The Mclaren MP4/4 disagrees with that assertion. Sure, it's ancient history, but Mclaren Honda had nearly a perfect season in 1988. That season is what most folks think of when they think of Honda dominance. Unfortunately, it seems whatever fire lit Honda back in the 80's seems to have disappeared. m View Quote That was almost 30 years ago. Honda is a VERY different company from what they were in the 80's... So is Mclaren. Modern Japanese corporate culture is not conducive to the R&D of a race engine. This was proven in the early 2000's, but some people just don't learn. |

Meh, I'm doing the ARF Indy/F1 fantasy, that's enough to keep track of. I quit that GP predictor a few years back, got to be too big of a pain, and hassle to do when you normally are out on weekends, and DVR entire F1 weekends.

wait, what happened at Abu Dhabi with Hamilton that his team was upset with him. all I remember is hating that juvenile Vestappen...
edit: nvm, I remember. he slowed down to let Seb catch Rosberg. hahaha, I loved it... |

Force India pink is a bit funky, but when was the last time we saw a car get a complete color scheme from a primary sponsor that wasn't a manufacturer or related to the owners business holdings?

Ferrari's 'Sandbagging' in F1 Testing Has Red Bull Worried
Saying that Ferrari driver and four-time Formula 1 world champion Sebastian Vettel "provocatively lifted on his fastest lap on the start and finish straight," Red Bull's head of motorsport Helmut Marko told Red Bull's Servus TV channel that "if you do something like this, then your self-confidence and the knowledge about having a lot more in the car is huge."
But despite Vettel's gamesmanship in Ferrari's new SF70H, Marko thinks that the engine mapping and fuel loads used in testing has kept the true potential of every car in the dark, according to Motorsport.com, noting that an extra 10 kg of fuel can mean the difference of 0.35 seconds, and revised engine mapping could potentially shave a full second off a driver's time. "Nobody has shown their cards properly," Marko said. View Quote |

I've wanted to play for years, but I have way too much going-on to get that involved. It's more than enough to catch practice, quals, and races on the DVR and sometimes I get days behind (have deleted practices without even watching many times -- though I don't do what with quals and races). All of my coworkers are such big fantasy NFL players and I don't get into that for the same reasons. I have more than enough hobbies already... don't need to pretend that I'm an NFL GM. |

I don't even know. If he is, I've never gotten the impression that he's anything more than a lifeless hull, staring off into space and drooling.

Yep, seeing a man who lived on the razors edge his whole life, taken down by something so simple as skiing just sucks.

I'm getting antsy for the new season. Glad it's only days away. I go under the knife first thing Thursday morning for another back surgery, and I tend to get the nerves before each surgery... worrying that I won't wake up (or will wake-up more messed up than I already am). This time... I'll actually admit to being a hair nervous that I'll miss the new F1 season if I don't wake up.
Seriously... I wonder if they have HDTV and NBCSN in the afterlife??? |

Some insight gleaned from a former engineer from MercF1 that left before teh start of the 2016 season. We were talking about Mercs crank issues (btw, they use a billet crank):
"There's massive issues with twist whether it's the crankshaft, the MGUK shaft or the MGUK idler gear, the crank has a friction mass damper at the rear (5kg mass in a silicone fluid) it sits just in front of the clutch. The MGUK driveshaft has a friction plate damper on it and the MGUK idler gear also has a friction damper. It's all simulated to the moon and back " |
