It all depends if the next STI is just as hideous as the new WRX. Toyota dropped a teaser about the GR Corolla and it's getting a 6MT with the GR Yaris engine. I'm buying an AWD daily driver next year for winters, but it depends on what the STI looks like, and how much power it's getting and how...
So what's stopping you guys from buying a GR86/BRZ? You don't care that it's slower you all say, it has a manual, there you go. And you save a few bucks.
Let's hope not. It really needs to be a VERHAMBOT race, or I'm afraid he's not going to make it. Whatever Mercedes did with Hamilton's car, it's on another level.
THAT is the biggest problem of F1. The inconsistency. That's because every weekend there's different stewards with different interpretations. Not to mention opinions. Take track limits. They're enforced in corners X,Y and Z, but not the rest. Enforce the whole damn track! Then the ridiculous...
Hard to torpedo someone when you're in front of them, and when they're on your right and you're steering left. :rofl:
But you know, common sense is in short supply at the Mercedes camp.
There's no way they could've given a penalty after Hamilton intentionally crashing out Max and Silverstone and doing nothing. They didn't touch in Brazil so just let it be. Mercedes is just lead by pathetic hypocrits that have no problem cheating, and whining when it doesn't go their way.
I think it's engine related. With how often Mercedes had to switch engines, I think they drop performance when they're past a certain mileage and McLaren hasn't swapped them for new ones as often.
A manual on the GRMN would be beyond stupid.
"Let's make a 500 hp performance Supra, with improved everything, and then neuter that performance with a manual"
Makes no sense.
A manual for the 2.0 and regular 3.0 does.
It's supposed to be a lot hotter today, which usually helps Red Bull, so we'll see. Checo had trouble with Sainz while Max easily overtook him so I doubt he'll keep Hamilton behind. Bottas will be ordered to give his spot to Hamilton if it comes to it, so it'll probably be Max P1, Ham P2, and...
