Ricciardo is pretty much the only likable F1 driver. He's the WDC we need.

Ricky dick is alright. Hard to like somebody when they drive for Red Bull but he's trying his god drat hardest to make it happen. Also I've come up with a really dumb idea and executed it.

Does anyone have a link to a news source saying the telemetry showed that Lewis didn't lift? because the only reference I've seen is somone in this thread saying Lewis didn't lift because the telemetry showed it. On the live show Sky said that he did brake significantly but that wasn't unusual under the saftey car.

From Vettels onboard, it certainly looked like he took off and then suddenly slowed down.

I don't think Lewis ever actually accelerated after the apex, I think Vettel wasn't paying attention and assumed he was playing mind games when in reality he was trying to build up a large gap to the Safety Car so he could nail it all the way to the line. Lewis' concern was being able to flat out go for the line (he'd been told after the first safety car went in that he'd almost overtaken the Safety Car as it went in) Vettel on the other hand was worried about the Force India cars potentially jumping him on the restart (because that had almost happened to him after the first restart). Those sentences are my opinion. Video is here and the stuff you might care about is at 12 seconds.

So I've made a small album of my 7 year old niece's go kart meet from a couple of weekends ago. She races a FA Kart, which I was recently informed from this thread is just a rebranded TonyKart. I've blurred out the faces of my brother and my niece because I'm a bit paranoid about all this new, fan-dangled internet business. All the other faces I don't care about obviously. She's trying her hardest at the moment, and although she wasn't the only girl racer in the grid, she was definitely not the best girl racer, or the best racer in general. She got tapped off of the track a couple times and spun out by herself a few of times, but she managed to finish 9th (out of ~14 racers) in one of the racers, so theres that. This is the track layout for those wondering.

That's not saying he didn't not accelerate where you would expect him to though. The telemetary is showing he didn't press the brake pedal or lifted off entirely. They didn't say "he didn't lift". You would need to look at all the telemetry from all the laps under the SC, and that would be incredibly hard to analyse because of there being different gaps and speeds. What we saw on screen was Lewis not going as fast as you would expect him to be going. What they don't have is proof of motive which they most certainly have with Seb. It's the FIA not wanting to intervene unless they absolutely have to thing again. He'd just had a penalty of his head rest's making, Mercades would have been pain in the arses, lots of fans would have been pissed, and it's proof by numbers so many of them would have been pissed and confused. It's not really a bad thing, and it's not something that just happens at the front. Drivers are just going to have to punch each other in the face after the race and sort it out between themselves.

Pretty sure that's the first place I went go karting as a wee tacker about 20-25 years ago.

He may have also made a mistake on the previous restart or he may not. I think that they can bluster and fudge all they like if this is what they are doing, not that it remotely matters at all, because you would need to be an idiot to think that the championship should be effected without absolute conclusive proof which they clearly don't have. If he's stupid enough to get caught mouthing off about how is was deliberate then yes they should come down on him like the fist of an angry God, but he's learned to keep his mouth shut after what happened at McLaren.

I barely got the minimum passing score for the familiarization program in Australia after an hour of doing it over and over again, decided it wasn't for me (I tried both having assists on and having no assists at all). I think I might need a wheel or a new gamepad to properly play it, I don't think my ancient 360 pad's triggers let me have the sort of throttle control you need. It's basically all or nothing. I'm gonna give Dirt Rally a try next because I figure at least that one won't require you to also worry about other cars, fuel or tyre wear.

Car setup is a pretty big deal in the codemasters F1 games and they seem to cycle between making it controller oriented and steering wheel oriented. They don't seem to be able to make a game that can do both at once. Its loving annoying.

I'd be happy to learn about setup but the game needs to tell me what the setup does and maybe even analyze the problems I'm having and suggest settings to mess with. I've played Dirt 3, which is really arcadey, but it gives you a straightforward explanation of the various things you can fiddle with and what the difference is between low this and stiff that. F1 2016 seems aimed at people who have already played Codey's F1 games before, which is perfectly fine, but I haven't played an F1 game since 1997.

We haven't actually seen the telemetry, we don't know, and no one will know, what the usual acceleration point for that corner is under a saftey car going x speed. it's the second race, and they changed the kerbs, the data just won't be there. This isn't Spa where they have truckloads of data from previous races, at Bacu they won't be able to prove or disprove diddly poo poo. What they can't do is stand up and go "well we dunno ask us in 10 races time" because that opens up the proverbial can of worms. IMO he lost concentration because he was fiddling with his buttons, complaining about the SC speed, or looking at a sign and simply made a mistake.

Its loving annoying. 2016 is pad oriented, but it's also the least biased of their recent games iirc (they've shied away from making wheel centric games since ?2011?). 2017 looks like a pretty good iteration on 2016, particularly it's single player offerings, so that's something to look out for.

If you're having issues getting the throttle just right for F1, Dirt Rally is going to eat you alive.
