all sparked by this. 8 years ago to the day that Multi 21 happened & the most awkward podium for a long time. ive felt this since 2010 when we got to know him. that i liked Vettel out of the car i think he funny, he knows his history, isnt afraid to speak up on the issues that matter & is just a huge fan of sport lucky enough to get chance to race in F1
but i think Vettel in car reputation never recovered from that day & his explanation was week or 2 later in china as it was as far from an apology as you can get never recovered. as it painted him as a selfish ruthless racer who believed he was above the law. no respect for boss or any of the hundreds of staff that work for them

I am wondering if this will happen to Verstappen seeing Red Bull do seem to burn their drivers early and should he ever leave to Ferrari only he might find that he can't be throwing wobblers at the team like Sunday and expect to be tolerated

yeah they dont help their drivers, by indulging their behaviour vettel & verstappen, as its like parenting without boundaries. they do need a ross brawn type character or a toto wolff
Until they ultimately become the Crusty one.

1994
It was the first day of practice for the 1994 Brazilian Grand Prix, and the debut of many new drivers and teams. It was expected that Ayrton Senna and Williams would dominate the season.
However, during Q1, whilst Senna was customarily fastest, he was only 0.2 seconds ahead of young upstart Michael Schumacher, but a huge 2 seconds ahead of teammate Damon Hill (who had been expected to be competitive, having regularly challenged Prost for pace in 1993)...
Everyone thought this must just be a blip, and that the real Senna/Williams combo would emerge either in Q2, or the race...

Senna should have won the race, but when lapping Satoru Nakajima lost his front wing:

well yes Vettel & Riccardio can admit both were golden child only to be quickly got shut off
there's alot of evidence to say that Senna & Williams should have dominated that season if Benetton had built a Legal car & not 1 with allegations of traction control

Yes like the Sith Apprentices where Marko is Emperor Palpatine
On this day in 2022 Max Verstappen continued to prove he's a whiney little prick.
On this day in 1980 Clay Regazzoni's F1 career ended when his car ran in to a concrete block in a run off area at the Long Beach Grand Prix. He would probably have died if the car had not been slowed by first running in to Hector Rebaque's abandoned Brabham. Instead, he ended up a paraplegic, but still continued to race cars with hand controls. This article is about his adapted Ferrari F40 - A Perfect Dance: Clay Regazzoni's Ferrari F40
This race also marked the only time Jody Scheckter scored points in the whole season for finishing 5th. This was remarkable because Scheckter was the reigning World Champion.
It also saw the final podium finish for 2 time World Champion Emerson Fittipaldi in the Fittipaldi F7. He would retire at the end of the season

ive heard about that, as during practise that topic came up the worst car produce by reigning champions, in this car constructors. & they talked alot about the 1980 ferrari. saying that was by & far away the worst.
how/ why was it so bad. surely 1980 would be a evolution of 1979. & even then if it was so bad just race the 1979 car like lotus did earlier in the decade
