>>63987170

Raced in F1 during the 90's and early 2000's. His best years were between '97-'99, where he was up near the front of the pack with Williams and then Jordan.
>>
>>63987249
Williams has one of the smallest budgets and gets some of the bests results when comparing it to the driver positions. How does that happens ?
>>
>>63987289
More importantly, he was originally (ie prior to him entering F1) seen as being better than Michael Schumacher, but he was completely obliterated by Jacques Villeneuve in 1997, who himself was almost beaten by Schumacher in a far worse car. This pretty much destroyed his reputation instantly, and while he was an outside challenger for the '99 title, he faded into total obscurity after that season.

Corinna Betsch also dumped him for Schumacher if I recall correctly.
>>
>>63987360
By changing the atmosphere within the team, as Symonds said. He also named Smedley and Massa as being two of the most instrumental figures in that regard.

>changing the atmosphere within the team
What does that mean ?
>>
>>63987418
There was a perpetual lack of motivation in the team prior to 2014. "We're hardly getting any results and we're not going to do much better if we try harder, so why bother?" Something along those lines.
>>
>>63987360
As efficient aero as possible. This means that their drag to downforce ratio is insanely low, but at the expense of total downforce. This approach also means that the downforce they do have is what's known as friendly, or useable. Teams like McLaren have struggled immensely in this regard in previous years (recently 2009-2014) because they focussed on adding as much total downforce as possible, regardless of drag, and this results in downforce that is unstable as it changes speed or in cornering.

The regulation changes from 2013 to 2014, which reduced the amount of downforce significantly, also favoured the low-drag approach, as the penalty for having that much less downforce was much less significant than it was in the previous era.

Plasma cannon.
>>
>>63991844

It's a velocity tuned, resonant charged intake. Basically, at WOT and very close in the rpm range where peak power is made, standing waves in the intake form to add a small amount of added pressure to force air into the engine.

Most racing series ban variable intake geometry so the static intake is designed to give a small boost of torque way up in the power band.
>>
>>63992062

Inline engine. Intake on one side, exhaust header on the other.
>>
>>63992102
but isn't it like 10x more aerodynamically inefficient to not just have the intake behind the roll hoop and pipe it to the side of the engine?

Hey guys I just saw Rush and how accurate is it to real life?

Also, why is Lauda shilling for Mercedes nowadays?
>>
>>63996971
Because he can. Pretty sure he was team principal at Jaguar too
>>
>>63996971
>shilling for Mercedes

Fuck I'm sick of the overuse of that word. He's *employed* by them, as a non-executive director. They give him a job, in return, he takes money. Do you shill for your manager at the sausage factory, Hans?
>>
>>63996971
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2k8nuv

Just watch this and compare.

Also he's working a job mate, it's not like when you're in a team you're there forever, Lauda joined McLaren later.
>>
I still can't believe that Button got more points than Alonso, it's the 1st season that Alonso doesn't score more points than his teammate. And it turns out to be BUTTON, who allowed this to happen, how is this even a thing
>>
>>63996987
If you had ever watched German broadcast of F1 you'd understand why I said shilling.
>>
>>63996971

>how accurate is it to real life?

In terms of showing Lauda's crash and his subsequent struggles and comeback, very accurate.

However, Hunt and Lauda were decent mates, having shared a flat once in their junior formula years, so that animosity was (to a degree) manufactured.

>why is Lauda shilling for Mercedes nowadays?

I don't know why he was appointed, but his appointment was the first step by Merc leading to the undermining of Brawn, so maybe it was the beginnings of Zetsche restructuring the top management of the team.
>>
>>63997003
I only watched a German broadcast of F1 once, when Vettel won the title in Abu Dhabi in 2010. I was in Dusseldorf; I was very, very drunk on altbier, I had a charming young local law student with big tits in my lap and I literally lost the boner she gave me by squirming on my dick when he crossed the line as champion.
>>
>>63997019
Normie pls go
>>
>>63996971

Lauda follows the money. He was from a rich family which got him his first f1 drive, retired the first time to run his own airline (in 79) and only returned in uh... 82 to make bank to sustain his business interests. If I recall correctly he went on the found another airline after he retired for good, and then went on to be a Ferrari consultant before becoming team boss at the shitfest that was jaguar f1, along with bobby rahal of all people, before lying low for a while and taking up his non exec role at merc. Long story short, the king rat is money first, sport second, despite his obvious talent at the wheel.

Rush was pretty accurate, brands hatch being used as a stand in for most circuits and the terrible Fuji CGI aside. Hunt btfoing that journo may be an apocryphal tale but at least it was based on a story that made the rounds at the time. Very decent film especially for an Indy title but not one for motorsport aspies IMO.

