be nice wicka posted:yeah but GSK isn't on mclaren's partners site and that decal was put on between friday and saturday. just came out of nowhere. and i think they mostly work with mclaren applied technologies these days. Yeah they just needed a key product to place there, there's a lot of internal poo poo that goes on.. Sensodyne won i guess Trust me they always have McLaren videos and stuff on their brand site

Payndz posted:Time for a reminder that the cheapest (legal) way to get Sky F1 is to pay £27.50 a month (on top of whatever other subscriptions you're paying) for a sports package - that's an extra £330 a year, more than twice the licence fee. gently caress Sky. It stinks, but you get 2 sky go accounts with that, so if you have a sports mad (football) relative, get hooked up

Does Bernie not see how well motoGP does it with their subscription based multi-screen and is he seriously that disconnected with modern reality that he can't see how much money is on online subscriptions?

El Hefe posted:If it had been detected on time he might have recovered, he also went two weeks without knowing he had a broken rib in which time anything could've happened. There is no magic recovery for cracked ribs, recovery is same as for bruised ribs only longer 4-6 weeks so he may not be racing at the next one either (I cracked mine over New Year and was still feeling it come February), if they had broken ie splintered they'd have seen it straight away and he would certainly have known about it

learnincurve posted:Yes. The timeline is being a bit warped in this thread. We know he went to the medical centre after the crash, but was out in the paddock 20 mins later. He flew back home to Abu Dhabi sunday night but the pain in his ribs was getting worse so he went to the hospital on the Monday. They detected the pneumothorax (collapsed lung) and rib injuries on x ray. He was told to rest and went back the next (this) Monday and was told his lung was cleared but his ribs were still fractured. Fractured means snapped and does usually show up on x-rays, cracked means they are split and weakened which is the more common injury as ribs are quite bendy and can easily be missed. He was then very surprised on Thursday when the FIA said no you can't race with fractured ribs. Still 4 - 6 weeks though regardless

learnincurve posted:They won't give an x-ray unless a patient complains about pain in an area , is unable to complain about it, or has bruising/anomaly in the lung. The problem here is that he was high on adrenaline which is a natural painkiller so he may not have known if he was in pain or not. The massive problem I have with this is that in any medical examination after a crash the patient has to remove their shirt so that you can listen to heart and lungs with a stethoscope. A fractured rib should display significant bruising in the rib area and a pneumothorax will be clearly audible as your lungs will be gurgling. Lungs are not supposed to gurgle. Is this a problem with a driver telling the medical staff gently caress off I feel fine and the staff not feeling that they can stand up to him, or just complete idiocy. This is pretty much what the hospital said to me they don't normally xray, but sent me for one due to the impact area... thankfully nothing too bad

simplefish posted:I wasn't trying to turn this into Incapacity Olympics, I was just drawing a parallel between the two, because unless I'm wrong (not sarcastic, I could well be) a broken leg should get you medically disallowed from racing, surely? And so posters are sitting in this thread like "oh yeah they should have seen the ribs thing" but apparently track docs can manage to miss a friggin broken leg? Which should be rather more apparent Well for one you would have difficulty walking

learnincurve posted:The problem is that they do currently have two dictators, Bernie and Todt, and they are both batshit insane, power hungry, out of touch with what the fans want, don't care what the drivers want, don't care what the teams want and seem to be living in the 1980s. Right now no one can vote on anything that those two don't propose. This is why they keep giving teams a choice, vote for something really out there or vote for the thing they want to get though. If they wanted to they could say things like "vote for a reverse grid or vote for a knock out qualifying" or " vote to keep knock out qualifying as it is or vote for a modified version" and then when teams refuse to do so they can act all innocent and go "it was the team's choice! We were willing to work with them but this inability to make decisions is why we need more power!" It's the way it's always been, Bernie wants X, proposes Stupid Y, X seems more reasonable compared to Y wash, rinse, repeat

Why is it dumb? it's in the rules, they are there for a reason, mind I got mad at Guy Martin getting a penalty for doing 0.122kph over the speed limit in the TT, but its the rules.. don't break them, you're fine
