Max was just sandbagging

Just trying to scare GP a bit

Just like how Max almost drove over DC's foot to scare him too

[atomic egret]

I always double take when he mentions Mike Krack

[restive inlet]

At least Max can farm some positions gained farming

Numbers not looking so great past races

[atomic egret]

Qualifying debrief what happened haven't been able to watch

Only got confused so far by max getting the fastest lap but articles saying leclerc

Which they should do because max penalty

[candid pebble]

[high cedar]

Yea was awear of that just confusing getting notifications of leclerc on pole but then seeing the times didn't match

[high cedar]

[warped cave]

[atomic egret]

how was it clear for Anthony but pissing down for Ted?

[wraith stratus]

Anthony’s bit was pre-recorded

[atomic egret]

Oh. Stupid Ted acting like it was a live cross

[wraith stratus]

They pre-record bits not everything is live.

When they go live for the drivers parade on Sundays that bit is always pre recorded, as the parade happens earlier than when they start the programme

[atomic egret]

This is an outrage

[wraith stratus]

[sinful kiln]

write a letter to the local news paper and tell them about it

[atomic egret]

MUSAK!

[restive inlet]

F1TV talked about yellow/red flags being a real danger at the end of quali sessions, especially if a Dane wants to renovate the advertisement boards because of KMag

[atomic egret]

Wrong person to ask to test it

NO DANNY!

[wraith stratus]

Red flag has screwed over Alonso

[restive inlet]

Also yesterday Yuki P11 Daniel out in Q1, Today Yuki out in SQ1 Daniel P11

[sinful kiln]

he fucked over a bunch of drivers

[high cedar]

Well..... Fuck

[wraith stratus]

Florida man, Albono, Danny, Alonso

Alonso doesn’t sound impressed

[trim girder]

that Stroll engineer: fuck another late night.

[high cedar]

That's what people get for waiting till the last minute

[restive inlet]

Also why did they go with meds

[sinful kiln]

[restive inlet]

Over softs

[atomic egret]

Stroll on Scootie

[restive inlet]

You know the tyre that doesn't require a lot of temperature

Easier to fire up

Idk seems weird to me

[atomic egret]

wait, what?

[wraith stratus]

Ah so that’s why, because the session was never declared wet, they had to fit mediums

[restive inlet]

🤡 pope

[atomic egret]

So, it was a bureaucratic fuck up?

[warped cave]

[wraith stratus]

Just repeating what Croft’s said, apparently there is some rule that they had to fit mediums for strolls run

[restive inlet]

Not watching sky

so idk what they said

[wraith stratus]

Something to do with the FIA not declaring it a wet track

[restive inlet]

hahahaha F1TV showing interview with Alonso after the session.
He got asked how he found this season and he said we didn't get to start a lap so I didn't have a session

Alonso aint happy about this

Also

Stroll already met the slipperyness earlier today

Poor guy this water is really out to get him

[sinful kiln]

poor stroll

[wraith stratus]

Ahh that’s it, So sprint qualifying they have to run Mediums Q1 & Q2 soft Q3. If the track is declared wet then they have a free choice. Because the track wasn’t declared wet lance had to run mediums

[restive inlet]

Looks like 10 cars on softs

[atomic egret]

Sounds like some words about the traffic

[sinful kiln]

the cap is just weird.

[wraith stratus]

Gave him a cap for winning the sprint quali

[atomic egret]

Honestly? Better than pottery

[late agate]

Better than a stupid tire

[sinful kiln]

the tire is somewhat related to the sport compared to the cap.

[wraith stratus]

Imagine if you were pastry, you win your first ever F1 session and you get given a cap though

[restive inlet]

Luckily he didn't win his first session

[lofty hearth]

Just saw the contact between Lewis and Checo, It was quite fair knock into the red bull but i would given it a racing incident, Still the stewards have more data and with the red bull retiring it is understandable the penalty happened.

[warped cave]

It actually looks very bad from Ham's POV

https://imgur.com/a/UhfhW8M

[atomic egret]

From the over head it looks like Perez was holding his line (he was ahead) and Ham drifted into him. Looks fair to me.

https://twitter.com/f1multiviewer/status/1685327541907689477

MultiViewer (@f1multiviewer)

I'm gonna go out on a limb here, but I think the penalty makes sense, seeing it from this angle.

just the merest of touches, but yes a fair penalty

[wraith stratus]

yeah, i would say that's a Ham pen, Perez was entitled to some room on the outside

looks harsh but he took someone out of the race, so 5 seconds seems fair

[lofty hearth]

still at least Danny Ric beat both of his rivals today

[wraith stratus]

They have to have a reason to retire the car, if the car can run then they still have to be out there

[restive inlet]

[dusky harbor]

Nope, 2022 he won Bahrain, Australia, Austria and then 2019 Monza and Spa

[honest cipher]

oh wow

hes gotta be one of the must unlucky drivers ever

This might be one of the rumours from a few months back of Australia becoming a night race, reason is to make eu viewer numbers better lmfao

@dusky harbor @atomic egret rip bozos

But guess we'll find out tomorrow

[atomic egret]

Even if it's a night race, it isn't like it'll be midnight, so no issues. I do think Albert Park looks better in the day, though.