The crash reconstruction made no mention of Merzario being one of the guys at the scene, which resulted in him going on a rampage on a minor Italian tv show, phoning in to the studio to call ron howard a cunt for a good ten minutes straight.
>>
>>63997000
Trulli beat him too before being fired. It's not over the course of a full season, but it was a total curbstomp (especially because of Alonso's constant mistakes) before Briatore decided to show his hand.
>>
>>63986380
Realistically speaking anyone who says he's a meme, is probably talking out of his ass.

But it's more fun to call him a meme, so he's a meme.

>>63986380
He's good, that much is obvious. What isn't obvious is how good he is. Sainz has been making a lot of mistakes and his record prior to F1 is far from being the most illustrious. Red Bull are doing their usual job trying to model him and his PR appearance the way they want, but beyond that his attitude is hardly the best and it may slow his rate of improvement in future seasons.

It was also not Trulli's problem, merely Briatore's. Problem is, Briatore and Alonso go hand in hand in everything, from the replacement of Button to Crashgate.

>>if he was so good

46-33 before Silverstone and 46-45 before being fired*

Though that was already after Briatore had shown his hand. Trulli's lone mistake didn't cost him anywhere near as much.

>>63997000
Button had better luck. That's really all there is to it. The car was a unreliable piece of shit so luck had a big effect.

Agreed. It was great until they give Rossi the penalty in the last race. If not, it would have been a goat season.

in an ideal world, manor would have vandoorne and ocon in the car next year. rookies, yes, but they're at least quick.

if manor go for harayanto and stevens, then grosjean alone will likely beat manor and put haas ahead. gutierrez is fucking useless. then again, manor need money.

i read somewhere (can't find it right now) that vandoorne had an offer to replace ricciardo at toro rosso in 2014, but it would only be for a year. his management (same as button's) told him not to.

tired of this verstappen meme already

even if he lives up to expectations(which i doubt he will), red bull will never let him leave. since toro rosso secured ferrari engines for next year i expect them to be much more competitive. red bull will probably stick with renault as an engine supplier and if things go well they will be competitive next year. kvyat will probably be replaced with verstappen in 2017, and then he'll win a few WDCs in typical vettel fashion.
>>
>>64000410
i hope kvyat beats ricciardo next year. then muh danny rick will get the boot. max will an hero, so we get kvyat and sainz at red bull.
>>
>>64000410
Last year's Ferrari engines though iirc, and I believe Red Bull are getting Renault engines that they'll further develop independently with Ilmor and will be branded TAG or TAG Heuer
>>
>>64001317
Ilmor is working with Renault on the development, TAG just gets to put their sticker on the same engine Renault races on the factory team.
>>
>>64001317

amus:

>Got a lot of engine questions lately. Just to clarify: Renault F1 Team engine & Red Bull TAG engine will be identical. Same spec

also, tag isn't part of tag heuer anymore, so it won't 'just' be red bull tag.

also, the renault will be a hatchjob:

/f1/,

If you ran a team, would you rather have a Renault or Honda engine for 2016?
>>
>>64001764
Honda, easily. Sure, they have their management issues, but they're not anywhere near as much of a joke as Toyota, or as they themselves were a few years ago. Renault have been utterly incompetent since 2010 at the absolute least, and with Honda already figuring out their main issues (the same way Ferrari did in 2014) and being able to work on them, the choice seems relatively obvious to me.

They clearly need a better main team than McLaren though. At this rate, the team's going to crash and burn horribly if Ron doesn't leave the sport soon.

Is there really going to be "Renault Lotus - Mercedes" with a Renault engine next year?

Is it really that hard to just let them change the name?

i think they mean the car has until now been designed for a mercedes pu, so they have had to alter it. shouldn't be hard - the 2014 e22 had a renault pu.

they designed a version of next year's car for the merc engine and a version for the renault engine

ghosn basically confirmed to genii months ago that they had 100% intent to buy out lotus, and in the event that the deal for some reason could not go through, renault would provide any reimbursement needed to offset financial losses caused by ending sponsorships or whatever during that period (isn't business fun?)

so either outcome would be a win for genii and thereby enstone

what type of news are you looking for?

>Why did Red Bull rebrand a renualt engine?
renault didn't want to be associated with red bull, red bull saw a marketing opportunity and snapped it up.
>>
>>64022282
>Why did Red Bull rebrand a renualt engine?

Probably a few reasons; one is that they're no longer the works team for Renault. Second, Renault re-negotiated the branding to reduce sponsoring RB, so that the team has to pay them more. Third, Renault doesn't want its name on the RB team, in case their engine is shit again, and the team decides to mouth off about it.

I think it was more a Renault decision than an RB decision.

Haas (not HAAS) will either unveil the car in mid-to-late january ahead of the wet weather test at paul ricard, or late february for the first regular test at catalunya

>And why didnt Infiniti step up and brand the RedBulls? It was the perfect oppurnity
red bull's relationship with renault has soured immensely in the past 18 months, and red bull's infiniti sponsorship has been cancelled because nissan don't want to be associated with a brand who is shitting on their business partner
