Poll: Official 2024 Dutch Grand Prix Race Thread - Circuit Zandvoort - Race 15/24

Thanks for the spoilers guys

To be fair, you can't expect people not to talk about events live in these threads, hence I don't read them if I've missed a session that I'm going to catch up on.

Williams Instagram post says the chassis looks ok. I'm amazed.
Still can't see it being ready for qualifying. I hope it isn't.

I don't know how much Sergeant is paying for his drive, but surely he must have cost the team more in crash damage this year.

I've probably missed an email somewhere telling me I'm getting financially bent over for the privilege but Sky Sports F1 has appeared in UHD on NowTV

Yes Ultra Boost is now a paid for extra for HDR with NOW Sky broadcasts

That camera lean on the McLaren onboard is just awful. Feel like they are just pushing it to clown levels, to see what they can get away with. It looks truly ridiculous.

I think it's great, really shows how the track camber varies.

I quite like the gimbal camera, highlights the changing camber of the track in a way the static cams don't, gives an interesting perspective of the banked sections here

Not really. They are pushing it to extreme levels to make it look like something it isn't. On the main straight it was on a comical tilt.

Edit: More like they're riding motorbikes.

It's literally horizontal, that's the point.

Yea, if you've seen people try and walk that part, it's massively steep. Pretty sure the camera is reacting to the corners vs being manually controlled.

I think the FOV also helps convey more speed; wouldn't want to watch the whole race like that but it's a cool option. Will be interesting to see what it looks like on a more standard track.

Its a gyro camera isn't it ? it's exactly what replays at Zandvoort look like in iRacing when you use a gyro cam

 

[Mesai]

Sargent pretty consistent with qualifying - managed to get the same position without a car.

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

Whatever it is, I hope it doesn't become the standard.

 

[Journey]

Loving the gimbal camera's no idea why people would think they aren't working correctly, it's a gimbal.

 

[Stu999]

Sauber have been hopeless this year.

Savage.

Perez P1 max only P7. Reignited championship challenge confirmed??

Probably not..

 

[KiNgPiN83]

Perez also upset that Hamilton couldn’t just disappear..

i'm not a fan of the gimblecam, i keep thinking they're losing control. for me it adds nothing and is just a gimmick
