They should just make the throttle go to 11 instead of 10

toadee posted:The big issue for Max at the moment is sure he can run off to wherever, but how do you know where to go? Nobody has a clue what the new formula is going to play out like so it would be a big gamble. If a spot in a now-top-team opens up go there for fuckmillions of dollars. Not like the guy ever has to work again.

toadee posted:Yeah but whose to say Mercedes is going to get it right? They could end up dogshit next year with the new formula If you take the comments Max makes at face value, then he almost certainly should jump to another team because the RB/Ford engine development is not great. Sure, you don't know exactly where to go, but if yours is bad then someone else is probably better. Also McLaren and Ferrari are out so the only choices he has is to stay or Mercedes. I don't think Aston is a real choice but that's open too.

Rinkles posted:you don't think mclaren would dump lando for max? I don't. Zak and Jos don't seem to have a good relationship among other issues. I'm also not sure if they can dump either Lando or Piastri. Didn't they both renew contracts recently? I think they probably had the leverage to guarantee their seat.

That Red Bull was way ahead on engine development, and Horner was right about the new regs sucking poo poo.

I think Max could get rewarded like Hamilton did when he left McLaren if he leaves soon. Without Newey and some other red bull refugees, I would be skeptical of their ability to build the fastest car. Especially since they already no longer have the fastest car. But Max would probably refuse to have a teammate that's half decent, like Russell, LeClerc, or either of the McLaren drivers, so he might just stay put and let Nando be the guy in the Aston Martin.

Look if the cars are going to be 30kg lighter, we’ve got to slow them down drastically! What I really wonder is, what those engines will sound like. I just long for the banshee wail of the 3.0L v10s.

Everything will sound the same. They are only dumping the MGU-H (which I find the most interesting component they ever developed...go figure) and relying more on the battery.

Rev. Dr. Moses P. Lester posted:It's an interesting doodad, an electric motor on a turbo, but if it's mandated by the sport I dunno if it really is interesting tech. Would seem to make more sense to give them parameters on displacement or component sizes and let them develop more broadly. Or whatever WEC is doing with its theoretical joule output limits. I think the problem is, it doesn't have any real world application, versus eg going down a hill and you can run the electric motor in reverse and recharge the battery. Nobody is running the engine at stoichiometric optimal RPM to recharge the battery thru the turbo scavenging excess engine entropy
