Senna was for sure the best driver of the 4 but just did not have the luck

round swift
#

Senna was only one point ahead of his teammate

frozen prism
#

he retired 2-3 times out of the lead iirc

#

so basically most of his finishes were on the podium

#

which is actually pretty impressive

round swift
#

The 1992 Mclaren was the worst mclaren

frozen prism
#

mhm for those Senna years

#

the 1994 McLaren however was even worse

round swift
#

It was the end of the dominance

#

Yes but senna never drove for mclaren in 94

frozen prism
#

actually Renault and Williams were the quicker car in 91

#

but were still unreliable

#

and Senna was super quick that season

round swift
#

91 had no active suspension

#

I think

frozen prism
#

yeah but a bunch of its tech gizmos were also unreliable

#

Mansell didnt score any points in the first 3 races iirc

#

Senna won the first 4 races

round swift
#

Yeah also the 1991 had a semi automatic transmission too

#

Instead of the manual

#

Or was that the 1992 season

frozen prism
#

no idea

#

the switch to semi-auto was also problematic for Honda in 92

round swift
#

1990 Ferrari had a semi

frozen prism
#

cause their gearbox was unreliable as well

frozen prism
round swift
#

Ah ok

frozen prism
#

but Mansell complained of how unreliable it was

#

he even threatened to retire I think at the end of 1990

#

before Frank persuaded him to go back to Williams

round swift
#

Prost did at the end of 1991 lol

#

For Ferrari

frozen prism
#

i dont think he threatened

#

rather he took a sabbatical to have a chance at a competitive seat

round swift
#

Yea

#

Ferrari misunderstood Prosts words when he called it a truck after he had some damage to the car I think

#

and assumed he called the car itself a truck

round swift
#

He said it handled like a truck

#

🤣

frozen prism
#

only Ferrari will fire their drivers for a misunderstanding

round swift
#

Must’ve been terrible

frozen prism
#

and in the pouring rain

#

and said the car handled like a truck in those circumstances

round swift
#

I don’t think it was that

frozen prism
#

either way he was already criticizing the team and the car before that

round swift
#

“In Japan, the car was like a horrible truck to drive. No pleasure at all. I've underlined the defects of the Ferrari throughout the season, but no-one has listened to a word”.

Hey guys, I want to make a project for school about F1 evolution for people who know nothing about F1 for a history class. We're just entering WW2, so it should propably focus on the beggining of F1 till the post-war era, I guess, maybe I'll go till today, depending on how much detail I wanna put into it.

Thoughs? Any tips on what I should focus in terms of eras and in general when explaining the era itself?

I’ve got to say, the 60s were probably one of the most “Honorary” decades of F1, the 50s were just a little too new for most of them and it hadn’t fully taken form as the greatest motorsport, and after that it has just been the F1 we know, but the 60s were just different, the drivers knew they were putting their lives on the line every single race, more than any other decade if you ask me, and yet they had some of the most incredible triumphs. Hill, Stewart, Clark, all of them absolute legends.

Carlos Reutemann defied team orders in 1981 to allow Alan Jones to pass and win the Grande Prèmio do Brasil. Mr. Jones was supposed to win if the William FW07C's were in a 1-2 position, according to his contract. The Argentine did not want to let this Grand Prix slip away, and he crossed the finish line 4,4 seconds ahead of his teammate.

Senna wouldn't have won 1989 because he had many car related DNF's during the season while Prost had more race finishes and podiums. Even if he won in Japan and Australia, it wouldn't be enough to win over Prost

#

Senna wouldn't have won 1988 as well, had that year's points system not been used, as Prost technically outscored Senna that year

In tv they said it was head to head race like dubai 2021

Despite the, frankly rare, loud Japanese commentary, you can just hear Ayrton dabbing the throttle of his turbocharged samurai https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJemzc6LusM&ab_channel=d5j4v

Extract of the French 1988 GP. You can listen to the different approaches that were used by both McLaren drivers related to the RA168E turbo engine. Ayrton Senna with his throttle technique and Prost with a more conventional driving style. Pay atention to the low-mid speed curves (not to the very low, 1st-2nd gear)

I am listening to an interview of mario andretti from 14 years ago.

Interviewer: Yesterday, you were talking to ron dennis about driving a mclaren f1 car. you have never driven a mclaren, will it happen?
Mario: Unfortunately no.

Later in the interview Mario described the time when he first met Mauro, and the other Ferrari personnel.

"They thought I was an American who couldnt speak Italian. So they were talking about me, making jokes in Italian. Nothing offensive. So I pretended to go along with it. Later I spoke to Mauro in pure Italian and the colour drained out of his face."

# mint nest I am thinking about getting tickets for Hungary next year. What is the situation...

I was there during the last gp here are my suggestions:

  1. Public transportations back to Budapest are really hard and not fun ( You will be in a train that is full with people have have zero space and no air conditioning for over an hour ) and then a metro which is ok.

  2. Food is not the best I recommend buying some food before and getting there ready. Its also not cheap.

  3. But tickets for a sit not the general admission , it sucks ( and you will not find a good place I promise you that ).

  4. toilets are good actually .

  5. About drinks, you will have more then enough Alcohol and water but I do suggest brining water and some kind of sun protection like sunscreen and a good hat.

  6. I didn't get there by a car but getting there by a taxi on any day of the weekend ( race weekend ) was almost impossible and getting out is even harder and almost impossible ( or you will have to wait 3-4 hours !).

About the merch pricing, its ok but isn't cheap.

Other then that the race was amazing and the people are really nice, I would totally suggest going to the race if you find a good way to get back to your hotel and you buy a sit and not the general admission. If you have any questions you can DM them to me.

To be honest, I feel like the Mercedes F1 W07 Hybrid should've have won 21 races out of the 21. They loss at the Spanish Grand Prix because both of them collided, and at the Malaysian Grand Prix Lewis was leading the race when his engine blew up, and Nico Rosberg was spun in the first corner of the first lap...

#

and the W07 still holds a lot of impressive records such as, Most podiums in a season, Most wins in a season, Most pole positions in a season with highest percentage, etc.
