[round swift]

Ooo true

[oblique dock]

The 183T just looks like a clone of the MP4/2, but with black wings

[bright umbra]

and a worse car

[short glade]

early 80s cars were cigarette boxes on wheels

[oblique dock]

The 182 was Alfa Romeo’s best car

[tough sorrel]

i mean really the only distinction between them is the wing color, the slightly more white rear livery and the alfo romeo logo

[round swift]

Me winning the 1957 German Grand Prix

In the 1958 Portuguese Grand Prix, Stirling Moss went out of his way to help Mike Hawthorn, who would go on to win the title at Moss's expense. Stirling did not think twice about an honourable act that, in a sad reflection of changing priorities and pressures, would be deemed totally ridiculous today. Imagine Lewis Hamilton going to protest a penalty Max Verstappen had or Ayrton Senna protesting a penalty Prost received.

why does sonics look feel like hes gonna devour prost

[tough sorrel]

we all know that was senna in a costume trying to snatch a peek of the car

this proves my point

[short glade]

so thats why he went to williams for 1994

[woven zinc]

the Coloni C3, when Subaru entering as a factory engine supplier couldn't save Coloni from constant DNPQ's

ironically when Coloni ditched the Subaru engines for Ford DFR V8's, their results would improve to just DNQ's

may i ask what is dnpq?

if u want engine but cant get the good bois just get ford

[oblique dock]

What about Ilmor or Judd?

[short glade]

idk

[round swift]

Ilmor = Mercedes

[woven zinc]

Judd was crap

[round swift]

no need to expand further

[woven zinc]

and yeah

[short glade]

mercedes = unreliable v10s

[woven zinc]

I mean, it even got Coloni out of pre-qualifying in 1990 so

[short glade]

yea

[round swift]

The Yamaha of Hill in 97 was basically a Judd

[oblique dock]

Judd and Yamaha had an alliance with each other at the time iirc

[round swift]

ye, after 92, Yamaha is Yamaha x Judd

[woven zinc]

wonder how that 97 Yamaha would've fared in that year's Williams

[oblique dock]

I’m not too sure about that

[round swift]

not very well i reckon

[short glade]

put the 1991 benetton spec ford v8 into the 97 williams

[woven zinc]

was asking that because I was wondering how good the 97 Arrows really was

[oblique dock]

||Put an old Tag Porsche V6 in the 1988 FW12||

[woven zinc]

ah, so the Supertec way

[round swift]

it got aerodynamically good for Hungary, when Barnard fixed some issues

then the car was okay, but still held back by its weak engine

[woven zinc]

yeah

wonder how they would've fared with, say, a Peugeot

[round swift]

probably a bit better than a Jordan

[tough sorrel]

people dont know that judd was formed by jack brabham

[short glade]

||put an old qualifying spec bmw v6 into the current merc||

[oblique dock]

Bmw never made V6’s in F1

Don’t you mean I4’s?

[short glade]

yeeaa

[round swift]

they never made inline-6s in F1 neither 😦

[short glade]

keep forgetting it wasnt just v6s in the turbo era

[round swift]

in that turbo era, V6 was the best compromise

but there were many inline-4s

[short glade]

mercedes turbo hybrid i4 when

[round swift]

maybe 2025

[oblique dock]

What if F1 used 2 stroke inline 3’s?

[short glade]

isnt the 2025 engine regs just increasing rpm limiter and maybe some other stuff

[short glade]

hmm

[round swift]

it's too far ahead in the future, we don't know

[short glade]

rip

we need time travellers

[tough sorrel]

its quite ironic how some of the best teams in the v6 turbo era didnt use v6 turbos

[low valve]

The best teams being....

[round swift]

the v6 turbo era is right now

since the fact it's a V6 is forced in the regs now, it wasn't then

Alfa Romeo even had a V8T

[low valve]

V6 turbo hybrid is now

[round swift]

yes

[low valve]

He means v6 turbo

As in the 80s

I think

[round swift]

the 80s is just the turbo era, if we must put a label on it

the only top team of the time not to use a V6 for their turbo engine is Brabham which used a BMW inline-4

Renault, Ferrari, McLaren, Williams, Lotus all used a V6

[tough sorrel]

williams before in the early 80s didnt

neither did brabham

[round swift]

which is why i specified for their turbo engine

everyone (except Renault) transitionned from an NA engine to a Turbo engine

[meager pewter]

Yes they did? What?

