The DRS Train podcast, which I co-host, recently interviewed Mark Slade, former F1 race engineer for Mika Hakkinen, Kimi Raikkonen, Alonso, Maldonado, Hulkenberg, Bearman and many more drivers!
It’s a great listen, you lot should check it out
@F1 Albon complaining over nothing. You’d think that after more than 100 races in F1 you’d understand what a yellow flag is, and what a green light is. I have no idea why Williams are keeping a 30 year old whose only claim to fame is ‘beating’ Nicholas Latifi and Logan Sargeant.
Ep. 117 is here!
@brook_f1 , @nedzo_f1 and @acescheil discuss the #Formula1#DutchGP in much detail!
Aston's upgrades? Covered.
Norris' commanding victory? We got it.
Lawson's redemption? A whole segment.
Why Zandvoort won't return anytime soon? Yup.

@F1_Box_Box_Box Where’s the dig? He merely said Lewis was half a second down (true) after showing good form.
I’d love to know how merely mentioning how a driver was behind their teammate with no judgement on ability, is somehow a ‘dig’ that requires surface level analysis of their own career
@LH44SevenWC Michael Schumacher left Benetton to guess at Ferrari, then left them because he was forced out, came back as a grandpa and was better than his future champion teammate at 43 years old
Fangio never sought comfort at any team and won 5 titles in 7 seasons
Lewis isn’t unique
@dldldkdkdmd123@ln1nited Räikkönen was the only top driver to be mostly mistake free in 2007. When Ferrari didn’t focus on Massa in 2008 he was the better driver.
Rosberg was better than Hamilton in 2016 by a small margin, he won the title luck corrected
@DavidSB4_ Also no mention of great season for Maldonado, the late season recovery of Massa, the incessant crashes from Grosjean, Vergne better than Ricciardo etc etc
@DavidSB4_ Alonso and Hamilton being world class is the only correct bit
Schumacher was a top 5 driver
Rosberg was good, but not great
Vettel was consistently better than Webber and the third best all year
Raikkonen was better than Grosjean in race trim
Button was shit but had moments
@effonecasualfan I swear when Lewis blocks people far more egregiously his fans call for no penalty but when other drivers do it less so, they act like it’s an elaborate scheme.
This is why I don’t support big name drivers, their fans are mostly generic idiots who have negative F1 knowledge
We haven't been sitting on our hands! Noooo, we've been cooking!🔥
Enjoy our massive mid-season review ft. @brook_f1, @nedzo_f1, @thejoshrevell, #Acescheil and #MotorsportMadness!
We even covered the 3 races we missed; Canada, Belgium, and Hungary!
Enjoy!

If Fernando actually extends till 2028 hell have a career that will span 27 years
Heres how other careers would look like if they spanned 27 years:
Senna: 1984-2011
Prost: 1980-2007
Lauda: 1971-1998
Schumacher: 1991-2018
Clark: 1960-1987
This is so absurd
@Coimbra_Bertone Plus while Ericsson has won a few races, despite being at Andretti he’s never finished higher than 6th in the standings. Also Grosjean and Schumacher have never won a race, despite the fact that Grosjean at least was a better F1 driver
Proves drivers can grow well into their 30s
@ProtonPirate@Motorsport Unfortunately the 70s isn’t any of our expertise and we likely wouldn’t do it justice. AFAIK my knowledge is mainly 50s/60s, Ciaron’s is the noughties, Peter and Nav the 2010s
