Brainwrong posted:F1 is dead in the UK I grew up watching F1, largely because it was one of very few sports that stayed free-to-air when Sky started doing massive grabs for exclusivity in the late 80s/90s. These days Sky TV falls freely onto my computer somehow, but I feel for the kids who can't watch F1 whilst mum makes the Sunday roast  RIP my childhood (in a small way)

Started playing Motorsport Manager and in trying to change tyres to get to the end of the race without stopping again, ran across the problem of only two tyre choices. Hard - too slow. Soft - won't last. There is no medium. I'm suggesting Ferrari play this game.

My general impression of seeing Lewis on British TV is people kinda like him, but are mostly indifferent. On the rare occasion Schumacher turned up people would lose their poo poo. You also couldn't go anywhere when I was a child without seeing something about Mansell somewhere, but the sport was pretty massive in the UK at the time so it's not a truly fair comparison. I think Lewis is about 20% as famous as he thinks he is.

wicka posted:it is so incredibly stupid that they couldn't tell him how to fix the car. easily the worst change this sport has made in years. contributes nothing until it handicaps a driver for no reason. It benefits the sport on every single lap where a driver is making his own decisions on what to do with his car, not 20 people running simulations and min/maxing things like its a loving shuttle launch. Drivers are handicapped when they haven't taken the time to work out how their car works. Seems pretty fair.

You can make an argument that there's a lot of modes and it might be awkward, but having to tell a driver how to avoid a gear is clearly babbying drivers who should learn basic ideas like changing gear. Fraudberg.

Norns posted:Man even as someone who thinks Nico is garbage. 10 second penalty for violating a rule that shouldn't exist loving sucks. The penalty was because he needed help being told how to change gear. Even after being told such, he managed to ignore the advice and jam it in the broken gear. He's also (one of) the drivers who needed constant coaching that led to the ban in the first place. Fraudberg brings it on himself.

nsaP posted:Avoid is not clear. He has two options, shift past it, or only go to 6th. That's what he was asking. Heaven forbid the driver should need to work out how to drive a compromised car; the hallmark of 'great' drivers in the sport since forever. Many drivers have finished a race with a sticky gearbox by working it out themselves. It was absurdly obvious even from the HUD on the broadcast it was sticking in 7th both ways.

I hope the broadcast director just makes the audio of each race non-stop Fraudberg asking how to change gear.

It's freakishly true to life how bad fraudberg is in that game. The race after he becomes my 'rival' he runs me wide on the last but one corner. He eats a 10s penalty and finishes 6th for it.  e: ^^ he was actually turning the wheel in that clip. Immersion ruined.

Given "random grid orders, lol! Make the best teams start at the back!" was one of the dumb Bernie ideas, I doubt there'll be any traction against Mercedes deliberately starting poois from the rear.

thegasman2000 posted:What pisses me of is every loving race the commentators state there is about a 1 second differential between the soft and super softs. When you average it out over a few laps, over different car setups, cars and drivers, I'm sure the deviation means saying 'about a second' is a perfectly acceptable piece of nomenclature. Seriously you might have the 'tism if you see 1.11s and think WELL THATS NOT ABOUT A SECOND AT ALL.
