My original prediction at the end of last season was the Ferrari would have the best car but would gently caress up managing two equally good drivers and Lando would end up WDC. I now realise that was incorrect and that the WDC will be Checo as McLaren have made a bin car for bin men.

It is an unfortunate truth that Ferrari seem to be the only legitimate possibility of defeating the fraudulent max and the despicable horner this season. It gives me no pleasure to say this but all right thinking motorsport fans need to support their sexy car with an obviously cheating engine.

Deltasquid posted:

Don't know whether it's true, but a redditor made a post about how Charles was (intentionally?) in 7th gear on the final straight during his fight with Max to ensure Max overtook him right before the DRS detection point so he could overtake again in the following turns. Seems to match up with Charles' post-race interview where he claimed he was happy he managed to bait Max at T1 a few times in a row.

Pretty funny IMO, Charles is a good and clever lad

That rules and it shows how dumb Max is that he did it three times without thinking 'this seems too easy maybe I should wait'

I did not realize that you incur point penalties if you change your F1 Fantasy lineup too much each week. That's annoying

You do? I thought you got a subs bank that lets you swap people around, if there is a points penalty as well it's yet another obtuse feature they haven't really explained.

In class terms are Alpine the best team? Alonso and Ocon are both from working class families (miners and mechanics respectively). May actually be the least problematic driver pairing.

e: also I drive a lexus and I actually enjoy the weird heavy steering that most people complain about.

Blackhawk posted:

Is Lexus steering supposed to be heavy? Toyota is always absurdly light. I drove a BMW m340i recently and in sport mode that's what I'd call unnecessarily heavy steering. It seemed fine in comfort steering and suspension with sport engine and gearbox though.

I don't think so tbh but like whenever I mention I drive a lexus someone is like "oh yeah the steering on those is really heavy and weird". I just find it's nice and not overly twitchy.

I had to drive a vauxhall a few months ago and on top of it having the weirdest gear ratios I have ever experienced the steering was way too light and bouncy.

It should run Q3, Q2, Q1 because that is how the grid numbers work (bigger equals bad).

Also I'm dyslexic so getting things backwards is in my genetics and calling it out is ABLEISM.

If you mean “racing headquarters not located in Britain” then you’re missing Haas, otherwise yes.

So Haas actually run their team from America? I just assumed they would be based in some non descript town in the southern midlands like everyone else

I’m legitimately new to F1 why is Get in there Lewis! such a meme?

(Honestly a F1 Beginner’s Guide head wouldn’t be a bad idea considering how many new folks are watching)

Everytime Lewis get on pole or wins his engineer says "get in there lewis" and between 2014 and 2021 Lewis won something like 80 races so it got said a lot.

Sir Lewis Carl Davdison Larbalestier Hamilton has won at least one race in every formula one season he has completed, even when he was driving a completely dogshit McLaren.

Apparently Red Bull and Mercedes both have cheaty front wings that open to reduce drag on the straights.
