Ahh, better now.

 

Well, look who decided to show back up

 

Raikkonen/Schumacher F1 dice inspired Verstappen Brazilian GP moves

I knew there was a reason I like that kid

 

Nice vantage point.

EDIT: Is it just me, or does Alonso seem calmer than he was earlier in the season?

 

Maybe he knows something good about McHonda for 2016 that we don't

 

let's hope so.

 

I don't buy that. The competitive drive of a person who makes all the way to F1 is immense, a life shaping force that can only be satisfied by being in the hunt for a win. Heel cooling doesn't fit the profile.

 

Pretty sure Honda has already tested their 2016 power unit layout change by now and likely both McLaren drivers have seen the dyno figures

 

Formula 1 Needs to Lift Restrictions on Engine Development

WEC looks more like road cars than F1 cars do but essentially the technologies transfered to road cars from both series are the same

 

What road cars do you think WEC cars have a contribution to ?

 

WEC isn't open wheel and doesn't have exposed front wings and the cars are fully encased in bodywork with the wheels flush to the body sides so its no wonder they aren't as fragile

 

Let's ask the drivers. WEC is loaded with cool tech but let's face it, it's where F1 drivers retire to.

 

I used to love WRC, but it is meh now. Since around 07 when they lifted the homologation rules and Subaru screwed Petter and pulled out the cars don't interest me much anymore. I have been watching the ERC lately.

 

The last 40 or 50 years of the 911 are a good example.

I like both series , but quite seriously what F1 driver that hasn't already lost his seat has moved from F1 to WEC ?
