When the halo was brought in, nobody was discussing whether it would favour one team or another. Here, it’s all anyone is discussing. I don’t think the fact that someone acknowledged that is proof of anything but […]
drmouse commented on the post, Perez drops nine places on grid after losing lap times over track limits breach 1 month ago
That’s what I thought, too. Surely Perez and Red Bull, with all the data available to them, knew that he’d exceeded track limits. If so, they knew he should not have progressed to Q3, so their waste of tyres was […]

What other people get from my response, or lack thereof, is beyond my control.
This is like saying “I’m great at communicating, everyone just sucks at listening”.
If you know that something will be inferred […]
drmouse commented on the post, Piquet gets F1 paddock ban after apologising to Hamilton but denying use of racial slur 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Precisely. This comes across as “I’m sorry you were offended, but I didn’t do anything offensive so you are just misunderstanding me and it’s all your fault”. It isn’t a real apology.

Nobody is unsafe because of some word the big bad nasty man said 7 months earlier
I would ask you to talk to people from different backgrounds before making sweeping statements like this.
Firstly, many I […]

Unfortunately, right-wing and far-right have ended up with multiple meanings, as have left-wing and far-left.
Economically, in its original meaning, BoJo and the current government are to the left of Thatcher […]

By the standards of the time, I agree that the previous generation were probably no more racist than the present.
However, standards have changed, and not all from previous generations have accepted that […]

Firstly, that seems in direct contradiction to the opinion of many Max fans when Lewis went offline between last season and this. I won’t say that I’m certain that you were one of those calling him out on it, and […]
drmouse commented on the post, FIA's porpoising response could 'completely change the pecking order' in F1 1 month, 3 weeks ago
Highly unlikely. The changes outlined are more likely to negatively affect Mercedes than any other team.
In fact, these changes look most likely to benefit RBR, as they are exhibiting one of the least amounts […]
drmouse commented on the post, FIA's porpoising response could 'completely change the pecking order' in F1 1 month, 3 weeks ago
Let say every 2000 vibration that exceed 6mm are equal to 0.5 second time penalty.
Given they are looking at limiting acceleration, not displacement, this is unlikely.
More likely is that they place an upper […]
drmouse commented on the post, FIA issues new technical directive to reduce 'porpoising' on safety grounds 1 month, 3 weeks ago
Actually, it’s targeting vertical acceleration, not travel. Larger amplitude doesn’t mean higher acceleration if the frequency is lower. The London Eye has a much larger amplitude than most rollercoasters…
drmouse commented on the post, Red Bull's 'no fighting' instruction to Perez 'wasn't team orders' – Horner 2 months ago
I’m not certain looking at the place difference after the pass is the right thing to do. I strongly doubt that, even if Perez had ended up lapping faster afterwards, the team would have made the same call in his […]
drmouse commented on the post, Could F1's budget cap impasse tip the balance in the title fight? 2 months ago
You’re not wrong. A large part of the development costs are staffing. Even entirely stopping the development of the car will achieve little in the way of savings if they continue to pay for the staff who would […]
drmouse commented on the post, Could F1's budget cap impasse tip the balance in the title fight? 2 months ago
The smaller teams do not HAVE the money to spend more (they are not operating at the budget cap), regardless of the cap.
Precisely.
As with the post above, I would suggest a punitive redistribution. […]
drmouse commented on the post, Information overload? Which motorsport series has the most effective TV graphics package? 2 months ago
I’ve seen it stay for several laps, and it only takes a few seconds at most to scan down the list to see who is doing what. If it needs to be there longer, why not put it alongside the gaps, or alternate?
drmouse commented on the post, Information overload? Which motorsport series has the most effective TV graphics package? 2 months ago
Feedback from such information-devoid broadcasting would inevitably influence and alter their direction decisions eventually.
Anecdotally from my previous discussions with fans, the feedback they would be most […]
drmouse commented on the post, Information overload? Which motorsport series has the most effective TV graphics package? 2 months ago
When I go to the track for F1, it’s a completely different situation. I enjoy the racing less, to be honest, as I see much less of it and it is hard to follow when you can only see one small section of track, but […]

The Sky Sports bias that is constantly pushed doesn’t help either. Yes, it’s the British coverage and there’s nothing wrong at all with supporting your compatriot, but Sky is the WORLD broadcaster. It really shoul […]
drmouse commented on the post, Analysis: Has Hamilton's slow start to 2022 been as bad as it seems? 2 months ago
But it’s fair to say, that if the car ends up been a midfield bus, then Russell will get more points – that’s simply because he’s far more used to been down amongst the also-rans, so has less negativity about t […]

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but mine is the complete opposite to yours. More data made the races more enjoyable for me. I used to sit with my laptop, tablet and phone all showing different data from the […]
