Its not even the lovely welds that twist my melon, it's that the loving frame rails aren't even close to being mated. I know lol Ferrari is a well established lane for posting but I'm convinced that it is a wreck somebody bought and is attempting to restore on a shoestring budget.

Or maybe some sort of mockup/shell someone was farting around with or just a flat out clickbait troll. There is a good factory looking weld in the upper right.

also quali is a banned word when mentioned alongside sprint so they call it a sprint shootout instead cause we wouldnt want to upset the fragile egos of the drivers

Yes, they feel the need to make it clear that the person who was quickest in qualifying and starts on pole position is in fact not credited with being quickest in qualifying and the pole position is merely illusionary.

If you have a contract that says driver gets paid $X for qualifying on pole as a bonus and you don't call it qualifying then you don't have to pay said bonus, hth

is the format of the qualifier any different than the sprint shootout

Got my mind on doritos and doritos on my mind.

quote:


The Sprint Shootout will follow the same three-session knockout format as usual qualifying, but each Q1, Q2 and Q3 segment has been shortened to address engine and tyre concerns the teams had.

SQ1 has been shortened from 18 minutes to 12 minutes.

SQ2 has been shortened from 15 minutes to 10 minutes.

SQ3 has been shortened from 12 minutes to eight minutes.

The aim is that each car would only have one flying lap in each session, although two runs could be done in SQ1 while SQ2 and SQ3 would allow time for two timed laps without a pitstop in between attempts.

The other significant difference between the Sprint Shootout and regular qualifying will be restrictions on tyre usage.

While teams are free to use any of their available tyres in regular qualifying, in the Sprint Shootout new sets of medium tyres will be mandatory in SQ1 and SQ2. In SQ3, drivers must run soft tyres but they do not have to be a new set.

There's no hype from me pal. I am firmly under the impression that I'll watch the opening lap Sunday before making a coffee with my Hario V60 and freshly ground coffee beans before coming back to the TV and turning on something more interesting after the first pitstop cements the final standings.

I like that there is more racing on sprint weekends but I don’t like that Saturday has nothing to do with Friday and Sunday.

This sport desperately needs NASCAR-style "stages" and playoffs (so Max can win all those, too).

Otherwise enjoyment may require some molly.
