Back in '96 and '97, this one driver was pulling absolute magic in a car that was honestly slow and super unreliable.
That guy was none other than Michael Schumacher.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Oh yeah, he definitely pulled a miracle when he smashed into Jack in '97 because he just couldn't hold it together, which ended up getting him disqualified.
For what it's worth, FYI, Jack had five DNFs plus a disqualification that year, while MS only had four.

Otherwise, FYI, Jack had five DNFs plus a disqualification that year, while MS only had four.

Which Jack? Brabham? Yeah, right, a total legend.👍

Jacques Villeneuve is nothing but a jerk, a loser, and a third-rate driver who only landed a championship-caliber car—you know, one actually capable of winning—by riding his father's coattails.☕

So, what was our final verdict here? ☕

Aside from the fact that Ferrari doesn't have any branding on the hood, making the whole car look a bit budget-tier. 🤷

Give it a rest. Stop embarrassing yourself. If you actually watched F1 during those years, you wouldn't be talking this nonsense.

Jason Campbell70 said:Which Jack? Brabham... yeah, now he was a total legend.👍

Jack Villeneuve is honestly just a jerk, a complete loser, and a third-rate driver who basically coasted into a championship-caliber car—you know, one that actually had a shot at winning—just because his old man was famous.☕

The only real "flaw" Jack had was that he had a massive mouth and never thought twice about telling people off, which made him pretty unpopular. It’s a huge contrast to Schummi, who was just a two-faced, phony piece of work.

😂😂😂👍 yeah, no comment 😂

Spain '96 👍

Bradley Nelson2 said:Spain '96👍

So you actually thought that was a real fight for anything???😕
Sixteen drivers didn't even finish that race, so basically only five guys were actually competing for the win 👋
it’s kind of like the US in 2005 when they were also just "battling" against a tiny group of five...

Bradley Nelson2 said:the '96 Spanish GP👍

Even though Schummi beat Senna—even in the rain and in Brazil—some people just refuse to admit that Michael Schumacher is actually the greatest driver to ever do it.

Keep obsessing over Jack if it makes you feel better. 🙂

Well, look—everyone’s entitled to their own little theories...

Someone can have a theory that Jack is faster than light, but they aren't any less of an idiot for believing it.🙄

He’s fast—no doubt about it—but I wouldn't go sticking my neck out just yet...☕

Edward Howard2 said:So you thought you were giving something away, for instance???😕
Sixteen drivers didn't even finish that race, so really, there were only five of them fighting for the win.👋
Kind of like when it was just a five-way fight in the States back in 2005...

How many seconds was Alesi trailing Schumacher? How about Jacques?
What are we doing, talking about Brazil '94? When Senna buckled under the pressure because he couldn't keep up with Schumacher, and then Schumacher just gapped him on the dry line for the rest of the lap? You're being ridiculous. I'm not wasting my breath on you.

Besides the fact that Ferrari doesn't have their logo on the hood, making them look totally broke. 🤷

The takeaway is pretty much the same—we didn't miss a thing by checking out at the end of the season. The only thing we missed was scrolling through 400 pages of recycled news and copy-pasted garbage from some random F1 fan site, as if we don't already know everything on there...

There are fewer and fewer actual discussion threads because everything just devolves into arguing about Schumacher, or who's got a bigger ego, whose dad is more powerful, or who was wearing diapers back in '95 or '96. 🙄

Well, look at that—it seems someone has finally grown up and decided to get serious. 👍

Other than the fact that Ferrari doesn't have branding on the hood, making them look absolutely broke. 🤷

We really ought to sit through a few more races before we try to figure out the actual power rankings, because jumping to conclusions this early always seems to backfire.🤷

redheron12 said:whoa, looks like someone finally grew up and decided to get serious 👍

man, I've always been a serious guy, except maybe at the start when I didn't really get how things worked here 🤷

you know how it goes... you end up jumping into every single thread just to scrap with anyone who shows up trying to troll the group 🤷

redheron12 said:Well, look at that—someone finally decided to grow up and get a little serious. 👍

That’s just what happens when you start hanging out with me. 🙏

rustystag7 said:well, I've always been a serious person

😂

Morgan Murphy7 said:that's just how he's been since we started hanging out 🙏

man, what the hell... 😢

honestly, I'm starting to think it's just his lack of willpower 🙏
