a funny thing i noticed is that before every race the fia asks every team to list the changes they've made to the car and mark them up for them on a handy fia provided form.

and alpine says they've rebuilt the entire car over the winter break, but they only list 3 changes on the form



meanwhile williams made 14 changes to their car over the break





i think alpines mechanics went on a nice prolonged winter holiday and didn't do jack poo poo

I really wish F1 TV had a Samsung Smart TV app like so many other sports do. No way I want to get an account to watch it on my Iphone, or worse, screen share my iphone up to my TV. Screw that noise. Just write a goddamn app, will you please? Its already basically written for you fucks since SamsungOS is a type of AndroidOS

The roku app will not let you start an event from the beginning if it's still running live so if a race starts before I get up I have to try to peek at the progress bar without seeing the standings while I rewind it to the beginning. It's maddening.

I sent feedback asking for a PS5 F1TV app and all I got was a canned response with where the app is available. Not even a, "thank you for the suggestion" in that canned response.

The point of having a smart TV is I don't need to buy devices to attach to my TV. So no need for a roku, firestick, apple tv or any other bullshit.

I really wish TVs didn't come with an OS. It's all just shovelware for tracking and other poo poo nobody wants.

I'd rather save a few bucks and put it towards a $45 dongle I can replace every five years.

Same issue with the lovely proprietary OS / navigation systems in cars. My Corolla will live 20 years beyond the last crappy firmware update. Just give me a screen and an easy way to replace it with the latest Android OS / Carplay receiver.

Amazon fire sticks are cheap, get one of them and an IPTV service with an annual fee cheaper than a month of Sky Sports and you've basically got every TV channel outside of China. If you're a glutton for punishment you can even set it up as DVR for the races that aren't at sociable hours in your locale.

Can you even buy a dumb tv anymore? The point of buying an Apple TV or something is so you don’t need to use the janky built-in cringeware and instead can use something with more than one megahert that was build by people who have heard of UX

no the point of a smart tv is to collect data on what you watch and when so the tv company can sell that to other companies

yes, but they tend to be very expensive displays meant for studio use. some people just go with large computer displays but that's a whole other bowl of coco pops

If you can't connect the dots between this and why every "smart" TV's interface is half assed and thrown together versus a separate box you actually have to pay for then I've got some Nigerian prince emails to show you

You're right, it is pretty close, but max with a 1 sec advantage is going to win just like max with a .1 sec advantage, they don't generally gently caress up.

Now ferrari, there's a team that makes having the faster car exciting.

Believe me, I know, I got roasted last season for posting about hating Max

But I can live with the rest of the field being interesting, I somehow started watching F1 in 2018 where like nothing happened ever

it's because they're using absolute bottom of the barrel hardware so it's cheaper

Sorry bud, if you bought a TV and paid extra for any smart features you are a rube, they have literally always been a pile of poorly built and badly maintained poo poo.

Your TV is just a panel to reproduce images and you should be supplying it with a device that is actually going to be maintained, or that you can swap out easily.

Some F1 happened I guess, but that isnt important right now

Thinking about it more.. other smart TV owners who actually connect it to the wifi are subsidizing manufacturing costs?

Maybe smart TVs own actually?
