Motorsport Off Topic Thread

Looks like they're working on it. Although I suspect that it isn't something they can simply pull out and plug into their cars; it will work as part of a larger whole.
Will require a significant amount of testing, not to mention the exact configurations needed for each track.

I suspect if teams are able to implement it, we'll see Max and the Mercs doing much better in the race, which is needed.
 
The teams always make me laugh. One minute its all, oh this is the pinnacle of racing we should be able to innovate and go wild!!!

Next breath, that team has a thing and you should ban it because we don't.. :D
 
Not sure why they can’t just say stop being racist? Apparently Colapinto fans have been giving Yuki racist abuse.

I lived in Argentina for a year in the late 2000s, most openly racist place I’ve ever been to, no one hides it and it’s completely normalised relative to over here.
 
Random Q: anyone got any links to some high-res desktop current F1 wallpapers?
Everything these days is mobile wallpapers, and I want to replace my Hamilton W15 desktop background but everything is either 1600x900 or mobile...

Cheers

Ah I didn't go into the advanced search settings :o

Just tried to search for "large" in drop-down. Google used to be so much better in the olden days... cheers :p

Been in Florida for a couple of weeks. Watched some of the F1 live, but Disney's wifi isn't really suitible for that. :D

Seems like McLaren still good. Verstappen still dragging that car to places it shouldn't be. Ferrari still determined to plunge down the standings despite their drivers attempts to actually do well.
 
Anyone watched F1 The Academy on Netflix? Worth a go? (Speaking as someone who gave up on DTS a few seasons ago…). Thought it sounded like it might be more educational or informative?
 
Apparently F1 '25 Spa tyre compounds will be C1 (hardest), C3 and C4. I'd not been playing close attention, but normally compounds are x, x+1, x+2.

Silverstone '25 getting C2, C3 and C4. The hardst compound last year was C1.

I tried the first episode last night. It's okay. If you're following F1 Academy and want to know more about the personalities involved it's probably interesting, but I'm haven't followee F1A closely and found the presentation kind of irritating. The kind of thing I'd have watched another episode of if my wife wanted to (she didn't) but won't be going out of my way for.
 
This it out on prime now, would say it's worth a watch even if you don't care about turning left.

Just finished watching the last episode. I'm not an emotional guy but the section on the 2001 Daytona Pepsi 400 had me welling up.

I havnt watched a lot of NASCAR over the years but I've always appreciated the impact that Dale had on motor racing. Watching this series just gave me a renewed respect for the guy and the sport in general. Strangely enough in the past few months I've been watching a lot more of it. I've also been watching Jr's podcasts and with Cleetus getting involved in the ARCA feeder series it feels like there is life and character getting injected into the sport again.

Potential for Stroll to at least miss Canada, their usual replacements (Drugovich and Vandoorne) are racing at Le Mans that weekend.
Could see Bottas step in for a fellow Mercedes customer maybe? Although I guess its possible that either would choose and F1 race over Le Mans...
 
I guess it comes down to contracts, but if I was Drugovich I might bite the hand off for a race.

Vandoorne on the other hand knows he's had his chance.

But then again, both are racing in Hypercar and have a potential chance to win the 24 hours of Le Man.

We might indeed see Bottas in green haha.
