Nigel Mansell's 31st and final Formula One victory came in 1994, when he won the Australian Grand Prix from pole in the Williams FW16B. The race is more famous for the title battle between Damon Hill and Michael Schumacher, who entered the season finale with 91 and 92 points, respectively. They collided on lap 35, causing both to retire and Mr. Schumacher to win the championship.

what a chad

[frozen prism]

really shows how built the Williams cars were for him

he nearly got a podium at Suzuka

but lost to Alesi by aggregate time

or was it the 1995 mclaren?

[frozen prism]

no it was just a flaw in the design and the fact that McLaren designers didn't anticipate it

although his weight had been questioned as early as the 90s

so i dont know why it was hard for them to anticipate it

I mean still I can’t imagine it would take weighing 100kg to not be able to race 😂

[manic reef]

I mean, i think until about 150kg you could probably still race, but not as competitive as the other guys, weight n shit, but after that they would need to re-design the car i guess

[round swift]

Name them all

[frozen prism]

because the cockpits werent as restricted

the cockpits became more restricted either to save weight, aerodynamic advantage, or just safety precautions

besides the 50s drivers like Fangio had more of that dad body

they werent weak but they probably needed to lay off the food

the worst

the merc was like atleast 4th or 5th

that ferrari finished 6th maybe

Definitely the Mercedes cars would be the bottom of the list

The F2005 would be the worst Ferrari

Close behind probably would be the F310 though

@oblique dock

What year is this?

[oblique dock]

I’m gonna guess 1974

I think Token Racing competed around that time

Either that or 1976-77

[round swift]

1974

The car ran a total of 125 grand prix laps before being handed over to Safir Engineering at the end of 1974. They ran it for two events in 1975 (namely the Race of Champions and The International Trophy). On both occasions it was driven by Tony Trimmer, and finished in 12th and 14th places respectively.

And what about this one

What do you guys think?

[oblique dock]

Hmm....

Wait, Minardi-Lotus?

Leyton House-Brabham-Jordan?

Oh, wait. I assume these are just mid season transfers

[verbal prism]

Yes

Please note, this is a slightly fictionalized universe.

This guy has to win a world championship to save his life, due to a curse put on him, but he has been given higher pain tolerances and endurance and less pace fall off with age to help him.

[oblique dock]

That went from 0-100 really quick

[verbal prism]

Yeah. I know.

But. I want to know y’all’s thoughts on his career.

[oblique dock]

um... I'd say his only chances of winning a title would be in 1982, 1985, and 1986

Actually, maybe not 1982

[verbal prism]

Guess which year he actually won it in.

[oblique dock]

1983?

[verbal prism]

Nope

[oblique dock]

1976?

[verbal prism]

Nope, but he did get his first wins in 1976, and actually finished third in the championship that year.

[oblique dock]

Well I'm out of ideas

If I keep guessing, we'll be here for a long time

[verbal prism]

Want a hint?

[oblique dock]

sure

[verbal prism]

It’s after all of your guesses so far.

[oblique dock]

So 1990's I'm assuming

[verbal prism]

Yes

[oblique dock]

I'll go for 1992

[verbal prism]

Later than that

[oblique dock]

1995?

[verbal prism]

Yes

[oblique dock]

I should have known that it would be obvious, considering the description mentioning how he had to save his life by winning a wdc.

[verbal prism]

Yeah

So, for 1995, assume that Jordan has a better car, and its sort of Karma for Schumacher for 1994.

I have the transfer for 1994 completely mapped out.

[oblique dock]

After Schumacher jumped ship to Benetton, Jordan essentially spent 3 years waiting up to the moment to show that leaving the team was a mistake

[verbal prism]

As stated, he races for Lotus at the 1994 Brazilian and Pacific Grand Prix. He filled in for Barrichello at Imola. Barrichello returned for Monaco, and he and Barrichello were teammates from then, until the end of the year.

[oblique dock]

Ah crap I meant to stick with 4 years, not 3. I got my years mixed up.

But still

[verbal prism]

It’s fine.

So, want to know why he was at McLaren for 1983?

