SIGH. "Max please stop goofing around doing rollercoaster hands down the main straight. Hands on the wheel at all times please..."

(next lap)

NYOOOOOOOOMMM

"BOTH. HANDS. On the wheel please Max. Waving at the pit wall is not better..."

Agreed, but that's not "all" the new regulations have done.

Unless you were being pusposefully hyperbolic, then I understamd your point - F1 has teetered on becoming a Law and Order spinoff since 2021.

Ferrari made too many mistakes in the last five years.

...I'd extend it thusly:

Set the tyre allocation for a weekend to exclude quali entirely, and for qualy give each driver two sets of tyres per qualy session like this based on championship standings:

1st - 3rd = C1 (Hardest)

4th - 7th = C2

8th - 11th = C3

12th - 14th = C4

15th - 17th = C5

18th - 20th = C6 (Softest)

This will give the resultant shakeup of qualy that people seem to like without feeling forced like a reverse grid.

Yes. But I foresee a Toto Directive being penned one of these days.

Additionally, looking at how Checo cuts through the field vs how Max cuts through the field I firmly believe that Max really is the speshul sauce that sets the RB apart from the rest.

It's the best car, for sure, but it isn't 30secs per race better than the field unless Max is driving it.

I'd pay real schmeckos to see Lando, Piastri, Russel, Fernando and Lewis do runs in it to get an average baseline of it's performance.

Like let Max, Lando, Piastri, Russel, Fernando and Lewis take the ten teams cars for a "road test" type showdown on a few different types of tracks and then give their verdict on the cars.

As someone who has sat though years of Mercedes domination I am happy for a change of leadership. The past three seasons have been more exciting in general as well. Get back to me when Resbull wins the 8th consecutive constructors in 2029.

I wish they would give us the 360 camera feed to watch.

This is for Alpha Tauri, wasn't the Miami one for Red Bull?

[-] quintinza@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Maaan. I mean a sweet points finish and all, but no P5(or better) after their good showing this weekend up to the race is gutting.

[-] quintinza@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah. His 9 win streak just shows how good he was at his peak.

[-] quintinza@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

scrolling down I see Lewis actually has more entries than Schumacher. My bad I am on ky phone and didn't realise the list goes that far down.

...and the Internet has the answers! This website has consecutive wins, races first to last, and number of laps led during the streak. Schumacher dominates the list with multiple entries.

20hours after your comment Alpine had a meh race and McLaren overtook them in the constructors with a 2nd and 4th place in the race.

Wonder if it will be able to keep up lol. I am sure it will, but imagine the thing holding up the installation lap or breaking down on track causing shenanigans.
