You have some strong opinions about them

#

here's hoping

pale bridge
#

Palou is such an NPC, if he'd been a good boy and not axed that McLaren contract, IndyCar wouldn't be the dull mess it is now, and they say they're not "stuck in the 90s"

glacial pine
#

They're gonna want an American... But who? I don't follow anything American to even guess

pale bridge
#

If I had IndyCar drivers in my consideration list of who should drive for Cadillac, Palou wouldn't be on it, there's lots of drivers who are bigger priorities to me than Palou

glacial pine
#

Oh my god I forgot Logan

severe spindle
#

I wonder if he'll return

#

Piece gasleeeeeeeeey

Piss gassy

#

Gasly is too busy glazing his team and running into the back of his former teammate, his credibility is in shreds, that Gasly we saw win Monza 2020 isn't there anymore

Pee air gassy

Meanwhile Colapinto is going nowhere fast, and trashing the car again, the repair bills are going to be literal phone numbers

Missed this move on TV

@pale tinsel YOU NEED TO SEE THIS

#

Chicken Little lookalike Tom Bellingham believes it's "time we let go of Monaco", F1 isn't abandoning Monaco anytime soon
And F1 won't go back to overrated tracks like Hockenheim or Sepang
You can't call yourself a "traditionalist" and want Monaco out

glacial pine
#

Formula E loves a well timed tweet

#

Their secret is small cars with complicated braking, long braking zones, and easy mistakes to make on corner exit

#

I hope F1 never abandons Monaco, It's too amazing watching the fastest cars around such a tiny course

pale bridge
#

Controversially and I'm not just saying it because Palou won, Indy was worse this year than Monaco, if lapping backmarkers was awful in Monaco, it was a joke in Indy

#

Get in there lewis

severe spindle
#

Damn, he is going all in.

#

I mean I don't expect the F1 World Champions to not be popular with the ladies, but it is always a surprise whenever I see someone I see regularly on media, and kind of look up to, show these sorts of behvaiors.

glacial pine
#

Lewis has a guest rap verse about making that thang rain and laying pipe

severe spindle
#

Really? Damn, I guess he was always well into that scene.

#

I mean, I assume most of the drivers are, bar some of them which appear to be too shy for it.

#

Such as Charles Leclerc. But then again, I don't pry into their personal lives.

#

I don't know them personally.

glacial pine
#

I found it. It is also really bad

severe spindle
#

Yeah I didn't have much of an expectation.

#

Someone once said something which seemed rather funny, and true.

#

They said "Daniel Riccardo is a short person that looks like a tall person, while Charles Leclerc is a tall person that looks like a short person."

#

Hamilton sang in this

severe spindle
#

It certainly was a surprise.

#

To learn about this.

I've known this for forever

#

Good for you.

pale tinsel
#

@granite tangle, got some news for you

pale tinsel
#

I'm not having that

severe spindle
#

I mean first Newey for Aston, and now Horner for Ferrari? Redbull may as well close shop at that point.

Not to mention Verstappen planned for Aston or AMG for 2027.

gasly had a brake failure but its still his fault

can tsunoda as the car ahead guess that the car behind is gonna come flying to his rear right?

#

Palou says he's "perfect where he is", good! We don't need him in F1 anyways and besides he's not the "best in the world", 3 IndyCar titles and an Indy 500 win mean nothing to most of the F1 grid

glacial pine
#

Motorsports is so tricky to nail cross pollination. Even the subtle differences between series can make it break drivers as they move between them

#

Maybe the best F1 WDC we never saw had their career peak in Mazda MX5 Cup Thailand or something

strong kite
#

the goat prince bira

glacial pine
#

Bira raced in F1

strong kite
#

yeah well you mentioned thailand so i made the joke

glacial pine
#

Maybe the 2022 regs changes would have catapulted him to 3 championships... We will never know

strong kite
#

he was the prince of his country but never got to see it develop a place in motorsports

#

#

You can't be a racing driver if you don't make great expenses

granite tangle

#

What's so funny about it

granite tangle
severe spindle
#

Really? Pfft

#

That's infringing on their rights

granite tangle
#

yeah literally copied last year's mercedes design down to every detail, with a mercedes power unit

