Engine noise something something something. Tronchetti Provera (Pirelli Chairman) reckons we'll see a reduction in laptimes by 4.5 secs next year (2.5 from the new tyres, 2 from the aero). Impacts (I think): Following through corners will be tougher given the need for clean air More fuel burned (assuming: longer acceleration periods, more drag due to higher speed) Physically harder on the drivers (higher corner speeds, more g's) Will this make the cars harder to drive and make the driver a more important part of the equation? Will it shake up the pecking order? Was this a knee-jerk to all the bitching about lap times from the drivers/commentators and minority of fans? Does any of this make F1 a better product?

Carth Dookie posted:TBH I'm pretty sure that's why Ricciardo is always smiling. He's got the sense to realize that even if he's having a poo poo weekend or even a poo poo season, he gets to be an F1 driver for millions a year instead of working in retail or as a drone in a cubicle somewhere for peanuts. He's from Perth, he's happy he's not driving a truck around a minesite, ducking drug tests to sustain his meth habit and getting eating by sharks on the weekend. #justanotherdayinwa

I thought the race was entertaining and would like to see more tom foolery in the future.
