Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Mblades: According to Newy that’s a myth. They build the car to be as fast as possible in a vacuum, then they ad the driver and start making compromises, the driver who can better adapt their style to the car in its fastest form and demand the fewest compromises will be quicker. Sure certain drivers mesh with certain cars better than others but the thought Max is the only one who could be successful in the current RB isn’t true. No other team has a car that only suits one driver to the extent Max is dominant over Perez. Vettel got on particularly well with the blown diffuser, especially rotating the car on turn-in. For whatever reason, nobody could match him on that. His drop in form in 2014 coincided with the end of that technical era and he looked quite ordinary again. In '92 Mansell was able to find the high margin in the active FW14B. Ricardo Patrese, who was frequently beating Mansell in the previous year's car, just could not get along with it. Schumacher was known to favor a very positive front-end. He also liked strong engine braking. In 1995, When Ferrari tried their new V10 - a better engine than the outgoing V12 - designer John Barnard was astonished to hear Schumacher complain he did not like the off-throttle character of the V10, because the V12's high internal friction suited the feel he liked on corner entry. Williams' Frank Dernie (engineered Montoya among others) said the best drivers did not pretend to know anything about the cars; rather they told the engineer what was happening and it was for the engineer to figure out how to get things how the driver liked them. No driver (apart from maybe Mansell who had some engineering education) would get into spring rates or aero maps. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By fike: This is probably the first step in prepping the team to be sold. The team (Enstone) would be much more marketable with a customer PU deal already done. ETA: I’d even go so far to speculate that Flavio might have been brought in to operate as an intermediary between Renault and a potential buyer with a mandate to secure a PU provider, etc. If that is the case, the buyer is probably either Korean or Chinese. I’m going back to the conversation on Alpine possibly being sold and the news that (a) Carlos cancelled his planned announcement and (b) it is being reported that Alpine is now in the conversation for his services. I don’t think we are in a world where Carlos would choose to go to the current Alpine team, but it is interesting to consider what buyer might change his mind. |

He'll be a presenter on Sky next season. Probably for the best. He can replace Danica. Another possible option to see another rookie in a seat next year.

My guesses: - Daniel out at VCARB, replaced by Lawson - Everybody was set up for a Sainz announcement at Williams, but that got canceled. He is either being wooed back to Audi/Sauber or he has been informed (hot take) that Alpine (Endstone) is being purchased by Hyundai. |

The Hyundai F1 rumors have been going for a while and I don’t really see Carlos walking away from Audi or Williams to sign up for Andretti. I could be wrong, but there are significant question marks on what Andretti would do with Enstone and how much they will favor American drivers. |

The only curiousity with Marko's statement is that it has been true since the inception of the team, upto and including last Summer. If he wants to say Ricciardo didn't work out he should just spit it out. He does not usually mince words.

They didn’t even need to run a second car last year to take both championships.