#

everyone called it the pink mercedes

#

and for a midfield team it was quite abnormally fast

severe spindle
#

Quite odd

#

I suppose its one of those rather funny bits of f1 history

granite tangle
#

perez went from 17th to 1st in this car in sakhir to get his maiden win

#

he had an amazing drive but it really showed that this car was fucking fast

severe spindle
#

Impressive drive honestiy

granite tangle
#

the european mind cannot comprehend this photo

severe spindle
#

These pictures are so cool

#

I will say

#

I don't quite understand one thing

#

Why do F1 cars need to be so big for safety reasons

#

When the Indycars can achieve higher speeds, yet are smaller

glacial pine
#

F1 tracks can create far steeper angles of impact. Indycar crashes usually hit walls and scrape along for aaaaaages, but in F1 there's more opportunity for hitting barriers head on at 160mph

#

At least the ovals.

#

Indycar road courses.... They are scary

severe spindle
#

Thats what I'm saying

#

The road courses rhat indy cars race at are pretty scary too

#

Infact, even tighter than F1 courses

#

Which is why the excuse for size doesn't make a whole lot of sense

glacial pine
#

So, there's an aspect of F1 cars being so large because more size is more aerodynamic surface area as well

severe spindle
#

If that's the actual reason, then I'd be more inclined to believe

#

Because rhats completely valid

#

Much more than any actual safety reason

glacial pine
#

Lots of different reasons.

#

Also the FIA just decides on minimum and maximum heights lengths and widths, to achieve what they want out of a regulation change.

severe spindle
#

Regardless, it doesn't matter too much
They'll just make racing the way they do anyway

#

Not like older cars being smaller really made any difference

glacial pine
#

They keep trying, and succeeding, in making it better.

severe spindle
#

They couldn't overtake at monaco before, they can't do it now

glacial pine
#

The last two regs changes had a big focus on reducing aero turbulence behind a car and we've seen a LOT more lap long side by side battles.
F1 cars have been too big for Monaco since 1970 it's totally irrelevant.

severe spindle
glacial pine
#

It has always been an exceptional formula E tracks it just took 80 years for those cars to get there.

severe spindle
#

Hrhe

glacial pine
#

More horsepower from the electric motor but not a bigger enough battery to make that work for high speed tracks...

severe spindle
#

2026 regs are kind of confusing at the moment
On paper they don't seem to state directly whether if they'll be faster or slower

#

But I assume the first year will have teething problems

glacial pine
severe spindle
#

Possibly, at least at the start

severe spindle
#

I don't even see why F1 cars of all things should be hybrids

glacial pine
#

The FIA won't particularly care about making the cars faster for the sake of it. They'll want to be the fastest race cars in the world, but there's nothing to be gained by being 10 seconds a lap faster instead of 2, than the next fastest car. So they want to make them spectacular to watch as sporting race cars, to show off the race craft and skill. And they will add goofy gimmicks to try and make it happen.

Hybrid power made F1 cars harder to drive, added a new strategic race craft toy AND made them faster., and they don't have to stop to refuel anymore. There's not really much of a negative to the hybridisation

severe spindle
#

I don't see any real positives either

glacial pine
#

I just listed 3

severe spindle
#

It's not the refuels ever took away from the cars

#

The sound are considerably worse

glacial pine
#

They sat in the pit box for 25 seconds at a time it was boooorrriiiingggg

severe spindle
#

That's their problem

#

It needed solving

#

Not being changed entirely

#

But personally

#

I couldn't care less what they use

#

They all sound and go the same anyway

#

At over 10k RPM even a 2 cylinder sounds the same as a 16 cylinder

glacial pine
#

That brief honda engine doing cylinder shut off during breaking. Oh my god the sound was wild.

