Nice edit, but whatever




These mense on high horses can't seem to take jokes... So easy to piss these LHOnlyFans off

With Max, Charles, Lewis, George and maybe Kimi (in the future) still around I doubt Oscar would just have it his way. But you have to admit, he seems to be a worthy contender. And I'm definitely not a Macca supporter.

Fck me, I sound like that idiot Vaaldumb now, but hopefully you know what I mean.

LOL you including a 40 year old Hamilton that could not beat Russell or Leclerc the last 2 years, in the mix, shows what a genius you are.

I was there first

I took some time doing it yesterday. He wins 7 under the current scoring system.

He beats Piquet in '83, Lauda in '84 and Senna in '88 while retaining the titles he won in '85, '86, '89 and '93.

Tried it with fastest lap points?

Formula 1: FIA discusses new 'catch-up' performance rules

Formula 1 bosses agree in principle to changes that would allow engine manufacturers facing a performance shortfall under next year's new rules to catch up.

Formula 1 bosses have agreed in principle to a mechanism that would allow engine manufacturers facing a performance shortfall under next year's new rules to catch up.

But there was no agreement at a meeting of the F1 Commission on Thursday on a proposal to cut the amount of electrical energy permitted in races.

That had been tabled as a means of preventing cars running out of energy down the straights at certain circuits.

Both ideas will be discussed at future meetings of the F1 power-unit manufacturers.

It was broadly agreed by the F1 Commission that the regulations, which are scheduled to run from 2026-30, should be modified so that it is easier for any manufacturer whose engine is short of performance to close the gap to its rivals.

The new rules for next year retain 1.6-litre turbo hybrid engines but with a simplified architecture while increasing the proportion of power supplied by the electrical part of the engine to about 50% from the current 20%, and running on sustainable fuels.

There are concerns that the greater demands on the hybrid system could lead to significant performance differences between the various manufacturers - in 2026, Red Bull Powertrains and Audi join current suppliers Mercedes, Ferrari and Honda in the sport.

Mercedes, Honda and Audi made clear at a meeting at the Bahrain Grand Prix earlier this month that the sport should stick to the rules as they are and retain the electrical part of the engine as a potential performance differentiator.

The increased hybrid aspect of the rules was critical in attracting Audi and Red Bull's partner Ford, and in convincing Honda to stay in F1. It has also persuaded General Motors to enter F1.

GM will run a Cadillac-branded new team next year using Ferrari engines and has pledged to have its own power-unit ready by 2029.

One key concern about the 2026 rules is that it will be difficult for cars to recover sufficient energy from the rear axle to deploy the permitted maximum amount of electrical power through a lap.

The aerodynamic rules have already been changed to accommodate this, by introducing moveable aerodynamics which will reduce drag on straights so cars have a faster top speed and are therefore braking for longer.

Even so, some fear that drivers will have to 'lift-and-coast' from quite early on the straights on some circuits to optimise deployment and overall performance.

There are some circuits where cars may run short of energy, and others where cars might have too much, which would curtail the effectiveness of the new push-to-pass electrical boost system being introduced next year in place of the current DRS overtaking aid.

Some argue that the best way to solve this potential issue is to reduce the permitted amount of electrical power deployment in races to 200kw (about 270bhp) from 350kw (470bhp). It would stay at 350kw during qualifying and for the push-to-pass system.

The idea is that this would 'smooth out' the deployment and make it more consistent around the lap.

Among the teams, Red Bull are the biggest supporters of this idea.

But Mercedes are strongly opposed - their F1 boss Toto Wolff has described the plan to change the rules as "a joke".

Standardization based on who can and who cannot is a silly approach.

With a point for fastest lap he is a 6-time WDC.

Piquet beats him in '83 by 1 point. Without a point for fastest lap they finish level on points with Prost winning via wins countback (4 wins to 3).

He still beats Lauda in '84 and Senna in '88.

Retains his '85, '86, '89 and '93 titles.

Honestly, this sounds terrible.

It comes across as a bastard love child of Formula E and WEC.
 

McLAREN RACING STRATEGIC PORTFOLIO REVIEW RESULTS IN FORMULA E EXIT​

McLaren Racing today announces that following a strategic review of its racing portfolio the decision was taken not to continue our participation in the FIA Formula E World Championship beyond the current 2024/25 season.
“We are immensely proud of what we have achieved in Formula E and the series plays an integral part in the overall motorsport landscape, but the time is right to explore other opportunities that more closely align with McLaren Racing’s overall strategic direction - including our 2027 entry into the FIA World Endurance Championship. For now, we are focused on setting this great team up for future success by working towards securing a new owner. The team has delivered a strong start to the year and we intend to finish the season on a high. I’d like to thank the team, Formula E, our partners, and our fans for their continued support.”
