Thats an extremely weird word to be censored and removed. But yeah was supposed to be a book of sports.
1st year with the changes, imagine that's going to go on til Summer break.
The racing is so fun to watch this year, but there are clearly some issues that we may see all year long. I believe that is 7 cars who were DNF in first two weeks due to engine failure of some sort.
I am sure they do n hindsight, but in 2018 Honda was not effective, and frankly there was no sign that they would be. It was Red Bull's involvement that pushed them over the hump. The biggest thing I look at is that the red bull car including the Honda engine is strong, but you can't just slap an engine in and it solves for everything. One interesting thing that factors in a lot this year is fuel. Seems Shell is ahead of the game on how to manage the fuel..
Fernando is also on Amazon Prime its free, Williams is on there too but it cost money. Senna is on there, is real good highly recommend. Schumacher is a must watch as well, made me feel so bad for Mick, he seems like a real good kid and that situation just sucks. I thought Crash and burn was meh... probably not worth the $.
HAAS is bound to come back to earth. They have speed, b ut they will struggle to deliver upgrades at the scale of other teams. They don't have a backup Chassis which shows how lean they run. Ferrari was fast as expected, but they were porpoising big time in FP2. Charles Leclerc always seems to push the limits in practice and quali. He always seems to be having spin outs and incidents. I followed some of the in car views and it is fascinating to hear that some of these laps that we all sit at home and compare are not at all comparable. We have no idea what their fuel loads are, and at times they are simply testing engine modes. So much goes into these tests. Now the final times certainly haver a lot to compare and are pretty indicative of the pace of each car/driver.
Yeaa I wish I didn't convince the girl and my east coast brother to do the same. Hopefully I can keep them engaged for this weekend, though the schedule looks a little rough again.
One of the biggest cry babbies about the "white Ferrari" is the architect behind the "Pink Mercedes". Its cringy. Yes I see where other teams could get pissy that HAAS has an office in Marinello and took in a ton of ex Ferrari employees who had to be let go because of the budget cap, but look at Redbull and their Jr Alpha Tauri, or Merc and Aston. Theyre not suppose to share but they all clearly have back channels.e It's fine, just pure saltyness. And if you also add the performance of Alfa I think a lot has more to do with Rari just hitting the PU dev outta the park.
The sprint races are alright. It gives me 3 F1 mornings instead of 2 (quali/sprint/race) so I'll always take that.
What's fustrating is that supposedly F1 is waiting on Porsche and VW to make a decision on entry and has told Andretti they have to wait on that, but they're apparently just shopping for a current team. I'm all for putting more teams back on the grid, and I don't see how any fans wouldn't also want that. Adding to 2 more cars and 2 more driver seats needs to happen.
Yeah, I think that's the problem too. The grid would start to be a mess if they expanded to 12 teams so I think adding one and someone buying 1 is about right. There were 11 teams when I started watching so not a big deal there.
Was just about to comment, quali looking real exciting. They're all so dam close
