Yeah your right, it's the "hanging on edge" that makes them look faster. The newer cars look like there glued to the track and to answer the question, yes I would like to see more agression required to drive them.Moose wrote:Heh, which further cements my point - the 2014 car demolishes the 2001 one through the high downforce section. It carries far more speed through the corners.hollus wrote:@Emmcee:
If you thought that lap from Alesi was fast, this one will make you fall from your chair (you might need to reload once or twice to get the synchronization right):

Again - what people liked watching was not people carrying speed through the corners - it was the cars looking on the verge of spinning out of control, and the driver actually having to do something to catch it.
You guys are missing the point here. No one said "the 2014/15 cars are the fastest F1 cars ever". You don't need to drag up 2004 cars, and circuits that favour them. We know the 2004 cars were monsters.Just watch this then. Schumacher 2004 vs Hamilton 2015 Australia comparison lap. At then end, Hamilton is turning into the second last corner while Schumi is already halfway down the straight. This NA v10 vs turbo 6
The point is that watching that 2001 lap and saying "wow, he carries speed through the corners, I wish modern F1 was like that" is bullshit. As you can plainly see, modern F1 cars carry more speed through the corners than Alesi's 2001 Jordan (or the 2001 McLaren for that matter). The thing people are wishing for is the driver having to do spectacular things to keep the car on the track, not cars that are faster through the corners.