#

There was an echo of V10 thunder you could hear when those cars were racing it was beyond belief

severe spindle
#

Its mostly just the fact that I associate hybrid with boring

#

But that's personal issues

glacial pine
#

Well that was also something F1 tried to solve. "Look here's a whole other toy to play with in your car"

severe spindle
glacial pine
#

I think they should have seriously looked into that. People who go to the V10 races really enjoyed that incredible sound. The volume of it, the distance it could travel and bounce back from was crazy

severe spindle
#

I heard some fly by shots of the V10s in Assetto Corsa, and it wasn't sounding like a car

#

It sounded like an actual screech

#

Almost scary honestly

glacial pine
#

Oh go find some footage. I dunno if any game can capture the way it would echo back into camera mics from the nearest couple of mountains.

Corvette E Ray?

severe spindle

Bigger than V8s I mean

#

V10s and V12s and such

#

Engine typed that are nearly extinct

#

I'm sure Lamborghini did this

#

The world has the technology

severe spindle
#

Have they?

#

I don't know any instance of this with Lamborghini

#

I mean the Ruevelto technology

#

It has some hybrid

glacial pine
#

Wasn't the Sian an Aventador derived hybrid too?

severe spindle

#

The Ruevelto does however

#

This is thr clip by thr way

That arrows sounded scary

#

Jaguar had one of the best F1 liveries

#

Fight me

glacial pine
#

The Revuelto, I think the Sian was a hybrid but idk

#

Remember when jaguar lost those diamonds at Monaco?

severe spindle
pale bridge
severe spindle
#

I keep hearing it

strong kite
#

I guess green white and red just make good racing liveries in general

glacial pine
#

They put some extraordinary diamonds on the nose of their cars for Monaco, crashed, and nobody ever found the diamond... It wasnt even a crazy crash, the rock definitely survived but nobody ever admitted they found it. There's a theory it was an insurance scam, that the diamonds on the cars were fake and they'd just claim they went missing regardless

severe spindle
#

What the hell

#

Why would they put diamonds in a F1 car lol

#

That's quite a silly tale

glacial pine
#

Monaco Vibes Baby

severe spindle
#

Yeah but not in a F1 car

glacial pine
#

It's glitzy, it's glam, and nobody was going to look at the slow as balls jags otherwise

severe spindle
#

I mean I suppose but it's stil such a silly thing to do

glacial pine
#

Oh absolutely

severe spindle
#

Silly Ford and Jaugar. Like you said, might have been an insurance scam. Its hard ro say
It's the weirdest thing ever and the crash itself was easily avoidable

glacial pine
#

But so was budgeting your team for 20 million dollars from a man with a giant beard who DOESN'T have a big energy drink factory you can visit but he swears it totally exists

severe spindle
#

Christ..

#

Jaguar years were rougher than I thought

glacial pine
#

Oh that was Haas

severe spindle
#

Oh wait lol

#

Right that's what Gene Hass did

glacial pine
#

My other favourite is how Daniel Abt got fired from the Abt formula E team

severe spindle
#

I swear to god, Haas won't make 2026 at this rate

#

They have the worst sponsors ever

#

Thr worst owner ever

strong kite
#

they should get fahim to sponsor them

severe spindle
#

All their drivers wreck.their cars every race

severe spindle
#

I love the white and red color of Haas, but they really need some actual brains behind their staff for once

#

Not unreliable sponsors and a cheapskate of a boss

#

And a team chief who's only known for breakdowns and swearing on DTS

glacial pine
#

Oh Gunther left

severe spindle
#

I know

#

He was the only thing notable about Haas

glacial pine
#

He's doing stand up comedy tour these days

severe spindle
#

And he isn't even there anymore

#

Haas is basically the Minardi of now

#

A team whose existence on the grid makes you wonder why they're even bothering

severe spindle
#

He never seemed like had any idea what he was doing as team chief

severe spindle
glacial pine
#

Do it

severe spindle
#

It'll be named Tweetman Momeni Formula E team
I'm the team, you're the title sponsor xd

glacial pine
#

There's been some really weird ones

#

Can't I also drive too?

severe spindle
#

Hell yeah

glacial pine
#

I've got £30 going spare to fund it with, and I just finished building my solar panel project so we won't pay for charging

severe spindle
#

We'll be the drivers

severe spindle
#

That's already more budget than any of the other teams

glacial pine
#

So true

severe spindle
#

Hehehe

#

Back when NIO 333 raced even the journalists were worried they'd get drafted in as race engineers

nissan should hire blackpanthaa to drive for their formula e teamtheoTrol

#

Nissan Leaf company car hell yeah

severe spindle

You'll be number 277 and I'll be number 24
And for livery we'll do something nice

