).Nah. As a technical forum, I think it's probably more important for folks to understand the correlation between speed and engineering.mnmracer wrote:This forum would be so much nicer if discussions were based on things actually said, not imaginedbhallg2k wrote:Turns out the car really is important, eh?mnmracer wrote:Any word on what happened to Vettel?
