Totally not the issue. It's the grey area around resource allocation

KTM went from being actively opposed to aero in MotoGP, having terrible/barely any aero on the bike to this year magically they jumped to having the one of the most sophisticated aero on the grid. Coincidentally it's an Austrian company sponsored by Red Bull. If you have a team that rotates between working on MotoGP aerodynamics half the time and then F1 the other half is it really fair that only 50% of the salary counts towards the budget cap? They're still working on aerodynamic concepts they can apply to the F1 car in the time they're not on the F1 project.

sounds like red bull should be banned from all motorsport

In Mypos, only the strong survive.

I started a career mode on F1 2018 for XBox One because I saw it for $10. I'm a binman for Williams and I can't quailfy better than P20 after trying for at least an hour. If you make zero mistakes it seems like end up P1, but if you make any mistake whatsover, to include breaking when you should have taken a turn at full speed you are P20. But I guess crashing and sucking in a 2018 Williams car is very realistic.

“I don’t want to comment too much. But I was holding the revs and then with four lights I have to go full throttle because I had no response from the engine. Then with the lights off I had literally zero power, so I had to do a pull away. I have to release the clutch, everything. Really disappointed of course, need to see what happened, something went wrong.”

Can anyone explain what Zhou means by “pull away” here?

The normal pull away that cars do on the formation lap or when queuing at the end of the pit. Not the one that dumps a ton of load through the clutch and maybe spins the wheels up.

Ferrari being true stalwarts of honor and integrity in motorsports plucked out the eyes of everyone who worked on the 499p before reassigning them to design the Purée Sangria.

I've done a deep dive into the results and it seems like Ferrari had realized that the great sport of Grand Prix Motor Racing is dead and are concentrating on real racing like Le Mans instead. Good move

I think F1TV have just collected a bunch of IP ranges that VPN services use and blocked them rather than doing anything more clever.

I am reminded while Hungary puts on good races sometimes it generally is an extremely bad track.


Paradoxically, Piquets move on Senna in the 1986 GP is my favourite ever overtake.

Also the “all engines are equal now and it’s all aero” is almost certainly horseshit. Renault might be as much as 30HP down, the Mercedes-Benz has harvesting issues, and whatever Ferrari’s power advantage was Honda closed it.

The GTP cars are being loving bodied by the Hypercars nearly every round. I don’t think the Cadillac or any of the Porsches have even finished on the same lap as a winning Toyota or Ferrari.
