It’s been common knowledge for a while now that Ferrari has already pivoted toward developing next year's car—and word around the paddock is that Red Bull is following suit.

fadedwalker18 said:Go ahead and look up the 1982 Monaco Grand Prix; you'll see exactly how much of a "virtuoso" Alain Prost actually was when he proved himself totally incapable in Monaco, especially since you're bringing up 1988.

mellowtiger83 said:Just watch how some French driver, sitting in a lightning-fast car, can't even hold onto the lead for a single full lap against a certain mythomaniac from Brazil.
Just a little refresher!
How much did that Frenchman in the vastly superior machine end up trailing by at the finish?

Dana Perez6 said:If you take three of those 4-cylinder boxer engines from an Alfasud or an Alfa 33 and mash them together, you basically end up with a Ferrari-style 12-cylinder flat boxer engine.☕

ruggedhawk20 said:Two engines bolted together? Honestly, such a brain-dead concept. But hey, our buddy Ale is still obsessed with it.

ruggedhawk20 said:Don't sweat it, kid—I ignore every single one of your posts anyway.

A saw = loves tidy, polished non-smokers wearing crisp, pressed—is that what you call it when you iron with starch? I can't remember the word!—shirts.

ruggedhawk20 said:Are you actually kidding me right now????

This is an '89 style car

What kind of engine are you talking about? Like, did Porsche really sell anything to McLaren after '89?

Hey! Ale!?

graniteharbor502 said:I wonder, just how much of a power deficit did Keke's Cosworth actually face when compared to the Renault, Ferrari, or BMW engines during his championship run?
And do we all remember Senna in Dallas back in 1984, driving that very same Toleman during the street race? He was likely the worst driver on the track that day.

By the way, whenever Joe tells you something, you really ought to listen closely, because he is easily the most intelligent person here and a true expert. Just because he enjoys a bit of banter along the way doesn't mean you can't learn a thing or two about Formula 1 from him.

mellowtiger83 said:Senna didn't care about other people? Are you hearing yourself?

And what about what he did at Spa-Francorchamps? For Eric Comas?
Why was he adored by everyone during his lifetime, from ordinary people to the entire Formula 1 leadership?

Senna strove to be first rather than just collecting points, and that serves as an inspiration to many, including Lewis Hamilton for instance.
Not to mention children across the globe, especially in the USA, and his foundation established for underprivileged children.
During his life, he helped everyone around him, and he continued that through his legacy after his passing.

So, you are just a typical hater who likes to call people like me "fanboys."
While simultaneously spreading falsehoods.
You are spreading lies, cosmiccyclist8, and it isn't a good look.

mellowtiger83 said:Ayrton Senna managed to lap Damon Hill while they were in the exact same car with about 17 laps left in the race!
Well, I'm not sure what else to say. Aside from suggesting you just turn on the TV and watch the replay.

mellowtiger83 said:For those who aren't familiar with the nuances of the 1984 cars, here is a brief overview regarding the Toleman.
They were quite fascinating designers. It was an excellent chassis that simply lacked about 110 horsepower in qualifying and roughly 35 horsepower during the race to truly be considered elite.

mellowtiger83 said:Good grief, just erase that, my eyes hurt.

That's exactly what I was thinking.

mellowtiger83 said:Are we talking about those idiots who tried to turn a Calibra into a Testarossa or a 512tr?

A true masterpiece.🤦
