I guess we just see different things happening in the footage @f1osaurus and in some way yeah he did get the penalty for ending up where he did, if not for the freak bump and hop it would have been banged wheels […]

Seems utterly bonkers to me, purely accidental that Verstappen’s car got launched, without that it would have been wheels bumping and nothing more.

My biggest reservation is that these rules essentially hedge the bets: let’s establish parameters that allow for closer racing, but let’s keep DRS in case they don’t… and then what? Let’s say these cars […]

@balue when some poor brown people gets slaughtered or are suffering in some poor country

Right, so basically you feel your idea of what constitutes a critical mass of racism important enough to call racist is […]

So I guess you’re so old you remember the time before Jesse Owens ran at the Nazi-hosted olympics in 1936… and yeah man, I’m so tired of being force-fed rainbows, I mean who are these people to be spreading a […]

Can’t help but feel like people are over-rating this one. Personally DRS is slowly draining my interest in F1. I just don’t find even a late-race pass for the lead exciting when it’s basically artificial. I don’t […]

So thus far, of the big names that have moved into new teams, Vettel is actually doing better than the others in relation to his teammate, which is quite a surprise to me.

DRS continues to detract from proper racing 5/10

So this is interesting: Bell Media, which owns F1 broadcast rights in Canada, have bought the race promoter company for the race as well https://www.lapresse.ca/affaires/2021-04-30/bell-devient-le-promoteur-du-grand-prix.php

I second that emotion @ferrox-glideh

You may have missed the news about a pandemic. There’s this virus, see, and… ah, just google it.

@keithcollantine looks like the Canadian gp is definitively off, but that F1 has committed to come back through 2031 https://www.lapresse.ca/sports/course-automobile/2021-04-28/formule-1/le-grand-prix-du-canada-annule.php

This prtetty much sums it up.

I’m glad the ‘Perez is no more than a mid-field driver’ crowd are getting their first helping of crow – there might be plenty to go around the rest of the season too.

Surely all the collective engineering brain power in the sport could come up with some sort of surface or combination of surfaces that slows cars down outside track limits without ending their race. Maybe […]

My reaction exactly

This article’s in French, but latest seems to be that the federal, provincial, and city authorities are playing hot potato with no one wanting to take on the responsibility of giving the green light. Btw, Montreal […]

Looks like the Canadian GP is officially cancelled @keithcollantine https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/canadian-grand-prix-f1-montreal-cancelled-1.5988769

Clearly it is a negative, not a positive. I’ve said this many a time: I’m no aerodynamicist, but I’ve yet to hear a convincing explanation as to why front wings can’t simply be brought back to smaller widths, […]
