@@psk5746 because mclaren was too strict on engine clearances...

McLaren ran a size zero rear end, and there were insanely tight clearances with everything. Franz brought them to STR and allowed em to fine-tune their shit for RBR to pick them up.

Basically he had a Fernando Alonso 2012 season

As a 9 year old kid who loves Michael I think 2003 was the year where I do appreciate how insanely good kimi is

I’m not arguing with you, but wasn’t that situation caused by Hondas dislike for 2 strokes and stubbornness to not make one? Even though the NSR is arguably the greatest 2 smoker ever made

@@spainobmxer69 As I understand it, since the FIM limited the 500cc class to just 4 cylinders, Honda backed out of the class in '68. Mainly due to their sales being 4-stroke bikes, and the fact that 2-strokes have more of an advantage w/ 4 cylinders. From Wiki: "In November 1977 Honda announced it would be returning to motorcycle Grand Prix racing using four-stroke technology. Even though two-stroke engines dominated motorcycle Grand Prix racing in the late 1970s, Honda felt compelled to race what they sold and thus competed using a high-technology, four-stroke race bike. Since a conventional four-stroke, four-cylinder engine could not produce the same power as its two-stroke rivals, Honda increased its valve area to be competitive."

There was nothing 'advanced' in oval piiston 'technology'. Any idiot could tell it just wouldn't work. They spent millions trying to make absurd oval rings to seal properly, what a joke that was. NR will ever stand for Never Ready. But the racing crowd is always quick to cry genius, hey. Where fails, - and lots of money - prevail. .

And faster than you can say Oval Pistons...highside 💥

Apparently if it wheelied, the oil pished out of the engine breather over the rear tyre.....

Carl Haas never returned to F1 after 1986 and died in 2016. Although his F1 team never quite got traction, he ran successful teams in the US (in F5000 and the second Can Am series, and most notably with Paul Newman in CART). Today's Haas is named for Gene Haas (no relation) who also partners with Tony Stewart to run a NASCAR team.

Was there any mention of how Newry and Patrick Head were directly responsible for the death of Ayrton Senna in 1994?

@@sleepingwarrior4618 Newey speaks about the shortcomings of the FW16 and how he and his team solved them. But do you honestly think Newey would even imply he had some responsibility over what happened in Imola in 1994? I mean, seriously?

@@txtmstrjoe he was the supervision for the metal fabricator that did the job. I don't remember that guy's name off the top of my head but he was a rookie craftsman. A baby if want for a better word. The criminal prosecution found Adrian Newry and Patrick Head both legally responsible for Sennas death. The shortcomings of the FW16 were mainly because the driver couldn't find the balance point as the car was much longer and less like a go cart and could not be thrown into and out of corners like the MP4/8 could when he was at McLaren. It had much more of a pendulum effect and much more likely to spin. Here is some text you can copy and paste for the reference material.... "The MP4/8 was known for having a considerably shorter wheelbase (length) and was a noticeably smaller car in length than Williams FW15C. Initially, Ayrton Senna was impressed by the car's handling and nimbleness..." It was this change in wheelbase that Senna struggled to master in the first few races of that season. However, in no way were these 'shortcomings' of the same type as the big 'shortcoming' that I'm referring to. He will not want to mention senna.....he will want to reinvent himself to the younger audience (you) so that you are less aware of the mistakes made to Hill and Sennas car. They both had the steering mod done.....both by the same guy. Hill wasn't pushing as hard as Senna and he refused to blame the team but the fact remains that Hills column was fractured and in the process of failing as well. Senna just pushed first and it failed. Newey was DIRECTLY responsible for Senna death. Seriously. The Italian conviction proves it. Are you saying that Newey distancing himself from it means he wasn't liable in your eyes?

@@sleepingwarrior4618 First of all, you only asked me a very simple question, about whether or not Newey would actually mention he and/or Head were responsible for what happened in Imola. I gave you my answer, and it was a simple answer to a very simple question. Secondly, I am not young. (I wish I still was, but I am almost fifty years old.) I have been a Formula 1 fan for most of my life, and I have dedicated a lot of my life to learning and studying the history of this sport. I saw Senna's accident on live TV when it happened and it remains one of the more traumatic things I've seen in sport. So your implication that I am somehow uninformed because my succinct answer to your simple question doesn't give you the answer you wanted to hear from me is, honestly, laughable. Third, why not read the book yourself then complain to Newey and/or his publisher if what he wrote doesn't match what you want to believe? If you're not going to do that, then don't come at me for answering your simple question with a simple and accurate answer. Fourth, I have not come upon any reliable sources regarding all the modifications done on the two Williams cars at Imola, much less the names of the mechanics involved. I HAVE come across a lot of info from people I wouldn't consider reliable, information I would personally declare as speculation at best because a lot of the info presented is anecdotal at best. Most of these sources also injected a lot of personal emotion into their delivery of information, so I have to treat these sources with a healthy dose of skepticism. I will say that a lot of the events from that day do meet the threshold of being suspicious. Destroying Senna's FW16's black box is arguably a criminal act as it constitutes destruction of evidence and greatly impedes any efforts at a proper investigation. This is something that happens more often than not when there is a lot of money involved, in my considered opinion. Lastly, I declared no position regarding the Imola trial. I WILL say this, though: Everything I know and understand about how cars work tells me something broke on that Williams. No one but the people who actually worked on that car in any capacity on that weekend know what happened. So don't attack me or anybody else if we don't tell you what you want to know, if all you've asked is whether or not Newey said anything particularly revelatory about Senna's car on 1 May 1994, specifically in regards to whether or not he would actually admit culpability to anything.

