I've been a casual racing fan most of my life and have recently been getting pretty interested in F1, and been watching these practice sessions after watching the last two GPs on replay.

Are these tire blanket things intended to warm the tires so the drivers have to spend less time warming them once they're out on the track? The little ritual mechanics go through right before the cars leave the garage is weird looking.

Edit: Worst page snipe.

Yeah pretty much, they're tyre warmers. If I'm not mistaken the tyres straight up have the grip of soaped glass if not warmed, the warmers are there to get them to "safe to drive" temperature

Almost every racing series uses them to get them as close to get to racing temp, they'll cool though as you leave the pits, hence the 'cold tyres' phrased a lot

I've got the F2 qualifying session on now, are these the wheels that F1 is moving to in 2022? Rims look much bigger.

Most of my experience with open-wheel racing is American series (CHAMP/CART/IndyCar) in the late 90s/early 2000s, and I don't remember seeing them back then but I wasn't really watching practice/qualifying/pre-race stuff back then.

Noticing a lot of silence from the idiotic morons who spent years deriding Lance and saying he has no talent right now that they’ve been comprehensively and repeatedly proven wrong. Helen Keller is better at seeing driving talent than you loving cunts.

vettel is a saint and watching season 2 drive to survive finally makes me wish he were actaully a good driver and that ferrari could actually still build a car without todt so that he could follow his idol michael german driver in an italian car is just too beautiful.

The obvious answer is loving frog boy max and that poo poo eater grin, jos didn't beat him enough

Best bit of Drive to Survive was Ocon telling Toto that he could put him in a Mercedes and Toto going “uhh hu hu. No.” and Ocon turning out to be a bit rubbish this season, tbh the reason people probably liked him and thought he was a sparky young talent in the first place was because he kept annoying Verstappen.

It’s going to be amazing when Toto promotes Russel and puts Ocon in the Williams to ignore blue flags just to annoy Horner.

So Papa Stroll buys a F1 team, steals the designs of the best team, infects the 2nd driver (or falsified his Covid tests) so they can hire a driver with an allergy to podiums. All for his boy yet what does he do for Chloe? A single music video. lmao
