna be easier for Lawson

Moreso the usage of the word moron

Yes it was a big mistake but calling someone a moron for it cmon

Well its pretty fair

He took out the race leader on his outlap

You have to be pretty big of a moron to try something like that on the chicane no less

I think we have a different scale in terms of how heavy the word "moron" is

uneven orbit

Probably

#

I guess to you its a heavier word than to me

buoyant shale

Because id say moron is quite a really fucking heavy word to use in general

And for an understandable mistake especially

uneven orbit

Alright

Let me rephrase it

#

Lawson's teammate is an idiot

#

Thats better

#

Not that heavy of a word

#

But its still moronic what he did

uneven coral
uneven orbit
#

Yeah

#

I know

#

Otherwise even with the Mugen ride he wouldntve achieved what he did

uneven coral
#

His last DNF was in 2019 and that was because of a technical issue and an incident related DNF dates even further back.

#

Also Nojiri was eager for an overtake at the earliest because once past the esses (after the tyre got up to temperature) the car ahead just increases its gap.

uneven orbit
#

Well

#

I guess it was what it was

uneven coral
#

Yeah, it’s Nojiri’s fault but things like this happen even to the best drivers.

buoyant shale
#

and plus id still say Nojiri has a very good chance of putting up a good title defence against Lawson

#

I mean if he didnt crash he wouldve been on the podium most likely

uneven coral
#

Ironically that crash ruined Lawson’s race a little bit.

heck Nojiri is still P1 lol

could be a spicy championship battle tbf

Remembering Michele Alboreto: F1 ace, Le Mans winner and a good man

Michele Alboreto was not someone who became interested in racing only once he was involved. He was like you or I – a pure fan – long before he became a driver, and each year he’d make the 45min journey from home in Milan to Monza for the Italian Grand Prix.
In 1970, he was left tearful on witnessing Jochen Rindt’s fatal accident in practice, then felt the exhilaration 24 hours later as ...Keep reading

Is Sauber participating in any other racing series other than F1?

No

Did they ever participate ?

#

Sauber did sportscar racing back in the 1980s

#

They won the 1989 24 Hours of Le Mans, the 1989 WSCC and the 1990 WSCC

#

It's a shame Sauber never entered the 1990 24 Hours of Le Mans due to that race not being part of the 1990 World Sportscar Championship

#

why did they stop and focused on f1

#

or did they stop to focus on f1

#

i think i remember something from the sauber origin video

marble willow
#

They shifted their focus to F1

#

Also, Sauber had Frentzen, Wendlinger, and Schumacher in 1990

#

Apart from them, they also had names such as Mauro Baldi, Jean Louis Schlesser and Jochen Mass, who all raced in F1

#

btw, here's the Sauber C1 from 1970

i'd love to see sauber in different categories

I mean the thing with GT3 is that its very customer focused and as such manufacturer teams have kinda died with the end of GTE and the near death of DTM (well DTM has more of a focus on manufacturers at least)

#

So if they can create a regulations package more for manufacturer racing, faster then GT3 but not absurdly expensive and yeet some e fuels on there, have it for SGT, DTM and maybe even IMSA and maybe maybe maybe WEC
idk maybe could work

Or thisll all go nowhere thats more likely actually
