Dunno about WEC, but Indycar pays points for finishing, so there is an incentive to get it back out there and finish even if they're two laps down by the time the checkered flag drops.

Yes, though that can happen (and has) in f1 too. If there are 10 or more retirees and you can fix the car you'll earn points for it, and to be honest that makes sense.
They just need to clear up the penalty system to avoid something like this, because it just looks silly.

Yeah, just the fact that Checo even being very inconsistent this season is second in the WDC shows pretty much how superior their car is, add to that that in most races Verstappen ended ~15 seconds ahead of the 2nd place, it comes at no suprise that they've won the Constructors
Man i wish that happened to me lol

As much as reaction images aren't really a done things around here I needed to post this in light of the latest motorspot news.
He's back to milk float racing. I mean it's normally the career trajectory for people who quickly fail their way out of F1 but they haven't usually spent multiple seasons there first.

The only series that actually bans going back out after you take it to the garage is Nascar, and it used to be legal for many years there as well until Matt Kenseth decided to go out on the track 65 laps down and intentionally wreck the race leader.
He didn't wreck the race leader, he had an untimely puncture that result in him understeering into Logano

It's going to be a doozy.
My first predictions:
- Alonso to retire; Checo to AM
- Ricciardo to RBR (yeah no shit Sherlock)
- Lawson to AT
- Tsunoda to get a 1 year contract with AT; unlikely to get renewed in 2026
- Hambone to get 1 year contract with Mercedes; will keep malding
- Bottas to retire; Albon to get multi-year contract with Sauber

I agree with these except for the Alonso one, He's still young and talented I don't believe He's retiring any soon

He's the oldest driver currently in F1. By the end of next year, he'll be 43. Not exactly "young" last time I checked.

He is definitely rookie of the year.

I don't have a clue about aerodynamics outside of the basic popscience explanation of it, so as basic and watered down as it possible gets - but according to this wonderful bit of 'tism, if I understood it right that is, the widespread explanation that high rake works the diffuser harder is wrong and may be the opposite?

Didn't he take part in the young driver's test 3 years ago, bet he has a bright future ahead with at least 2 WDCs
My take away is rake decreases peak downforce but is more consistent and increases downforce when the car is going slow and makes the car pointy on the front end.

Pretty much my take away too. I was just pointing out that the popular explanation that's everywhere (reddit/yt) that claims that higher rake cars work the diffuser harder appears to be wrong. It even says it outright:
Also interesting in that the higher rear actually causes some mechanical effects in the way the car loads the rear tires when turning.
