RMweb Premium njee20 Posted January 24, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 24, 2019 What a weird rant. He just comes across a Schumacher superfan who won't acknowledge anyone else as his equal, which is debatable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete the Elaner Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 What's new? Irvine has always talked himself up like that. He was Schumacher's No2 so how better to justify himself as the 2nd best than to talk his team-mate up as being the best ever? Ferrari had a winning set-up at the time, with Jean Todt & Ross Brawn directing the team. Ferrari & Vettel have made some errors in the past 2 years, but I do not mean this as a criticism. It is what happens when you are striving to be the best. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed they can have a smoother 2019 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold 57xx Posted January 27, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 27, 2019 He was Schumacher's No2 so how better to justify himself as the 2nd best than to talk his team-mate up as being the best ever? Ferrari had a winning set-up at the time, with Jean Todt & Ross Brawn directing the team. They also had exclusive fuel and tyres not available to other teams. For Irvine to then imply Hamilton's racking up of wins is partly due him have the best car smacks of hypocrisy. Every top driver will go for the best car they can get a seat in, why wouldn't they?

Mike Storey Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Renault are saying all the right things, despite losing their new boss: https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/141203/new-rules-will-put-back-top-teams-in-19--renault But they also seem to be taking a very big gamble. For the sake of racing, let's hope it pays off.

Hobby Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Well the "European" race often meant there were two races in one country so nothing new... I suspect their long term aim will be for most of the races to be in the USA with a few outside and then rename it the "Formula 1 World Series"...

RMweb Premium njee20 Posted January 28, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 28, 2019 Not sure. I know they want to increase popularity in the US, but I'm sure they realise that a US-centric series would be really daft. That's basically what Indycar is anyway! Interesting gamble by Renault, another one hoping that pays off. Testing could be interesting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone with a deep enough pocket can buy the top Indy chassis, engine and other bits. F1 is meant o be prototype racing and mostly is, HAAS' deal with Ferrari and Red Bull/Torro Rosso excepted, although the transfer of parts is limited in each case. Engines can be bought from other manufacturers but the chassis is supposed to be an in-house build. Except where regulation permits you can build what you think will work.
