"An incredible simulation by @tonicuque, former Formula 1 engineer, on a lap of Miami with the following modifications, which will prevent superclipping and ensure that the maximum speed is reached at the end of the straight

MGU-K: From 350kW to 200kW
Recharge: From 9MJ to 6 MJ
Slew rate: From 100kW/s to 50kW/s
MGU-K/ICE ratio: From 50/50 to 36/64"

Chronically online fans have been attacking Franco Colapinto on social media over the incident with Bearman. Not that it was even his fault, it is the schitty regs that caused it and all of the drivers had been warning that something like that was eventually bound to happen.

Such a pity that BMW had paper thin cylinder walls and kept blowing up. He would have been WC if not for it's reliability I reckon. He was a ballsy driver.
I actually loved his story of how he got into F1 with his dad being working class and the two of them flying over to the US in a mate's small plane's cargo section. His dad's mate was a carnation farmer if I recall and used to export flowers so they'd hitch a ride to the US so he could kart in his younger days.

By 2003 the BMW wasn't a hand grenade anymore. Montoya had three retirements in 2003 and only 1 was an engine failure. Ralf retired twice and in both cases it was a crash.

The real issue was inconsistency, something that plagued both Ralf and Montoya. On their days both were fast, but they had too many off days and could be error-prone, and to beat Michael in that period you needed to be absolutely on it every weekend.

Saying all of the above, Montoya had 9 podiums finishes to Michael's 8 in 2003, but Michael just won more races.

The real what if in 2003 was Kimi. 10 podiums all season, the definition of consistency. But only 1 win and then that engine blow up in Germany where he was leading the race and in control...

You cannot possibly know that off hand.

Surely

Michelin-Gate didn't help either. The Bridgestone runners (lead by Ferrari) complaining about Michelin's tyre before the Monza GP was a big factor too. After Michelin were forced to change the makeup of their compound, it was over. I always found the timing of that complaint sus...
