Can't you mute the tab? Assuming you're watching on a computer.

jein,
but I want FX audio, the trackside sounds.
It is usually available, also now, but doesn't activate when I chose the option....

[bosyber]

And maybe another language (which then doesn't prattle quite as much?) - not ideal for sure. maybe ask the @f1help twitter about it, see if they can make it work

1.17.5 for Stroll on the C2 seems pretty impressive

edit. Followed by Max doing a 1.18.0 on the same tyre.

followed by Bottas in the Gravel

followed by a red flag.... For Max

[101FlyingDutchman]

Reckon a 17.5 is a quali run on the c2

I love that the ‘experts’ observing trackside have been consistently saying the redbull looks GREAT! Better than the Mercedes!

Now they’ve spun 5 times (?) they’re looking ‘a bit edgy’. Haha.

Love these experts. Ties into what George said yesterday - trackside observations are garbage.

it's like watching ski racing - they can look smooth because they're fast, or edgy because they're... on the edge! Or smooth because they're not really near the limit, or edgy because it's not working!

i don't know why we're the only ones who don't get the gps

How do we think they get these numbers? I didn't think GPS data was available or that live timing had sufficient resolution

[haza]

Wonder why McLaren and Ferrari are keeping there cards close to their chest they’ve been too quiet this week

[101FlyingDutchman]

So far I’ve been watching the c2 fastest times over the testing and it’s starting to give a little picture.

HAM 1.17.5
STR 1.17.5
NOR 18.1 now 17.5
RIC 18.1-18.2

I thought the app was reliable for speeds. Accleration at the top end slows down significantly, so the sampling rate on the app should be fine for capturing top speeds. That's assuming the cars are actually geared for this track, and not for a much longer straight like Baku.

That said, we don't know engine modes, so fairly useless.

top speeds during cornering are less dependent on power installed.. only those after a long strait can be fake because of the power mode of the PU (like turn 1.. and turn 10, where Ferrari is slow maybe because the car comes with lower max speed and the braking zone is part of the turn)

I'll give myself a big, "duh" on that. I wasn't even thinking about the apex speeds. My bad. You're totally right.

Man, when will F1/Liberty fix this syncing issue between the telemetry/visual feed and the audio feed of the cars ... it's been what, 3 years?

[Santozini]

Vettel 1:17.093 then spun..

Which tyre was he using?
