Wouldn't it be fun if F1 had a pool of identical cars to throw drivers in...
That would be an F1 cup…. Where is the fun in that? Lots of cup racing around in different leagues. I always enjoyed very much manufacturer’s competing against each other, they made them use all the same tires. This took already some enjoyment out of it. I think they use all the same engine control units? Turning more and more into cup racing.Wouldn't it be fun if F1 had a pool of identical cars to throw drivers in...
The fun would be that Lewis would see that he sucksWhere is the fun in that?
No love for Goatifi?Not an entire series, just a once-per-year shootout.
In equal cars, I predict VES would win, HAM or RUS 2nd, and PER, SAI or LEC right behind. ALO would be up there as well.
Who is Lewis ??The fun would be that Lewis would see that he sucks
This already exists. Its called NASCAR. One design auto racing is truly like kissing your sisters pet pig. It winds up being a worse parade than what F1 with its unassailable aero has become.Wouldn't it be fun if F1 had a pool of identical cars to throw drivers in...
Well, we're halfway to this prognostication...I'd like to see Seargant at Williams, Gasly at Alpine, DeVries at AlphaTauri, and Mick get one more year at Haas.
If you've ridden motorcycles in the rain, you'll know it doesn't take much speed to keep a clear visor. The spray from vehicles ahead is something else, though. No amount of visor clearing will deal with that, but on the street you just back away a little.Finally from looking through Alonso's helmet-cam, the visibility was much better than led to believe with the camera on the airbox. Not great mind you; but nearly as bad as that camera. Or that's how it looked to me.
Wow. Great picture!!!! Yes, shot. No wonder he blew past the last chicane.If anyone needed more proof on Ferraris tire was gone by the end of the race.

Big believer in RainX or similar products. I still think RainX may be the best as I've tried others. How well RainX works though is definitely part aerodynamics of the car. My GF hates that I never use my wipers and generally when I do, it's because of spray from the other cars.If you've ridden motorcycles in the rain, you'll know it doesn't take much speed to keep a clear visor.

I use RainX on my cars' windshields and rarely ever use the wipers. Anything over 35-40 and they stay clear.
I watched that till the bloody end.
I'm a bit shocked that either half to 3/4 points not awarded. I wanted Max to win as we all know by now; but, I really was greedy and wanted him to win in Austin so I could be there in person. Good thing FIA isn't writing safety critical software.
I disagree on the didn't gain and advantage. Had Charles not had an error, he'd have been 2nd. He totally blew the chicane and again the rules say he had to give that position back. Had he not had the forced error he'd still be in the hunt. Charles makes mistakes that truthfully he should not be making (but I'm glad he does).
Max was on a completely different level yesterday, completely. Enough so anybody even questioning his championships should be ashamed of themselves. My guess is he's going to try to win out the rest of the year to have a pretty untouchable record of wins-in-a-season. It was obvious when he got the poor start and went balls-to-the-wall into turns 1 and 2 at the standing start he was on a different level. All the hate against Max is much like the hate against Senna and Schumacher and even Crybaby (though I actually liked him until he went to Merc). When people are great, people hate - simple as that.
Great race. Ocon holding off Hamilton was brilliant. Too bad we didn't see more of the VET, ALO, RUS battle. Hell, even Lathifi scored points.
Haha, good poinit about Latifi. I hadn't even thought of that.On the Sky Commentary (International Feed) They were counting the laps saying that the race had run greater than half distance. So how many points were to be awarded was being talked about. As long as the rain delay was I am glad that we got as many laps in as we did.
Charles did leave the course limits and gained an advantage under the rules. That has been pretty uniformly enforced this year, and the penalty was correct, and while that made the announcement that Max has won the driver's championship a little anti climatic, at least it was all settled before they got to the podium.
Alpine had a great result, that should take away a bit of the sting from Singapore.
Some great long battles, at times they needed a three way split screen. The tire deg vs the total race distance was a great challenge of driver/car/team strategy.
Latifi isn't 21st in a 20 car championship anymore, he is tied for last, so congrats, it has to feel great to get that monkey off your back.
I don't know about that. It's all to protect hamilto. As Alonso and Fittipaldi said, Sir Crybaby's championships were among this teammates, not the others. Hardly the same as Prost, Senna, or Schumacher. They won't say that because he's protected.Not a hamiton fan definitely not a verstappen fan but that was hamiltons corner, he was ahead and taking the racing line. Max wasn never going to make the 2nd turn from his positioning and speed on the track without running hamilton off the road on the exit had hamilton given him the space, he said in the post race interview he knew there was going to be contact but he did it anyway. The guy is a dick and his racing style is and has always been yield or he's going to crash into you. Hamilton may be a whiney little woke bitch but he can drive and is just verstappening verstappen instead of backing off.
Problem with f1 in the past 30 years is there's rarely 2 teams on equal terms so you only ever see whose got the best car. They should run a side championship in standard road cars that handle like shit that would probably be an eye opener.
This. I can’t give any less of a fuck what some sportsball driver has to say about broader social issues. Give me the song and dance about how you triumphed/lost then give the mic to someone else, monkey.Its not censoring via government it’s criteria put forth by their employer, very different.
Do something on “company time” and there are rules to abide by.
After work, take off your jersey and scream to the moon.
Don’t like it go drive for another series, no one forced you to drive F1 cars.
I believe If you have 2 IG accounts one is Ferrari F1 and the other is Lewis Hamilton etc..
the Ferrari page can be “controlled” by Ferrari rules but on you personal page…no Ferrari “stuff” do what ever you want how you want.
It was awesome to see. I use HAAS machines for a living, and my hometown has their HQ, so I have a soft for them. But, I level my expectations.Very cool to see Alonso back in the fight. There's no doubt he can drive, he just needs a decent car under him.
No kidding. They always seem ready to stop sucking, then they go right ahead and kick themselves in the dick again.I’m a Ferrari fan, and they always depress me.
As long as they have Adrian Newey designing slippery cars they will keep winning.No kidding. They always seem ready to stop sucking, then they go right ahead and kick themselves in the dick again.
RB is on another level. Again.
