Car-Addicted wroteYour boy Checo (!)BREAKING: F1 will be replacing Bahrain with the I-95 Grand Prix. Maine to Florida. 2 laps. Everyday traffic is still on the road. No speed limits. Every bridge is a Straight Mode zone. If you get a penalty you have to go through the cash only toll booth. Good luck.
Car-Addicted wroteSo Oscar gets full power as Lando in the race but not quali !Hmmm, My thoughts exactly
Car-Addicted wroteAll in all it just adds up to that F1 is in a mess of its own making with the direction that F1 should be going sidelined into a jungle of confusion and tech problems.Hmmm, My thoughts exactly
Car-Addicted wroteWe can always depend on you my friend for explaining it to a teeBest indicator of where I'm at with this is I didn't watch the race till Sunday night. Good news is Hulu/Apple has finally given access to SkySports to save events. I suspect it would have been a hard pass if all I had to listen to was the F1TV talking idiots.
It’s made by a fan using telemetry, while FOM doesn’t even show top speeds anymore because they’re too embarrassed

Car-Addicted wrote"These new regulations hurt" - Martin Brundle offers brutal assessment of new F1 rules
Driver-turned-commentator Martin Brundle has offered a brutal assessment of Formula 1's current rules, calling on the championship to "get rid" of the current rules "as soon as possible".
The current F1 regulations have come under increasing fire in recent weeks, after weekends at Silverstone and Spa-Francorchamps have seen a return of yoyo-racing and superclipping.
A noticeable absence on the regular broadcast this weekend was the lack of live telemetry, with speeds and gears largely concealed from viewers.
However, through the audio alone, it was evident that drivers were lifting off through several corners that would ordinarily be taken flat-out, including the fearsome Eau Rouge, in order to harvest battery energy.
At Silverstone, this was in evidence chiefly through Maggots and Becketts, while both layouts saw a significant decrease in speed on the long straights.
"I've got a bit of a tear in my eye, because we've lost all the great corners at Silverstone and here we are at Spa with the same situation. These new regulations hurt us on the high-speed circuits."
At both Silverstone and Spa-Francorchamps, there was plenty of overtaking action, although this was largely of the yoyo variety, with overtakes coming primarily through a difference in battery usage; the positions switched back again as deployment shifted to the opposite car.

Russell vs Antonelli
M5Rick wroteYeah . And it shows that RUS's battery or his battery deployment software is manipulated to make his car slower (!)So if it was MAX and AND , it would make no difference with the wolf grin my friend .....
Doing gardening at the other place with an airshow not faraway, had an F-35 fighter jet loitering in the sky doing rolls, first time i've seen one of these and the noise was like continuous loud thunder with the afterburner on !!

RUS said : My hands are tied . This means RUS is aware of the situation...
RUS is not our fav. driver . But I do feel sorry for him (!)

Killed by Death wroteBroadcast didn't just ignore that pass. They broadcast an entire race weekend completely void of telemetry or in-car video on straights. They obviously got clear instructions from F1 not to show super clipping.
M3WC wroteSo they wear the team colours and hats knowing sweet FA about anything, clueless bods following one another with blindfolds. reminds me of Don Henley's..Driving With Your Eyes Closed, but that's the way it goes.Car-Addicted wrote"These new regulations hurt" - Martin Brundle offers brutal assessment of new F1 rules
