these cars may have been a mistake but that doesn't mean they were not memorable although they were larger and heavier than the nimble vNUMBER_TOKEN powered cars of the early years of the NUMBER_TOKENst century and therefore a little lazier on turning they were also amazingly quick but barely a race or qualifying session passed by without drivers complaining about how difficult it was to follow another car or to overtake not to mention the problems caused by the temperature-sensitive pirelli tyres that usually made it impossible to push hard through a long stint but while these machines require too much management in qualifying or on an all-out attack lap in the race they were spectacular no wonder the drivers will miss them how much they do so will likely depend on the big question of how quick or slow the NUMBER_TOKEN cars will be compared to the last generation they are heavier simplified aerodynamically and with far more prescriptive rules meaning the lap time deficit was expected to be large but recently there have been suggestions that the gap could be negligible for cars that are expected to have a little less downforce in slower corners but potentially more in fast ones thanks to the ground effect venturis down each side of the car fNUMBER_TOKEN's pat simmons has suggested that the cars might only be half a second slower something we delved into in a recent video the feeling in the paddock is that it's a question of when rather than if the next generation of cars get to a similar level to the NUMBER_TOKEN machines and in time perhaps they could even match or eclipse the NUMBER_TOKEN cars but whatever happens the NUMBER_TOKEN to NUMBER_TOKEN fNUMBER_TOKEN cars will be fondly remembered by fans and drivers as the quickest overlap ever seen in grand prix racing let us know in the comments what your best memories are of this period of fNUMBER_TOKEN and don't forget to like and subscribe
