Stroll feels like the absolute pinnacle of a driver who has zero natural talent or inherent feel for motorsport/F1 but literally every other possible advantage and training from a young age.

He’s what any moron playing a week of iRacing Mazdas once a year can be or picture themselves as, if only they had a rich dad.

I ended up watching the first season of drive to survive and want to check out this season, is the best way just hurl 80 bucks at formula1.com or is there something I'm missing? VPNing into something feels like a pain and I like being able to watch when I have time to watch.

Yes or if you’re US based and have ESPN they carry everything. Except maybe like, Miami made it to regular ABC.

E: If you care about historical races or other content including feeder series, F1 tv is great and worth it, espn will just have the practices, qualification, and race.

This happened to be the weekend I was with a bunch of college friends who had never watched a formula one race and they were all eager to get explanations of the sport as the race happened.

This whole sequence I just had to be like “I’ve never seen this and I have no idea what was going on.” Lol

So uh what did happen there?

Going off of memory, there was a crash that brought out a safety car after just a lap or two of intermediate tire running. The track was drying quickly and everyone knew that even despite the chaos in the pits, it would be better to change tires and take a pitlane start so you’d be on the right tires and not have to take a green flag pit stop.

Lewis was the only driver that didn’t do this and quickly got swallowed by the field and had to pit.

(It may have been going from wet>intermediate and not imternediate>dry, I forget)

Track was wet and parts had some rain on it during the warmup and formation lap but to 19/20 of the drivers it looked like it was drying enough to start on slicks so they ate the penalty of starting from the pit to switch out.

Wasn’t it a standing restart? Or was this the actual race start lol

Alright, finished S2. S3 (2020) predictions.

As this is supposedly the last year to throw money at everything, all the big teams will dominate by throwing even more money at things.
Haas breaks into the top 3
Williams...lol, nah
There's at least one race where it's Red Bull Red Bull Red Bull Red Bull at the finish.
That disgraced Indian trump type guy shows back up with a shadow investor to win his team back.

Incorrect

Don’t try and make these types of predictions from DTS. They literally only show like, 1/4 of the drama within a season because they only have so much footage that they need to make work in the context of their stories. You’re going to miss so much of moves teams actually make other than the like, 4 drivers that they show doing some contract move to another team.

Also like, they make teammates look like they hate each other perpetually. Some do, but there’s a scene with two Mclaren drivers in 2021 where in DTS Lando says “HE PUSHED ME OFF” and it’s edited to look like the two teammates came together.

This is just an outright lie, he didn’t say that about his teammate nor did they push each other there.

I increasingly dislike parts limit penalties from the perspective of “all the teams will eventually take an extra engine or two” - the limits should adjust up if it’s getting to that point.

That said, uh, usually I don’t have to belabor this point by race 2. Thanks scud

The correct thing is to put practice on in the background if it’s live and if it’s over, watch the f1 practice highlights in case anyone had a particularly funny incident. Alternatively just check the thread and see if anyone posted anything.

Saudi Arabia is so bad. The only cool moment we were ever going to get was Max's one qualifying lap two years ago but he loves walls way too much. That lap was honestly one of the most insanely cool laps I've seen, one of the few times that just how close to the edge he was came across in the broadcast. He was absolutely driving at another level. Then he binned it like a moron on the last turn.

The 'best' we can hope for is some shenanigans with the saudis involving f1 in a war and threatening to take away their passports if they don't race (again)

When I played iRacing I dutifully practiced for an hour or more a day on the first track of week one of Mazdas. I qualified great and ended up on pole for my first race. Got off the start great and then got so loving nervous that I spun completely unaided in turn 1.

It’s this. Everyone who likes bojack tries to sell you on 1-2 jokes and then explains that actually this cartoon for adults is very deep and cool.

It’s fine if you like it but stop selling me deep adult cartoons. Real life sucks enough, if I’m gonna watch an adult cartoon I want it to be fun with only the occasional deep hit like Futurama, not some existential bum out.
