Wait what Red Bull finally managed a < 2 sec stop during a race? (I fell asleep before the race and woke up shortly before the end)

Imagining that either:

1. These some high tech 'burglars' being able to break into Gasly's house. At which point, is it a burglary or heist?

or

2. Keeps his stuff in a house with low tier security and a ton of $$$ stuff

Yeah, and it was a total utopia during the French revolution when all sorts of random people were guillotine'd for just walking down the wrong street or whatever. Almost as utopian as East Germany or modern day China. Ahhh, those were the days.

Fundamentally, F1 is less of a spectacle now because race pace is just so god-drat slow. There's no easy fix to this, but its the root cause of all the issues. We're never going to see the likes of Schumacher thrashing the early-years shitbox Ferrari around the track on the bare edge of grip for a long time, if ever again.
Watch some of Leclerc's onboards sometime. The Ferrari drives like a tractor.

As far as I can see it, the problem is the pit delta is too drat high. losing 20s+ in a pitstop relative to other drivers makes it a no-brainer to treat tires gently instead of pitting for new tires because there's usually no way to make up 20s even on a fresh pair of tires.

The solution: Cut the pit delta in half. Obviously we need the speed limits for safety but reconfigure the pit entry/exit to skip turns 1/2/3 whatever until the net time loss comes down to 10 seconds or less. Suddenly there's a huge amount of additional strategies available because making up 10s in 10 laps on someone nursing old tires isn't as difficult. More strategies = the teams can't cover all of them (until one of them solves P = NP which admittedly I wouldn't put past Mercedes) and you get your unpredictability back.

Obviously some circuits won't be able to reconfigure their pit lanes. for example we'll have to say goodbye to Monaco- making this pretty much be best plan ever.

Not in favour of this plan as it lets F1 off the hook and becomes the track owners' problem

except the Monaco bit, that's on-point
