Talk shit Backmarker 07/31/19 (Wed) 20:08:58 cf72aa No. 66510
This board is getting incredibly inactive these days… I remember how busy this place was during the '16 LM and '17 Indy 500, in fact those threads are still here.
So I've made this as a last-ditch attempt to spark life into the old board. Speak whatever's on your mind, in particular about F1 or racing in general.
Personally, I think had bad luck not hit the team, Ferrari would have been double Drivers & Constructors champions in 1982 and 1983. No doubt about the former; both Villeneuve and Pironi were guaranteed to win the championship that year due to such a magnificent car. To lose one driver is awful, to lose another in the same season must be unthinkable. Had both drivers survived into the next year, they would've retained their championships easily. Ferrari may have become a force to be reckoned with during the mid '80s instead of struggling with the likes of Johansson and Alboreto driving a turbo that loved to blow itself up. McLaren and Williams might not have had the decade to themselves.

remember when drivers could see out of their cockpit and engage in wheel to wheel combat?
these days drivers sit too low in the cars and they can't see what's around them so any time a car gets close there's contact, and brundle says "it's not his fault because he couldn't see". well, dah.

It's hard to be a Riccardo fan Backmarker 01/16/20 (Thu) 12:20:25 8438ec No. 66522
Hey lads, (if anyone's even using this board anymore) I'm feeling pretty sad about Riccardo's future, sure, he's not the best driver out there, but if he had a good car, and it was made around his driving style, he could potentially be the newest Australian WDC since Alan Jones in 1980…
That's fucking 30 years since the last champion. Maybe Renault is pulling a Mercedes, and is putting their funding into the new reg changes? Maybe they're just shit? I dunno anymore.

He stepped out of a championship winning team (with a budget to reflect their ambitions) for a midfield car backed by a manufacturer that wants a budget cap so they don't have to spend too much money. It was never going to end well. He would have been better off staying at Red Bull.
There aren't many chances to pull off a stellar drive in the midfield. It takes a lottery of a race like Hockenheim or Brazil. And one good drive is not going to land you a seat at Mercedes or Ferrari.
Even if RB favoured Max with better parts and strategies, all Ric would need to do is qualify on par with him and finish the race 5 seconds behind him. Proves he's just as fast as Max, and probably half the price. Instead, he's going to be a little bit faster than Ocon until age gets the better of him, and fade into obscurity, possibly even less known than Wobbler.
People will at least remember Webber for his terrible luck, terrible starts, Multi 21, vomiting in his helmet, and penchant for somersaults.

Don't worry, there's still some of us around.
Look on the bright side, at least you don't have Hulkenberg representing your country.
