I miss the times where Formula 1 wasn't gay.
Remember when Formula 1 cars were awesome?

Was always a sportscar Chad because that was the only non-NASCAR thing on TV. Never saw F1 in its heyday.

Kek, step up your bait game newfag
Cope zoomer. Nobody liked the V10 era until like 2015
>you only know what you have when its gone
Yes
>nobody liked the era which was even more popular than the netflix zoomer infested shit we have today
ok retard
>Calls others zoomers
>Doesn't even know tilke had only one/two tracks pre 2000
Ask me how i know you wasn't even alive back then
1950s-1970s, where at least one driver died every season
It was so fast and awesome back then. Modern F1 is boring in comparison to 2004.
Just bring back the naturally aspirated V10s. Fuck the oversized turbo hybrid cuck boxes.
But anon, the environment.
Hybrid turbo cars burn less gas and that's good, just ignore that there are more races now.
Very malthusian indeed. As efficiency increases, so does consumption. So much so that the net environmental impact still continues to grow. Curious!
I know you are joking but I still want to point out how stupid this "muh environment" argument is.
All the parts for hybrid cars that have to be imported from all over the world plus the production of batteries are most likely net worse for "muh environment", F1 cars using less fuel isn't worth the cost. This also applies to normal cars btw.
Hybrid cars are for people that want to feel good because the data sheet says it uses a little less fuel and they think they are saving the environment by using it. They don't think about production cost at all.
It is sad that F1 has been cucked by "environmentalists" the same way that many institutions have.
Ferrari 2022...
I honestly prefer the 2022 car tbh.
definitely
... vs Ferrari 2004
I fear we will never get the feeling from back then again.
The purity of racing without batteries and loads of other heavy shit on the car is greatly missed, along with those wonderful screaming engines. Why did they have to switch to vacuum cleaners?
I thought the cut tyres were pretty gay at the time, but honestly I think less grip is way better (as long as there's not much downforce, and the limit is gradual), to the point where I would love teams being mandated to use cross-ply tyres lol. That and an absolute limit of <5kg downforce at 180mph.
I would change the regulations as I feel they are way too strict at the moment and don't leave much space for innovation, which is kind of the point of F1.
Stop forcing hybrind cars as they are way too complicated. Just do pure naturally aspirated engines with a max displacement, let the teams figure out the rest. Also no refueling and no pit stops. This would force the teams to build efficient and robust cars.
Hybrids aren't complicated, you're just too stupid to understand how they work
Hybrids are the explicit reason the costs for both F1 and LMP1 ballooned wildly out of control
Lol no, costs were already insane well before that
And increased exponentially more after.
Nearly every manufacturer that bowed out of LMP1 explicitly said it was because the costs got out of control to develop the mandatory hybrid systems, and the FIA themselves specifically introduced spec hybrids for the Hypercars to offset the cost of developing them.
Sources? Seems far more likely that costs would have gone up regardless
Of course the costs went up regardless, but the additional complexity of cutting-edge hybrid systems made it exponentially worse. Just like turbocharging and four wheel drive made racing cars more expensive to develop back in the 80s when the tech was new.
I don’t care enough digging through old press releases, if you want to read it you can find it yourself.
>new tech so teams can stay competitive makes costs go up
Oh okay
Costs have come down due to Max Costcappen
How about you just watch some better motorsports where there is no cuckery?
>Ferrari mogs everyone else
>schumacher wins every race
>championship is decided in August
those years were boring as fuck
>cucked nonslicks
yes I remember what it was like in the mid to late 90s. mika häkkinen winning those titles was magic. then it became stale after that. it's an unpopular opinion but I prefer F1 this way. the dominance was clearly not a problem to anyone when ferrari was doing it, or red bull, but noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo you can't have mercedes dominate the sport
in the analog time there were some horrible teams that folded within the season. hybrids had this too but for a good time now there haven't been mid season drop outs. I wish they would allow andretti to join
Based indy was fun saw v10s v8s.
Why do fins think any temperature over 60 is a sauna and get nude and drunk at races its based than the fags wearing ear muffs.
Indy never ran V10s. They went from turbo Offy I4s to turbo V8s to the current turbo V6s. N/A cars haven’t raced the 500 since the 1960s
Not indycar retard f1 was hosted 01-07 saw poowis hamilshart himself before he was a huge meme always a meme tho.
>posts the second-worst era
Zoom zoom zoomaloom be zoomin
what's the deal with modern f1?
t. stopped caring when the mercedes era started
The production for television/streaming got too driver-centric in a cringe way, the top teams won't hire two drivers that can compete, doing too many things to try and please people who will never watch like environmentalists. I still watch though.
Yeah that's true, I've personally always been more invested in the cars and tech in racing. That said I'll probably drop F1 once Sir Lewis Hamilton™ (PBUH) retires
Simple, its not sportscar racing
Simple, its not rally
Rally and the Dakar are for women.
>when the mercedes era started
To be fair Merc era is over
Luv me some
V10
Refueling
No halo cuck
Simple as
F1 has been gay since like forever. Like one anon here said, its just a glorified spec series-all cars have been the same since like the 80s. Add to that a shitty BOP that allowed the same teams to win for years and clearly bought judges and you get a WWE-tier shitshow. Sportscar racing is where its at, F1 is bullshit for NPC's
You just posted an example of all the things wrong with sportscar racing. Fuck LMDH
Also fuck the FIA too, fucking retards.
elaborate
no
>im right because...just because i am okay?!
nu-LULZ at its best
>newfag didn't understand the meme
begone tourist
nagger
On how the FIA is incompetent? How fucking new are you?
>Also fuck the FIA too, fucking retards.
von Trips of truth
F1 should change back to smaller wheels and tyres. Would improve racing, reduce weight, reduce spray and it would be safer. They run 405/18/?? on the rear, swapping to a 350/16/?? wouldnt be out of the question.
Image is 2017 tyres along side current (fitted)
Ive had a bburago of one of these since the 90s, only recently I read about it and whoo boy was it a steaming pile of manure. Schumi actually being able to win in that soap box makes him even more admirable.
McLaren.
Formula One died around 1994 or 1995.
