which are just 2 factors in an ocean of many which affect a cars pace but still, pretty cool piece of information

wtf happened to the grimace emote

maidenhead grand prix when

modern pelican
#

The two are completely indistinguishable

#

Well

#

In recent news Haas automation broke sanctions

modern pelican
#

Oop

noble crag
#

well this is very silly

#

racing on floating platforms

#

a pit lane... behind and above the grandstand

modern pelican
#

I’m sure that has no potential to go wrong

noble crag
#

pit lane shortcut, ramp over the grandstand

Verstappen has a stomach bug

#

Leclerc has a penalty

#

This is all leading upto an Alonso win

noble crag
#

F1 22 is currently £8 on steam

modern pelican
#

Damn

modern pelican
#

I do wonder how much of a stellar lap that would’ve been if it was completed

noble crag
#

it'd be the new Singapore 2018

#

in other news, the FIA Have a new absolutely genius new rule

#

all forms of wheeled transport, bicycles included, are banned from track walks

#

along with this yesterday they stopped the normal track walks for a... on track concert

#

causing quite a few drivers to just not bother

#

drivers aren't gonna bother walking 7kilometres round spa

noble crag
noble crag
#

this is gonna be a weekly thing it seems

noble crag
#

lap times already faster then FP1 last year

languid ivy
#

Alonso rocket

noble crag
#

1.30.77 last fp1

#

lando and the ferrari's both multiple new parts

modern pelican
#

Yeah not surprising after the 6 pit stops

#

Also WEC race today 👀

noble crag
#

oo what time?

#

norris black and white flag??

modern pelican
#

Tf??

modern pelican
noble crag
#

#

god sky commentary has been bad today

#

jesus max going even faster

modern pelican
#

Unstoppable force lol

solid kite
#

What if max beats the projected time from ‘21 in quali tomorow

noble crag
#

red bull gonna drive off into the sunset in 1-2

#

unless alonso can split them by turn 1

#

merc are better when it's hot so they'll be worse In the cooler sessions

languid ivy
#

Yeeehaw

#

Go fast

noble crag
#

we might set a new track record here

#

quali 2022 was only 0.7 slower then 2021

#

and in fp1 they were -1.1s faster then 2022

#

"3 laps old tyres"
-0.277 first sector

#

verstappen op pls nerf

#

leclerc reporting power surge

#

hes ALREADY TAKEN PENALTIES

who needs HAM-BOT-VER when you can have VER-PER-ALO

noble crag
#

rawe ceek gang here

modern pelican
#

Oh shit yeah thanks for the reminder

noble crag
#

this year they've dropped free transfers from 3->2

#

hm, is albon -> ocon worth 4 point slash

#

imma flip a coin, albon is heads

#

alpine combo time

modern pelican
#

Here we go rtgameDread

#

I also really need to think of a better name

#

That's better

noble crag
#

aston very good at twisty low speed...

#

god imagine the scenes if alonso wins monaco

#

transferred from a midfield team to a back of the grid team, controlled by a crap father/son duo, car suddenly leapfrogs like 6 teams and takes his first win in a decade

modern pelican
#

That would be something

lavish salmon
#

yearly weekend of hating on Jeddah street circuit

noble crag
#

17 praising the track and country, bottas and tsunoda refusing to comment on safety, hamilton being the only opposition voice

#

When asked to elaborate on his latter comment, Hamilton replied, "well, I didn't elaborate on it, so it's open to interpretation", before adding later "I'm looking forward to getting in the [W14] car, for sure". 

He then stressed "that part of my job I'm excited about", implying he is not satisfied with other elements of working in the Jeddah event given its history, as well as Saudi Arabia's poor record on human rights. ```
noble crag
#

I started f1 22

#

I need a team name

modern pelican
#

Hmmm

#

Im never good with names lol

#

Also we should race together at some point :P

noble crag
#

lemme learn how to drive first

#

so you don't get punted into oblivion

modern pelican
#

Oh ye ofc lol I probably should probably brush up as well

noble crag
#

I hopped into a 5 lap race and jesus the controls are so different

modern pelican
#

Yeaaaahhh

languid ivy
#

What times are quali

#

And fp3

noble crag
#

quali in 4.5h

languid ivy
#

cheers

noble crag
#

There's an f2 sprint race 40mins after fp3 ends

noble crag
#

This is first time at this track

#

That's gonna be a hell of a challenge

#

verstappen new gearbox

modern pelican
#

There seems to be a lot of reliability issues

noble crag
#

get ready for every other race to have half a grid of penalties

#

😭

#

renault is the only PU that hasn't needed a full-pu change so far

languid ivy
#

After RB its a free-for-all

noble crag
#

come on ferrari, strap some softs on

modern pelican
#

They’re saving them for the race again :)

noble crag
#

verstappen only 0.46 slower then last years quali, and temps are significantly lower at quali