[wraith stratus]

would probably be a 7pm or 8pm start, you guys are what 9-10 hours ahead of europe? so would be 10-11am Europe time which works a lot better for everyone, apart from the Americans

Make China and Japan night races and its the perfect Calendar for Europeans

[sinful kiln]

if so then NA and SA races should be morning races

[finite sun]

I don't mind a few races being at night for us :p

[dusky harbor]

Fuck i hope not

Why should every different timezone country bend over backwards for EU numbers

God forbid they suffer 3 races out of 24

[high cedar]

if anything they would want to change to suit the americans

[sinful kiln]

[dusky harbor]

God no fuck the americans, its more eu viewership that us

Ill actually be pissed if its a night race now

[high cedar]

yea they suck but f1 wants that audiance

[sinful kiln]

@dusky harbor just move to perth. it might be bit better for you?

[dusky harbor]

Rather move to new zealand

[sinful kiln]

perth is that bad i see

[dusky harbor]

F1 can get that audience easy though

[high cedar]

is it perth that has loads of laws to reduce bar fights

God i dunno, and exactly, more than enough gps

[restive inlet]

I agree with u tbh, but it's still so funny if true

[dusky harbor]

Tickets sales will go down and local interest will die out

[high cedar]

which is why we do not have the Turkish GP anymore nobody went

[wraith stratus]

i miss the Turkish GP such a good track

[high cedar]

Yea it's just in the middle of nowhere in a country with a broken economy

[atomic egret]

I'm making a joke, cause the lockdown pretty much started on the day of Australian GP a few years ago

[dusky harbor]

Times havent been annouced yet but id say same times

[candid pebble]

interesting, i just read an article stating that they are discussing to forbid the use of DRS in the qualifying

[thorn topaz]

Indeed, AMuS posted about it recently

[wild wigeon]

but why though

[thorn topaz]

To even out quali I'd assume, but reddit etc are all going down the dooming pattern of ThEy ArE nErFiNg Rb AfTeR 2 yEaRs oF dOmInAnCe

Fuck knows. Its FIA/FOM

Its a thing they are discussing, not a thing set in stone

[high cedar]

its for the show

admittedly it is an overtaking aid, not a lets go fast in quali aid

[candid pebble]

yeah, i guess they hope if they would do it it would bring the field closer since one team has a pretty big advantage in that area which the rest of the teams still dont really understand how they get such an advantage with it

[high cedar]

Because complicated aerodynamics

https://youtu.be/EJUj52YxToU

https://youtu.be/7Mf7pt2Bhgg

Explains some of the aerodynamics

The red bull is extremely areo efficient and with the bit in the first video they get a fair bit of downforce from the lower wing which importantly is clean air meaning it's smooth

So when they open the drs they lose less downforce that keeps them planted without causing too much drag

[thorn topaz]

The RB car has a significant DRS advantage, thats nothing new, Adrian Newey is just built different. Guess enough teams ree'd about it

[high cedar]

Yea Adrian is a master of areo

[thorn topaz]

Just not a master of bicycles, but thats a totally different thing

[high cedar]

Yea 4 better than 2

Of course now I say that he's going to go and design a super bike to rule the world

[dusky harbor]

na the redbull is illegall reeeeeeeee

[high cedar]

Well all cars are checked regularly and I believe the one max uses was even stripped down with FIA supervision as happens to one car at random every race

And nothing has come up yet and if it's been quietly delt with they are still faster

Unlike Aston

[dusky harbor]

yeah i know, just portraying merc fans

[high cedar]

Ah

In that case the fia found something on the red bull and the Aston but allowed fedbull to keep it

[high cedar]

Formula Data Analysis (@FDataAnalysis)

Banning the DRS in qualifying would impact RedBull the most🚨

The team has had the most effective DRS in most tracks

Drag reduction (DRS+Tow) in Spa:
Merc 14.9%📉
McL 15.6%
Aston 16.5%
RB 22.6%📈

IMHO, F1 should reward excellence

"Phase two"

100 race plan

Renault really needs to suck it up that all these plans keep on failing and instead should focus on actually delivering rather than showing off these plans

Also Famin says the reshuffle will have no effect on car development. So what's the point of the reshuffle then

#1025426194616823868 message yeah. Kaotac posted it earlier

[restive inlet]

Too early for me, must've missed it

[sinful kiln]

but yeah. they did the same with piastri. pretty funny

[restive inlet]

This is way different tbh

They already had a contract with him for 2023-2026

[sinful kiln]

oh okey

[restive inlet]

But then after court battles last year since he couldn't legally sign that contract for 2023

So it got moved for 2024-2026

And now he resigned for chip ganassi racing

For 2024 and onwards

While also contractually being an MCL driver too

But MCL is not that great in Indy and the path to a MCL F1 seat seems dead now due to Piastri

He is Indy leader atm with CGR

So overall he realised how bad the move would be now

But too bad already signed it

[sinful kiln]

[restive inlet]

MCL is also just sueing for money and not enforcing the contract

[sinful kiln]

MCL seems to be on 5th place. so its not that bad?

[restive inlet]

They are just a midfielder

He can win (and currently is winning) with CGR

But the MCL deal was for beyond Indy (F1 seat)

But that was depending on how Piastri goes

And currently it's clear Piastri is close to Norris so they aren't getting rid of either for him

Oh, read up on it. Didnt cause a red flag, as it rolled underneath a barrier on its own, he was removed from the weekend but nothing further

Was during Quali last year
