alright?
I saw the Kvyat crash. Not a proper penalty for going slightly wide. With walls you know what you're getting into, it's not like they expected curbs to do this. If they all slow down cause of the curbing people will whine that the drivers are being held back from driving the car like they should be able to.

It's not the curb's fault. The cars are too fragile to be able to handle the slightest bump. The drivers just need to drive better.

To be fair that was the original solution and it was a bit of a farce. They have to do this or randomly delete a third of the lap times.

Drivers somehow managed to stay in on the wet...

No you don't understand, the cars have to be this delicate to be competitive, allowing drivers to run over the kerbs is the only answer

They've had P1 P2 and P3 to know what they're getting into, and also probably had a heads up before Friday. I don't know exactly when the ring was redone (but I'd love to see a source should anyone have one) but everyone is racing to the same limits, the ones that gently caress themselves are 100% themselves to blame

lol Seb getting a little pissy there.

I like how Jenson was all like "you can't really depend on the track having the same grip level as from the last lap because the track gets more and more grip each lap, so you just have to feel how much grip you have to see how fast you can take the corner" and Seb was all "well I was too conservative because I remembered the grip level from the last lap and took the corner based on that but the track had dried a bit more and there was more grip available"

Adding to the previous F1 Scale Modeling book (which is still available), I also just discovered these books. You can have them for free including media mail shipping in the US:



The bottom two are from the mid-90s, pretty typical coffee table books. Other one is a bit older and is more about racing craft.



The racing cars of the world one has fold outs, the McLaren book features sexy pictures of a young David Coulthard getting a massage and meditating. Mmm, chinny.

Any takers?

Man, this will be my first time watching F1 in the US forever. I'm in Hawaii so it's a pleasant 2 am race. And I have no idea what channel NBCSN is here.
