Their initial strategy (later imitated by Racing Point) was so successful they got a lot of poo poo about the originality of their car. Since then they've floundered, perhaps because of a lack of engineering depth or maybe just plain bad design. I don't know, I don't think anyone does outside the team's technical staff.

Their model for running the team was an interesting idea but it looks like Gene Haas has - like so many others - got sucked into the spending black hole F1 inevitably becomes. More staff, more infrastructure and you might as well stick to the traditional model.

Their model fell apart as soon as they chose to base it on a Ferrari.

Some smoothbrain put the full 3D model of the FW43B into the AR app. Link

They pulled the livery out of the app now. As seen here

The idea was that it's an AR app so you hold you phone up and it puts a life-size render of the car in your living room or whatever so you can nerd out about it. Normally for timed releases like this (the actual launch for the car is tomorrow) you're supposed to have an update at the time of release that pushes the actual content.

But Williams gotta be Williams.

Watched some old BBC season reviews on YouTube, and lol at them taking up time in the 2011 show with a segment on the surely glorious future of talented British up-and-comer Paul di Resta.

Also watched 2009, and had completely forgotten about the threatened FOCA split that effectively got rid of Max Moseley. It was mysteriously unmentioned in the official FOM season review for some reason.

F1 just announced that Portimao will be returning this season. Except that hmm, I took this screengrab from the F1 Experiences site a few days ago, even as the official F1 site said it was TBC. Gee, I wonder where the unconfirmed race in mid-April will be taking place?



I guess when you're dealing with people willing to spaff £10,000+ on an F1 holiday weekend, you want the inside track to get their money as soon as possible.

I just like that they slapped a loving winamp skin on their car and was like "yeah this one's for nigel" and the guy's not even dead

like now that old bastard has to uncomfortably waggle his mustache and try to actually sell a statement like "wow thanks team I'm honoured and I know you'll make us all proud" despite the livery clearly having been designed by these peckerwoods after consuming enough cocaine to make the UK parliament look like a sobriety club:

[edit] I got a hold of the 3D files from the AR app dump, it's really cool see how intricately designed every tiny little piece of an F1 car is. This all looks super cool and I wish I understood CFD and aerodynamics better so I could see what every little wing and flap did and why it was there.

Good job Reebus.

It’s not that hard to do cfd you just import the model to the programs and press the mesh buttons.... the problem is that model is so complicated geometry wise you probably need an extremely pricey licensed version to run it in any reasonable timeframe and even then it will probably still crash the program
