Hello friends I've not been here in a long time. What happened to El Hefe? Did he ever get out of Venezuela? McLaren are poo poo. Williams are poo poo Mercedes is the most poo poo.

Thread canon is that El Hefe is dead, but in reality he's probably just having a lovely time either having fled the country or continuing to work for private security like he was last time he was around. Either way I don't think he really has time/interest in SA, and definitely not F1 without either Maldonado or Alonso. McLaren are less poo poo than they were Williams are somehow worse than poo poo Mercedes are making GBS threads on everyone else

GramCracker posted:i wonder if our poo poo posting can power his robotic spine Not really. There is speculation and half a dozen of F1-nerd videos which kinda proof that Ferrari seems to have a PU problem. There are rev-drops during the straight where there shouldn't be any. Grosjean during quali radiod' something like "I have trouble with SOC" (=> electric system), Raikkonen radiod' something in the means of "I think the K is bad" (K might be either old-school KERS or specifically ERS-K), and onboard shots of Vettel changing some poo poo on the SOC switch after the "why are we slow?"-radio. There are couple of onboard vids both during quali and race where you can hear the revs dropping about 2/3 of the straight, so maybe Ferrari has a PU problem in regard to the ERS, but who knows? There's tons of spit balling about front wing poo poo etc., but nothing I'd deem "worthwile" before we see at least another couple of free practises and maybe a race or two. There is a totally professional speculation of my own, though. Looking at the Williams more and more, I am quite sure they somehow messed up the options menu of the software that calculates the load bearing on the car. Every single piece of them looks like it's 2.54 times as thick as it actually has to be. Maybe Mercedes didn't tell them they measure poo poo in the metric system.... e: also, regarding that spine, there is already a thread goind on that - if the goons fund it - it must react to goon inputs, kinda like the twitch darksouls interactive stream. Like QWOP-lowtax. And I am kinda sure QWOP-Lowtax would beat QWOP-Uwe Boll. tuo fucked around with this message at 14:26 on Mar 19, 2019 |

Also: there is speculation going on about the green light on the left on Ferrari's rim/steering wheel. It ain't DRS activation zone, neither DRS active/inactive, so some people (who might or might not work for other F1 teams) said that that's the light for "lift and coast". It also ain't in the cluster of flag lights. People who know more than me say that if that is true, the PU truly has a problem, because it came on much too often, and would further mean the PU needs electrical charge. That's the gossip I read. I still think it's mostly just Vettel is poo poo, and Ferrari is poo poo, but somehow the forums won't accept that as a viable input.

General consensus re Ferrari seems to be cooling issues that didn’t materialize in testing from the sources I’ve seen. Pretty much means the season is gone given the limited number of engines.

If it's simple cooling issues, it would be rather easy to fix without loving up too much of the aero. If it's major cooling issues (which means repackaging all the poo poo) it would be a much harder fix, as they'd need to redesign most of the coke bottle, which might gently caress up a lot of aero going to the rear wing and the diffusor. I'm quite sure it's just Ferrari, so it's a bit of everything, plus a shity driver. But I will hold my breath until China.

Probably the most reassuring thing about McLaren going forward is that everyone of note in the technical hierarchy has been hired from Red Bull and Ferrari and not promoted from within. Obviously Pat Fry was at McLaren for a long time before Ferrari but I'm still going to count it.

Just FYI, fellow F1 dislikers, I started watching some of the Hong Kong EEE PREEEE (Formula E slang for "a race") and it's loving awesome. 5 seasons in to this new sport (I don't put the word sport in quotes because it is in fact less fraudulent than F1 or soccer) and still none of the drivers appear to know how to drive. They've designed cars that look vaguely like open wheel cars but are in fact stock cars so they just bang into each other for 50 minutes. And the circuits are such universally awful narrow street courses with walls on all sides that they spend the whole race at full lock on the steering bumping over hairpin curbs at segway speed. And also they have actual commentators for the broadcast and they put entire races up on youtube. Racing of the future, friends, I highly recommend it. I think I was being sarcastic through some of this post but Formula Pee is genuinely fun to watch.

I’m honestly putting it down to Vettel and some relatively fixable issue. I won’t be satisfied until the team lets LeClerc actually race Vettel. That said somebody missed some pretty giant stuff in testing. Shameful if its something as testable as a cooling problem.

The cooling issue is very Italian and hopefully they solve it in an Italian manner by using pasta based radiators or something.