#

wew

modern pelican
#

These cars are definitely faster

noble crag
#

he might be faster then the 2021 pole lap here

#

22 pole was a 28.2, 21 was a 27.5

modern pelican
#

Jeez

languid ivy
#

FERRARIS OUT

noble crag
#

(Though 21 would have been significantly faster if not for... yeah)

#

come on leclerc

modern pelican
#

Im still sad about that quali. That was looking like such a good lap

noble crag
#

be SPEEDY

#

that is not a speedy

#

+0.535 in sector 1

#

jesus

modern pelican
#

10th overall….

#

They must have the engines down

#

If this is their true pace that is bad

noble crag
#

reminder, 40mins then F2 Sprint

modern pelican
#

Ooo yeah

noble crag
#

dont think anyones challenging red bull front row

modern pelican
#

Yeah unless there’s some sort of unreliability

noble crag
#

@modern pelicangod the f1 22 handling model is so shit

#

full TC you just... get incredible weak acceleration from corners

#

medium TC, the slightest thing sending you going spinbala

#

i get why everyones complained about it for the past year now 😭

modern pelican
#

Yeah traction is really bad till you get used to it

#

I run medium traction

noble crag
#

Full TC just, is not worth it, its too slow

#

so im painfully learning medium

#

and flashbacking tiwce a lap

#

what is a tyre life

modern pelican
#

Seems fine

noble crag
modern pelican
#

Omg Verstappen needs to chill

noble crag
#

formula 2 took 1 sector to be a red bull (junior) 1-2

modern pelican
#

Pffft

noble crag

Yuuuup

noble crag
#

god imagine what martins was thinking

#

this is incredible racing

modern pelican
#

It’s amazing

noble crag
#

very variable predictions

modern pelican
#

Hm yes

#

VER PER ALO is very quickly becoming the new HAM BOT VER

languid ivy
#

WEVE STOLEN COULTHARD AGAIN

noble crag
#

:(

languid ivy
#

I think.. i think ham (accidentally) shoved a cameraman

modern pelican
#

10 second penalty for causing a collision smh

noble crag
#

spam refreshes twitter

languid ivy
#

They cut to a view of ham but the view was shaky and ham was "running" away

#

It just looked funny

noble crag
#

VER / PER / ALO / LEC / STR is my top 5

languid ivy
#

Stroll, we spicy

noble crag
#

i think that aston is either 2nd or 3rd best car this weekend

#

maybe sainz p5

mental cedar
#

ocon p5 hmm

#

lol

noble crag
#

2022 pole - 1.28.200

That Ferrari has gone to shit

MERICA!!!

Something is definitely up with that Ferrari tho

noble crag
#

god damn the traffic

mental cedar
#

wtf ferrari

modern pelican
#

Have they had to turn down the engine for reliability?

noble crag
#

what happened to lando's lap??

#

my screen froze and i just saw him entering pits

modern pelican
#

Hit the wall

noble crag
#

#

oh damn

#

ooooh

modern pelican
#

Not massively but ye

noble crag
#

#

WHY STROLL SO SLOW

modern pelican
languid ivy
#

SERGEANT TOLD TRACKLIMITS ON 27

#

THERE ARE NO TRACKLIMITS

modern pelican
#

Annnnd he spun

noble crag
#

ohgod

#

he's enough time for 1 more lap

languid ivy
#

Barely

noble crag
#

Welp lando out

modern pelican
#

Yup 😔

languid ivy
#

I honestly cant see where Sargeant went out

#

To have his time deleted

modern pelican
#

Yeah no

noble crag
#

...they have a different rule for one specific corner

modern pelican
#

Yellow?

noble crag
#

what a nightmare for williams

modern pelican
#

Yeah….

