just “watched” the Spanish GP

and by watched, I mean watched the first two laps, and then skipped to random points ahead until the end. All told, took about 10 minutes.

10/10, would recommend as a way to watch F1

so that's why he was saying to not even think about making progress this year, he probably has 100% of his resources trying to fix that shitbox for next year

The most amazing part of that video is that he initially tries to be like "look these were different angles" as if there wouldn't be a glaring deficit in design from some other angle before just coping to their floor being poo poo at the end.

I mean it sorta? maybe? worked for Haas 2021 > 2022. They had an alright car last year at the start.
It's still funny as gently caress though.

I think the preferred bad pun nickname is Dick Tantrum.

there are lots of good lads meaning well in Formula E, Rene Rast might be purely the fastest but he also slagged off Formula E in an interview last year before getting hired back in for this season :xd: otherwise it's a lot of "oh I've seen him in sports cars" and fewer F2/F3 burnouts.

Williams should go all in and just make a reality show of every aspect of car and driver development. no secrets. no other team is going to do that and they have nothing to lose. people would love it.

might as well, nobody is going to copy whatever they come up with. Hell, make it a youtube series and take suggestions on the design from randos in the comments.

S2E2: I liked Magnussen and felt bad for Grosjean is S1 but they are starting to annoy me.

The Rich Energy guy gave off big time Ponzi Scheme/Elizabeth Holmes vibes. Him bailing after only one payment is the least surprising thing in the show so far.

A crowd-source engineered car would surely do at least a little better than where they're at

I went back and forth between bitcoin bro and Ponzi scheme to describe it.

as the only american in the thread who didn't start watching F1 because of DTS, does the first season talk about Marcus Ericsson at all considering it was his last year in F1 or was he as anonymous on it as he was for most of his F1 career

I can’t remember but also that first season was much more focused on a few teams (and all the better for it, IMO). I don’t think Sauber/Alfa was one.
