I think Nando is primarily talking about the crowd that drive to survive pulled in over the past few years. Most of them don’t seem to dig as deep into what makes F1 tik as the older fans. I think a lot of them don’t really try to understand the technical side of F1, and that’s ok, but there is definitely a shift in how drivers and their accomplishments are perceived.

mayonnaise on fries is a staple in Germany.

I love this kind of documents that are basically a very polite “fuck off, stupid idiots”

Perez picked up floor damage when battling Piastri on the opening lap.

How is facial hair beneficial in fighting?

very well written

Sometimes. But sometimes (like next week for example) they are also trying to implement mass surveillance of all EU-Citizens’ private communication.

MOMS SPAGHETTI

I might be wrong, but didn’t Einstein say something about WW3 being fought with a club? Maybe this is the beginning of that developement back to the roots.

After his spin Sainz let the car roll backwards to get it off the the racing line, which is exactly what he should have done. Albon tried going behind him to lose as little time as possible, which is also the right thing to do. It was just an unfortunate incident.

can someone eli5 why it is even forbidden in the first place?

If all you care about is on track action, F1 is probably one of the worst racing series for you. Not even half the races are action packed, and that’s been the case for probably 10-20 years or even more.

thank you for saying that. The best way to stop the genocide in gaza is to get as many israelis as possible to speak up against it.

My experience is that the metal culture is PARTICULARLY friendly in the pit. Everyone typically looks out for each other, and people who mosh too violently are usually pulled out of the pit. Also: with metal becoming more and more popular over the last two decades, Ifeel like the ratio of assholes in the community has grown.

Monaco has always been a procession. You have drivers complaining about the overtaking at least since the 1980s, probably longer.

Tbh I wouldn’t change a thing, I had a tonne of fun yesterday. Once you’ve watched F1 for a while and understand what’s going on in the background, even just watching the timing screens can be exciting. Watching the gap between Piastri and Russel, for most of the race you couldn’t tell of it would open up to a full pit stop, at which point Piastri would probably have pitted, triggering a Pit stop for both Ferraris and Norris aswell. I get that more casual viewers need more on track action, and I probably wouldn’t like if the whole season was like that, but for one race a year I think it’s great.

Andrea Antonelli at Alpine when?

Neither Fred nor Matthia make up strategy calls. That’s what the strategy team does. The team principal might give his 2 cents, and probably can veto stuff, but the strategy is made by the strategy team, with some input from race & performance engineers, drivers and the head of race operations (or whatever they are called at ferrari)

Verstappen has converted more Leclerc polesinto wins than Leclerc.

Leclerc did this for a few laps in Austria a few years ago (might have been 2022?).
