Great track to drive, but hard to overtake. Can only really get it done into the final chicane or turn 1 usually.

I am looking forward to seeing how Yuki does. Bit nervous for him but it would be great if he can challenge Max a bit

Same. I keep seeing this problem with posts using IMGBB in the MM as well. I assume they have bandwidth limits and the OP can't see when it's happened because the image is cached for them. If it were down to me I'd ban using it as it's ass. Imgur is much better and more reliable.

They're fine for me. Maybe things are just more efficient in the Vaterland

Definite +++ for Imgur, never see any issues with posts/images using Imgur.

This is what I see.

I've been using Flickr to host forum images for 20+ years without any problems

chrismscotland · 2025-04-02T15:19:02+0100

Sorry lads I'll fix later - I suspect there's some kind of limit - I was using something else last year but I couldn't get it to work this year!

~~The images are still working for me..~~

edit: scratch that.. they must have been cached at browser level.. a hard refresh.. and they are now gone like the others..

Imgur is rubbish and has a shoddy interface.

ezekial · 2025-04-02T18:33:55+0100

Ive been using post images, seems ok so far

It does have a shoddy interface but it works okay for its main job.

All this hype for Yuki, the White Bull and it being Japan.

I can just see him binning it into the gravel on lap 1.

"Is that the honey badger? I've got some great news!"...

Yuki for the win on sunday!!!!!

SpartaP · 2025-04-02T21:13:18+0100

Looking forward to seeing how Yuki does at the weekend, especially with a home buff. Should be good!