#

I always quite liked old Jordan liveries

#

So why not something in homage to them

severe spindle
glacial pine
#

Do not tempt me

#

I want to

severe spindle
#

As a matter of fact even
There's the new Micra
Mix the Renaulr 5 together and we can make a 5/Micra Cup event

That'll be rhe support series for Formula E

Pffft

severe spindle
#

Looking into some history of F1 media

#

It seems like F1 used to be much more.. shall we say hateful in its presentation

#

Like I don't know how true it all was
But apparently in the Spanish GP, all of Spain threw racist remarks at Hamilton for beating his Spanish teammate
And in Silverstone, all of Britain threw racist remarks at Alonso for beating his British teammate.

#

Or how Schumacher was demonized on British broadcast in his earlier years.

#

F1 drama certainly is not small whatosever.

granite tangle
#

im not sorry at all

#

but i love this kid

severe spindle
#

To be honest, I felt bad for Bortoleto

#

I don't know if Kimi was actually being an ass

#

But Bortoleto was the only one with a legi overtake in the race

#

Only to be pushed into the wall by Kimi

lofty mirage
#

Ever since he was a young kart driver

severe spindle
#

A shame honestly

granite tangle
severe spindle
#

I personally never understood this sort of behvaior

granite tangle
#

both were and werent at fault

severe spindle
#

I mean I grew up in a world where a black man was racing and winning nearly every F1 race there was, and a black man was the president of the United states of America
It never made sense why are some discriminatory in that category

granite tangle
#

you could say "why would kimi back off and let him pass" and "gabi should know that kimi isnt gonna let him through" while kimi pushing him off could be true as well

#

circuit is fucked, cars are too big for it

severe spindle
#

Completely true

#

I understand why Kimi would do what he did

granite tangle
severe spindle
#

he wasn't breaking any rules as far as I know

#

But I still wish he'd let Bortoleto keep that position

#

God bless Sauber, I really wanna see them have at least one WCC

granite tangle
#

yeah its unfortunate

severe spindle
#

They've been at this sport for too long to not have more than just 1 race win

granite tangle
#

gabi is also unlucky to be in sauber, tho i guess he is lucky because at least hes on a multi year contract so he'll carry over to audi

#

bortoletto was the F2 champion after all

severe spindle
#

yeah that's something I wondered actually, whether if Hulkinberg and Bortoleo would carry over to Audi when the rebrand happens

granite tangle
#

they are both carrying over

#

their signings were made with audi in mind

#

thats why bottas lost his seat

severe spindle
#

Fair enough, guess this was long in the works afterall

severe spindle
granite tangle
#

audi wanted a pair of one experienced driver and a promising young talent i guess

severe spindle
#

Hey Bottas is pretty promising

granite tangle
#

promising i dont know

#

hes a veteran

severe spindle
#

Not to mention, became an internet personality with his time at Sauber

#

He easily was Sauber's most vital internet personality

#

The only reason anyone even cared about Kick sauber

granite tangle
#

bottas was great for marketing but i would guess signing hulk was much cheaper

severe spindle
#

They could have just kept him as a reserve driver

#

But I guess mercedes does that now

granite tangle
#

they could but mercedes sniped him

severe spindle
#

And Ferrari sniped Zhou

#

Quite interesting how things work in F1

granite tangle
#

well with zhou even tho hes a nice guy its different

#

ferrari got zhou because he brings a shitton of china money

severe spindle
#

Really? That was the reasn? Damn..

granite tangle
#

mercedes got bottas because he is experienced with the team and mechanics and can help develop the car

severe spindle
#

Of course

glacial pine
severe spindle
#

Plus him going away from Mercedes wasn't a choice they were happy about in the first place

#

I am sure Toto right now is very much doubting his choice about Kimi

severe spindle
#

Insanity

granite tangle
#

yeah the most notable and notorious thing was people in the spanish crowd painted their faces black and held up a sign that said "Hamilton's family"

glacial pine
severe spindle
#

Sad state of affairs ngl

#

I understand Hamilton is the first major black F1 driver to be driving at such a league

