bosco Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Team orders have not worked with F1 egos. That's another issue I have with F1, team orders. I'm with the drivers on this one. You are a race car driver you race to win. Stay Stock Stay Happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baconbits Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Constructor's championship is the only meaningful championship, though. I get that the drivers want to be the best but if they constantly crash out of races and losing out on constructor's points, they might not have a seat and thus, not get a chance to be the best.

ehsnils Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 That's another issue I have with F1, team orders. I'm with the drivers on this one. You are a race car driver you race to win. If you fight inside the team so bad that both crash you don't win at all. Competition within a team is good, but don't go down the path of sorrows. Anyone racing should realize that beating the other teams is the primary goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tytek Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 I recorded it and watched a few days later. Ended up fasforwarding through most of it. Not much to see. Hamilton must be feeling great though. Ferrari needs a better strategy next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehsnils Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Interesting to see the cars in the Grand Hotel Hairpin, inner front tire is lifting on the cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehsnils Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 A pretty good race - unusually few that had DNFs for Monaco and all due to malfunctions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baconbits Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Interesting to see the cars in the Grand Hotel Hairpin, inner front tire is lifting on the cars. I noticed that too... and it was a lot. I'm okay with the finish order too. Winner had a hell of a drive with a half broken car but that would only happen at Monaco. Everywhere else it would have amounted to a DNF.

KartRacerBoy Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 (edited) Two boring races today, imo. Monaco and Indy. Zero or little passing. And it was HOT at Indy in turn 1. Best thing was I had a pass to use closed off roads for medical vehicles so no traffic in or out. It's good to be friends with the state Solicitor General.

KartRacerBoy Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Red Bull wants to sort out their engine deal - Renault or Honda - before negotiating with Ricciardo. If I was Ricciardo and Red Bull went with Honda, I'd say aloha to be anywhere else. Toro Rosso had one good result in the first race of 2018 but have been for shite since then. I see no progress other than they are not blowing up every race. Hope they stick with Renault and Ricciardo gets to beat Verstappen some more (fast but stupid). https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/red-bull-wants-to-sort-engine-deal-before-ricciardo-contract-1043157/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KartRacerBoy Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Williams is my favorite F1 team and it has pained me to watch them slide to the bottom of the pack over the years. I miss the years of Patrick Head and Frank Williams as the dynamic duo. Now they've fired their head aero guy. They've only scored 4 points so far this season. Yikes. Hope they pony up the dough and find someone decent. Apparently this years car has a stall problem in its diffuser in the turns, as well as a problem with their aero simulator program. Andrian Newey, come rescue Williams! https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/williams-splits-with-aero-chief-1043334/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KartRacerBoy Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 No, no, no, no, NO! I do not want 18 inch wheels and low profile tires in F!! https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/formula-1-pushing-for-bigger-wheels-in-2021-1044392/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KartRacerBoy Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Hemingway said there were only three real sports -- motorracing, mountain climbing and bullfighting. The rest are games. It's not F1 but the Isle of Mann TT is a man's sport. Two dead so far this year and another critically injured but recovering. How brave, no CRAZY, do you have to be to engage in this form of motorsport nowadays when almost every other form of racing has gotten so safe?

baconbits Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 I was watching some of that last year when I stumbled upon it on TV... it's insanity. I couldn't believe they did actual pit stops too with tire changes and everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baconbits Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Also, regarding the low profile tires: I think it would look goofy on the cars* but Pirelli is right when saying that 18" is more relevant than 13s with 8" of side wall. It would make suspensions more complex or difficult but at the same time, pull and push rod suspensions aren't relevant for the masses either. *I think it would open up the braking and MGU-K options allowing for maybe safer brakes or better cooling to prevent stuff like what happened at Monaco and other races where the rotors overheat and fail. This might be able to fill the back side of the wheels to keep the "full" look the brakes give it without gaping holes in the spokes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KartRacerBoy Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 (edited) As if F1 tires have much relevance to street tires. Unless you're a hella streetracer. I want F1 tires like I like my womens. Bigger and beefier! True except for the women part. I like them low profile, but I don't mind being a hypocrite between tire and women preferences.

baconbits Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 As if F1 tires have much relevance to street tires. True and the same goes for WEC. If we're going to be that black and white on the matter, stop restricting fuel flow, stop restricting MGU-K/H, let the teams go wild because nothing is relevant for street anyway.
