Olden Day Drivers Pros: 1. Extreme levels of danger and thus extreme courage required to participate. Even basic things like seat belts and roll bars didn't become mandatory until the 60s! 2. Awesome circuits! Old Spa and Nurburgring courses were simply epic (although, again, extremely dangerous). ...

yep, many want to see speed records broken at indy. imo there is no sane reason to try and go 235-240 anymore. the underside of the car acted in reverse during helio's crash. it created lift. damn lucky, not going to be that lucky with 33 other cars on the track. 210ish is more than fast enough doe...

Sadly in my time following F1 I have experienced many deaths in motor racing, actually personally witnessing 4. The 50s was the worst time & I still remember each & every one. The deaths of Roland & Ayrton brought the reality of it back to me again. I remember sitting & hoping that Ayrton would be O...

Thanks for the input. That last picture is interesting, that is also a variation of none tobacco. I didn't think they used that in 1992. Do you know what race that might be?

No Fangio, Ascari, Stewart, Graham Hill, Brabham, Clark... ? Fangio was never beaten by a teammate. Ascari was beaten comprehensively in 1954 and 1955 although his car didn't finish a race in that period. Stewart was beaten by BRM teammate Graham Hill on debut in 1965 but Stewart beat Hill in 1966....

The presence of the Ecurie Belge and Johnny Claes signs plus the number six on the nose of his yellow Talbot-Lago nail the picture as the 1950 Monaco Grand Prix.

I'll be the devils advocate here but you can't really compare Red Bulls dominance against Mercedes dominance. When Red Bull were dominating all the engines were frozen but roughly equal, they weren't the same but each engine had advantages and disadvantages over the other which made it a level play...

They couldn't lapse in to German the language of F1 is English and they would have been reprimanded for speaking German at an official event. They could have lapsed into German, maybe they are not supposed to but they could have it being both of their first languages. The point I was making was tha...

It doesn't seem to me that either of them were taking it seriously.
Just a bit of banter which I feel livened things up.
If they were being serious I imagine they would have lapsed into German.

Possibly the first father son duo in F1 were Hans Stuck & his son Hans junior. I wouldn't say there successful but they were pretty useful. Hans senior more so before the war & junior in sports cars though he had a few F1 podiums. Hans junior was taught how to drive by his father on the Nordschleife.