#

Hence some animosity is expected from a sport this set in stone

#

But like.. damn

#

I expected it to be just shouting hurtful remarks

#

Than going full on Black face

#

In the year 2007 of all things

#

I can see why sometimes governments arrest sports fans
They are too emotional

granite tangle
#

i mean in the year 2021 we had good old Nelson come out and say some things XD

severe spindle
#

What was that?

granite tangle
#

hamilton put verstappen into the wall at 55G that year in silverstone

severe spindle
#

Oh yeah I remeber that incident

glacial pine
#

(and then Christian Horner sent someone on a full simulation test day to try and make the FIA believe it was deliberate and premeditated)

severe spindle
#

It was really brutal crash

granite tangle
#

Nelson Piquet (his daughter is engaged to Max obviously) proceeded to call lewis an equivalent of "that n-word" instead of using his name in a portuguese interview

glacial pine
#

Piquet is just a cunt generally

severe spindle
#

Damn, that is messed up

glacial pine
#

Didn't even want go to London to watch his son win the formula e championship

severe spindle
#

I mean I get it, he was mad about the incidents
Becoming emotional is expected
but people who act like this, are usually like this even when stuff like this don't happen

granite tangle
#

Nelson is a legend of the sport in track but outside of it he aint so nice

#

it is what it is though

#

if FIA is fine with him just getting a 1million$ fine then who am i to know better right

severe spindle
#

Like hamilton is said to be a rather cold person to speak with

#

Or Schumacher was sometimes described as "a real scumbag"

#

But even still, I really expect better standards

#

When people like Hakkinen, Piastri or Jim Clark exist or existed, I really don't think of having higher expectations of your sports idols to be a false thing

glacial pine
#

Piastri? I've never seen that man say or do anything

#

He just seems to turn up, win stuff, be unstressed, say thank you McLaren and off he goes

#

It's amazing

severe spindle
#

He is top class

#

Same with the other two

#

On or off the track, they're top class

#

Plus he gets along with everyone

#

Or at least makes an attempt

#

I'm pretty sure Hamilton has never had a real friend in F1
Whether be it due to his racial situation or his own personality

#

Regardless, no real hate is intended. God knows the only reason anyone actually watches F1 is for irregulaties

glacial pine
#

He and Nico Rosberg were great friends for a very long time

severe spindle
#

I heard they had a fallout. I hope it's not true.

glacial pine
#

Well 2016 broke that friendship. Teammates, a dominant car, and two drivers that did EVERYTHING to beat the other to the championship

#

But it wasn't like, rudeness or hatred it was being total rivals

severe spindle
#

It's still a shame honestly

#

I hate it when teammates have to battle like that

#

Just breaks the whole concept of a team

severe spindle

I love it actually

#

I don't know if it's a homage to any previous look of Alpine/Renault
But it looks awesome

#

It's interesting, every race there seems to be at least one team changing their car's livery in homage

#

or some other reason

#

Ferrari and RB broke out new liveries for Miami
Mclaren had a slightly different livery for Monaco, and Charles a different race suit
And now Alpine with this one for Spain

But twinks is a matter else

Omg GT7 car

severe spindle
#

GT7 has this? nice

glacial pine
#

It's so happy to go sideways everywhere

strong kite
#

Yeah as of November

severe spindle
#

That's rather cool

#

Classic F1 cars are always quite cool

#

I'ts crazy that it used to be so much easier to make F1 cars

glacial pine
#

I dunno if it was ever easier, they were still cutting edge

severe spindle
#

All it essentially meant twas getting thinner tires, removing any fender and fitting a bigger engine

