In the grandstand at turn 12. Don't have F1TV but thought that might be an option, could always do a week trial for the race if they have that.

That’s where I sat and think it’s a pretty good spot. Be sure to walk around and watch cars go fast from the grass outside turns 2-6. Have fun!

Pretty sure Adrian Newey's greatest regret was that whilst he could build all conquering race cars, he could never claim as many lives as Colin Chapman. A mere shadow of his idol.

I must say, this season I share his sadness.

So I just started DTS S4 and I have a question that I’m sure is dumb. Why didn’t Mercedes use their car from last year rather than build a lovely new one?

Aren’t they (and I mean all teams really) rapidly approaching the point of refining the design to as good as it can really get?

Between 2021 and 2022 there were some pretty fundamental changes in the regulations that meant the cars needed to be rebuilt substantially. Stuff about aero design and the core concepts that keep the car on the road.

So while the car wouldn’t have changed a TON between say 2019 and 2020, their 2021 car would definitely have been illegal in 2022.

Russian clouds are different.

The edit of him beating Mick and Latifi was great, both didn't finish the race.

I'm going to my first race later this year in Austin. Will I want some kind of ear protection for the noise? Also is there some way to listen to team radio from the grandstand? Was hoping to hear Ferrari strategy calls in real time

Austin way too open to need any ear pro. Also the track are fuckers and make you buy special headsets to get any commentary, they black out the local radio broadcast. You can try to listen to a feed on your phone in the f1tv app but cell towers were completely overloaded as was the few places with wifi so I doubt you’ll get anything workable. Austin absolutely set up for maximum dollar extraction from spectators.

Oh poo poo, I'm going to Spa this year and was assuming I wouldn't need ear protection. There will be F1, F2, F3 and I think Porsche Cup as well, should I bring ear plugs for that race? (never saw it)

Only F3 and Porsche are loud enough to need ear plugs and for me that was only in Monaco where you get the sound a bit more held in due to the course. If you are in a more open or set back spot you probably won’t need them but I would bring them in case since cheap foamies are small and you might not already have the existing level of hearing loss I have from a decade of working in datacenters unprotected.

WEC at Fuji last year, sitting in the main straight grandstand was way too loud (especially the Porsches and LMP2s), but in more open spaces was better. I'm taking ear plugs with me this year, might get over-ears as well but the race is in early September and that will be warm still.

Would definitely recommend anyone take ear protection, at least ear plugs, because it's better to have and not need than the other way around.
