drat how toxic does your team and driver have to be for literal money launderers to be pulling their sponsorship

it sounds like this is part of the cleanup of the money laundering though

quote:

"We are a very good food retailer, but only in the Netherlands and a bit in Belgium. We invest more than 20 million euros in sports sponsorship every year, but I can only spend every euro once. We cannot return the money that goes to Max to the customer, or put it into sustainability or health."

It feels like DTS selects 5 teams to focus on for the season, and then swap out for storylines. I can't remember seeing Aston Martin anywhere in the show and they dropped focus on Williams after two years of "yeah they're still the underdog lol".

No, the pink was because of BWT sponsorship. BWT moved sponsorship from (T)Racing Point/Aston Martin to Alpine (which is the renamed factory Renault team).

Ohhhh ok and Stroll just took his money over to Aston Martin trying to buy a win for his kid. Somebody should make an infographic about this for new folks

It’s a bit mad how there was this expectation that Ferrari would kick on after last year as they only really needed to fix the reliability, and since then you’ve had Aston come out of nowhere after presumably using last year to learn about what aero is, and Mercedes throw a concept completely into the bin and start again and now Ferrari are 4th.

Didn't Aston Martin install a Honda engine? I wouldn't say that's "coming out of nowhere" as much as "buying a piece of red bull dominance"

Well, here's one loophole (of many) closed for the big teams. I would have rather preferred a dictate that any "free" data from "partnerships" be distributed to every team, but forcing the big teams to afford the data is at least a step in the right direction.

Though what's to stop red bull from buying the million dollar research data for $6?

I already do not understand why formula E has human drivers. Make the engineers program AI to whip them around the track and fully deliver the sport to nerds.

Once it's developed well enough, port some real-time driving assists to F1

What wall, Austria is one of the safest tracks to fall off of. The pit wall is the closest danger.

Far more chances of cars running into the backs of each other as they brake late to catch redbull

lmao at Albon explaining that he didn’t know about his track limits until 20 laps later, so by the time he knew he was exceeding track limits, he had already done it enough to get a penalty

He also said the FIA doesn’t have enough people watching footage to alert people earlier

Did his team not know? I thought I heard albon complaining that his team didn't tell him about the black and white until after he hit the penalty

Unless they start painting white lines in the middle of the kerbs or behind them you're going to see these ridiculous situations where the racing line is very literally meant to be out of bounds. Making the sport about who can work out how to take the corner least wrong is dumb and it's why the stewards put their note it has to change.

They took the kurbs out in turn 9&10 in 2020 because teams complained that hitting it so often was ruining their cars

Clearly if Perez is allowed to qualify 2nd, the chance of a first lap wreck between them goes up to 75%. Red Bull is protecting their assets by making Perez start at the back of the grid.

lmao the second verstappen was told he wasn't in first, he opened up enough to beat him in the third sector alone. He's got more pace that he's not flaunting right now.
