Why was the 2005 Mcalren so unreliable?
(longer answer the better)
After 2000 Mercedes engines started becoming more unreliable, the 2002 McLaren being a clear example as it was not too fast and barely reliable, the 2003 McLaren was a better balance of speed and reliability but it was still too unreliable and Kimi lost the title, 2004 was mostly just Kimi carrying the team claiming victory at Belgium as it was DC's last year at McLaren, 2005 was when JPM made his debut for McLaren and while the McLaren was definitely more reliable than 2004, it was mostly Kimi again who carried the team with 7 wins as JPM struggled with the car at times throughout the season, the new tire rules didn't help either was McLaren was caught a bit off guard but they were still relatively the fastest car since Kimi had 5 poles with JPM having 2, it was more of a combination of the unreliability and bad luck that caused McLaren's unreliable reputation.

Does engine angle make a difference to reliability?
meager pewter
Yes
past drift
vibrations i suppose?
meager pewter
72° for a V10 is the natural harmonic/balance angle, as 720°, or two rpm, is how much a 4 stroke engine eneds to complete
A 90°V angle has a firing interval of 90° then 18°
That's gonna give you some rock n roll

but ditched it in 2004 for a more traditional 72°

Centre of grvaity
And 90° for anything is the best rigidity wise
Renault had 111/112 from 2001-2003 which had one of my favourite buzzsaw off throttles I've ever heard
round swift
How does a wider engine cause more vibrations? I understand there’s a trade off between vibration, CoG and packaging.
What made the 90 degree engine faster? Other than CoG
past drift
it's not the fact it's wide that made more vibrations, it's just the angle x number of pistons
round swift
Yeah
meager pewter
Because the interval of pistons firing is now irregular, instead of evenly spaced, one side of the engine's power stroke lasts longer than the other
So you will have a rocking motion that isn't cancelled out

Because the interval of pistons firing is now irregular, instead of evenly space...
But more power? Or is CoG just the only advantage

In 68 you have regular Matra with the V12 engine, and Matra International which js a private entry ran by Ken Tyrrell, same chassis but the DFV engine instead
In 69 Matra doesn't enter their team because they need to improve their engkne a lot, so the only entry, fully supported by the engineers is Tyrrell's.
For 1970 the engine is improved, and Matra says if Tyrrell wants to keep thr Matra chassis, which is very good, they must use the new V12. Stewart said it was bad and they should keep the DFV and so Tyrrell started his own team for good, first entering the new March chassis, and for the last 4-5 races their first in house chassis, the 001

Prost was definitely not the man to do PR stunts or do anything to put him into the spotlight, that is what makes him so different from Senna Schumi and Lewis, he is so good but because he usually keeps things to himself and isn't one of the more popular drivers that is why he is often undershadowed in the GOAT talks

Why did the Tyrell 012 have the weird boomerang wing on it?
Trying to increase downforce by increasing surface area as a result of losing ground effect, however because all the air goes to point it kinda stalls in that centre point which doesn't help

Not to many people knew that the Lotus 88 was in fact the first Formula One car with a carbon fibre monocoque chassis although the car was not allowed to race it.

Yes
past drift
ye it was
also it wasn't exactly a cfc monocoque

Although likely better than its aluminium counterpart, the monocoque used entirely different techniques to Barnard's in its construction, favouring a Nomex honeycomb centre over the aluminium honeycomb used by McLaren. A wet lay up procedure that wasn't cured in an autoclave reduced the overall strength further still.
So yeah pretty much still had carbon fibre in it
Or should I say around it lol

Q: If Senna hadn't crashed at Imola, who would have won the race?
past drift
he would unless schumacher beats him in the pits like in brasil
senna wouldn’t have the advantage in race until 2 or 3 racea after when they fixed the stability woes of the car

Crazy to think one guy has the same as senna and prost combined

changing times, Prost was the first driver to defend his title successfully since Jack Brabham in 1960. now its quite rare that you don’t

didnt help the 80s and early 90s were some of the most competitive times in f1
although Senna did quickly become the next driver to repeat in 1990-91

The 3.5's made things really accessible at least initially
Yamaha literally joined F1 and gave teams engines for free coz they thought it was the most cost effective R&D