Oh wait BMW

Sorry

[oblique dock]

All the other teams during the turbo era used either zakspeed or hart inline 4’s and the Cossie V8’s

[round swift]

ye if you had no money, you'd use Hart's inline-4

nobody bar Zakspeed used the Zakspeed

[oblique dock]

Just ask Toleman and the first Haas team

[round swift]

they should've been able to afford a BMW at least

although Lola had the Ford turbo in 86

[oblique dock]

Yeah. The GBA V6 wasn’t as good as the other V6’s, sadly.

[round swift]

nope

[oblique dock]

oh?

[round swift]

it was so good they already dropped it in 88 when the turbos were still allowed

[oblique dock]

Y’know what… Maybe more teams should have used the GBA V6 instead of the DFZ

idk

[round swift]

maybe, but then even Benetton, the works Ford team dropped it in favour of the DFR

[oblique dock]

The DFR was a good engine

[round swift]

they did good to start it 1 year early

they even had a solid 88 campaign without a turbo engine

Fun Fact: The Tyrell 002 used in 1971-72 was essentially the Tyrell 001 but with design changes to fit Francois Cevert as he was taller than Jackie Stewart

[round swift]

yeah, these weren't really models, but more chassis

nobody drove the 002 but Cevert, nobody drove the 003 but Stewart..

the first real "series" produced Tyrrell would be the 006

[tough sorrel]

yeah the 002 was Cevert the 003 was for Stewart in '71 and the 004 in '72 but these were just different designs of the 001 and the 005 wasn't that good and was replaced by the 006 used by both Cevert and Stewart

We suspect though that Senna doesn’t just wear his Tag-Heuer watch because it’s water resistant to 200 metres, but more likely for its precision timing, screw-in crown, double safety bracelet, uni-directional turning bezel and mineral glass.
And just in case Mr. Senna doesn’t win the next Grand Prix, our watches are also shock resistant

It ain't copying if it isn't the same exact thing

He did WDC, i'm doing WCC and apparently dwang is doing both

[weak ridge]

ball and land o lakes are both doing this but separately so this is a little repetitive but its still cool to see both at once

just look at how smooth he is 😳

[round swift]

it looks more bumpy than smooth lol

[agile surge]

that's because it's old onboard

the cars were bumpy back then

regardless of that, look at how comparatively little countersteer he has to do

he's not fighting the car

[round swift]

ye Prost was that kind of smooth driver like Stewart

while Senna wrestled the car a lot

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auXfAHHNSFo you know the classic

there's a thing that confuses me: how Schumacher managed to beat Senna to P3 WDC in 1992, but not in 1993

[oblique dock]

There is something so hideous about that variation of the MP4/10

[round swift]

as thick as Nigel then

[short glade]

lmao

couldnt even fit in the car at first

[round swift]

one of the early re-adopters of the shark fin

[round swift]

in the end, it's Mercedes who pushed for Nigel

Ronald didn't like him

[short glade]

mp4-11 steering wheel was thicc too for some reason

looked like it had an airbag

[round swift]

yeah many cars did at the time

think the williams also had this bump

ok no they didn't

[short glade]

when u crash instead of breaking ur skull on the wheel u break ur skull on that bump

[round swift]

they had one somewhat in 97

[round swift]

https://tenor.com/view/messirve-gif-20271650

[short glade]

mp4-16

had smol bump

i think all of the mclaren merc wheels had that small bump

after this

not the 2011 wheel

or the 2010 one

[round swift]

2009 has it

wait.

not it doesn;t

2008 definitely does tho

[short glade]

up until the mp4-23 they had a bump for the mercedes logo

after that it was just flat

[round swift]

wonder why they kept it and why it was there

@McLarenF1 Hello! Noticed you had a bump / cushion on the steering wheels for a long time, until 2009 if i can see right, can you tell me what that was for?

