Motors The Nigel Mansell Moustache Appreciation Society

Wait.. what?!? I need to know more about that.

Anyway. Williams slow steady turn around has been wonderful to watch. Having 2 'proper' drivers was the last step after Vowles dragged Williams kicking and screaming out of the 90s over the last couple of years. I can't imagine how he felt when he got there from Merc and found them still working from printed spreadsheets. Probably quite ill.

 

I assume RedFlames was talking about Jos

 

Jos? A violent bully? Say it isn't so!

 

'Mr Wife Beater' was indeed referring to Jos... nasty piece of work that he is...

Gianpiero 'GP' Lambiase, Max's race engineer just comes across as an arsehole...

 

So it's day 4 of the extra special pre-testing test and Mercedes are already within 1.2 seconds of last year's fastest race lap at Catalunya. Seems like fears these cars would be struggling to stay in front of F2 were premature.

Or everyone other than Mercedes is in serious trouble.

Edit, 0.9s now.

Edit again, 0.6s via Ferrari.

 

It was always overblown. The cars were going to be slower, sure. But they were never going to be that much slower [or stay that way for long].

 

Do we need a 2026 thread?

 

None of today’s F1 drivers, possess a proper moustache…

Come back Mr Mansell, show them how to do it.

EDIT: Dick Strawbridge is the number 1 moustache man.
