That's the truth. Can we get a scandal up and running please? Some sort of new and exciting team espionage, none of the played out bribery and nazi hooker incidents.

I've returned to the glorious motherland only to discover that F1 is no longer available on free to air TV. And then they hosed up installing cable TV so I missed Hungary entirely which from all accounts was a boring snoozefest. Right?

learnincurve posted:Silly young max has a three place penalty because he went to park it as the power was going then changed his mind only to have it fail on the racing line. It's in F1's best interests to start Max the Boss from the last row of the grid anyway. Too many Finns clogging up the midfield unable to pass. Get moist and allow Verstappen love inside.

krushgroove posted:At this point, the handbags at dawn style drama, joking about the politics and sometimes during a race you'll get a single nice racing move that has bigger implications to the wider picture (like Lewis' pass into turn 1/2). For on-track action I prefer watching Moto3 motorcycle races. MotoGP has a bit more on-track action than F1 right now but there's actually a battle for the championship this year, which makes it more interesting to watch. GP2 is a completely watchable series even if Van Door is running away with the championship.

Alain Post posted:By the way: In all seriousness, another problem with that model is that it basically seems to assume the transitive property of driver skill, in other words, if driver A is better than driver B, and driver B is better than driver C, than driver A is better than driver C. This is part of why Rosberg gets such an insane rating for beating a geriatric Michael Schumacher, and is also why HHF gets rated over basically every 80s driver because he beat Damon Hill in 1999, when Damon was in full, complete "not giving a gently caress" mode. Basically, I think the model is giving Rosberg credit for being better than the 80s guys on the evidence that Schumacher compared favorably to them, and HHF gets credit for stuff like Damon Hill having a pretty favorable season against Alain Prost once.