Underrated livery

[short glade]

very

[woven zinc]

was that actually real what

[short glade]

oh yea

it was

the mp4-11's steering wheel that looked like it had an airbag

[woven zinc]

that looks so unsafe

[short glade]

heres mika in it

even tho the picture resolution is bad

[woven zinc]

did they actually use it in races or was it only tested

[short glade]

i have no idea but i cant find any other pictures of the wheel for that car

so it was probably that for the whole season

for 1997 they changed it

[meager pewter]

Fave Sauber les go

[round swift]

the reason they don't have airbags is :

they're not safe

[short glade]

well yea

u cant slam ur face into it anyway due to seatbelt tightness

[round swift]

and

it would obstruct the driver if got stuck in anyway

and if u have to evacuate in less than 6 seconds then it could be deadly (worst case senario)

[short glade]

yea

u need to gtfo f a s t or ur dead

[round swift]

yo it was a joke, airbags would be useless.

okie

[agile surge]

you don’t even need airbags in f1

nobody’s head slams into the steering wheel anyways

[round swift]

yea harness

[short glade]

and u have the hans

that prevents ur head from even going much

[round swift]

and safety locks

and head rests

etc

[round swift]

Not anymore, but Stirling Moss' racing career ended up in his steering wheel back in early 1962

[agile surge]

well yes

not anymore

[round swift]

don;'t know if they had safety belts then

they had

because that would just be insane

wouldn't be so sure

they were more frightened of being trapped in a fire

yea

than being thrown out of their car

[agile surge]

this is 1960s f1, everyone was insane

[round swift]

idk if it was restored

no that looks like a regular car

probably the 68 Ferrari

[round swift]

i think you're right

yep no belts or anything like it

bathtub racing

yeah basically a bathtub with wheels and an engine

[agile surge]

f1 back then was a gokart with a huge engine in the back

and drivers who just hoped it wouldn’t flip over or blow up

[icy veldt]

Such a romantic story

I mean we can make it into a romantic story haha

[agile surge]

many of you know the MP4/4 as the most dominant car in formula 1 ever, and a lot of you know that it doesn’t have an airbox (that was the MP4/5)

but there was a version of the MP4/4 built for testing purposes with (yes) an airbox, as you can see there. the MP4/4B was used for testing, and you can see that it kinda looks like MP4/4 and an MP4/5 that had a weird baby.

anyways… the MP4/4B

[oblique dock]

https://youtu.be/EX1Q-90LfpI

As featured in best motoring

[agile surge]

also this absolute monstrosity, the MP4/5B high nose

[signal flint]

Thats ugly but cool

[round swift]

They didn't understand what made the high nose efficient

The front wing must be low, and ideally separate from thr nose

[round swift]

Yes, the Benetton dudes are the first to do it. But as of 1990 only Tyrrell had a high nose

[agile surge]

or even better from the same year (1990) the Tyrrell 019

[agile surge]

ye, I think they did it first in 91?

[round swift]

Yep

[agile surge]

with the B191

very cool

the Tyrrell did it kinda in 1990 and McLaren wanted to replicate that

obviously no success since they didn’t race with that horrible nose

[round swift]

Yiu can guess why: it changes the front aero completely

[agile surge]

I think the last time we saw the high nose cone with the low hanging wing was 2013

[agile surge]

yeah

[round swift]

Put the front wing back where it was near the ground, make it one piece, attach it to the nose with 2 pillars and you're good to go

[agile surge]

it wasn’t something that was really explored

[round swift]

It was very much a thing in 2014 but tbe dong hid it somehow

Yeah. I suppose they weren't too sure what to do with that. It chnaged the aero philosophy a lot actually

You could make the floor work a lot more

[round swift]

Interesting did not know I wonder if this was one of the 6 chassis’s of the 4/4

[agile surge]

it wasn’t

it was a test version with the airbox

they refined that idea to make the MP4/5

it never raced in a GP

[woven zinc]

@topaz cape yeah this isn't exactly #classic-motorsport material, as it's post-2001

I was listening a podcast from 2010 which featured Lauda for a bit
They asked him why he used to steal John Watson's qualifying tyres, he just said, "he wasn't looking. Win the race, go home."
Then they asked him if Jenson button was a worthy champion.
"Yes, he won the races, got the points, wins the championship, goes home."

I guess this can be a classic story... Lauda used to pocket Wattys tyres

1999

Just before the BMW-Williams Partnership

[round swift]

Weird

It says 2000

Williams fw22 - 2000 testing

“Williams ditched the two red liveries of the previous seasons and went back to form with a navy and white look following the tie up with German engine supplier, BMW. Looking like one of the BMW art cars of the past, the FW22 test livery was sponsorless and started a lineage of cars that would follow the same tone for the next decade or so despite the loss of BMW in 2006.”
