F1 Official Thread - Grand Prix of Britain

Hopefully the FIA keeps this same energy when the cost cap violations by Aston Martin and Red Bull are uncovered.
 
I was watching the Singapore GP with a few friends last weekend and we got to talking about what our favorite F1 car of all time was.

I didn't start watching F1 until about 2001 and didn't become a die hard until later but have managed to watch just about every race from 1984 to present.

For me it's a tie between the Benetton B186 and the Mercedes W11. Honorable mention to the McLaren MP4/4 and Ligier JS33.

Not my favorite car more so favorite livery. Daft punk 🔥
 
^ At first, I was like "very bold of you to choose the step-nose" 😅😅😅

So are we talking about favorite car/chassis or fav livery? I have a few fav liveries that are on absolute $#!* cars.
I'll go with fav-car/chassis for starters.
Obvs with a McLaren-bias here, of course.

MP4/4 cuz of it's legendary status.

Though I have to say, I like the shape of the MP4/5B a bit more cuz of the shape... a bit more sleek and aerodynamic.

MP4/14

MP4/20 - very fast, but very unreliable.

And our last WDC car... the MP4/23... where the aero just went bananas.

That Brawn car was sick! Loved the minimalist look... Would have liked to have seen Rubens win more in that car instead of Jenson but still.

Sinner Sinner Livery or car whichever you guys felt like talking about.
Rest of the field hated that Brawn but for good reason considering it had a great aero design. Same, Barichello fan here. I have always felt he could do more and beat Jenson but saw it could have been the same Schumi-Rubens arrangement where Rubenz act as a replacement driver/winner if the top driver gets taken out of the race. Either that reason or he never recovered from that crash early in his career.
 
The W11 defies nature’s laws



Look how he slices through the chicanes at spa :wow:

They had to hamper it with new regulations otherwise 2021 wouldn’t have been close.