#

You know, I wonder something

#

How would a front engine modern F1 car be like

glacial pine
#

The closest we ever got was the LMP1 Nissan GT-R (my beloved)

severe spindle
#

That's true, that was one of the last Front engine LMP1 cars

glacial pine
#

You gain a huge amount of volume at the back of the car to do aero with

severe spindle
#

It was also even Front wheel drive

glacial pine
glacial pine
severe spindle
#

This is what some made as an idea for a front engine indy car

#

So I guess it is possible to do the same for F1 cars

glacial pine
#

But with the current formula hinging so much on ground effect, and huge venturi tunnels, a front engine F1 car could be pretty brilliant

severe spindle
#

It certainly would be, and it would also most likely be quite expensive to develop

severe spindle
glacial pine
#

I guess the main problems youd have is all the regulations for aero size and shape would need torn up, and crash testing would be very different, youd need to keep the heaviest component from coming backward into the cabin in a crash

severe spindle
#

It would also require a very different style of driving

#

You'd be much more likely to see them kick the tail out, just so they can get a bit more rotation

#

And in a situation like this, nearly any sort of crash would cause the engine to be damaged

#

Which would rise the repair costs

glacial pine
severe spindle
#

Interesting, that would still definitely favor the front wheels more than rear

#

But I suppose it is at least something

#

It's such an odd ball

#

But honestly, I do like it

glacial pine
#

Back when Nissan developed this, I dont think there was a minimum speed limit for the Hybrid systems, so it would have probably been closer to a normal 4WD hybrid out the corners, except with torque steer from gear changes instead of possibilities of oversteer.

severe spindle
#

Most likely

#

By the way, while looking for FR F1 concepts

#

I came across many pictures like this

#

I don't know if you notice any difference

#

But that's a modern regulation F1 car without the Halo

I don't think the Halo was even the biggest bother to me, in terms of how it affects these cars' design
But I don't think it's false to say either they do look a bit sleeker without them

lofty mirage
#

I like

#

But it feels wrong

severe spindle
#

I do too honestly, and it does indeed feel wrong somewhat

#

Espedcially since the Halo has become so set in stone

glacial pine
severe spindle
#

But I wouldn't mind it not being there either

severe spindle
#

I get the safety gains from the halo and all, but I do think without it, these cars do look better

severe spindle
strong kite
#

They don't want another driver dying like Jules Bianchi

severe spindle
#

In the period that the Halo has been used, it has proven very effective

lofty mirage
#

Ofc

#

The halo saved many people

severe spindle
#

Lewis Hamilton himself owes his life to it

glacial pine
#

F1 safety is one of those things you can just never go back on

lofty mirage
#

I dont know who got the idea to create this but he is a genuis

severe spindle
#

But let's be real

#

This sport?
it was always intended purely for adrenaline junkies anyway

#

So I don't think those who died wouldn't have wanted to die anyway

As the materials technology moves on, you can use less material and pass the same tests 👍

severe spindle
#

You know what I don't understand?

#

They are going out of their way to make all these halos for the sake of safety

#

But like... can't they just make the F1 cars closed cockpit?

#

Like many fictional formula cars?

glacial pine
#

Extraction times

severe spindle
#

Extraction times?

glacial pine
#

If you dont have a roof, you cant get caught under it

#

Hypercars need really advnaced fire suppresion in the cockpits in case you cant get doors open easily when theres a fire. In F1 the drivers need to pass extraction testing, being able to undo their harnesses and crawl out fast enough

severe spindle
#

Hmm..

#

I suppose that's a fair argument

#

They get an essential close cockpit frame with the halo

#

but easier to get out of

glacial pine
#

The main dangerout object to a driver is tires coming off at speed.

#

Grosjean was saved by the halo and that was a weird edge case

severe spindle
#

I don't know if the gains of Halo are truly established

#

But I suppose it works

glacial pine
#

It doesnt do nothing, thats for sure.

severe spindle
#

I don't know how many cases of F1 drvers dying due to some debris off of the front car there are

severe spindle
lofty mirage
glacial pine

#

2012 Spa start also had a VERY near miss for Fernando Alonso that wouldnt have been as close with the Halo

severe spindle
#

I didn't hear anything abou debris

glacial pine
#

The big development after sennas death were the wheel tethers, that try to stop them flying off when theres a crash

severe spindle
glacial pine
#

But i think it was the Bianchi incident that made using the halo an FIA goal. They also greatly changed the way safety cars and trackside vehicles interact as that was also part of that tragedy

severe spindle
severe spindle
glacial pine
#

If you watch the extended Spanish GP highlights F1 just posted on youtube, you'll see a lot of CRAAAZZZYYYYYY usage of trackside machinery you'd NEVER see today under a simple yellow flag

