Yuki isn't a bad driver, but he's been promoted very quickly to F1. I said it last year, if this was the 1990s, Yuki would be the kind of driver made to test cars five days a week around Europe all season, or go to IndyCar for the year to get racing experience. He just needs more experience, and it's difficult to justify that while also taking an F1 seat. But it's more for F1 teams to stop loving promoting 20 year olds into F2 and then F1.
on the other hand there's literally a 20 year old who was the runner-up in british f4 in 2017, won the french eurocup in 2019, won f3 in 2020, won f2 in 2021 and doesn't have a f1 seat in 2022. Meanwhile Kevin Magnussen just signed a multi-year deal. There's a lot of talented 20-year olds, but pay drivers and washed-up champs are hogging a bunch of seats. And also KM for some inexplicable reason. If anything more young talent should be promoted and given a shot.

Semi serious question. Since he is on the shorter and lighter side of things, does that affect the weight and balance of the car and possibly turning ability?

Do they add weight to the car to account for this?

IIRC, there's a minimum weight to the cars and if the car plus driver is under that weight, you have to add ballast to it to make min weight? But I believe there's flexibility around where the ballast is located, so you have some choice in how the car is balanced.

I might be wrong, but I believe that's how it works.

it used to be very beneficial to be a smaller driver for weight distribution, because a) your centre of mass is lower and b) you could put more ballast where you needed it to make minimum weight. A few seasons back they changed the rules because it was kinda unfair on taller drivers, so now the car and driver+seat have their own separate minimum weights and the ballast placement is much stricter.

There’s a site you can use to compare F1 teammates from 1980ish til now. Just did Carlos and Max in 2015. It’s pretty interesting, they’re super close on speed (Max .06% per lap faster average quali pace, .01% in a race). Max got more points, but Carlos beat Max 6 to 5 in races they both finished. Very cool site, google f1 teammate comparison, forgot if we can post links here.

ah we have another Australian poster, good to have ya mate.

[edit] this is also a failure of Renault in particular, because they do not have a second team to try and trick into taking a young driver. It's almost like F1 needs more teams on the grid :thunk:

F1TV now allows you to either join a live broadcast or star from the beginning even if it’s in progress. I don’t think it did that before.

Spent the last couple of days watching all of the episodes of Jolyon Palmer's Analysis: Classics on F1TV.
9 episodes, each with one of three guests (Damon Hill, Jacques Villeneuve and Pedro de la Rosa) taking an in-depth look at a race that the guest competed in.
Good stuff, lots of anecdotes.

There's one sample clip on the Youtube channel - the full episodes are 30-50 minutes long.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ec00evPufMI

also lol'd at the "ACTIVATE WINDOWS" warning that was there for the Damon Hill episodes:
