If we go by inheritance, Mario Andretti is technically the last time an Italian won a Championship

technically he raced for the united states as an american so it doesn't count

[white ether]

Well he raced under the US license but he is still genetically Italian, so he's an Italian champion

if i raced as an italian im genetically italian (as well as many others) i would be italian even though i was born and raised in the us

BMW was just a title sponsor

nope it was a bmw test car

[bright umbra]

https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/features/2015/2/moments-in-time---unusual-testing-liveries.html
Williams have run interim liveries several times in testing, most recently last season when they used a navy blue car throughout pre-season. But this stripy effort, which was run at Spielberg in 1999 during a test with incoming engine partner BMW, was arguably the best of the lot. For those wondering, ace touring car racer Jorg Muller is the man in the cockpit.

yeah thats what i thought its just a bmw otherwise it wouldve have williams written on it

oh wait yea

it was the 98 williams

There was that "little incident" in LeMans where Pierre Leveigh was killed and Fangio was nearly killed, he had lost one of his kidneys because his kidney disease corroded it so much, after retiring it was estimated he would have 3 years left to live, and died in his first month of retirement because of a potential blackout from his kidney disease.

[tough sorrel]

Forgotten Seasons:
Clay Regazzoni - 1970
Despite only finishing in 6 out of the 13 races and participating in only 7, he still finished 3rd in the championship and 12 points behind Jochen Rindt.
Jody Scheckter - 1974
Despite the fact I don't think he should've won in 1979, Scheckter was 24 and with Tyrell and managed to finish 3rd behind Clay Regazzoni and Emerson Fittipaldi by 7 and 10 points respectively despite retiring in the final 2 races.
Niki Lauda - 1977
While he won his 2nd championship in 1977 through being consistently up in the points, this season is overshadowed by his battle with Hunt in 1976 and with Prost in 1984
Niki Lauda - 1978
Coming off of a championship season and now joining Brabham, Lauda finished in the podium in all the 7 races he finished and finishing 4th in the championship
John Watson - 1982
In McLaren with Niki Lauda, Watson finished 3rd in the championship tying with Pironi on points and 5 points behind Rosberg in a season overshadowed by Gilles' death and Rosberg winning.
Riccardo Patrese - 1989
At Williams despite being 35 years old, he trailed the McLarens in the standings and finished 3rd in the championship.

I was just looking through RR, and holy shit, Michael outled Rubens (His nearest competitor) 682 laps to 105 (+577)

What makes that amazing is that he didn’t have nearly as much of a gap (Although still a big one) in 2002. This leads me to believe that historically the F2002 was the better car, Michael just performed better as a driver in 2004.

To put that in perspective, the next closest domination in the modern era was Senna in 1990, +446.

[spare flax]

Here are the top differentials:

Schumacher 1994 (16 Races) +366

Schumacher 2001 (17) +416

Hamilton 2020 (17) +425

Senna 1990 (16) +446

Schumacher 2004 (18) +577

Vettel 2013 (19) +580

no seatbelts, no helmets, trees mere feet from the track with no fences, cars that were pretty much guarunteed to catch fire if you crashed (the big reason for no seatbelts)

Nelson Godquet

[meager pewter]

And Piquet mashed his legs at Indy just to recover and do it again

[oblique dock]

And then he competed in sportscars driving a Mclaren F1 GTR

[white ether]

Truly a Piquet moment

Senna is said to be a poet when it comes to interviews.... meanwhile Piquet...https://youtu.be/PNcOdgg4j1c

In an alternate timeline, Senna makes a recovery from his San Marino accident and wins 5 in a row to take the 1994 WDC.

[meager pewter]

I mean the FW16B was a big improvement but

[analog jasper]

SHOULDVE BEEN PROST

[daring gust]

would have been awesome....

that, and niki lauda winning the championship after his incident

[tough sorrel]

In this alternate timeline Senna advises the Williams team on what to improve while recovering in the hospital

[daring gust]

maybe that could have affected where williams are now.... who knows...

[meager pewter]

He wouldn't have needed to recover in the hospital had the tyre not popped up like it did

Or the steering column or whatever

[tough sorrel]

Thats why I said he was just recovering

minor injuries

[tough sorrel]

he also died from the blunt force trauma

3 factors killed him

[meager pewter]

Yeah

The tyre popped up and hit his head like a sockem bopper

[tough sorrel]

This image itself shows all the stress Ayrton Senna had been enduring leading up to probably the last image of him.

[hardy yacht]

nice

[fathom oxide]

If the weather at Fuji had been better that day, Niki might have done exactly that.

[daring gust]

such a shame, but fairy-tale endings dont always happen do they...

thats what makes them so special

hopefully we'll get one of them eventually

[tough sorrel]

It was more of Nikis condition that stopped his race
