If you were meant to use the kerb, then the track would extend that far. QED

Also it's not the racing line if you're going off track.

also, football pitches should have a steep cliff right outside the touch line to discourage any player from ever taking a foot out of bounds

Khablam posted:e.g. in Austria you're actually meant to use that kerb, but the white line is before the kerb - if you use it and the car takes the quickest rotation where it goes widest in the middle, you will be out of bounds every time.

Place a row of Dutch orphans just outside the white line. Either they play by the rules or we win.

they should bank the turns, and if you take it too wide you fly off into the distance

The bits that fall off your car from hitting the kerbs too hard are given to other teams selected at random

Do an inverse of Formula E's attack mode. Line the track with transponders, and disable DRS and ERS deployment for 30 seconds if they leave the track. No, getting pushed wide or divebombed into the corner doesn't matter. Nuance doesn't exist.

If you go over the line you have to pit and swap with your team principal for 2 laps.

TDepressionEarl posted:the tire wall that ate chevrolets was a fine addition to the chicago loop No it wasn't. If that wasn't there, there would've only been a thin wall stopping the track from being a figure 8. Talk about consequences for track limits. You lock up there, you're getting into a head-on collision.

Starbucks posted:Just do what street circuits did and put a wall at the track limits not everything should be a street circuit. also it's a bigger issue for motorcycles but having guardrails right up to the edge of the racing line happened a lot in the 1970s and bounced a lot of cars back onto the circuit into bigger wrecks. There's a reason run-off and gravel traps exist.

"Just put a wall there / just make it gravel" is ignoring why we saw 1200+ violations or near-misses of this one corner, two orders of magnitude more than most race weekend's tally. You smooth brains should try reading my post again and actually understanding it.

More so than this, so people complaining about it are ofcourse Merc Fans - no joke it was literally "Oh it's been 4 laps and the backmarkers are being lapped already" for 6 seasons.

Rinkles posted:Was Mercedes ever quite this dominant during Hamilton’s reign? 2014 was real dumb, yeah. but the difference is Hamilton and Rosberg were closer to 1a and 1b than anything since...hmm. Certainly since the 1990s. There's a reason Rosberg retired after winning in 2016 - he was shot mentally - and a reason why Bottas became the perfect partner to Hamilton - he was quick but wasn't a lead driver in the same way. [edit] the Schumacher Ferrari championships were never challenges in the way 2021 or earlier years for Hamilton were, Prost and Mansell in the Newey Williams were both absolute routs, 1988 of course, a few more. Two of Vettel's four were similar to this or last year. It happens. Khablam posted:"Just put a wall there / just make it gravel" is ignoring why we saw 1200+ violations or near-misses of this one corner, two orders of magnitude more than most race weekend's tally. yeah, the Masi/prior method of dealing with it was better - establishing trouble corners and penalizing harsher for them. the current method of treating every corner equally for the penalties really isn't working. I honestly don't mind that penalties are harsher race to race depending on the circuit, but this kind of rule is better applied with some degree of subjectivity (eg, going wide on turn 9/10 isn't the same as other corners and should be treated as such). harperdc fucked around with this message at 11:21 on Jul 4, 2023 |

Generally because Hamilton and Rosberg drove into each other or had reliability issues because they had to drive 100% to beat the other. Like that Rosberg championship year. They lost 2 races. Spain because the idiots drove into each other, Malaysia because Hamilton's engine exploded while in the lead and Rosberg spun on lap 1. They won every other race. They qualified 1-2 for both the ones they didn't.

Rinkles posted:Was Mercedes ever quite this dominant during Hamilton’s reign? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3UB1UCIge4 (if you can't watch it, they pull out a 7s gap in 2 laps, and it just gets worse from there) Mercedes would deliberately manage their pace even when Hamilton and Rosberg were racing each other. '17 saw some more competition, but they still beat a car whose engine was so roided out it was illegal, then it's only really '21 where there's any season-long competition at all. The most frustrating part for most viewers was even on weekends when it seemed like Merc had completely hosed the setup, they could just unwind some of their sandbags and suddenly be going 5-7tenths faster in Q3. All the while telling you "Oh man we are barely keeping ahead these guys are right with us honest"
