Hahahaha... what was that you just said, mistybear87? 😛

Charles Martin78 said:The whole vibe just fits the username perfectly, 😁

I mean, seriously... you've got a Blacky guy, dressed head-to-toe in black, carrying all that darkness in his soul, driving a pitch-black Corsair... it’s just one endless void of blackness. 😁

wow! Hats off to Drew Anderson3...

By the way, I highly doubt Monty is feeling particularly thrilled about finishing second... though, to be fair, he was really struggling with the car's handling yesterday.

Except for McLaren Mercedes...
That's enough out of you... honestly, this post tells me everything I need to know about your level... 🙄 😛

You just can't go messing around with the junior varsity teams...

Yours:
Arrows, Jaguar, BAR, and the rest of them—those were the teams that were almost better than your McLaren last season...

So I corrected myself... and wrote "They were occasionally better than your McLaren last season..."

Man, he can be irritating!

Angelic said:Who are these guys? Never heard of them!

Last season in Australia, Irvin was sitting in fourth in the Jaguar, while Webber managed fifth in the Minardi (Kimi took third, and Coulthard wasn't even in the top six . Down in Spain, Arrows grabbed sixth (Coulthard was actually third, and Kimi didn't crack the top six at all . In Monaco, Arrows finished sixth (Coulthard was first, and Kimi missed the top six entirely . Over in the United Kingdom, Villeneuve was fourth for BAR, and Panis, who was also running for BAR, took fifth... meanwhile, your McLaren wasn't even anywhere near the top six during that race. In Belgium, Irvin was sixth in the Jaguar (Coulthard was fourth, and once again, Kimi wasn't in the top six . Then in Italy, Irvin was third in the Jaguar and Panis was sixth for BAR (not a single McLaren driver in the top six . Finally, in the USA, Villeneuve was sixth for BAR (Coulthard was third, and Kimi still couldn't break into those top six spots ).

So, do you remember those teams now? Jaguar, Arrows, BAR, Minardi? They were consistently outperforming your McLaren at various points last season... 😛

redheron12 said:Man, Elizabeth Hughes, you really can be such a massive pain in the neck sometimes!

Me, a pain in the neck? That’s rich coming from you. Are you just sticking up for the Angelic crowd now? You people are unbelievable... just clinging to one another regardless of whether it actually makes any sense or not... just huddling together for warmth, I guess... 😛

Angel said:I’m leaning the same way—it feels like McLaren was practically outperforming Ferrari for most of the last two seasons.

Now, if you could back that up with some actual data instead of just vibes, maybe I'd consider taking you seriously... 🙄

Angelic said:Who even are these guys? Never heard of them.

Never heard of them? You mean those teams that were practically outperforming your McLaren last season...😛
I'm pretty sure you knew exactly who they were.😛

Minardi picked up five Arrows A23 chassis, and the team spokesperson didn't mince words when he said: "Two of them are actually decent enough to run, while the rest are pretty much just scrap metal for parts."

Last season, Arrows was running the same Ford engines that Minardi is struggling with this year—engines that, frankly, haven't even sniffed a point yet. But now they’ve got Bernie Ecclestone holding a minority stake. The Arrows A23, which was designed by Mika Coughlan before his move over to McLaren, managed to snag two points and showed way more life than the Minardi-esque mess we saw back in July before things went south last year.

"We’re going to tear these cars apart and see if any of their design philosophy can help us squeeze some performance out of our current setup", the Minardi spokesperson remarked.

Minardi is being tight-lipped about the actual price tag for those five cars. They’ll only claim the purchase wasn't funded by their new minority owner and benefactor, Bernie Ecclestone, but rather "thanks to the generosity of one of our Dutch sponsors".

I suppose he probably should... but then again, even the Michelin rubber wasn't performing for everyone today. It looked like Trulli was struggling with his tires—one of them seemed to just give up on him—and Raikkonen wasn't having much of a better time either.

If things go according to plan, I think Bridgestone will have their act together by next season, if not sooner. They really ought to.

Rainbow said:I was just trying to kill some time before the next race by posting something interesting—for me, anyway, maybe for you guys too—but you all jumped down my throat immediately. Great.

Well... I guess I’ll give you credit for the effort... truly... 😘

And honestly, even if that lander actually makes it to Mars... God knows what kind of circus that news will turn into... 😁

Bryan Long14 said:... does this Mars Lander have a Mercedes's engine ??? 🙂 🙂

Fair point... 😁

Raymond Palmer8 said:What is this forum even turning into...😢

Into what?
Either say it or shut up for good... 😁 (huh, I guess I've been hitting too many weddings lately)

Austin Evans said:here’s what they’re actually allowing:

1. messing with tire pressure and getting them balanced
2. you can swap out fluids if their specific gravity is over 1.1
3. adding or bleeding off compressed gases
4. adjusting the front wing aerodynamics, provided you aren't slapping on new parts
5. accessing the electronics through the physical chassis connectors
6. some minor stuff like spark plugs, brakes, the battery...

Kids, take notes and try to keep up... 😉

Give me a break... a little red bottle—calling it McLaren's help with the lander design is just a stretch... it basically amounts to the same thing... 😛
Especially since Ferrari actually managed to finally remember they should probably send something of their own to Mars... 😉 😛

Well, folks, McLaren is running late as usual... 🙂

Do me a favor and take a look at this thread below... 😈

mistybear87 said:I can't say for certain, but I've always had this nagging feeling that when the cars pull up to the starting line, they might get away with making a few last-minute adjustments to things under the hood.

Personally, I’m pretty sure those kinds of tweaks are strictly off-limits once they hit the grid...

Q-master, I suspect Ron Dennis might actually take your recommendation to heart.