[oblique dock]

Sure

[verbal prism]

Basically, Lauda decided to spend a year off.

[oblique dock]

Oh

Imagine if they signed Tommy Byrne instead

[verbal prism]

Then, Lauda wanted to come back, and did what Prost would do just under a decade later.

Prost be like:
Leave
Come back for one year
Win the championship
Retire
Refuse to elaborate

[oblique dock]

And then you have Mansell:
Win the title
Go to Indycar
Win as a rookie
Stay another year (for only a few races)
Return to F1 at the end of '94 with Williams and win the final round of the year
Go to Mclaren
End career after failing to fit in the car properly and the MP4/10 being crap

[verbal prism]

Mansell finally had the big oof of being the tall Indycar driver

For 1985, Ayrton Senna couldn’t veto my driver like he did with Derek Warwick

[oblique dock]

But Senna vetoed Warwick in '86

It's fine tho

[verbal prism]

That’s what I meant

But he did leave Lotus for Piquet in 87

Scratch that

I had him leave for Arrows in 87 so he wouldn’t interfere with the Senna-Piquet triangle going into 88.

He was setting times which were not much slower than those achieved by Jordan's new driver Ralf Schumacher.

[frozen prism]

way too long

first of all going from Fittipaldi to Arrows to Brabham then McLaren?

for a driver who started in 1970 if they were good enough they would probably retire at most by the mid 80s

or not even

like Jacky Ickx who drove for Ferrari and Lotus but didn't even make it into 1980

or Fittipaldi who managed to ruin his career driving for the family team

only Mario Andretti to my knowledge has been the only driver to drive in the 60s 70s and 80s

but he was a household name

Ronnie Peterson died in 78 but he was always in top tier teams like Lotus and Tyrrell

and even March when he finished 2nd to Stewart in the standings

but interesting idea

[past drift]

interesting idea indeed, but way too ling career for the era!

people didn’t start f1 until they were about 25 then

[frozen prism]

unless you brought medical and exercise technology from today to 1970 you would be considered too old or die

[verbal prism]

You didn’t read the note about how it was fictionalized, right?

[frozen prism]

yes but even in F1 fiction I like mine a bit realistic

25 seasons would be a bit overkill

[verbal prism]

Fair enough

[verbal prism]

What’s the issue with this?

[frozen prism]

nothing

just a bit odd

[verbal prism]

Well, I explained how he got to McLaren

[frozen prism]

Brabham were a bigger title contender than McLaren

[verbal prism]

Part of something incredibly complicated

[verbal prism]

Lauda asked him to take his seat for 1983. So, he wouldn’t tell Nikki no.

[frozen prism]

as a man who regretted leaving Ferrari

I personally would

but oh well

[past drift]

only if you’re nelson piquet

[verbal prism]

Don’t worry, there is still his sons career

mclaren in 82 was fire

[frozen prism]

so were their reliability

[past drift]

also they had the Porsche engine in the pipes

1982 was basically a battle of reliability

Tbf, 25 seasons is a long time - especially in those days. I don’t think that’s realistic, nor fictional.
20 seasons at most is probably what I’d do.

[round swift]

Jeez, the father almost raced against his son—

that’s, uh, interesting

I think overall it’s quite good, but I think you should shorten the (grand)father’s career, dude needed one more season to race against his son, that’s a bit exaggerated if you ask me

Speaking of fictionalised F1 and Alternative Universes, how would this sound:

note: they’re all around the same age and they’ve had like, 3 seasons in F1 already

(it’s an AU (alternative universe), don’t kill me for screwing the entire history of F1 pls)

i mean both arent to underestimate

Damon took advantage of the car atleast alongside Prost

which is much more than what his other teammates can say

and Jacques is a proven talent

when hes motivated anyways

[past drift]

he’s underrated i agree

and he probably lost his motivation when Pollock left BAR and was replaced by Richards

[frozen prism]

for sure

Pollock was the only reason he even was there to begin with

so with him gone combined with a mediocre car at the time he failed to adapt

Damon also improved heavily in 96

Why?

