... Formula E Champ a washout in F1 ~

What a surprise... You found yet another new way to "prove" that EV is bad... So what's your incentive? Do you get a bonus if you post enough anti-EV stuff online every week? You sure do work hard at promoting all that is great and good about fossil fools.

I mean I'm sure Exxon and Gazprom would happy to pay you for your services if you aren't yet being compensated for all of us laughing at your foolish posts on here.

 

i actually agree. now that i have had the plug in for 11 years, i can't go back to hybrid or gasser.
next up, either another phev or a bev

 

That's not a good way to help when it comes to @asjoseph earning his fossil fool industry bonus $s. Quite the opposite really.

 

I can well imagine ....

 

Lol... First car I ever owned in my name was a Mazada RX7 Wankel and the only issue I knew as an overly aggressive late stage teenager is that you didn't know the engine RPM based on vibration and it was easy to redline the engine and not know it.

Also with no back seats the rear wheels were less than 2 feet from your butt and when the back end slid out on corners countersteering to get it back could kill you real quick if you weren't subtle about it, which has saved me in icy conditions in all the cars I've driven since.

Of course when it comes to @asjoseph I bet he's lying about racing cars with Wankel engines because he doesn't even know how to spell the word.

 

I thought he meant wanker

 

Yea...

 

Powerful habits, those, but not so very peculiar, really.

 

Not so peculiar

 

Really

 

.... like being unable to spell the thing you're talking about?

 

We just figured he was talking about a different thing.

 

I understand that, while several drivers have moved successfully from F1 to NASCAR, NASCAR champions who moved to F1 mostly failed.

If de Vries' failure to do well in F1 after Formula E means electric cars are terrible, does this mean by extension that American cars are terrible?

Or, you know, could it be that it's a different skill set and it has nothing to do with which kind of car is better?

 

oops...

 

?

 

Comparing NASCAR with F1 is like comparing olympic wrestling with an MMA cage match on the ground, and American Football with Soccer at the fan level.
They're two different things, for two different fan bases.

One important but probably uncomfortable difference for race fans is that American (real) football is not as popular globally but much MORE so locally than it's less entertaining competitor.
NASCAR or "Non-Athletic Sport Created by Alcohol and Rednecks" is still much more popular than F1 locally, but those numbers are changing.
FAST.
I blame the wussification of the American male for both but that's an outsider's opinion.
Since I'm neither a fan of motor racing nor either kind of football I cannot offer an educated opinion from a fan perspective.
I have 2 living and one dead relative who raced 'professionally' (NON profitably) and I have one relative by marriage that owns a 'last year's" NASCAR car although I have no seat time in the latter due to the lack of a proper venue and time constraints.

 

Exactly.

So like comparing Formula 1 with Formula E, then.

It's not that one is better than the other; they're completely different and that's why the OP's post is stupid.

 

and for many other reasons
