Just note that Formula 1 is nothing like drive to survive and you may be thoroughly disappointed at how boring and poo poo it is

Do not deny this man the beauty that is Ferrari Ferraring it up. Or Mercedes doubling down on terrible decisions.

It's different than DTS but there definitely is some drama and entertainment to the actual races.

Also you get to support the main protagonist of Formula 1, Fernando Alonso.

When I used to watch MotoGP, the races usually had like 45 mins of pre-race discussion on the current drama and stuff, is that similar with F1 coverage or do I need to get all that here instead?

I know that D2Survive is edited to be interesting, but it's made me interested in watching the races and like, getting a little invested and stuff.

F1TV does a weekend warmup, qualifying show, and a pre and post race shows. They broadcast those on YouTube as well if you don’t sign up for the service.

Welcome to the nuthouse, couple of guidelines:

- Mercedes and Red Bull are the bad guys
- McLaren is great, but they hosed the car so we’re all taking the year off to root for Aston Martin instead
- lmao Ferrari
- The real drama is in the news that comes out the Monday after a race
- Lewis is only as much of a good person as it plays into his brand
- Zak Brown is both cool and good
- Quid is largely to be ignored
- Rhopunzel is still salty about getting burned like 3 months ago
- Charles LeClerc (the poster) is on his 5th marriage now or something, I think he gets the next one free
- Khablam has a database of thread elder history, you can ask him to flesh out any details I’ve forgotten

Or they'd ignore the whole thing in favour of a manufactured drama between Jarno Trulli and Timo Glock.

Release my children! My hat is truly great and mighty.

quote:

Reports suggest that the engine currently used by Hamilton, which delivers up to three kilowatts more power than Alonso's, may even be transferred to the Aston Martin garage, should the scenario come to fruition.
I do not see this happening ever (would the rules even allow it?), but boy oh boy wouldn't it be one for the ages if it did

It’s to give Red Bull time to develop their cheats if they see something they like on another car

Blame China not getting their poo poo together, they'd slot in between Australia and Baku.

This is probably a long shot, but has anyone gone to Fuji for WEC (or F1)? If yes, do you know if there's camping of any sort like euro or US races? I'm planning on going this year for the WEC race and we were thinking of renting an RV for it (my sis and BIL live in Japan and would take care of that aspect).

Just stay at a business hotel, with the exchange rate you can stay at a reasonable place (toyoko inn is my usual) for 50 or so dollars American a night. The difference between my business trips in America and my trips to Japan are amazing in that in Japan a 2 week stay the hotel is still a third of the plane ticket and in the us the plane ticket is like 2 nights of hotel.

Ferrari if anything needs more Italians. Ducati is absolutely dominating MotoGP and just hires more and more Italians from the University of Bologna, why isn't Ferrari doing this????