@@txtmstrjoe I asked if he addressed how he and Head were responsible for Sennas death but your "very simple answer to a very simple question" did not actually answer my question. It answered a question I did not ask. You seem to have related the question I asked about shortcomings to do with the car rather than the people that worked on the car. I cannot read a book of a man that killed one of the greatest drivers we have ever seen. He should have been in jail, not writing books. I don't know why you describe my position as a belief based position. Head and Newey were both convicted in criminal courts in Italy. Not belief. Facts. There were no list of modifications. There was one. Only one....done to both cars. I agree you should be skeptical, read the court reports. They are available and translated into English. I don't have them to hand but there is contemporaneously written reports of the key evidence, that steering column modification. It was found that it was the cause of the accident. You will also find that they both escaped jail because the prosecution was not brought in time so no punishment could be given. I agree that the destruction of the telemetry is one of many issues. It would have shown that the steering sensor had full left input but that the video showed the wheels were going straight, proving that the steering column had failed. It's hard to tell on camera as the footage is grainy (and that was also done on purpose, it was done in post production to blur the lines). Something did break and it was decided in court that the steering column failed because of the bad welding of the 19mm pipe into the 22mm pipe. We do know what happened. It's a matter of court record and they are discoverable. There was a website that had them on called something like "thesennafiles". If you look for the court records, they are discoverable. I asked if Newey mentioned his part in Sennas death. He didn't. Why would he, it's his dirty little secret. He was responsible....directly....for the supervision of his team. Nobody checked that mod. Would he have spotted the flaw or not? We will never know but I'd like to think he'd spot a single seal weld of 19mm into 22mm pipe isn't enough to deal with the stresses of steering an F1 car....not then and not now..... but I'm not an engineer...and Senna was killed because of it. It just bugs me when people hold either Newey or Head in any position of esteem when they literally caused Sennas death by failing to supervise that modification. It's not a go at you directly. Just remember what happened that day, why and who's watch it was on. Adrian Neweys.

My wife got it for me for our anniversary. I was gonna take it to read on the plane when we went to Canada but it was too heavy for my backpack 🤣

The whole of F1 is pretty piss - poor these days. Too corporate. Not enough edgy personalities. Tyres go off as soon as you push. 1990 - 2010 is my favourite era

I think at this point the EBD only worked on throttle and that’s why the handling was so bad.

What you described is called cold-blowing, which was introduced by Red Bull in 2010. The infamous noise of the 2011 cars come from hot-blowing, which kept fuel injection on while off-throttle but didn't ignite it, so the fuel burnt in the exhaust giving the gases for the diffuser.

I've got an even earlier EBD on record from 1983! When wing cars were banned, the Renault team created the RE40 car where the exhausts and turbo-wastegate flow directly into the diffuser...

The main reason was that the v10 engines expelled hotter gases than the v8 engines, so when using blown diffuser in the cars of that era the engine expelled such hot gases that the diffuser burned and the car lost stability, in addition to that the aerodynamic load of the diffuser was poorly distributed so that a tire heated more than another suffering several punctures in high speed corners causing several accidents. in one of those accidents alexander wurz almost died from a crash in a test day so when mclaren saw the danger they never took the car out to run, also thanks to the fact that de la rosa was the only one who dared to test the car in McLaren they respected him more and thanks to that he could drive officially for them in 2005 and 2006.

Schumi/benetton/ferrari and the almighty bgp01 with button then Merc development.

No, because he was in a entirely different role. It was Rory Byrne that designed the cars, and who's considered Newey's competitor. Though it must be said, that Ross Brawn has designed race winning cars, just not in F1. He designed the XJR-14 which won the 91 WSC, and would later be redesigned to the Porsche WS-95 which won Le mans and Daytona.

The car Brawn raced was a Honda. Ross Brawn at best could only be involved in adapting a different engine to it.

Which is funny cos at the time people hated how they were evolving 🤣

Chapman built race cars drivers got killed in. Not much talk of Senna's Williams designed by yours truly

@@markfrankham1 in Chapman's Day all cars were death traps. Patrick Head was untimately responsible for the Williams, that is why Newey left. And there still is not conclusive proof of what failed.
