1000% should be Marc but F1s popularity will probably put 2, maybe all 3 F1 drivers above him.

@patinaresearch I know people dog on the S55 because it sounds like ass without a single midpipe, has crankhub issues, and doesn’t play well once you get past the 600 hp mark but man they put it in the prettiest M3 of them all

If BMW hadn’t screwed the pooch then according to my calculations the G80 would have been a high revving ITB powered V10 M3. Let’s look at the progression • E30 M3 (S14B23) 2.3L high revving inline four with individual throttle bodies. A true motorsport derived engine revving to around 7,300 RPM. • E36 M3 (S50B30 and S50B32 in Europe) 3.0L and later 3.2L high revving inline six with ITBs in the Euro models. U.S. models received the non ITB S50 and S52. Euro cars revved to roughly 7,600 to 8,000 RPM. • E46 M3 (S54B32) 3.2L high revving inline six with ITBs. Widely regarded as one of BMW’s finest engines with an 8,000 RPM redline. • E92 M3 (S65B40) 4.0L high revving V8 with ITBs. A race inspired engine derived from the F1 era V10 S85 architecture revving to 8,400 RPM. • F80 M3 (S55B30) 3.0L twin turbo inline six. Efficient and fast but lacking the soul linear powerband and sound of its predecessors. No ITBs and a 7,600 RPM redline. • G80 M3 (S58B30) 3.0L twin turbo inline six. An improved S55 with better response sound and strength but still turbocharged and without ITBs. Revs to 7,200 RPM. If only they had continued the progression…

@f80sarentcool Doesn’t matter because a B8.5 is better anyways

DTM

@KensethFan17_20 It’s a love/hate relationship, f chassis is the only one where the 4 door looks better but they are very temperamental

@f80sarentcool I never would’ve guessed you preferred the E92 Mr. f80sarentcool

@PitStopHoney @king_despi @autosport “One of the most dominant cars ever in F1” found the dts fan 😭

@king_despi @autosport What’s Max’s preference got to do with anything you muppet? Again, I repeat, the list is about who were the best drivers this year. Your boy won by 2 points in one of the most dominant cars ever in F1. Max showed him whose boss in inferior machinery. There are levels to this.

The annual Autosport Top 50 is now LIVE! 🚨 Here's how the Top 10 drivers of 2025 look 👀 The full list: autosport.com/topic/top-50-d…

@javakarcs @cytrusf1 Because calling out China doesn’t get them virtue signaling internet points. Also would be bad for them trying to get their little trinkets for cheap off of alibaba.

@cytrusf1 As asian it's very funny for me How western liberals don't ever point out china for being wrong in so many things Yet they expect west to be the best and never make mistakes

I LOVE how people would lose their minds if they took that selfie, but when Lewis Hamilton had a logo of a company that literally supported war crimes on every pic for the past 10 years, no one cared

@Roberto_CL16 @NotFifthGear It was already popular. Yes it brought new fans, but it’s done more harm than good. Lots of “casual” fans that leave the sport after the hype has died (like nascar in the 2000s), extending the season, new tracks that suck and abandoning good ones, soaring ticket prices, etc.

@f80sarentcool @NotFifthGear By making it popular mate, audience was shit before, it also brought a lot of new fans that buy merch so even financially it’s never been better for the sport

"F1 before it became a trend" > Looks inside > 2018

@Roberto_CL16 @NotFifthGear In what way? This is not remotely true

@NotFifthGear People need to understand that DTS, as bad as it is, saved F1

@cytrusf1 Also faster than yuki and hadjar…

Why is Christian Horner faster than Sergio Perez

@ErupticHD @NotFifthGear Verstappen has shown he can have pace in an endurance car, even if it wasn’t a top series like IMSA or WEC. Russell and Leclerc almost certainly would not be winning in sports cars. All three of them get dog walked on an oval

@NotFifthGear Also I agree that some F1 drivers stroll, Doohan, Colapinto etc. Are not F1 material and just got there from paying or sucking off but the top F1 drivers that get paid the big bucks the Max Verstappens, maybe Russell, maybe Leclerc can beat almost any other driver in all series

Laura Muller with probably the most accurate take on how racing drivers are evaluated nowadays. That's my goat right there

@SGCameronn @NotFifthGear This has to be rage bait

@NotFifthGear the f1 drivers from the top 3 teams in f1 are the best drivers in the world. the other 7 teams of drivers are somewhat replaceable by any other driver from other major catagories.

@patinaresearch Nurburgring lap times are the equivalent of just watching box scores and not the actual game. If the car is quick and fun to drive who cares about a lap time

@cytrusf1 Oh boy not the pinnacle of Motorsport tagline again

He said it, not me
