I think I saw a calculation the other day that said that the points for fastest lap only would have mattered once in the last dozen years. It was that season that Hamilton won the championship by 1 point.

Whenever I start to feel down about being a Mclaren fan, I just think of Williams and think "Well, could be worse".

I do hope they sort themselves out, solely because of the goon that works for them.

It's only practise. Wait till the engines are in quali mode and watch Williams struggle with the 107% rule

Hahaha.

What would the cutoff be for 107%.....

edit: According to google... 86.67 seconds or 1:26.67 for a 1:21 lap...

They make it under 107% in practice at least..... 107% of (1 minute 22.60000 seconds) = 88.38200 seconds

Yeah, and they wouldn’t be able to beg for an exception like cars who crashed out and couldn’t set a quali time, because it’ll be clear they can’t keep up and would be a hazard to other cars.

That would probably be the death knell for the team too, so far their problems are kind of abstract, as the rules for not having slow cars during a race haven’t been enforced ( that I know of ) in such a situation before. Getting locked out of a race might wreck a bunch of sponsor deals and make it much harder for them to raise money in future.

I do think they will make it, though. They are close enough in practice so far.

Out of curiosity, I looked up how far Manor was off the pace in 2016. Their qualifying times were about 4.3 seconds slower than Hamilton's Q1 time, and 1.3 seconds off the next slowest car (well, technically only 0.021 off Esteban Gutierrez's Haas in 20th, but Gutierrez doesn't count).

I'm not exactly a fan of Williams because who the gently caress is a fan of Williams, but it's still pretty sad to see them like this.

When was the last time a driver (not team) failed to make 107% in Australia?

Was it Alex Yoong in the Minardi in like 2001?

Tarso Marques in the Minardi in 2001 was the last driver to fail to qualify at Melbourne purely in terms of pace (not affected by weather conditions or crashes/car problems like Takuma Sato and Charles Pic in later years), although he was allowed to start.

They probably would have, but the 107% rule wasn't used when Super Aguri was around. It didn't get reintroduced until 2011.

edit: Ide was eight seconds off the pace at Melbourne in 2006

Yeah, Massa would have won the championship that year, i.e. the change is cool & good.

Dear diary, today I
became a captain.
Tried to make a gp prediction league,
but the site is down and the app only sporadically works.
Maybe the league is there, maybe it isn't. Looks like they won't make the start of the GP.
It's like the williams of websites at this point.

A good quote from Motorsport this morning:

The one thing we can be sure of is that the midfield is close. So what can we really conclude from today? Probably less than we expected

2019 will be fun if you ignore Mercedes dicking everyone out front again. Some other stuff:
