There should be enough resolution on the HD and 4K feeds to include the team logos in the graphics, the SD feed could run with colours-only.

Imagine biking gross.

Rowing now that's the real sport.

Rowing is the One True Sport, but biking is a close second.

This thread inspired me to take my bike for a spin today. It’s still cold, but sunny and dry, so it was pretty good. I used to row when I was younger and I agree, rowing is the best sport.
I played water polo too, but find it boring to watch today. It’s fun if you enjoy tucking your junk into super tight rubber speedos, I guess.

What does an oil company like Petronas get out of sponsoring an F1 team? What do they need the marketing for?

If they need to bribe a government official they can pay for them to have a holiday going to an F1 race and hanging out in the paddock and write it off a business expense.

F1's better than most of the other things they're known for

Companies of that size budget billions for marketing out of habit and then need to spend them. Also, Petronas has retail outlets and competes with others in the market for consumer attention. The executives probably also treat themselves to “important business trips” to Monaco or wherever when F1 is in town.

Get a smart trainer and get yourself on Zwift. It's a loving hoot. Really good for those weather-limited days.

I've made a huge mistake.
If it's anything like the last engine freeze, they're be allowed reliability improvements until mysteriously all the engines have fairly equal performance...

I don't remember who said it, but that was famously true of the Renault V8 RBR were using. The engine from the end of the freeze had little commonality with the one at the beginning. A lot changed at the top end.

McLaren launching in 2 hours on the official F1 channel, which has to be a new thing. I wonder if more of them will be centralised. I vaguely remember talk of a launch event for all 10 cars, but I guess they may be saving that for 2022 with all new designs and hopefully no covid.

Half the teams seem to go with a rendered livery launch and then just show up at testing with the new car which is very dull compared to the launches of yesteryear.

I haven't been able to watch anything on the official f1 youtube in a couple of months. it's just saying video unavailable with no more info so google is useless. eventually I'll get fed up enough to contact support since it's the only channel doing it to me.

That's fascinating and I wonder what it looks like inside RBR. They're going to start making their own engines now, in the UK? That's a huge extra investment. Are they just manufacturing to Honda blueprints? Are Honda loaning any people to consult on it? Does RBR have the people and resources to continue development at the level Honda was doing?

Basic driver interviews. Although its like the camera man was being directed by someone from the Bourne series of movies with a heap of unnecessary shakey cam.

They are now talking to one of the Mercedes engine guys about how hard it is to switch to a new engine.

Merc engines have about 700 employees that run 24/7. Can produce an engine part every 7 minutes.

They are showing off their timing stands that they will be shipping around the world now.

They look pretty great. They have finally introduced air conditioning units into them.

They are also actively avoiding showing any of the new car, while they show off all the going on's in the pits at Silverstone in preparation for their shakedown/filming day tomorrow.
