Very sad indeed - a true legend and was probably the fist of the modern style professional driver. A fantastic race driver and brilliant at developing a car.Niki Lauda has died. Sad news.
Looks better than the halo IMO.
What debacle? What's the original story?Further (barely believeable) information re. McLaren's Indy 500 debacle:
"Among the myriad problems that afflicted them was the fallout from a decision early in the programme to build their own steering wheel. These house electronic read-outs and several controls for the car, and most Indycar teams buy them in from British company Cosworth.
When McLaren realised they had run out of time to do their own before starting testing, they ordered one from Cosworth, but when it arrived it did not have any gear-change paddles. When McLaren asked why, they were told they had not ordered them."
Not sure how well a tear off that size would work - firstly, the sheer size will make tearing it off difficult (might need to be done PDQ if a splort [technical term!!!] of oil/water/insect lands on it on a straight) and even harder at any speed, then disposal so it can't get sucked into a duct (radiator, air intake, brake cooling etc.) needs to be thought of. As ugly as the halo is, it's abetterless bad solution IMO.
This little lot for starters...What debacle? What's the original story?
He didn't have much choice really overtake wise. He had to take the chances and try and at least keep in touch with the points scoring positions otherwise he might as well have just parked in the garage before the race started. The moved worked perfectly the time before, was just unlucky to catch the rear wheel. As Martin said on the commentary you have to drive it back at walking pace to stop any damage to the floor and again that would be pretty damn pointless.What a shocker from LeClerc, over ambitious overtake attempt and then shredding his car in a bit of a temper tantrum.
A mclaren just overtook a red bull on track and it wasn’t Gasly either
Well........that didn't last long.
Rules is rules ya giant massive baby :/
I personally think nearly half the field drive better than vettelI'm afraid that both SV and LH are similar when it comes to whinging. But when it comes to driving LH is a far better driver with a better temperament when under pressure. I am no fan of either of them, but personalities aside I rate LH much higher than SV. I am hoping the CL will step up and put SV under much more pressure, but I'm not convinced the team will let him. Hopefully he can sort out his Q3 performances and then let's see
Seb is a good driver but he goes down in my estimation with his childish reactions.
If he had the fastest car in the track then how did ham close down a 5 second gap when he pitted and how did leclarc almost finish 2nd...Vettel is still fast, but out witted and out performed by Hamilton on most occasions, other things being equal.
Vettel has to push it and take risks now to keep in the same ball park with him.
He had the faster car on that track, but Hamilton was still matching him.
