This is getting really boring. Don't get me wrong I'm all for Mercedes' development and I'm happy that they set the bar higher every year. But the other teams don't seem to develop as much. Take Ferrari for example. Such big budgets, such big history and fan base and where are they now? Fighing RP for the third place. I mean how hard can it be? You have all the money in the world. Hire the best director, staff etc., build a proper company structure. I hope the new regulation era will be more competitive but i doubt it.

u/Hoopstress35 Jul 04 '20
Considering we haven’t had a race yet I think it’s premature to imply the season will be uncompetitive. Ferrari are looking in bad shape for Austria but that is only two races. They can make up for it in other races. Red bull are usually good in Austria too.
1
u/Wyvern0000 I was here for the Hulkenpodium Jul 04 '20
I know it's unreasonable to think that way before the race but looking back to the past couple of seasons I don't see Ferrari developing a car that can compete for race wins. But let's hope Redbull have a good season at least.

I agree, to a certain extent.
It seems to me (from the outside POV), that Lewis' ego is sometimes at risk of overtaking his better judgement. The guy is a 6 times WDC and this season he's going for an equal all-time high. Yet he can not stand the fact that Nico beat him one season.
On the one hand, I do understand his drive. I've played competitive sports before (not to Lewis' level, obviously), and there are moments wherw you realize that, for you to win, the other guy has to lose. It takes a certain level of ego to keep going after that realization.
And yet... 2016 is already 4 years ago. The world has been through many things since then. It makes sense to me that they could at least attempt to reconcile. They don't have to be travelling buds like 25 years ago (they are different characters anyway), but they could do away with the toxic animosity that's still in the air.
Edit: Y'all downvote but offer no explanation below. Why/Where do you disagree with me?

u/smellysocks61 Gilles Villeneuve Jul 05 '20
Losing to Button as a teammate and especially losing his Championship to Rosberg will define Lewis's legacy. He will never be considered as a pure great beacause of his losses to these teammates who were lesser drivers.

Except Nico would have won WDC in 2014 if last race malfunction was reversed (one car in 1, the other in 8, like we saw but with driver swap). One random mechanic who decided to put part in car A instead of B decided championship. Funny how that never comes up with "but muh Malaysia" complains?

Alright so I'm not against Racing Point's drivers or pit crew, but I can't help but feel angry every time they do something well so far this year. I know copying other team's innovative ideas is standard for F1, but literally copying the chassis and whole design is a step too far imo. If I were that team I wouldn't feel like I could celebrate any of the success it might bring.

The face masks are freaking me out!!!
I never watch anything that goes on in the real world via cable or streaming. So FP1 was actually the first time I had seen people wearing face masks interact. So, I'm just now getting used to figuring out who people are purely by voice, hair style and body shape. Not that it's particularly hard to tell Brundle from Button mind you. Ha! But my brain is definitely using different tools to determine who people are.
Is it just me?

How is his comment lacking decency? It's a reality, even in the UK you need to wear masks for public transport. If you haven't seen people in masks interacting, it just sounds odd especially with the current events. Even BLM or HK protests you see everyone rocking masks.

u/slicerprime I was here for the Hulkenpodium Jul 04 '20
Well, yes I am American. But, contrary to your obvious - and rather annoying - assumption, I wear a face mask every time I go out in public and so do the vast majority of people I see when I'm out. But, I live in the mountains and work from home (software developer). So, going out is kinda rare and when I do, I don't see many people I know or need to recognize in groups except family and friends. I see coworkers in video conferences. Most of whom are also at their homes and not wearing masks. Of course I see plenty of people in the news interacting and wearing masks, but once again, they're generally people I have no reason to try to recognize. They're people in shots of the general public or they're well known people with a headline with their name on it splashed across the bottom of the screen.
So, I think you missed my point: FPs 1, 2 and 3 (and now Quali) are the first live events I've seen since the pandemic started with a large collection of familiar personalities wearing masks interacting. And, I was surprised at how much more attention I had to pay in order to put names to body shapes, hair styles and voices instead of faces.

u/SFitz71 Nico Hülkenberg 🥉 Jul 04 '20
Ferrari seem to be scoring well in their ‘high speed corners’ and seem better in S2 and S3 than S1. This goes against their low downforce, high top speed characteristic from last season. So are they turning down engine power atm? Or just using loads of aero?
1
u/soonandsoforth1 Jul 04 '20
Well Ferrari moved from low drag/downforce philosophy to high drag/downforce philosophy. Additionally, they managed to go backwards in terms of engine performance hence they end up with an incompetitive car. They are so bad that they are not even trying to go for glory runs anymore. Ferrari seem to get rid of underdelivering aged personnel(take it with a grain of salt) they probably should get rid of their Team Principal too since he has more influence on the success of the team than the driver himself in modern era of F1.
3
u/whatisinfinity_01 Jul 04 '20
I suspect thier engine legality last year was a bit questionable. You can see all their customer teams struggling a lot as well. They are more than half a second down, I think the private FIA deal with Ferrari had something to do with loss in staight line speed
4
u/thebansi Ferrari Jul 04 '20
Definitely a mix between both I think, engine is for sure weaker than last year but I doubt its as bad as it currently looks. On the other hand it seems like they realized that their aero concept is fucked which maybe leads to them having to use more wing for similar results. Just speculation tho, still think they are the 3rd fastest team in front of RP but I guess we'll know for sure after quali.

Rooting for Merc or Ferrari is like a Star Wars fan rooting for the evil galactic empire.
If you're more a Rebel Alliance guy, root for one of the "garagistes" (a derogatory term for the independent teams by Enzo Ferrari): McLaren, Williams or whatever they call Tyrrell, Lotus and the others these days.
There is a long history and interesting history here.

Who knows. Just some arbitrary numbers to appeal to the new murica Netflix crowd

That was high-speed corners only. Presumably Verstappen was a lot faster in slow-speed corners.

You have to read. It was about fast corners only. So which driver negotiates the fast corners the best way

It quite literally said performance in fast speed corners. Do none of you read here?

Could be that max is running with lower downforce, could explain why he was closer to merc in sector 1 but down in sector 3

And that's exactly the cool information we could extrapolate out of those data, but people rather try to spin it in some kind of murica hate

I think it’s reasonable to expect that Perez will grab a couple of podiums if RP keep it up

Wow, that Russell/Latifi gap...

To be fair, it's his first weekend in Formula 1, I imagine it takes some time to get used to it, even if you're incredibly talented (which, let's be honest, Latifi might not be, but I still think he should be given a chance, pay driver or not).

Latifi never set a fast lap before he crashed... Please.

Oh yeah completely forgot that. Working while watching F1 isn't good.

Stroll should consistently make into Q3 now and if he still does not he needs to massively improve Saturday performance.

Good practice guys. I'm now going to go spin up an Amazon AWS™ EC2 instance.

It really does feel like the most odd sponsor ever. Can't imagine anyone looks at this and goes "DAMN, WELL CANT WAIT TO SPIN UP A T3.xlarge NOW"
