italian quid posted:The best outcome would've been for him to head up engineering and have someone else handle strategy and trackside management. Thats a difficult pill for someone in such a prominent position to swallow though so I'm not sure that ever was realistically going to happen. Yeah, once he’s been promoted to running the whole deal, there’s no way you’re demoting him back to “just” the engineering side. The only way is out. Also massive lol at the Juventus situation.

First car I ever drove was a Land Rover Discovery because my dad is a masochist and thought one of those would be interesting to own (it was, for his wallet). First car I owned was an ‘89 325iS coupe, which we only recently sold. It’s been mostly stored since I moved to Japan, and kind of became a ‘stick or twist’ time with it, and then my dad somehow found a buyer by complete accident. I’ve since gone and found a BMW 118i which will free me from having to use a share car service for making Costco runs.

Tl;dr Ford would be happier to be the silent branding partner while RBPT get down to it that they thought Porsche would be, before that broke down. I would imagine Honda buying Alpha Tauri could be back on the menu, though what they’ve signed up to is basically the corporate meeting equivalent of staying on the newsletter and getting added to all the meetings.

Also wouldn’t be surprised if it makes more business sense for the team (primarily based in Europe) and their chassis partner (Italy) to use the Ferrari tunnel (in Italy) and get a deal on that, than to take time away from paying customers for the one in the US.

Uhhhh I don’t think you realize how big GM is. This is exactly what the FIA and F1 wanted Andretti to do - bring a big new name in as a new partner, instead of just being another manufacturer using a Ferrari/Mercedes/Renault engine. It needs time, but this is an incredibly strong possibility.

Thanks Ants posted:Bring back launch control, I want to see what happens when a team with a fairly slow car decide to spend all their money on electronics so they can jump eight places on the start and become a roadblock. It was real cool when Renault had figured out the frequency for the timing lights and connected that into launch control. Supposedly. ArmZ posted:f1 still holds the death record For real. And (IMO) too much of the discussion around the NFL player who had cardiac arrest on the field feels like what has happened in racing before - trying to understand the balance of ‘what can be changed for safety’ versus ‘freak issues you can’t legislate for.’

No, it’s because after trying to buy a team in the last couple years everyone at the top said “okay but find a major OEM and maybe we’ll talk,” and then he did. Got told to fix his homework and did it.

FirstnameLastname posted:so i was really into f1 until like 2018 and then haven't followed as closely Ferrari were good in 2019! And then something happened and they had to apologize without specifying why and were Real Bad in 2020 and didn’t win in 2021 either. After the whole spring of 2020, Lewis came back much stronger politically and so did Seb Vettel. Naturally, not everyone was on board. Nikita Mazepin was one of the absolute worst pay drivers I have seen in my life, and he lost his seat before the 2022 season because his family was sanctioned after the Russian invasion of Ukraine. McLaren won a race and gave way too many people hope, chief amongst them Danny Ric. (Seriously, go watch Monza 2020 and 2021). Cars aren’t going ICE-only, but removing the MGU-H aka the heat capture part of the turbocharger from 2026. So the KERS part (braking recovery) will have more power instead. This change has already got Audi to commit to joining F1, and possibly Honda. There are rumors about who Red Bull will have badge their 2026~ engines after Porsche fell through.

FirstnameLastname posted:the mgu-h is a super cool piece of technology but i get why they'd ditch it, limited commercial application and I'd imagine it bumped engine r&d costs up by an insane amount yeah, I think the only other car I've heard use the MGU-H was Porsche's 919 sports prototype car - at the time in the WEC the LMP1 hybrid cars could use different types of systems, and Porsche used one of those. But the complexity and limited road car relevance was cited by plenty of people as a reason they didn't jump in during the current era (Cosworth I think had a design ready for the ICE but didn't think they could do the MGU-H at all, and I think removing it was the thing the VAG companies wanted). Believe they're still going to be 1.6l V6 turbos.

Frond posted:Racer is decent outside the comment section. I wish Super GT/Super Formula were covered by anybody other than MS.com in English. There are some good guys on Twitter who cover it though. RJ O’Connell gets his coverage of Super GT up on Daily Sports Car, so that’s something. Super Formula is still a bit of a gap for English non-tweet coverage. The Race is a decent baseline, with a lot of good insight from Mark Hughes and Gary Anderson, but they also do some dumb things, like ask if endurance racing should change race formats to chase after the lesser spotted “normal fan”

Hot Karl Marx posted:I think it would be neat to see how badly the Ferrari F1 pitwall can gently caress up if the races were 24h I would suggest you watch the World Endurance Championship this year as Ferrari are entering a factory hypercar there (which means ~10 hours at Sebring, 24 of Le Mans, and more 6-hour races) but the serious anorak answer is that they’re run by AF Corse who have enough experience to avoid too much shooting-own-foot moments.

I saw this reported elsewhere as a bit of a throwaway joke, and not really representative. Sounds like the Ferrari power unit issue was MGU-H and that’s been fixed, but with these rules now it does seem like the  reliability fix is truly just that

Because they won the title (and also have, erm, other penalties) they might find it most difficult to upgrade their car from last year and inside the 2023 season, plus there are still questions about Checo as a second driver…but they’ll still likely be up there. Can only hope Mercedes doesn’t porpoise and Ferrari don’t shoot themselves in the foot.
