Damn right – epic is the perfect word to describe this track. He might struggle for pace a little bit with no testing or prep, but he will absolutely love every minute. Where can we watch FP1?
I’m gutted for […]

I think there’s plenty of scope for adding a few small holes, as holes can actually act as a crack stopper as they increase the radius of the crack front. Sure, it would weaken it compared to a solid screen, but […]

I timed it, and it took 89 seconds between the TV showing Max’s spin and the safety car being called.

Yes, I timed it, and between Max’s spin appearing on TV and the safety car being called, Masi twiddled his thumbs for 89 seconds… What the heck was he doing for all that time? Just call a VSC and then think […]

Leclerc even had to be told over the radio that ‘we are still racing’, to which he replied’ That’s a joke, that’s a… joke… Safety car right away, right away. Why are we still racing.

I’ve timed it, and it took race control 89 seconds between the TV showing Max spinnning and them upgrading from a local yellow flag to a safety car. For the first 40 seconds, they had 14 cars passing at […]

Although at the time I pointed out the potential option of introducing this Indycar rule, I think perhaps Formula E’s rule is better, in which the session is extended only for the drivers impeded by the flag to […]

That’s a fair counter-argument. I guess although the result isn’t very fair, the incident has also helped randomly shake up the order a bit, setting up a good race. F1 needs a little randomising, as the teams have […]

If F1 ever watched Indycar races, they’d know they have a rule which prevents this situation (and also prevents drivers crashing on purpose, like Schumacher and Rosberg, but not Leclerc today). In Indycar q […]

It was a shame De Vries seemingly broke down near the end, as he had about 1/3 more energy than the tightly spaced pack ahead of him with 6 minutes to go. It would have been interesting to see if he could have […]

This is a good guide to setting up Assetto Corsa, which benefits massively from the mod scene:

That is wrong. Norris left Hamilton almost 1 metre more room than Bottas left Russell. You can see this by looking at their positions relative to the pit lane line. And a driver is not entitled to blindly follow […]

Those kWh values were measured just before the restart (and energy reduction), and just afterwards. So just seconds apart.

I wanted to add that my mistake stemmed from how unintuitive it is that the TV graphics […]

Annoyingly, my post on the other news article claiming a % calculation error had a flaw in its hypothesis, so I’ve retracted it. Sorry about that.

Thanks SaMa. That’s put my mind at ease, and I just have to live with the embarrassment of being publicly shown to be probably wrong! I might still be right, but your hypothesis checks out, and your subsequent […]

That was not the problem. My post explained what the problem was.
The rule is a good one, as it fixed a problem experienced in previous races where safety cars caused the latter half of the race to be run flat […]

If they had applied your principle (and calculated it correctly), then all it would mean was that the teams would just have to run the race a bit slower to save energy.

My analysis showed that the % reduction […]

I think I understand better what happened than everyone except possibly Scot Elkins, the race director, or whoever does the safety car energy reduction calculations, because they made a mistake and are trying to […]

I watched Lando’s disallowed qualifying lap on the red button onboard channel, and it was just sublime, particularly the first sector. I was very upset that the main coverage failed to show it, so am very glad […]

I’d like to see any and all of Codemasters’ PC games add proper support for triple screens. Sometimes called projection correction, this renders the side screens’ views independently, taking into account the angle […]
