Charles Leclerc posted:Apparently you get a hard ban for asking why Naomi Schiff is on Sky's revolving roster of dogshit pundits. Naomi's only problem is she's one of those interviewers who asks a question then for some reason keeps talking for 30 seconds. eg "Checo do you believe that incident was your fault?......because in 1994 a similar incident was judged to be the fault of the driver in front and that driver went on to win 3 races, also I was working in finance at the time and my mate Dave said that it had precedent in the following 9 decisions made in 1954.... oh sorry we're out of time back to you Ted".

tuo posted:Doesn't the whole electronic and electric part (ECU, Battery etc.) come from McLaren? Or did this change with the current regs? I seem to remember that at least at one point the electronics and battery package was supplied by McLaren Technology or however that part of the company group is called. Or was that only the display unit for the steering wheels? You may be confusing it with Formula e where Williams and McLaren have both supplied stock parts.

I just did an F1 race in VR and Max went out on lap 1. Ok the race was at Silverstone. And last year's car. And it was Mick Schumacher he hit but I think you'd agree this is a 100% nailed on prediction. Also I passed Lance Stroll at Copse, proving he is dogshit.

refleks posted:how are these rules so ambiguous. get your poo poo together. I like the idea that if you agree something isn't against the rules it magically isn't. Maybe Logan should do 50 laps on Saturday and then claim he agreed that didn't count as a jump start and thus he won the race by 24 hours.

harperdc posted: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. This is the problem really, Dorliton's plan seems to be "Sit there" so they won't spend anything more than they can grab from external sources and the goal is just to keep the team from actively falling off the back of the grid. While we're only allowed 10 teams (and the fact that one of the world's premier motorracing teams and a major manufacturer isn't good enough suggests we are) then they have an asset.

Anime Store Adventure posted:I remember an actual F1 strategist on maybe a Reddit ama(?) saying that refueling never added any interesting strategy from his point of view, because it functionally capped any potential strategy to a maximum number of laps instead of having opportunity for drivers to extend stints and make new strategies viable. He's right refuelling does exactly 2 things. 1 - Makes all tyre changes the same time because it's fuel limited. 2 - Means every car is basically the same the entire race and there's no worn tyres (because you'll hit the fuel first and can't extend stints) and not burning 100kg fuel (because at most you'd put 50 in). So you've removed 2 of the biggest variables in the sport to gain a small chance of an exciting fire. It actively makes racing worse even if overtaking is marginally easier now. No-one will try outlandish strategies because the quickest one will almost always be obvious.

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.

So in this case Repsol Honda can keep Marquez out from Argentina and bring him back for COTA. It's a surprise you need rules though. You'd think it'd be in their interests to have a bike out there.