Oracle has a bad reputation among open source people

[meager pewter]

Ah

[past drift]

luckily, Java is open source, and that's thanks to Sun, not Oracle

[meager pewter]

Sun?

Sun Microsystems

you can see them on the McLarens around 95

Aren’t they out of business now

How close did any team get to a rotary engine?

Was the Williams CVT good?

[meager pewter]

The williams CVT would be dominant because it doesn't allow for gaps in engine power, and theoretically could be programmed with Traction/Launch Control

[oak spade]

i forget what year they deveoped the CVT

developed

[frozen prism]

probably would have been super dominant

the only reason that teams before didnt venture into that was either they couldnt make successful or reliable CVT technology, or they just didnt have the money or the tech at that time

[past drift]

around 93

[past drift]

and why it was outlawed, too costly

[oak spade]

Okay

[frozen prism]

yup that along with its unfair potential

[past drift]

it’s not unfair if everyone has it, like the sequential gearbox 😉

but the cost for everyone to develop theirs would have been too much

If the Williams CVT was a thing for the season it wouldve been faster the the FW15C

I think the CVT ranked in two seconds faster at Silverstone with David Coultard

eddie irvine - 1999 australian gp

[manic reef]

Just 2 or 3 points away from becoming world champion

1999 was a bit crazy huh?

[past drift]

honestly? just 1 point

and yeah 99 was a wild season

watch reviews of it if you can, well worth it

[manic reef]

Oh it was just one? I might have mixed up a bit

[past drift]

he finished with a 2pt gap

[manic reef]

Just the year 1999 was wild as a whole

[past drift]

but if he had 1 more, he would have been champion with Michael letting him past for the last race, with Mika winning

instead he would have tied for points, and Mika winning regardless because more wins

(doesn't take into account the fact that Michael was always the one who would have to be the first WDC for Ferrari in that era)

[manic reef]

Mika won the last race yes? And where did Eddie finish? I forgot

[past drift]

3rd

the Michael 2nd

[manic reef]

1999 would've have been even more wild if Eddie became WDC for Ferrari before Michael

But yeah

Johnny Herbert's first Formula One victory came in the 1995 British Grand Prix, driving a Benetton B195.

The main rivalry was between Michael Schumacher of Benetton and Damon Hill of Williams, but the two drivers collided during heavy battling and were forced to retire. This sparked a fight between Mr. Herbert and David Coulthard, which Herbert eventually won after Mr. Coulthard received a stop-go penalty.

Great Seasons: Ayrton Senna 1993
What many connoisseurs considered to be the peak of Senna's powers, Ayrton Senna started off 1993 in the underpowered but nimble McLaren MP4/8 but had no chance against the more powerful and technologically developed Williams FW15C but yet still won 3 of the first 6 races with the other 3 to his rival Prost, with his legendary "Lap Of The Gods" at Donington and after his record 6th win at the Principality of Monaco, he was even in the lead of the championship, but after a poor string of retirements, strategic errors, or car issues he had fallen behind even Damon Hill after he took 3 consecutive wins, however with that Senna was absolutely driven and won the last 2 races of the year at Suzuka and Adelaide and infamously ended his feud with Prost and showed fans that he had a lot to offer for next year. He took 5 wins, 2 podiums, 1 pole position, and 1 fastest lap as he finished a distant 26 points behind Prost, but had proven to the world that he was now absolutely the best race driver.

[round swift]

Did McLaren or Benetton have the second best F1 car that year?

[frozen prism]

Well Benetton had the factory Ford engine

So im going to say Benetton

but I believe McLaren had slightly better chassis

[round swift]

Yeah I’d say 1992 was a better year for Benetton

[frozen prism]

1992 was a much bigger gap

the Honda was unreliable and at times slower than the Ford engines

[round swift]

I thought Schumacher was third in the championship

Ahead of senna and Berger

[frozen prism]

yeah in 92

[round swift]

Yeah

[frozen prism]

but it was relatively close between Schumacher, Senna, Berger, and Alesi

sorry I mean Patrese, Schumacher, Senna, and Berger
