Not another street circuit

Looking at the layoffs at the AAA publishers I wouldn’t bet on it.

Let’s see them actually release something before getting excited, now it’s just cheap publicity

It’s one GP I’m going to skip, everything about that weekend is just a publicity stunt and money grab. Not how you gain fans imho

Amen to that

Too bad, he did his best with a one stop. But rules are rules, and harsh penalties are there to discourage intentional lowering the ride height.

Maybe also don’t do sprint races on bumpy tracks, or even better not at all.

Time will tell, other than the name I don’t see much impact

Good for him, hope he gets a solid race

[–] R05@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

They really put the words in his mouth, but in the end he is agreeing with the statement.

Shameful from FOM to even allow the race to go ahead, let alone complete with so many complaining about the heat. Zonlicht for safety first.

Let’s hope McLaren can built on this year and not have a start like this year.

It still irks me that people think those upset by the 2021 finale are so because Hamilton didn’t get his 8the world title. In all fairness, Red Bull made the right call to pit at the SC, and if the race would have restarted correctly would have had a fair shot at winning.

Problem is that Massi threw away the rulebook by letting only the cars between Hamilton and Verstappen overtake. If he wanted an epic last 4 lap, then red flag the race, let everyone change tires and see two of the greatest drivers ever in F1 duke it out on track.

Now we got a sour end to an epic season, with many people turned off by the sport and there will always be a footnote with Max’s first WDC.

 

I had my doubts when they announced it, and first pictures didn’t look that great to be honest. But once I saw it on track, just wow.

Together with their performance, really makes me feel nostalgic to the good old days.

 

I have it on good authority that it’s race week, where is all the buzz?
