Warning, this is a hot take but I will die on this hill:
Grid is possibly the best it's ever been. Almost all drivers have excellent junior credentials if not excellent F1 credentials, and pay drivers are at an all-time low surely? With Latifi out and Piastri in it can only be an upgrade compared to a few years ago. Not to mention getting to watch Alonso, Hamilton and Verstappen all on the grid together. In some years you'll be longing for that again. I can see a scenario where Verstappen, Ham and Alonso all hang up their boots in relatively short period of time and the grid is left looking quite shallow in terms of talent.mzivtins wrote: ↑08 Jul 2023, 01:27Warning, this is a hot take but I will die on this hill:
What is there to talk about? F1 is terrible now
Max wins all the time (not a fault, but just a fact)
Half of the rest of the grid complain, whilst being paid literally MILLIONS, that they cannot keep a car in track limits due to understeer the entire race and cry when given penalties for not being able to stick to those track limits.
Then we just hear the same stuff week in, week out from one team who always talks about upgrades then just delivers utter trash.
Half the F1 field aren't even good racing drivers as others out there in the wider market.
If these overpaid, oversensitive losers cannot keep in track limits on open wheel Race-cars with godly amounts of aerodynamic grip, then they are obviously NOTHING compared to the skill of drivers who manage it, in the dark, when its raining at 3am at night when you cannot even see the actual wheels.
The sport is weak these days, nothing to discuss but tabloid nonsense about "UpGrAdEs"
I blame RBR for having such a good car, and Merc for talking so much copium and nonsense, that F1 is painful outside of on track action, and even that is silly
I'm not sure who compiled this data but it seems wrong, at least compared to mine from fastf1.
Toni Sokolov on twitter makes them - i believe he's associated with formu1a - and yes there are a few errors. I think it's highly likely that your/fastf1 data is correct. In albon's case at least I can confirm it was a hard tyre run rather than soft so if the chart has any missed laps that'll be just an error I should imaginedialtone wrote: ↑08 Jul 2023, 01:49I'm not sure who compiled this data but it seems wrong, at least compared to mine from fastf1.scuderiabrandon wrote:https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F0cqpKHXoBM ... name=large
There's a few laps missing from sainz, his last lap was a 33.4. albon was on hards according to fastf1.

This is what i have from fastf1 and cutoff time at 1:36
The grid is too good, there are no 1st lap incidents anymore and with Latifi, Mazepin and Mick gone, there is no one to randomly crash mid-race to create chaos.
The drivers push to the limits of the cars - no matter how good the cars are - that's why they complain and that's the exact reason why they're good and get millions. Even if the cars had the double amount of grip and downforce from what they have now, you'd still have unhappy drivers. If you or I were sitting in these cars, we'd not be upset about low grip.mzivtins wrote: ↑08 Jul 2023, 01:27Half of the rest of the grid complain, whilst being paid literally MILLIONS, that they cannot keep a car in track limits due to understeer the entire race and cry when given penalties for not being able to stick to those track limits.

The car looks a lot better than yesterday that’s for sure
