idk the investigation would have reached the same conclusion, drivers were told it was okay to leave the track there so long as it did not gain a lasting advantage.

obviously any of lewis' advantage gained by using the runoff there was temporary and dwindling due to being slow and on lovely tires whereas max used the runoff to get around lewis' defensive driving. Stewards might have been inconsistent jackasses about rules promulgation all weekend but lewis understood it on race day and acted within the rules whereas max loving cheated like his dad and got caught

It could be argued that taking the wide line out of turn 4 every lap was indeed gaining a lasting advantage as he was taking the faster line and Max was not.

for which lewis was warned though

After 29 laps of taking the wide line and thus, gaining the advantage. Even after he was warned, that only hled up until Max started pressuring him again and he was back to taking the wide line, though tbf Max was also taking it as well at this stage.

lot more pissbabies than usual ITT after this race, say what you like about Drive 2 Survive but it's pulling viewers in. (dumb viewers that don't realise Lewis is GOAT)

All this tells me is that Checo is only only good an honourable driver on the grid.

if it was so advantageous why did max have to cheat to pass him

*lewis runs wide turn 4 every lap*
Lewis shills: This is fine perfectly cromulent way to race if I do say so myself good sir.
*max gets forced off at turn 4, passes Lewis anyways*

How so? I’m vaguely aware that people say Tilke (sp?) tracks are very samey, but I don’t really understand beyond that.

- Long straights followed by a 90* corner
- acres of tarmac runoffs
- usually something stupid like it'll try to imitate a corner or set of corners from more successful tracks
- Some kind of dumb setpiece like putting a hotel ontop of the track or STRIPES!!!!! Or whatever the gently caress that thing is in China
- Generally built in the middle of nowhere and gets poor attendance

I was legit going to get an Alph Tauri hoodie because they are the only worthwhile Italian item on the market, but then I saw that it cost 250 euros and that's like $80 billion in these useless Canadian rubles so I thought better of it.

Is there some voodoo to watch f1 tv on...your TV?

I remember last season (and maybe before?) that we had to open it in a browser on our phones and cast it to the TV (couldn't do it through the app on the apple tv or cast it to tv from the app on the phone).

Nothing seems to work now unless we want to watch it on a phone or ipad which is super dumb.

I use a Steam Link. If you exit Big Picture mode in steam it just broadcasts the desktop to a TV. Then fullscreen the video player.

Works well and the steam link and controller was like $20.

yeah, even getting the local staff in to run the event (like the corner marshals) will be tough. There's a reason IMSA has already turfed their round at Mosport and made that a second race at Watkins Glen instead. I'm sure IndyCar will have to confirm their Toronto race is off sooner than later.

I'm not sure pushing it to the fall will work either, if only because of the setup for the circuit. same as with other street circuits, you'd need to decide that and not cancel again otherwise you're eating a lot of costs. It's not like at COTA, where there's much less setup required.

The snow starts flying in Montreal in late October, early November, and given that the USGP is already October 24 with the Mexican GP being on Halloween, if you're going to host the Canadian GP during the rest of the North American races you'd have to do it right after the Japanese GP on Oct 9, or more preferably way earlier in the year were it isn't already back to back races.

where was that spotted? somebody's gone through some effort with their decal shop to figure that one out.

points deducted for not having the light bar though.

also a reminder that some course cars were apparently stolen in the UK over this winter but found a week or two later, how do you expect to steal extremely marked cars so easily :psyduck:

Richmond, BC

I'm not 100% sure on the laws here, but I think putting on a light bar when you're not an emergency service is illegal. If you're going to deduct points, you should do it for the fact that it says "Safety Car" but the AMG wagon is actually the Medical Car.

Quali is loving poo poo as it is, nobody gives a gently caress until the last 2 mins when the top 3 teams do banzai laps as Crofty screams over it to create the illusion of excitement. Otherwise you can pretty much phone in the bottom 14 positions. At least a sprint race means drivers are fighting it out rather than trying to parachute into empty track space.

The only exception being Monaco which you malcontents seem to hate because of your brainworms. 🤷‍♂️

If they're going to change quali, they should just change it to the FE quali format. That one is always at least fun to watch.

I wasn't too interested until I got into karting and a lot of the dynamics ended up being closer to MotoGP than modern F1.

Lewis was good when he drove for McLaren. He was still ok when he started at Mercedes. He became bad somewhere between uncontested WDC 3 and uncontested WDC 4.