#

Exceptional racing that day

severe spindle
#

I suppose it shows the significance of safety

#

Above the cars' visual design

#

I think the current regulations make the halo look much more natural than the previous regulations

glacial pine
#

I'm sure the FIA wanted that. They got the halo on the cars as soon as it was ready, it was a bit weird visually

severe spindle
#

There just can be no argument for safety, but one of the appeals of Motorsports has always been its high risk high reward nature. Not just in the field of F1, but every discipline

glacial pine
#

Yeah, but the risk doesnt have to be injury. Making a split second mistake after weeks of practice and sim work, and ending up out of a race over nothing... Thats a good enough risk

#

We saw it at monaco, for Gasly

severe spindle
#

I suppose. The fact of the matter is, whether if death or simple DNF, the result ends up being the same for the race itself

#

It's only how it is seen on the outside

#

And it affects the bigger sphere

#

I mean the famous Rush movie, with Nikki Lauda always going on about calculated risk

#

Lauda was never a real driver, hence he was always so worried about risks

#

But his peers weren't

#

They kind of all accept, as do modern F1 drivers, that dying in this sport is sort of the highest honor you can achieve

#

But of course, F1 isn't some fantasy or story we read on books

#

It's reality, and these poeple are very real people with families and friends

glacial pine
#

When Lauda was racing, the risk of death was FAR higher, so that affects who ends up turning up to compete. Jackie Stewart and Lauda were pretty pioneering in trying to reduce that risk

severe spindle
#

We can romanticize the death of Senna or Clark or others as much as want, but the safety would always be a priorty in reality anyway

severe spindle
#

Back then, death was much less significant

#

especally in a sport that sold itself on its possibility of fatalities

glacial pine
#

I think its more that dying in motorsports was less shocking, more expected

severe spindle
#

It means the same as what I say

#

But oh well

#

Regardless, the safety advances of Formula 1, and Motorsports in general, go far beyond just the halo

#

So even if it is removed, which is what most sim racers do when driving these cars for better visibility, it won't change much in reality

#

The changes are much more than just this one thing

The energy constraints. They do not have enough battery to run a race flat out. BUT unlike an ICE series doing this, the regen braking can scavenge a LOT of energy back into the battery, if you coast at high speed and avoid using the friction brakes. So every car ends up at a different point of wanting to save energy coasting and slipstreaming, wanting to build energy by using regen from high speeds, or spending energy to move forwards in the pack. The commentators compare the races where this happens to a cycling peloton, where every rider wants to conserve their energy unti they're ready to push flat out.

That's why they don't want it gone

I know they can

And that's what they want as well

But I'm just ssaying, they won't wanna missi out on the publicity that F1 brings

Well they'll lose the publicity

I suppose it isn't the biggest loss, but Renault has been with F1 for a very long time

THem being gone would be a bad sign

Not like their current status is not a bad sign

And to think they wanted Oscar Piastri to be their guinea pig

"No thanks, I'm looking to win championships, not hold your dogwater team together with my two hands"

It certainly would have turned differently if he joined them

Like I love Oscar for all he does, but imagining what it would have been like if he joined Alpine instead of Mclaren, man the timeline that would be

Do you what's even more ironic, Gasly was possibly considered as a replacement for Danny Ric for 2023 until they went for Oscar

It's fine, he's achieved decent success in his time for what it's worth

pale bridge

Yeah but his career will always be defined by how his brief stint at Red Bull was

It's just how luck would have it

#

He wasn't the first, nor will he be the last, to have such a shakey career

#

it's what makes F1 interesting to begin with

pale bridge
#

Yeah but he decided to shove that down the sink by sticking by Alpine, his credibility sucks, his only loyalties are his girlfriend and his dog, he's not even loyal to Yuki anymore because he decided to blame him for driving into the back of him in Monaco

severe spindle
#

Plus, whenever his time at Alpine may be up, he can just go and race for them in WEC

