Didn't they run the F2002 for the first half of 2003 as well?

Mercedes would probably still be using the 2014 car if they could...

Like I said in that thread: Dibs on Danny Ric. It's my birthright!
That reversing by Rosberg needs to be .giffed
how come people always forget the years where Ferrari had real competition during the Schumi era when talking about them? They dominated for 3 years. (2001,2002,2004) All the other years they had to fight tooth and nail and lost most of their opportunities and winning some by sheer luck/reliability (2003) or driver ability (2000).
I hear this all the time. Schumi/Ferrari had no real competition. And i don't mean you, but the ones who usually say that quite often say it to make Schumi's/Ferrari's success sound less impressive than it is.
Sorry had to get that out of my system lol

I would add 2001 wasn't really a domination. Ferrari and McLaren were actually closely matched, no different than in previous seasons, but off form Hakkinen, Coulthard (c'mon, he was never a top talent) and worse reliability resulted in easy Schumacher championship. McLaren should finish at worst within 2 wins in championship, not 6 like it happened.
Schumi only had 2 years on very easy difficulty level.

People tend to forget years like that when not looking back fondly on dominators they disliked.
2000 was the last big Schumacher/Häkkinen fight, and 2003 had 7 different winners.
The same can be said about Vettel's years. People often talk about 2010-2013 as if Vettel dominated them all, when in reality he had to clinch those championships back from 4th/5th in the standings in 2010 and 2012.

Everybody here knows 2012 was supposed to go to McLaren right? They dropped the ball so hard that year that I practically consider that one gift wrapped for any other team that won it.
Supposedely they had a great car but couldnt get the tyes right if i remember correctly. So disappointing after winning the first 2 races.

2012 car was legit from what I remember. Would've won if the damn thing was reliable and they didn't fuck up in the pits a lot during the early part of the season. Also didn't help that they took some time after Canada to help Button figure out how to set it up instead of just making the thing faster.
It was a complete farce.
Circled are McLaren's retirements in 2012. I don't know what happened to Button in Malaysia and Canada, but he technically finished the races which is why I didn't circle them. Either way, that's 10 fucking retirements (6 for Hamilton - 3 while leading) and 12 no-points races.
Button wouldn't have challenged the title that year; but between McLaren's issues, Maldonado and Grojean, Hamilton was certainly robbed of it.

It doesn't matter who we are, what matters is our plan.
Why would so many teams think they need all those ssofts at Belgium? You'll probably need most of that selection to make it through the race.
Curious how different the tyre strategies are between the top 3 teams.

It's like that car was made out of plastic. Probably one of the best cars to be wasted like that.It was a complete farce.

I take it they've always been like that? I know they made a car they couldn't even make work over a decade ago and Raikkonen's McLaren's were either shit or fragile but fast. Makes me wonder why that team is held so highly even to this day since they're borderline Williams now. I hope they get back to winning ways but damn they fell from grace hard. Seems like every so often they actually get a good driver, but they seem to fail the driver. Happened to Raikkonen, Alonso and Hamilton (though yeah he won a championship, but he seemed to have more than one championship in him during that time frame).
Well they had Adrian Newey as technical director then.

I did hear he packaged some of his McLaren's too tight for the engine.
Those numbers ARE his engines.

I've been watching older races lately...Rosberg has been getting hung out to dry for years, he really does not know how to back out of anything.
Spa 2010 done, roll on Bahrain 2014...

Wow, that was some pretty cool racing. The AI seems to have improved indeed.
The racing looks fun, but man those humans definitely didn't get much attention in the graphics department :3

But isn't one of the new major features being able to lose your driver's seat? ;p
