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.

Ferrari had the cool idea to make a good car, maybe Mercedes should have done that.

it set the brake balance fully forward to heat the tires via heat generated in the brakes transmitted through the wheel hub I think

If you've watched last seasons grill the grids, or the Ferrari F1 youtube things between Charles and Carlos, or Charles streaming, then you know that Charlie the Clerk is deep down a loveable idiot.

Which makes it even funnier that he beat Max by outsmarting him (before the engine gave up anyway).

I did not realize that you incur point penalties if you change your F1 Fantasy lineup too much each week. That's annoying

You do? I thought you got a subs bank that lets you swap people around, if there is a points penalty as well it's yet another obtuse feature they haven't really explained.

Thought experiment. If max and Lewis switched cars last year, what would the difference have been?

seeing a lot of poo poo posting about the papaya bois. like a real fan only runs with them in success.

which is why Ferrari fans are the most honorable (after papaya fans of course), having stuck with them the last 15 years of poo poo, to finally see some redemption now.

If McLaren can't make it this year, I find solace in Ferrari and even more solace in RB loving it up.

I think Max would’ve still won wdc, the Merc was faster after summer break. Lewis would probably have had a harder time adjusting to the RB, which is supposedly harder to control.