#

Ferrari seem better but still not great

noble crag
#

people have been hyping alpine up all week

#

for p11/14

modern pelican
#

Lol

noble crag
#

sargeant onboard

#

his car is being pushed away by marshalls

#

😭

modern pelican
#

Oof

noble crag
#

piastri q3 🤞

modern pelican
#

It could well happen 👀

mental cedar
#

did sargeant cross the pitlane entry line

#

in the lap where he got his time deleted

noble crag
#

oh pit entry, according to Vowles

#

ffs

modern pelican
#

God sake

noble crag
#

lando had purple mini's....

modern pelican
#

Ooof

noble crag
#

VERSTAPPEN ENGINE

modern pelican
#

Oh shit

noble crag
modern pelican
#

Alonso could actually get a pole here….

noble crag
#

perez 0.12 behind alonso

#

alonso on new, perez used

#

hulk lap gone 😭

#

why are ALL the cars broken this year

modern pelican
#

Yeah what the hell has happened

#

Wonder if that’s gonna be a new gearbox again

noble crag
#

that'd be his last gearbox of the season

#

lmao

mental cedar
#

spicy

noble crag
#

the amount of penalties this season will be massive

mental cedar
#

sainz calm down theres no gravel in jeddah

modern pelican
#

Is the Bahrain curse starting lol

noble crag
#

why sainz so slow

modern pelican
#

Alonso could actually get pole today…

noble crag
#

does sainz have another lap of fuel

modern pelican
#

Yeah

#

Piastri Q3 GGs

noble crag
#

4 / 5 of my fantasy into q3

#

nicely done piastri

modern pelican
#

Mine is crying

noble crag
#

90% of people with verstappen DRS are crying

#

but we get points for overtakes this season at least

modern pelican
#

Right put your bets in now you think verstappen wins from 15th?

mental cedar
#

ive lost sargeant and max

noble crag
#

only 2nd ever time norris has been out in q1

modern pelican
noble crag
#

lmao paul monaghan (RB Chief Engineer) shouting "DO YOU MIND" at a cameraman and shoving past him

#

amazing

modern pelican
#

Lol

#

I genuinely can’t tell who’s gonna get this

#

I think either Alonso or Perez

noble crag
#

imo perez squeaks past

modern pelican
#

Piastri pole out of nowhere

noble crag
#

yknow how ferrari last year was forced to run greatly reduced engine for reliability last year

#

I wonder if all the teams were doing that to an extent, and have tried to turn it up

modern pelican
#

Yeah…

#

It’s odd

noble crag
#

and are all getting burned (except renault)

#

Engine freeze is in force so they haven't been improving the engines

#

so god knows how it could have worsened reliability

#

oh you get 4, not 3

#

max was reporting shifting issues through practice

#

...as was ferrari

modern pelican
#

Last time someone won from 15th was crashgate rtgameDread

mental cedar
noble crag
#

come on alonso

#

that is an aggressive pit entry lane

#

mercedes pace outta nowhere??

modern pelican
#

Im happy for piastri

noble crag
#

piastri hit the wall too 👀👀

modern pelican
#

Oof bad start of that lap

noble crag
#

thats fucked sainz's lap

#

hopefully he has fuel to coast then go again

#

"is that blocking" it's just bad track design

#

nothing much he could do

modern pelican
#

STROLL PURPLE

mental cedar
#

what happened in s3 stroll

noble crag
#

Piastri starting 8th, very nice effort

modern pelican
#

Well… I think this might be interesting

noble crag
#

alonso bottled that q3 lap

#

pretty sure it was slower then his q2

#

ol reliable

modern pelican
#

Yeah wtf is up with Perez at street circuits lol

#

Okay get your predictions in now, who’s gonna win

noble crag
#

i believe in el plan

modern pelican
#

I kinda want Perez to get the win as payback for last year when he lost out due to the sc

mental cedar
#

well, it is jeddah

noble crag
#

the 20lap f2 race had 2 safety cars

#

if thats anything to go by, its gonna be chaos

mental cedar
#

this track always provides

noble crag
#

yeah

#

it is a very exciting track

#

shame about gestures vaguely to host country

#

gestures vaguely to health and safety

modern pelican
#

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh

noble crag
#

@modern pelican

#

piastri +0.02 on lewis

#

how da fuq

modern pelican
#

Jesus

noble crag
#

just as close in q2 and q1

modern pelican
#

So Piastri will start p7 tomorrow right?