#

They have decent success there

severe spindle
#

I'm sure he was frustrated from elsewhere

pale bridge
severe spindle
#

There's nothing I respect more than being loyal to your team

#

And the fact that he's stuck with Alpine despite everything, is showing of his determination to win under their flag

pale bridge
#

It's quite clear the Renault higher ups have brainwashed him

severe spindle
#

Well, there's also another very apparent reason

#

💵 money 💵

#

These athletes at the end of the day are employees above everything

#

and if no other team particularly wants him, and Alpine pays him welle nouygh, that's enouygh reason to stay

HAHAHAHA

He basically told palpatine to pay extra if he wants him to even consider alpine 😭

#

Thank fuck that didn’t work

#

In other news

#

Max for the third time in a single year, defends the no2 driver by publicly announcing they are not the problem

#

And for the 4th time the Red Bull higher ups (this time Christian Horner) came out in the same GP to say “x needs to step up, if he wants the seat next year”

#

Oh, sorry I did not realize.

#

It’s illegal if we are talking about betting services, not between 2 people I reckon

severe spindle
#

This situation is strange.

#

I have taken a look at the Qualifying results, and those who said Mclaren's pace is showing signs of drops, well weren't you thick.

#

Rather funny that Hamilton qualified ahead of Leclerc for once.

#

And Alonso is 10th, which is probably not even the position he'll finish by the end of the race.

#

I do need to ask however how Sainz has managed to qualify worse than nearly everyone, especially since the Williams' car seemed rather up to pace.

granite tangle
granite tangle
#

If I’m hadjar I’m staying with RB till any other team wants me

severe spindle

#

If I’m Yuki I have Helmut on speed dial begging him to demote me

severe spindle
#

Suffice to say, Redbull's reign is over.

severe spindle
granite tangle
#

Also Alonso may be 10th but his lap was truly amazing, you can just see he is extracting everything from this Aston Martin

#

Alonso put it on 5th, just didn’t have time for a second run in Q3 sadly

severe spindle
#

I thought the Aston was supposed to be rapid now, given he qualified 5th in the last 2 races. I guess it's gone back to being a tractor again, and if his luck would have it, it'll break down and he'll DNF in lap 38 or something.

granite tangle
#

And everyone went on to do a second round

#

Of course with track evolution and all he got beat

granite tangle
#

Some teams just are smart enough to swap the part out before it blows up mid race…

severe spindle
#

Regardless, we all know Alonso ain't finishing in points

granite tangle
#

Well what we have to understand is the engine inside the merc the Aston and the McLaren is the same

severe spindle
#

If the qualifer is any indication, this'll be another 1 2 for Mclaren.

granite tangle
#

So how come the merc and the Aston blew and the mclarens didn’t

#

Well the answer is a competent garage

#

That swaps parts out before they explode

Lewis got a fucking ass whooping from Lauda for this ill never forget it

That was a constant problem with Rosberg. He was an absolute asshole with his blocks.

Yet he was the one man that beat Hamilton in equal machinery

severe spindle

Boohoo

He was also one of the least sportsman drivers

#

I never liked him

granite tangle

I bet he does not give a single fuck about that

Like Alonso said
"You always have to leave a space"

He’s a world champion, one of the hardest earned as well to beat Hamilton who literally WAS Mercedes in one

Sounds like excuses to me

Niki Lauda when both of them came back to the garage put it on Lewis because he was the one that could have avoided it

Rosberg pushed Hamilton off the track

Well he was the manager in Mercedes then

That was what happened

So he was the one dealing with anything drivers

Respect to lauda, but I never take anything he says seriously

#

For sure there isn’t a light fitted in f1 cars to indicate when they’re out of charge

He's not a driver

That seems like further reason to not turn in suddenly

This wasn't a new thing with Rosberg

I look forward to it, if I can even get to watch the bloody race

Honestly, I'd say all's forgiven for this move alone

You cannot sleep on a man who can make such an overtake on freaking Monaco of all places

I do need to ask

#

Is there any section on Monaco that you're allowed to DRS on?

The straights seem too short for it

I think there's some drs into turn one

If cadillac F1 get Perez in their car theyd LOVE to give him another weekend racing. Perez has won in the current regulation set and won for lawrence strolls team. If he's available there isn't a better driver
