That low revving V12 that sounded amazing

#

Everybody talks about Alonsos Ferrari campaign in 2012 but not Laudas title campaign in 1977

#

Lauda won the 1977 title with 2 races left to go when Ferrari was arguably the 3rd or 4th fastest car

#

as the McLarens and Lotuses were consistently quicker and even the Wolff at times being faster

mhm

#

now would he have left Ferrari after 77 without the Nurb crash

frozen prism
#

even Lauda himself said he regretted leaving Ferrari

#

but the actions that Ferrari imposed after Laudas incident were the reason he left

#

not to mention they replaced Regazzoni in '77 with Reutemann

#

who was Laudas temporary replacement

#

and they replaced Regazzoni just because they were mad at Lauda

#

and Lauda and Reutemann never got along with each other that well

#

all because Lauda did not want to die in the season finale at Fuji in the '76 season

I was there too!

#

This is a Simtek, no?

I thought so

past drift
#

actually no, it's the 95

#

forgot it's with Pacific that the Lotus peeps went, not with Simtek

#

I have quite an interesting theory

#

what if Williams went with the raised nose design that Benetton had in 1994

#

would it have prevented Sennas death

past drift
#

could be, problem is just that the aero was (at first) too similar to the 93 aero, but without the aids to make it stable enough

#

that has been pretty much almost if not already debunked

#

what im talking about is that the aerodynamic issues of the FW16 were caused by a bunch of problems that could have led to Sennas decision to extend the steering column and causing his death

#

like how the FW16 was for the most part just a slightly enhanced FW15 without technological aids

#

if they had reworked the aero properly through some options like using the raised nose instead of the sloped nose that they had been using since 1991 it could have solved or lessened the instability problems that the FW16 suffered

#

but thats just my theory

#

Not many people know about this but apparently Ferrari had a secret F1 car with a high nose design that was ultimately rejected in favor of John Barnard's 641 design, which supposedly inspired the high nose of the 1990 Tyrell since I believe some of the Ferrari engineers had left for Tyrell

and still sad considering he could have moved to Williams

# covert orchid Ye I still believe in the safety car cooling down the tyres and making them shri...

the reason the cool tires and bottomed out theory is basically debunked is because the crash should have happened the lap prior then as the tires were cooler and the circumstances were higher for the car to bottom out and crash over Tamburello, second as Ive analyzed the onboard probably a hundred times at this point it is evident you never see the tires move at all in any direction, and the counter-steer theory is already debunked when you see he does not steer right erratically at all, and also the erratic movement of the steering wheel going downwards to the point you dont even see it in the point of view anymore and with Williams' counter-argument saying that such movement is normal, you never see any of that erratic movement on either Williams car before during or after Imola, and having such movement to the steering wheel is nearly if not a fatal feature to have as it limits steering
