Formula 1 Discussion - And favourite driver?

[Lapsus of the bepsus]

Soon enough they'll be driving shitboxes slower than Nascar cars

arent they already?

but at least they would be able to go flat out.

no, this still wont fix the issue of super clipping on long straights.

what a fucking joke. the one and only thing these dogshit cars are decent at is taking corners quickly (provided the erratic recuperation during braking doesnt fuck the driver over). lets take that away, its making the fucking battery shit look even worse than we expected! the cars are somewhat faster than f2 cars thanks to the cornering performance, we cant have that

heads should be rolling at the fia

Gee, I wonder if they want slower cars on purpose (adjusts tin-foil hat).

Slower cars to allow perhaps more 18 and 19 year olds into the sport so you can bring in the younger audience and make those social media blitz. Maybe Bernie's aversion to social media was more than boomer stubbornness.

Or women.

What's with their crusade against downforce? Every fucking year they are reducing it and are talking about reducing it even further the next year.
I want to see cars going 220 mph through chicanes and hair pin turns until a driver's neck snaps. We have GT3 for amazing, mechanical grip limited racing. Fucking F1 leadership should neck themselves and let people with love for engineering and racing helm the sport.

 

[El Chacal De La Trompeta]

they should make smaller cars who can follow eachother. the fact that they dont adress this shit is maddening

 

[ForTheHoard]

What are peoples thoughts on the cars and changes in the last six weeks?

Saw some of the super clipping footage this morning. At one point Kimi was flat out and the car dropped 36 km/h as soon as the battery started harvesting.

I don't know how they continue to be just that good. I was howling at the committee meeting to pit Charles.

The yo-yo running gag was pretty amazing, too.

People who think this is entertaining deserve the current regs.
Anyway:

IMO, Lawson has nothing to lose at this point, in reterospect should have crashed out VER and told the his engineer to fuck off.

Confirmed: They're ditching the 50/50 ICE/electrical split for next year in favor of a 60/40 split. Admittance of the shitshow they've created.

It always makes me pissed when one of F1's awful nu-street circuits puts on an entertaining race. I won't say good, because you can't have a good race with these regs.

That's a good start. It's still not enough. We'll probably still see slowdowns to recharge. The EU dying on the hill of electric cars is something I'll never understand, especially since biofuels already exist.

I actually am happy that Kimi is leading the series right now. It's impressive how young he is and he's not been at Mercedes long enough to develop into a whiny douchebag like everyone who drives for them ends up becoming.

Full disclosure: I'm on the pirate train. I hope Liberty enjoys losing half their casual viewers due to streaming exclusivity. What a joke.
