Upgrades aren’t exactly revolutionary these days. For the masses, there little difference between a 2021 and a 2023 flagship. Also everyone is skint.
Mercs are nowhere. :(
Take a look at tomorrow’s weather for Silverstone… 😬
Bit of a false dichotomy comparing Moto GP and F1 really.
WEC has banned warmers, there have been complaints about it, but they’re largely getting on with it. WRC prohibits them.
We should have a season long test without tyre blankets to determine the impact of the rule change.
I don’t necessarily think that cold tyres will bring chaos either. I think it just changes the strategy during a race. Whether that turns out to be good for the sport I can’t say.
I suppose the real question is what can Pirelli do to give grip at low temperatures.
If the world’s most elite drivers can’t handle cold tyres, then perhaps they’re not the world’s most elite drivers.
If Max wants competition, he can do a last to first challenge. In all seriousness, he misses the massive battles of 2021. Conservative lapping alone out front must be dull for him.
There are a couple of reason why I’m going to say no to this now.
If we get enough feedback asking for more granular threads then when will absolutely consider how we change things for future races.
Tomorrow there will be a post-race discussion. Perhaps in there you can make this point again?
Perez has bottled it.
The penalty is given for the infringement, not the outcome. Not that I disagree with you, but that is how the rules are applied.
What a clusterfuck that was at the end.
On a side note, I’ll be posting the weekend thread for the whole Canadian GP tomorrow!
Can somebody ELI5 this to a normal tech person who is aware of the RISC5, but has no idea why everyone is so excited about this?
