He's also the reason why Häkkinen, Mansell and Damon Hill got their respective championships. Give the guy credit for his amazing talents for being able to make good drivers appear great.

To be fair, Damon Hill was beating senna before senna died, and hill, for all his tendency to bitch and moan, generally had a high rate of outpacing his teammates.
Agreed on mansell and hakkinen though. Hakkinen (sorry Finland) was pretty well out performed by Johnny Herbert at lotus.

I agree that Häkkinen is not the best Finnish driver in F1. Even JJ Lehto and Mika Salo were better than him. Häkkinen did scare Schumi but I think any other Finn in a Newey car would scare him shitless.
>>21946
Yeah, he stopped giving a shit after 1997. He's the French-Canadian Räikkönen.

Also if VW took over Red Bull as Audi would VW also take over Toro Rosso as another brand?
Like Red Bull-Audi & Toro Rosso-Lamborghini?

Why would they ever do that? That's a terrible idea. F1 popularity in the us is pretty much at an all time low, nobody who buys a Mercedes even knows they own brawn gp and illmor. An American driver wouldn't change shit.

the LMP1 hybrid formula seems more natural since the teams can put out so much more power. the ERS in F1 is pretty much there to make up for hp lost by downsizing the ICE rather than to add anything.
plus there's some fun stuff

It isn't. A company is literally racing itself. The next competitor is leagues behind. The only reason that there's any competitiveness is that no one cares enough about WEC to spend enough money to dominate.

Just as today's F1 is garbage compared to just about any previous era, WEC is garbage compared to pretty much any previous era (save for the notable period in which the FIA killed it by ending group c and everyone left).
