Never expected to see Damon Hill and Bulgaria in the same sentence

The design looks outdated judging by the 1990 season's terms, but still tho

Oh it looks very good

I don't think the top surface is bad at all, I think it'd be about equal woth the early 639

You never retire do you

This Erik comas guy seems really quick

#

His driving style reminds me of Prost. He’s one for the future !

#

Belgium: hello

#

He's the one who picked up Sennas helmet in 94 after the confusion allowed him to get out of the pitlane despite the carnage and people on the track

indigo sail
#

and withdrew immediately

#

although he would have been disqualified ?

round swift
#

Yeah. Must have been such a heartache

#

Senna saved his life, but there's nothing he could so to pay him back the favor

indigo sail
#

I have a bit of question

you think Damon Hill is a bit overrated?

round swift
#

Definitely

#

As a driver. He was an excellent at settings

#

He deserves his title tho

indigo sail
#

The thing I always thought about was that 94/95 ish seasons where Damon probably should have won it(at least 94) but threw away chunk of points

#

And the one year he won was because Ferrari were still under massive changes and Villeneuve was getting to grip

round swift
#

If he was this bad, they'd have kept Coulthard and taken Villeneuve

#

He was at the right place at the right time, and managed to stay in the best team for 4 years

indigo sail
#

I mean fair enough it was but Coulthard did went to McLaren before Williams could have done something ? or im misremembering

But while hill did won 96 i always felt his real i guess opponent was himself. While Villeneuve was a better driver than DC he did took some time to get maybe as quick as Damon

But then again Damon did do a really solid year bar the last few races wheee he got bonked by that weird Monza chicane

#

in the end you take the massive opportunity and he did!

round swift
#

Exactly. As for DC I dont remember yet, maybe

indigo sail
#

I liked the choice of DC to McL because idk who they would have gotten. Maybe Blundell for 1 more year but Coulthard was in somewhat perfect role

round swift
#

They could have taken Damon instead

indigo sail
#

instead he stayed at williams and then he got let go because he was too old + wanted old money

#

so they got frentzen which is great!

execpt then JV wanted to get clear no.1 which wasn't so great

The guy who sold it to me had several Matchbox and Corgi cars from the 50s and 60s, some in boxes, and he said all of them were imported from the UK (I live in mainland Europe)

# pure pike HKS made an engine?

In the early 1990's Japan's premier performance products company, HKS, set out to design, engineer, manufacture and test a Formula 1 spec V12 racing engine. Displacing 3.5 liters, the 75 degree, 5-valve 300E (as it was named) originally produced 650 horsepower at 13,500 rpm. It was track tested at Fuji Speedway in the back of a Yokohama/Advan sh...

#

I'm just wondering
How could Porsche make an engine good enough for McLaren to win championships with it in the mid 80s and then mess up so badly just a few years later?

oblique dock
pure pike
#

Possible

#

Perhaps they also couldn't figure out the N/A V12 rules as good as they did with the Turbo V6

oblique dock
#

True.

pure pike
#

There's also the team they supplied

#

I mean, c'mon

#

Comparing McLaren with freaking Footwork Arrows?

oblique dock
#

Yeah, I see where you're going

pure pike
#

My point is that how we see the engine quality is to some degree dependent on the quality of the car itself
Even the best engine won't shine when you're a backmarker team

#

We don't need to look far away for examples

#

Williams-Mercedes 2018-now

oblique dock
#

That is true

#

Or maybe the Ferrari 126CK

#

Good engine, bad chassis.

pure pike
#

I can imagine how many 1980 flashbacks guys at Ferrari must've had last season

oblique dock
#

Eh, I guess you can say that 2020 was Ferrari's modern day equivalent of 1981

#

1981: P5
2020: P6

#

Both even had the Scuderia clinch some podiums (even though 2020 was winless)

pure pike
#

The difference is the preceding season, 2019, wasn't really bad for Ferrari, three wins and 2nd in constructors

#

1981 was preceded by the horrendous rock bottom 1980 was

#

1981 still wasn't good, but it was some improvement at least

#

1980 fits the 2020 equivalent more in that matter, since they've won both championships just the previous season

oblique dock
#

Eh, yeah... maybe 2020 would be Ferrari's repeat of 1980..

round swift
#

@pure pike The Isuzu & HKS V12's didn't suck

#

Especially the former

#

And Porsche had a V10 down the pipeline for 1993, which eventually became the Carrera GT's V10

but after 88 Ducarouge who had revamped Lotus since 84 left

Honda left

I don't think they will return in a few years like they did before when they withdrew from the sport after 1992

i mean, they came back in name in 2000 after being still somewhat there with Mugen

#

left in 2009, came back in 2015

oblique dock
#

Well, there's that as well... but with Honda now focusing its efforts on Zero-Emissions vehicles, them returning wouldn't happen

#

In my opinion, of course

round swift

they might use another name

hello Red Bull Acura

Acura? In F1? The only time I remember Acura being in F1 was as a sponsor in 1990, which was for Honda promoting it at the Canadian(?) GP.

Starting with the 2012 season, turbocharging returned to Formula 1 for the first time since it was banned in 1989. While the turbo powerplant was
unreliable in its infancy in Formula 1, by 1987 the dominance of the turbo cars led to the creation of an entirely separate series for the normally
aspirated cars.

which series are they talking about here?

oblique dock
#

source?

verbal blade
#

nvm found the answer

#

For 1987 only, there were two other championships, contested by drivers and constructors of cars powered by naturally aspirated engines: the Jim Clark Trophy for drivers, and the Colin Chapman Trophy for constructors. These championships encouraged teams to switch to such engines, ahead of the ban on turbos from 1989 onwards. Tyrrell were the only team to run two "atmo" cars for the entire season and thus easily won the Colin Chapman Trophy, while their drivers Jonathan Palmer and Philippe Streiff came first and second respectively in the Jim Clark Trophy.

Coz they didn't evolve the infrastructure of the V12 from the 640 to the F92A

So they ended up running through 220 engines

It's kinda shocking how 1990 was their best year with the 3.5L V12 (even though 95 and 94 were ok)

yeah 94 and 95 were great years for Ferrari

quite funny they went back to a low nose in 95 also

it's certain Barnard saw the potential of a raised nose for the floor efficiency so... why going backwards?

It's a Ferrari 1512 F1 (also called 512 F1) and it was the car used by Ferrari during the 1965 Formula 1 championship together with the 1964 Ferrari 158.

Ligier is really just Matra with a slightly different name. But aside from the team boss, it's the same staff (at least initially)

that's why Jarier was supposed to join initially, but for some reasons he was deemed too close to Matra?

so he wasn't taken and they took Laffite who was friends with Guy Ligier

Speaking of double wings, here's the Lotus 76's Biplane Rear Wing

round swift
#

Saturday morning, journalists widen their eyes when they discover Villeneuve and Pironi Ferraris equipped with ... two superposed rear wings! They are in fact old front wings attached end to end. Is this a joke of Mauro Forghieri? Marco Piccinini affirms that this device would be legal: “The regulations specify that the wing must be 110 centimeters [long]. There are two end to end? The rules do not specify the number of wings... " In fact, it seems that Piccinini and Forghieri are purely provoking FISA in order to show that they too, like Murray and co, can circumvent the rules. And they will go to the end of their logic by deciding that their pilots will compete in the race with these fins.
