Why�s the new timing graphic unreadable

Because F1 actively hates its fans, even beyond the level of contempt most sports leagues have for their fans.

I've just discovered Villeneuve has five kids from three wives. At least one of them should turn out WDC standard. Perhaps he could ask Verstappen Snr for the correct parenting method.

If the new aerodynamic rules really have made a big improvement, there's going to be so much more racing this year and Verstappen will end up crashing in to more people. This will be a good outcome.

I'm confused on the first one. I assume the penalty at the end has to be harsh enough to justify that absolutely noone will voluntarily give a place back

In recent years they tried to avoid handing out penalties (there's a paradox that fans both hate penalties for 'interfering with the race' and hate drivers not following the rules) so where it was fairly likely that the would be a penalty, the race control politely suggested they ought to give back the place. This is just going back to before that, and drivers/teams will need to decide if the stewards will look unfavourably on what happened. Whatever the penalty is, it's going to be worse than giving back the place and trying again.

Expect Max to continue to drive like a arsehole and The-One-For-Left-His-Wife-And-New-Baby to whinge that the drinks company are being unfairly targetted.

How is there still such a huge gap in the field back to the unlapped cars?

With so few laps left, they just let them far enough ahead to resume racing rather than waiting for them to get to the back of the queue.

Fuel injection wouldn't cause Perez's rear axle to lock like that.

My guess would be hydraulics, which could affect both power steering and lock the gearbox.

Seb isn't sick at all. With his new found morality, he's simply refusing to race in countries with poor human rights and a lack of democracy, such as Bahrain or Saudi Arabia. Expect him to also skip Miami and Silverstone.

but he was at the test in Bahrain? and you'd think he would want to be more public about this if it was a stance? I don't see that idea being on the mark, honestly..

He's only newly awoken to the injustices of the world. He's currently in dispute with the team and FOM over skipping races, hence the agreed covid cover story. You'll know I'm right when in the run-up to Silverstone he says "I aint going to Brexitland Bitches. Boris the Toff can suck my finger."

Did they lift Mick out of the car in his seat or did he get out on his own power?

I think in that situation they almost certainly lifted him out even if he felt he could climb out.

Blood money and bribes

F1 avoids bribery scandals by just making it so bribes aren't needed. While FIFA, IOC et al claim to award their respective events to the countries that best deserve it, F1 just runs on an openly 'highest bidder' system where the people deciding also get to play themselves the profit.

They're showing some close-ups of it and it doesn't really look like that barrier, but just a straight block. It doesn't appear to be two walls with some crumpling stuff between it to absorb the impact. I hope it's some fancy tech though, because it looks murderous.

edit: Schumacher is OK physically, news from the Haas team.

Having now seen the replay, I agree.

Looked like Latifi got on the throttle too soon and lost the rear end.

I think the problem was his reaction, where the excessive counter-steer drove himself straight in to the wall.

Supporting Ferrari is passable this year simply because they the only thing to stop RedBull. Just make sure to talk loudly and frequently that you're not a real Ferrari fan, just supporting the less of two evils.

I'm not a bandwagoner. I've been consistent not-tifosi since 1991. The days of Il Leone was the last time Ferrari were acceptable. Also their road cars are ugly. With the exception of the F40 , they forgot how to make sexy cars some time in the 70's.

Aphex- posted:

So why is it a rule that cars have to change tyres at least once? If it's physically possible to go the whole race on one set why not let that happen?

I know why they do change, but why is it mandatory?

Before we had Pirelli we had Bridgestone, who considered it a matter of pride to makes tyres that lasted forever, with no variation in performance. This also happened to be an era of when F1 cars were bad for racing. The two compound rule was a way of forcing pitstops and different strategies.

It was actually 7 dry compounds at its peak, that hilarious period where even the softs were lasting too long so Pirelli introduced 4 different types of soft. Also an ultra hard that I don't think was ever used just so they could say they weren't just focusing on making softer tires.

They still have six dry compounds from which they select the three for use at a Grand Prix. However the colour coding is always red/yellow/grey at a given weekend.
