CancerCakes posted:Max is going to disappear into the distance while wingman checo wins the race for him, same as last year. In fairness Bahrain is a circuit Max hasn’t won at, and both RBRs stopped because of engine melting in last year’s race. So. It could happen. It’s the hope that kills you, though.

It’s starting at midnight for me, might watch the start but that’s likely to be it. Might try to watch the whole replay if we get a Certified Classic, otherwise it’ll be highlights this time for me too.

Dante posted:From my uninformed layman understanding of the sport: Newey also has been working in racing since the mid 1980s, so he helped work on ground effects cars back then! I don’t think it’s as much his experience there as the overall “can see the air” genius for design combined with an eye for reading the rules and finding the best way to still get what they need from the framework.

Shift-F1 is good but I’m sure other Formula 1 fans who remember tobacco advertising might have complaints or remember things better than the hosts sometimes. The other one I can recommend is Midweek Motorsports from the Radio Le Mans team, they do talk regularly about Formula 1 on and off the track.

Toyota are now Good at Le Mans, and the Cadillac is quick and has already completed the first leg of the 36 Hours of Florida, but yeah, the odd pole and fast-track to being competitive seems pretty accurate. Should be a fun weekend at Sebring.

Personal Lucubrant posted:For like, actual on-topic lols; remember when Porsche was totally going to be in F1 for real? Somebody decided they won’t get what they want (controlling interest in an F1 team, or cheap re-badging of the Audi lump) so are going to continue in sports cars instead. Inevitable. Also Reddit gets dunked on because it’s the easiest target with even worse opinions than this thread. It’s not really SA remaining spiky, but instead sports posters still remaining the gold standard on god’s green internet. Even in this accursed thread.

daslog posted:Redbull is going to be supplied by Ford engines when the next formula comes along (or partner) . What ever they decide to do, they are going to be midfield at best. Can't wait to see Max sign with Ferrari. No, Red Bull is developing their own engine, it’ll be badged as Ford. They’ve been poaching a lot of people - some from Honda, many from Mercedes - and building up the engine factory. The exact same engine could have wound up badged as a Porsche if Porsche hadn’t insisted on having equal equity in the full Red Bull F1 setup, both the race team and the power train side.

That said, one of the most important, longest-serving engines in F1 history was the Ford-Cosworth DFV, in use for 20+ years and the backbone of the sport for much of that. And that was also effectively a marketing deal for Ford as well, so they have previous

Bryter posted:I’d got in my head that Latifi Sr was behind Dorilton, but I guess not. Surely somebody involved has an F3 failson or something? They don’t genuinely think they’re going to make money off the team? They bought low (buying out the Williams family and other small stakeholders) and F1 has appreciated in value even in the few years since, and there are still multiple groups circling around entering and possibly needing to buy a team. So from their main metric of “we can sell it for a profit” that should be fine.

Residency Evil posted:Otoh, it’s the same guy that directed Senna. Otoh, it’s 8 hours of Bernie. Watched it a couple months back, it’s pretty good. It’s essentially A History of F1 through the lens of Bernie Ecclestone, the stuff in the ‘60s and ‘70s is the most interesting for me. The 2000s sections do get into the whole mess of Bernie’s legal problems, though, which is…certainly something. And hell, we’re in mid-season between-race form if that lamp is making another appearance.

net work error posted:Nobody here will say the truth but I will, endurance racing is the superior form of motorsport. The long form is the best, still. And F1 is weird because it hasn’t always had pit stops, never mind fuel stops, whereas the nature of races like the Indy 500 or Daytona 500 have required it. So that may be why it feels more normal in American racing. Sudden Loud Noise posted:Sorry.

Do MotoGP weekends run with additional air fences that aren’t used for cars at the same circuit? Because if that’s the case then it’s what will stop any of those dreams happening cold. Also there’s almost no way to find enough track time for both series and their ladder series over the course of a weekend.

Only when it’s wet and becomes dry (or vice versa) and riders have to change bikes. Otherwise standard dry races don’t have fuel or tire stops.

Dudley posted:Especially given MotoGP hasn't figured out the concept of having reserve riders being less than 2 weeks travel away so despite Pol being injured in practice for round 1, they didn't have a replacement even at round 2 and the works Honda team got themselves into a situation where they couldn't even field an entry at the start of round 2. I don’t remember the wording specifically but for one or two rounds a team is allowed to not field a bike. So in this case Repsol Honda can keep Marquez out from Argentina and bring him back for COTA. With injuries that are longer term there’s a requirement to have a replacement rider, which is what KTM/GasGas/Tech3 have done for Pol from COTA forward. Tl;dr blame the rules, as usual.
