[@Myrvold]

@@F1Krazy Forti and Simtek had the same fate. First year with old design, but money. Second year, new car, promising design but no money and pulling out. The 94 Simtek was quite similar to the S921 that Andrea Moda used, which was an unbuilt BMW design that Simtek did for BMW. (Which goes to show what that car could've done in 92, if run by a team slightly competent). Regardless it was a dated design that Simtek entered F1 with. Forti's 95 car was pretty much a slight evolution of the 92 Fondmetal, a car that was a backmarker back then. Also the last F1 car to feature a traditional manual gearbox with a stick-shifter. The FG03, even though it DNQ'd in two races, were said to be a solid upgrade. But by the time it arrived, the team was virtually bankrupt and the cars were never tested, just showed up at races, still, Luca Badoer managed to outqualify a certain Ricardo Rosset once. Oh well.

It's from the medical check after the crash. IIRC, he had to do something like cough while the doc grabbed his balls. They moved when he coughed (or whatever it was he had to do) which apparently indicated that the nerves were working. Josh Revell has a brilliant video on him that includes the full story.

[@ctrlaltdelete200390]

3:12 Inoue is referring to the Cremasteric reflex. The testicles can be lifted up as a reflex when the inside of the thigh is stroked. The relevant anatomy is that the reflex uses nerves from the upper lumbar spinal cord (L1, L2), but also that the sensation has to travel to the brain and back. It is not often used by doctors though, as there are better reflexes to test for.

[@alam1629]

On the contrary, i dont think the cremastric reflex pathway is relayed through the brain. Femoral branch of GFN---> SC--->Genital branch of GFN.

[@waynemanna1402]

I agree. He was very good in UK Formula Ford and in F3 he easily had the wood on James Hunt. Hunt was very, very complimentary about Walker in his biography - he was mystified that a guy who was not just good, but dominant in F3, came across as hopeless in F1. I don't think it is fair, or very knowledgeable, to include Walker with a bunch of drivers who were totally out of their depth in F1. I also think Lance Stroll is, whilst not top drawer, still reasonable and on his day can do a good job.

He's was very competent at his debut and has improved immensely, he just doesn't convince me and I think he's low vibrational and personally, I'd rather not see him him there, I know it's a bad take, but it's how I see him.

[@oxey_]

@@moxenremon3251 I think it's pretty fair, on track it seems like he'll be a 'bottas' at best, but without the finnish humour and always carrying the image of being bought into F1. Perez is there for exactly the same reasons but if you're kinda colourless as well it's not always a good look even though your performances are fine

[@moxenremon3251]

@@oxey_ completely agree, but the real deal is that everyone should be absolutely exceptional; have these Bottas and Strolls and it's extremely bothersome, as they're just warming up seats and the real talented ones get nothing. Personally, I think they all should be championship material, not having a #1 and a #2 to wing the main one out, it makes things extremely boring and predictable, it even kills the sports, I'd say.

The reason they couldn’t overtake him is he was to fast. Check out h8s results in the 7up Jordon. Pole position at Long Beach, which he led for half the race. Should have won at Belgium but the car let him down with a few laps left. Should have won at Monaco but ran out of petrol with a couple of laps left. Stood on the podium a number of times. Loved watching him in all the teams he drove for..which were many. I admit he had backing behind him but he was still a fast driver...sadly killed in a motorcycle crash...I will miss drivers like this in today’s boring f1.
