Toe Rag posted:how do you account for changing conditions and the order they go out in, though? there's too much of a lottery aspect to a single lap qualifying imo. even with 90s laptimes, that's ~300s per driver (out lap, hot lap, in lap). a lot can change in an hour and a half. You are right, drivers just got boned if it started to rain. “In championship order, drivers would go out one by one on Friday which determined the running order for Saturday. On Saturday, the drivers each went out in reverse order of the previous day's result to go put it all on the line for one lap. To add a strategical element, you had to qualify on your race fuel load. F1 introduced a single-lap format to decide the grid. One-by-one, Friday running would determine the order for a Saturday, and one flying lap the following day would sort the order for the race”

I can’t think of exactly how it would work and probably that’s why I’ve never heard of it but is there anyway that they could do some kind of a shootout qualy? The most fun of qualifying is watching the cars do one lap as close to the edge as they can. The 3 round works for sure imo, but I would love to see some kind of “max did a 1:15.3, now Leclerc has a one shot lap to best it.” This is probably functionally stupid and has a hundred thousand logistical problems (not the least tires) but it’s the coolest sounding. Let me see the last 5 drivers edging out tenths on each other until they absolutely can’t anymore. The sprints suck because they just mostly filter out semi interesting qualy results, and fwiw I think the current qualifying format is pretty good.

Nascar qualifying is boring. At least with F1 there's more than one car to watch on the track during the session, plus there's always racing to the line shenanigans.

Also, McLaren really didn't want to let Are Dan past Lando to have a crack at moving up the grid, even with the suggestion of giving the position back if he couldn't. Has McLaren made copies of Ferrari's strategies this year?

He’s sure of it now: helicopters are drawing near.

Whooo MAX  MAX MAX I think they should reduce the number of laps in the sprint, it seemed a little too long, where the only real thing that happened in like the last 10 laps was Hamilton passing Mick, near the very end DrunkPanda fucked around with this message at 03:32 on Jul 10, 2022 |

I know it might sound mean and controversial but the only Schumacher with a modicum of talent is currently a vegetable, the rest just rode his coat tail to get their spots. Neither Ralf nor Mick would have gone nowhere without their surnames.

So who replaces Lewis at Mercedes when he either retires or goes to another team? Do they get a Bottas style driver that is the number 2 to George? I honestly cannot think of any of the drivers currently on the grid that would fit, that aren't already locked into long term contracts. Maybe Gasly?

I think they were kinda hoping it was going to be Mick. Gasly is the obvious Perez/Rosberg/Bottas/Barrichello/Massa hire I agree. I don't think there's anyone with the possible exception of MAYBE Norris who is in F1, likely to want to join and could challenge Russell. But yeah, long term McLaren.
