It has to be fair play to them. Why the heck didn't Sainz stay within the lines?! It's silly not to. Alonso stayed within the lines and rightly got the benefit of doing so.
It is what they said, visibility, a wall is quite visible, even at that speed.

He’s like listening to a spastic, overambitious child trying to get attention or be funny. I can’t believe an institution like F1 uses that guy as their front man play by play guy. What is happening. Just horrendous! Where’s Bob Varsha? Heck at least David Hobbs made me laugh with his cornball terms like “klagg” and “very large attachments” .
Every 5 minutes you get some silly comment like "If you are new to formula 1 a car needs 4 wheels and an engine".

So you will like the silverstone livery they just revealed thenI agree with the guy who said the McLaren team light blue helmets look goofy. They should use chrome like the old days. I wish they would use papaya and the liquid deep blue as an accent colors with chrome and black as background colors. The overuse of the papaya and light blue compromises the ability for the team look aggressive. Some of the designs I’ve seen in the forums here in the past have been amazing. Can’t believe Macca doesn’t use the guys from these forums.
Just as they can make them on the high way rumbling linesI agree with the idea of the modular 1-2 meter wide track limit idea. Dense, golf green grass or gravel for the cars, concrete for the bikes. It’s easy, simple, inexpensive, consistent, fair, and highly effective.
Arizona stadium in the USA uses a modular grass field and their field grass is always lush and green and perfect on game day. The stadium is indoors and the field is grown and maintained outdoors and moved indoors on game day.
Modular curbing would also allow testing of different types of gravel and penalty surfaces, and as technology improves so do the corners at every track. Tracks then are never technologically inferior between each other, and the grandfathered stuff like Suzuka and Silverstone or walls like Canada and Monaco could stay. FIA could even mandate modular curb edging at appropriate tracks with a very reasonable cost integration. Then, many of the tracks would be consistent with each other. Helicopter shots of tracks would be consistent like football fields or tennis. I think this would improve the racing and accuracy of the drivers immensely. And, it removes opinion and delay from the equation while ensuring equal justice and safety.
Yes, absolutely.JordanMugen wrote: ↑04 Jul 2023, 04:56It has to be fair play to them. Why the heck didn't Sainz stay within the lines?! It's silly not to. Alonso stayed within the lines and rightly got the benefit of doing so.
You are missing, this is an European track.
It is shocking how much they cater to the lowest of the low. In baseball they literally say nothing 99% of the time, you are expected to know.maxxer wrote: ↑04 Jul 2023, 09:13To be honest i watch f1 tv and the commentary there is shockingly bad also at times same as with sky.

Back in the 90's i used to watch or record free practice on fridays , there was only commentary when something happened. That was 4 hours of free practice on one day.dans79 wrote: ↑04 Jul 2023, 17:08It is shocking how much they cater to the lowest of the low.

Just watch onboards m8 .. its the sole reason i pay F1TV for this, to see every driver on his own, driving. You hear only the car sound and the team speaking to the driver and vise versa.maxxer wrote: ↑04 Jul 2023, 22:04Back in the 90's i used to watch or record free practice on fridays , there was only commentary when something happened.

When i watch it now with commentary after one hour i have a headache from the constant talking they do.
Every time a car leaves the pits the first thing they say they dont know how much fuel it carries.

Is that not a pertinent rule? Until 1983 or so there was no limit on the number of wheels.
The Liburdee™ market push is heavy handed at times.
We also got confirmation that the Red Bull Ring will be fitted with new gravel traps on the outside of T9 and T10 to avoid any more track limits drama. FIA had contacted MotoGP to ask if there are any concerns. But they are okay with it