noble crag
#

p8

modern pelican
#

Oh yeah

noble crag
#

or do you know something we dont

#

👀👀

modern pelican
#

Can confirm overnight Sainz is gonna take a penalty

#

(If that somehow comes true I will laugh so much I stg)

#

Waaaaiiiit I've just realised smth Verstappen had a stomach bug and now his drive shaft died. I think there's some sabotage happening here lol

noble crag
#

"daniel what are you doing with the screwdriver"

modern pelican
#

Just trying to cause drama so he can get a seat

noble crag

#

Schumi op pls nerf

modern pelican

Jeez

#

Who qualified where?

noble crag

#

Wouldn’t front row be per alo?

#

Since lec has a penalty?

noble crag
#

After penalty yeah

solid kite
#

Also wtf happened to max

noble crag
#

Transmission died in q2

#

Norris hit the wall, hence going out q1

solid kite
#

Was gonna say

noble crag
#

Sergeant would be q2 but got lap deleted

solid kite
#

Why’s he 15th if he died Q3?

#

Smh

noble crag
#

verstappens q1 lap would have been good enough for 4th

#

Perez only got 1 lap in q3, fucked up his first lap

#

if max got through he could have gone 0.5+ faster

solid kite
#

Bruh I’ve just seen the best comment on insta, some guy was saying he hopes max dnf’s and a guy replied “I hope you get shampoo in your eyes when you shower”

noble crag
#

ChatGPT loves being confidently wrong

noble crag
#

@modern pelican finished my first f122 my team race

#

finished p14, not bad off a p22 quali

#

had a formation lap glitch

#

12 drivers got DSQd

#

Then got un-disqualified

modern pelican
#

Already getting glitches lol

noble crag
#

I completely lost it laughing

#

30second long pause (bye bye tyre temp)

#

then

modern pelican
#

Yeah lmao that's a funny one

noble crag
#

"Max verstappen has been disqualified"

#

"Charles leclerc has been disqualified"

#

etc.

modern pelican
#

Have you ever seen the Baku and Canada walls of death

noble crag
#

oh god yeah

modern pelican
#

Happened to me in Canada and a car behind we got flung

noble crag
#

the traction is frustrating but god it felt good when I got hooked up

modern pelican
#

Yeee

#

It's really rewarding when done right

noble crag
#

except turn 10 which murdered me in like 50% of laps

#

problem is if your wheel dips off the kurb to the outside, it locks it, aaaand s🅱️inballa

modern pelican
#

Ah yeah turn 10 is a horrid one

mental cedar
maiden prism
mental cedar
#

56 points huh

#

not bad for having my 2x on max screw me up

#

still, a sunday to go

#

to be fair no one in this servers league had a good saturday judging by how p1 is at 60 points

noble crag
#

pretty sure everyone had 2x max

noble crag
#

Verstappen only broke the transmission part, that's a repairable part

#

he'll probably use gearbox 3 in the race today, but they can take GB2 back to the factory and fix it

modern pelican
#

I still think Danny Ric is causing chaos to get a seat

noble crag
#

imo, whoever leads lap 1 (per/alo) wins the race

#

verstappen 2nd

#

other of the front row comes 3rd

#

my spicy hot take

modern pelican
#

I wonder how chaotic it’s gonna be

mental cedar
#

great guy, him

modern pelican
#

Maybe….

Ngl, i feel unless it’s something particularly egregious they shouldn’t change the podium after the race

mental cedar
#

can they speed up the fucking process

solid kite
noble crag
#

problem is, then you get allegations of intentionally slowing down

solid kite
#

Investigate that shit during the race for once

noble crag
#

Or a last lap crash

#

And sometimes they need access to data they can't get mid race

#

Though... this isn't one of those cases

#

It's entirely decided by the camera feed, pretty simple, was the jack touching or not

#

why they didn't sort it out in the race is beyond me

modern pelican
#

Can’t wait to get up at 6am to watch next race :)

Don’t wait until after the fucking race you morons

modern pelican

There was so much time to give it

#

Can we just disband the FIA altogether please?

#

Bruh how tf does making contact constitute working on the car???

