Ferrari seems to have by far the best acceleration out of corners, some sort of illegal traction control engine mode??? Watch this space for a protest

Also it seems clear from the onboards that Max* and Checo's engines failed in the exact same way (and unrelated to Gasly?) but the engineer seems pretty genuine in not knowing wtf is going on. You'd think if it was fuel or mgu or whatever they'd see something? What the heck happened to those engines?????

the drivetrain doesn't lock up because the engine runs out of gas. Those engines went kaboom in a big way.

Foxtel has announced a multi-year rights extension with Formula 1 which will keep Fox Sports and Kayo as the exclusive home of every practice, qualifying session and race in Australia.

And in a major boost to fans, Foxtel is set to bring the innovative F1TV app to set top boxes - free of charge.

Copied from a Reddit post:

quote:

An email from F1 fantasy- “The current position with Nico Hulkenberg driving the first race of the season and Sebastian Vettel due to return shortly has introduced some additional complexity to the dynamic pricing structure, which we have been working on. We expect this to be completed later today or tomorrow, at which point driver and constructor prices will begin updating. We understand and appreciate fans' anticipation for the start of the Formula 1 season, and with it the start of dynamic pricing and sentiment bar changes. We are also very keen to receive feedback about how we can continue to improve the F1 Fantasy experience. In this particular case, we ask that you understand the knock-on impacts that unforeseen events can have.”

I suspect they took a shortcut in simply replacing Vettel's name and image with Hulk's instead of adding a new driver, and now they're reaping the consequences.

How much of performance do you guys think is the driver, and how much is the car?

I lean towards about 60% car-40% driver but I would like to know what others think.

Just to reiterate that Max deserves everything that happened, and it needs to happen repeatedly.

It’s true he did deserve his WDC last year and should have many more in his future. At least 1 more than Lewis finishes with.

It might be more worthwhile to assess how much potential a driver is capable of getting out of a car. Your numbers seem kind of arbitrary imo. A car can't go anywhere without a driver and vice versa.

For some reason this reminds me of the Australian (or Canadian?) gp a few years back when the camera kept panning away from racing action and instead randomly zoomed into the crowd repeatedly

Welcome to the thread!

First off you should get a primer on the thread for people to ignore:



2. Mercedes supporters. Easily the most tedious of the bunch. Medcedes has dominated the sport for the last 7 years and gifted Lewis Hamilton 6 of his 7 WDC's. Because of this, this group believes Lewis to be the 2nd coming of christ just because he can open DRS and pass the entire field on the straight. They're all very quiet now because Mercedes has been fairly mediocre lately, but they're a good team so by the European leg of the season they should be back near the front. Mercedes has ruined the sport for the better part of a decade. You'll see this group throwing around a lot of asterisks like a bunch of entitled Karen's because they're still salty about something that happened 3 months ago.


I'm not sure you'll find a single Mercedes supporter in this thread tbh

Plenty of lewis fans as he's cool and good but I'm not sure many of us gave a poo poo about the team itself

There might be the odd toto fan though

Mercedes are the only ones doing crazy stuff like DAS and sidepod zero and they even were so good at engine maps f1 changed the rules because they were so good at it. Until another team comes out with cool ideas I will continue to think Mercedes are cool and good.
