Mercedes good when you have a track with a 100mph top speed? Makes you wonder why the FIA has stacked the rest of the tracks against them.

Lol knew it.

F1 Live basically quoted Marko as saying this morning that former employees that went to Aston Martin must have walked out the door with copied files, that won't inflame this any.

Williams should tell Latifi to gently caress off this year and hire Nyck. Dude has more than earned his shot.

Dumb question: in a DRS train, why doesn’t the second car trade places with the first more? It seems like they should always be faster.

Also they tend to form in the midfield, where the performance of the cars following might not be quite enough that they can overtake even with DRS

and lol it's one thing using a similar design as Red Bull, I have a hard time believing they'll unlock all the potential the same way though. we'll see, I guess.

Practice 1 in like 30 minutes from now, wonder how many aero rakes Mercedes will be using.
If it gets them off the back of the grid they'll consider it a massive success.

DRS trains form when the 2nd car in the queue has more drag and lower top speed than the first and their DRS just isn't enough to overcome that. The 3rd and 4th cars in the train might be able to pass the leader if they were in that position but can't pass the car in front that also has DRS. All the while the following cars tyres are degrading faster and their components getting hotter.

Yeah honestly every non racing scene could have been straight up cut but there's like 70 minutes of solid 1960s racing.

I assume you measure the left side then the right side and average it but actually idk.

Historically, one of the main problems with this SA thread has been the total inability to ask a serious question and get serious, non-meme answers.

Formula One is Serious Business, so I will give posters in this thread an opportunity to buck that memelord trend, right now.


Q: Why is Ferrari the absolute best and most important team in F1 history, and why throughout history are all the other teams full of fraudulent drivers, designers, and team principals, who historically humiliate themselves nonstop trying to compete against the Scuderia?
