Just imagine what would "Ronaldihno" of F1 do....if he would just been given a chance.proteus wrote: ↑28 Apr 2019, 10:25Khm khm....zoroastar wrote: ↑28 Apr 2019, 10:18racing isnt really a poor mans sport (in any category). because of that i would imagine the median wealth of their families are well above average to non racing families. that doesnt mean that every driver with rich parents pays to drive. Lando gets paid by mclaren to drive. something like 1 million per year i believe. unless you can provide some proof otherwise.
"Senna was born in the Pro-Matre Maternity Hospital of Santana, a neighbourhood of São Paulo.[10] The middle child of wealthy Brazilian landowner and factory owner Milton da Silva and his wife Neide Senna da Silva, he had an older sister, Viviane and a younger brother, Leonardo.[11] He was left-handed."
where is your evidence that landos dad is paying mclaren for his seat? or that he has mega endorsements like perez? if you have them then post them up, if not, then why are you even saying this? alonso had a big bank endorsement when he went to ferrari, does that make him a pay driver too?GoranF1 wrote: ↑29 Apr 2019, 23:40I strongly disagree.
From the point view of how evenly they treat their customers, I presume.you mean? If that is the case then yes.
You reminded me that last year I was thinking that 2019 was a do or die year for PP at McLaren. Seems almost entirely do and very little die right now.Big Tea wrote: ↑29 Apr 2019, 22:28Its nice to see the people at Mclaren being realistic and saying they have a good upgrade rather than what we have seen this last few year of when we get our new silver bullet upgrade we will be in front of the Merc.
Small steps as long as they are all forward.
This car is looking better than the last few years so onwards and upwards.
Even Sainz is clearly faster than Norris, Sainz who was clearly beaten by Hulkenberg who is mediocore driver, not to say he was destroyed by overrated and hyped Crashstapen. So yeah Norris is in F1 10%on talent 90%on Daddy.zoroastar wrote: ↑30 Apr 2019, 01:30where is your evidence that landos dad is paying mclaren for his seat? or that he has mega endorsements like perez? if you have them then post them up, if not, then why are you even saying this? alonso had a big bank endorsement when he went to ferrari, does that make him a pay driver too?
! The guys at the base are doing their best, preparing new items. I do not know what progress they will make, but it is important that it be. This is especially important in Barcelona - the Spanish route is demanding on the efficiency of aerodynamics, and we need to add to this.Source?_cerber1 wrote: ↑30 Apr 2019, 09:18Lando is very optimistic
Question: the Team is preparing new items for the next stage, on what progress do you expect in Barcelona
Lando Norris: I hope we will play a second
I didn’t quite catch the “I hope we will play a second” part. Is he expecting to gain a second of laptime from the upgrades?_cerber1 wrote: ↑30 Apr 2019, 09:21Through the translator.

I find the one second reference is interesting, because Carlos also referenced one second on Sunday, saying they're currently one second from where they need to be... Maybe that is their target, but we don't know whether for over the rest of the season. It would be near impossible to find one second in the first quarter of the season, with a car that doesn't have a fundamental flaw.
