I really hope Lewis ditches Mercedes at some point and go build his future like Lauda did

and I really wish Toto and Mercedes go to Formula E and never go back

He could start his own team but that's really unlikely

Yeah to be honest, as much as I dislike Lewis as a person, I'd love to see him in his own team and try to win like that. Maybe then I would actually root for him.

BUT, what I would really like to see is an impossibility:
-All the best drivers over the years competing against each other in all the eras of F1 (50s to present).

Just imagine a grid of:
Juan Fangio, Michael Schumacher, Ayrton Senna, Alain Prost, Niki Lauda, Lewis Hamilton, Jim Clark, Mario Andretti, Sebastian Vettel (lol), Nelson Piquet, ♥ Kimi ♥, ♥ Mika ♥, ♥ Keke ♥, Emerson Fittipaldi, Juan Montoya, Jean Alesi, Gerhard Berger, Graham Hill, Gilles Villeneuve, Didier Pironi, Jackie Stewart, and Mark Webber --- all vying for the win on a wet Interlagos circuit in 1980s machinery.

I am also in the process of getting drunk. :wave: :metal:

Yep I'm predicting 2021 will be his and Toto's "Last Dance". Beat the record for championships, then move on to something new. Possibly come back 2 years later for a disappointing stint with a lesser team.

Although Lewis's response to Webber after the race, "I feel like I'm just getting started" is concerning...

I hope Mercedes designs another monster in 2022 and Lewis ends up with 5 more championships.

Toto has now said they will likely not start contract talks until the end of the season.

It's going to end up like Senna in 1993 where he has a race-by-race contract next year :lol:

I think the winner is one who had prior experience with the cars. Make them race in the 1950s cars and Fangio would win, give them a modern F1 and Fangio would be dead last. I think those who raced in the 1970s (Andretti, Stewart, Lauda, Fittipaldi) would be most comfortable to race in all eras of F1.

Of course, we could hypothesize who would win if everyone was born in the same era in a multiverse where they dominated their own dimensional timeline. For example, there would be multiple Sennas, each one being a super star of a different era like 1960s or 2000s. There would be multiple Schumachers, one born in 1928, one in 1947, one in 1993 etc. Then bring those champions together to race against each other to really see, who is the best of the best of the best. :excited:

MotoGP this year is a good example of what happens if you take away the domination, randomness all around

So basically you're suggesting F1 should somehow seek to get rid off their top driver and/or team (and an engine supplier for 1/3 of the grid) because in a sense MotoGP got lucky this season due Marc's injury. This must be a new milestone in a long series of dumb and even dumber posts from you.

could be a lot of scrambled rounds like this year

Don't hate the player (Mercedes), hate the game (rules).

A deal on an engine freeze has been reached.

https://www.auto-motor-und-sport.de/for ... urbo-2022/

The proposed freeze would start in early 2022. As part of the deal, the new engines (whatever they may be) will be introduced for 2025. Carbon neutral fuel has also been pushed back to 2025.

Looks as though Marko was not bluffing.

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

Ah, reverse message like "my tires are gone, bono." then setting ten fastest laps in the row.

Kind of good news all round even if it does set Mercedes' domination in stone until at least the end of 2024. But we knew that anyway

Let's start praying the engineers at other teams have come up with some good cardesigns for 2022 or Mercedes will end up winning 11 titles in a row.

What a joke.

What was once the pinnacle of technology is now freezing development because a team can't stop shitting on its engine partners...what a farce.

or: What was once the pinnacle of technology is now freezing development because the ruling body and teams cant come up with a proper and affordable engine solution that keeps current manufacturers in and attracts new ones that can actually be successful without having to spent trillions ...... what a farce.

there's always the "penalize the success" way like making them use less fuel per race, of less front wing load to use unbalanced wheels

why not since this shit went gazongas anyway
