F1 SASS gift purchased and shipped, but was feeling a little left out, so went ahead and purchased my tickets for Montreal 2013. Grandstand 11, Section 2, Row F. I hope all my research paid off as it looks like those will be some great seats. Only other GP attended was Monza 2009, GA ticket only and really wasn't able to follow much action (however I was able to stand 15ft from the main straight and let the cars vibrate my brain as the blew by). Off season is hard.

There are many subreddits like that, where a proper web forum is a better way to get info and post things, but for getting a general feel and read random news stuff there's a lot that's good about most of the subreddits. Stay away from the memes, in-jokes and crappy stuff and you can get a lot more out of the site that what you might think. I won't white-knight for Reddit (and if you like porn there's plenty to find on there, surprise, it's the internet) but there are definitely plenty of quality sections on there, especially for some of the more specialized interests. And there's FYAD-level stuff too, but yeah, there's something to be said for having a paywall like SA's to keep some of the riffraff out. e: anyway, sorry for going OT I guess - I suppose I can that I think all this fuss over the yellow flag passing is bordering on funny and Vettel is the deserving WDC because he has the most points at the end of the season. krushgroove fucked around with this message at Nov 28, 2012 around 20:09 |

If BOTTAS is in at Williams, we could have 3 Finns on the grid in 2013.. with Schumacher out, how many of Germans will be racing? Fettle, Rosberg, Hulk.. does Glock have a drive? And will we have 3 frogs? Grossjeans, Pic and Vergne?

MC Fruit Stripe posted:What as compared to the hard hitting analysis that this thread or any F1 forum is known for? The internet is a wasteland. I know, there really is a lack of good F1 discussion on the internet. As much as this is called the 'worst thread', it's still the least worst place for discussing F1 I've found. Saying that I haven't really dedicated much effort. Autosport is dire, Reddit is Reddit and that's about it. Also, as much as I wanted Alonso to win the title at Brazil I hope this protest goes nowhere. I want to see Vettel beat cleanly on the track, not via some minor infraction of the rules. I will be satisfied if we get tears from Christian Horner though, Sebastian Vettel fucked around with this message at Nov 28, 2012 around 22:05 |

Found a youtube link here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZHaBuaA9oQ Just to be clear, this is not the same "passing under yellows" that was discussed during the Sky F1 broadcast. This is a different incident that happens after turn 3. Judging by the sequence of flashing lights in the video, Vettel clearly passed the Torro Rosso under yellow flags.

Trust Ferrari to want to drag this through the courts of arbitration or whatever, how ridiculous. edit: well the BBC article says quote:However, the governing body does not need a protest from Ferrari to investigate further. In fact, its own rules appear to oblige it to do so. And the penalty is a strict 20 seconds added to the race time if the race has been finished, so at least there's no arguing there. Apparently it all hinges if the marshal post was waving a green flag - there must be fan or FOM footage that will show whether or not that is the case. krushgroove fucked around with this message at Nov 28, 2012 around 22:13 |

Not Nickthenorse! Not him too! Wasn't he was under green flag conditions during that pass because there's a guy standing with a flag and that overrules the lights or some poo poo? MC Fruit Stripe fucked around with this message at Nov 28, 2012 around 22:10 |

MC Fruit Stripe posted:Not Nickthenorse! Not him too! Yeah I've just seen an image showing a waved green flag at a marshal's post at a point before Vettel completes the overtake. I didn't realise but actual cloth flags > flag light boards. So the pass was legal, I agree!

This is going to be really easy to check because the FIA will have access to the full race footage from every camera so the same angle that was used to go 'hey there's a green flag at that marshal's post on this other lap' can be used to see if the same happened on the lap in question.

MC Fruit Stripe posted:Not Nickthenorse! Not him too! yes: BBC article posted:If there is any discrepancy between a driver's dashboard and the trackside indicators, the flags and lights take precedence - the display is meant solely as a further driver aid. Also Carbonate posted this on the last page (compare the order of the cars in the picture to the order of cars in the video) Carbonate posted:There was a green flag drivers right at pit exit. Number of lights don't necessarily coincide with the number of stations! There's only 16-18 FIA lights in Montreal, and 21 stations. In some places they are before or after a certain station. The real cloth flags are all correct, and the pass was very legal. So yeah, legal pass. krushgroove fucked around with this message at Nov 28, 2012 around 22:17 |

That's much clearer than trying to re-watch the HD video posted on the last page (ignore the audio, he is wrong):
So, about time for Alonso and Ferrari to congratulate the youngest ever triple WDC and third ever three-time consecutive WDC.

FYI, basically as soon as they pass something yellow (flag or light) they cannot overtake. As soon as they pass something green (flag or light) they can overtake again. When you see the lap counter flash yellow and go away, it's not some magical gps wizard detecting a car running 5 feet off track, it's a corner marshal hitting a button on a light control panel, then that info gets sent to the FOM feed and all of the cars. One doesn't carry more weight than the other, (and I can do up some funky diagrams showing that if anyone cares) but the steering wheel is info only and only gets that info from the light system, not the cloth flags, so it's not the complete picture of flag statuses around the entire circuit.
