Shell Formula One advert
Anyone else seen the Shell Formula One advert on TV recently? Am in Montreal and doubt that its being shown only up here.
Sorry but its so nice to see the Ferarri with the V-12 engine and the driver actually shifting a gearbox that it really brings back memories.
I am all for progress and new tech but personally I would vote for a return for manual gearboxes to Formula one. Anyone can flip a lever, but it takes an artiste to work a non-syncro gearbox in a race car.
That artiste might win the race because they are a better driver...
