No. He was the 90s. Missing men are from 70s and 80s. Both drove with the same engine.Quote:

Jesus, I forgot that Rosberg even existed.

Lafitte? At Ligier for years, could be in there.
Not him.Quote:

Trulli
Patrese
Although I would have said both moved around too much.
Both wrong. Missing man is French. Finished on the podium three times. Debut in 1971 in Italy and last race was in 1983. He drove for numerous teams including Lotus and TyrrellQuote:

This could go in the trivia thread.
Button for Renault/Honda?
Scratch that. How about Niki Lauda for McClaren?

I wouldn't have guessed Jarier did that many races in total.
Back on the subject of onboard stuff, this popped up on my YT feed today.

I still can't fathom how he had enough grip to go round the outside of Wendlinger.
90s F1 :******)
The cars from the mid-2000's must be some of the ugliest in memory; too narrow, everything too high, and surrounded by those awful grooved tyres.
Here's a classic for you Sincere, one of the greatest laps in F1 history.

Was defending the line illegal back then? Its like the lead car had zero interest in defending the inside line.
Verstappen :drool:
After an awful slow start that turned out a very entertaining race. Riccardo with some serious overtakes. Really showing up Verstappen too.
Just caught the result. Good stuff.
Wolf :cool:
Also lol at Brundles near first mention on the podium was Hamilton Lewis when the cunt was nowhere to be seen on it.
That last 15 laps was pretty good. As much as Verstappen was a fault for the Vettel incident... there was definitely a gap, so, for once, I don't really blame him for going for it. He just didn't manage to turn it in quick enough.
Vettel is going to be super salto :D.
They interviewed him afterwards and he was far from it.Quote:

Vettel seemed relaxed enough and Verstappen got close to admitting he was wrong and needs to look at things. It was like an alternate reality.Quote:

Not a bad day for Hamilton in the end, assuming he is indeed a title challenger as usual. Hopefully the leading cars stay as close performance-wise as they have been thus far.
Verstappen is lucky he drives in this era, in some previous eras he'd be a prime candidate for death the way he goes about things.
He'd have been the Villeneuve of the era, fast but with zero self control and headed for an inevitable Tuesday funeral.
MotoGP Argentina's pretty good. Having to confine myself to heavily edited Youtube madness is not. :moop: I think Marquez is in serious bother for that race.
3 poles for ferrari in a row. Cant remember that happening for a long time.
Not even sure Massa managed that. Mercedes might just be happy to be up there with them.
Why are they doing Eurovision on the grid?
Red bulls racing each other hard
Is this considered a boring circuit (even by current standards)? It's a good advert for the city like.
