Dr. Jekyll

@george yes it’s escalating the force, but what else do you suggest? have the team sleep at the track? or just be OK with being robbed every year, should F1 remove poverty from the entire city?

re cotd, tesla release isn’t really big car industry news, it’s big media news… no other car company can maintain their business by only selling 1000 cars a year without profit, loaded up with a literal ton of […]

@praxis

we already do, fuel flow rate, aero & ground effect restrictions, and control systems could all decrease lap times by huuuge margins

F1 cars are way slower than they could be, if they up the power […]

I don’t agree with him.

seeing Senna slide around, during his insane quali laps, in an overpowerd car with too little grip was a spectacle in itself

aero racing is less of a spectacle to watch for me, until […]

@radoye

actually it looked pretty easy for him, until the Honda went all Honda on him

what’s the nationality participation percentages, I feel it would impact the results massively.

I love the shoulder camera angle, the T-cam is too stable imo and makes the cars seem a lot slower

@john-h
Agree, been calling it the “cinnamon roll” or “sweet roll” since I explained to my SO how weird and uiniqe that section is and she called it that

@mashiat so except from the quali session, you think that Bottas was catchable? (arguably the faster of the mercs on this race day)

vettel pitted, then kimi was left out to cover off ver and in effect ham at […]

how many other cars overtook a mercedes on track today?

yes Kimi wasn’t anything spectacular and didn’t impress, but it’s far from a failure. And in the same spirit, yes Kimi is not the fastest around […]

so in your opinion they could or even should all be driving identical cars

a huge part of f1 is the teams, and it has always been that way

I just can’t get over the fact that all cars look like some gillette 40000 razors, I know the front wings barely weighs anything, but they LOOK like they do

I kinda cringe every slo mo shot of a car running […]

@revelations
I’m sure Button has less insight in the scene to make accurate claims than we do

I’m not saying everything a (ex-)F1 driver says is the objective truth, but in regards to who was tougher to beat, […]

you can find that disconnect in the parking lot sized run off which 15/20 drivers use every race

It’s no a feat to drive on the edge, because there’s no penalty for going over it

re COTD

that pedestal has been buffed and shined since he joined F1

I saw no evidence of that in this case, reacting to it might require some nice reflexes though, as such, well done Ham for not […]

@bosyber ” Kimi only has a flawless one if Seb is not there to get priority.”

I don’t entirely disagree and I’m a huge Rai fanboy, but I have to admit that Kimi has spoiled his own races more than a few times, […]

@jureo

I heard somewhere that NASA hade demand of 99.9999% span of reliability of their parts on the apollo rockets, it’s just that they cointained over 7 million individual parts…

so I agree, bad luck, […]

@liongalahad I mean yeah I like the guy and kinda hope he will win some day, but I question your quote “This is exactly the right mindset for a potential world champion imho. ”

out of the current WDCs how many […]

@xtwl

you are allowed to dislike a brand…

in the same way that you claim that the “prehistoric guys” who don’t like apple cannot accept that “somebody has another preference than their own”, you are not […]

I really hope it doesn’t become apple-mclaren, I feel I would have a hard time keeping them as a favourite team

I’m already struggling with that, and if I’m really honest with myself I think williams has been […]