#

That’s not working on the car

noble crag
#

ehh

#

Rules are rules

#

It trakes an amount of time to go from not touching to touching

mental cedar
#

you french idiots

#

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

noble crag
#

if you allow "non beneficial touching" then you have to draw a subjective line every race

#

which is what we wanna avoid

#

but god how badly was this managed

#

Why is Rosberg singing Russell’s praises

He didn’t do anything special

Rosberg really sucking up to Russell huh

noble crag
#

took them almost an hour to look at a camera feed

#

while watching I thought "that jack looks off"

solid kite
#

God damn the FIA are useless

noble crag
#

does NOBODY from the FIA think to check these things

#

Like, just have a couple dudes monitoring the stop

#

theres 1 penalty in the whole race

solid kite
#

What is with the FIA and fucking things up after the race?

#

2nd time Aston have been screwed out of a podium

noble crag
solid kite
#

Fucking FIA

#

Make the decision on track or don’t make it at all

languid ivy
#

MaFIA back (without mercedes)

#

Just an actual mafia at this point

noble crag
#

I don't think it was rigged

solid kite
#

If you wait until after the race what is the damn point

#

Make it on track or don’t make the decision imo

noble crag
#

This doesn't shout "Intentionally helping Mercedes" it just shouts "We don't know what we're doing"

solid kite
#

Dude, here’s a radical take, if it takes you until after a race to decide if someone made a mistake or not then maybe you shouldn’t be doing that job

#

Like that’s just ridiculous

noble crag
#

F1s own website didn't get the memo

solid kite
#

Good

#

Thank you f1 website

modern pelican
#

I say we should do a Vettel in Canada and class it as a podium anyways lol

solid kite
#

F1 Website sticking to the truth

#

I’m gonna be honest here tho

#

Unless it’s somethings that is clear cut fault then it shouldn’t be penalised after the race has ended

#

Penalise then for next race or something

#

But taking a podium from a team because you take 30 odd laps to decide if they started work early is embarrassing for the FIA

modern pelican
#

The decision really should of been made earlier. They either did or they didn’t touch the car

solid kite
#

It doesn’t take 30 ish laps to figure something like that out

#

Don’t they have overhead cameras in the pit boxes as well?

noble crag
#

I think most likely is, they didn't see it

#

for some god knows reason the commentators saw it, mercedes saw it, the FIA didn't see it

#

then didn't even statt investigating till multiple laps after mercedes said it to Russell on radio

#

lap 45/46 or so

solid kite
#

So let me get this straight, they only started investigating at the behest of merc complaining.

#

What’s next?

#

They’re gonna penalise someone for breathing near the car during a penalty?

#

The FIA need to define what is and isn’t working on a car

#

Removing parts/wings=working on car
Putting jacks in place =/= working on car

noble crag
#

I assume

#

Mercedes didn't do anything wrong here

#

either a protest, OR they heard it mentioned to Russell and realised they fucked up

#

The lack of transparency doesn't help

noble crag
solid kite
noble crag
#

agreed

#

its just so very silly

#

and it completely overshadows the race

#

admittedly, not a whole lot of race to overshadow

#

also, good for alonso

#

dust settles on yet another FIA mishap

noble crag
#
  1. watching the #SaudiArabianGP with multi viewer I got to see something I think other people might have missed: Red Bull told BOTH drivers to target 1:33.00 lap times, and Max out and out ignored it, while Checo listened for a few laps, saw Max was catching him, questioned
  1. if he was being told a different target then max (which was the bit of audio that was played on the broadcast) and then when Max continued to ignore the target delta, the team cleared Checo to push. This is a repeated pattern, and I expect it to continue throughout the season.

Just finished the race

#

haha what the fuck

maiden prism
#

Idk if it was mentioned already but the FIA ruling on the reinstatement was apparently because they were shown footage of 7 other instances of pit members touching the car with their jacks whilst serving penalties and not being penalized for it

Somebody pulled receipts lmao

# languid ivy What does this mean?

Stuff like being able to get on the throttle earlier without spinning out. Like using traction control without the RPM penalty, therefore making the driver using grip hacks faster than the other drivers who aren’t cheating

languid ivy

Ah

rich geyser
#

Thomas Ronhaar is being accused of using cheats, and people think he is using grip hacks

But the 70% of esports drivers using cheats stuff could ruin esports sim racing
