THE GRANDEST GRAND PRIX CARS (2024 Goodwood Festival of Speed)

[@daveblock4061]

The Brabham BT46B was not withdrawn so it did not get banned. It was 100% legal as per the FISA. The MP4/4 was NOT the most successful car of all-time until 2023, that record belonged to the Lotus 72 with 20 victories. The MP4/4 has 15. Also, Alain Prost did NOT call the Ferrari 643 'a piece of garbage', he said it as being like a truck to drive. Please report on a sport or activity you actually know something about, leave F1 alone.

@@daveblock4061 Hello, please don’t try to gate-keep a sport just because of some statements some perceive as incorrect. Especially when the arguments are out of context, debatable, or semantics. 1. My *full* statement was: ‘Brabham didn’t want to get banned and Bernie Ecclestone wanted to take over F1.’ The primary reason for the WD was Bernie’s desire to acquire F1 without teams complaining but the legality of the car was still questioned even after the FISA ruling, particularly by Lotus. 2. The 72 did win more races than the MP4/4, but the McLaren had a higher win percentage in its sole year of competition than the Lotus’ 5 seasons. The only reason McLaren didn’t have a 100% clean sweep was because Senna collided with backmarker. It’s probably the most dominant car on pure pace ever seen. (Apart from maybe the 1952 Ferrari 500) 3. Calling a Ferrari F1 car a truck might as well be calling it garbage. Semantics. It’s why he was fired. I am very fond of F1 and just want to talk about some of the greatest cars and drivers it’s ever seen, nothing more. Thanks
