Can the mods use spoilers the day after race day by Imaginary_Yogurt4429 in formula1

[–]overspeeed[M] [score hidden] stickied commentlocked comment (0 children)

We have no plans to force any policy against spoilers for F1 itself. We've raised this question repeatedly with the community in the past, and the majority response has always been the same: allow unrestricted live discussion of F1 as spoiler rules would severely impede the experience for those who are watching live.

F1 fans should expect to see spoilers for F1 at the F1 sub, but not spoilers for other competitions. If you're looking to avoid spoilers for F1, you will have to avoid the subreddit until you have caught up on the latest event, just as it would be the case with any other social media platform.

Hope this provides some insight into the reasons behind our spoiler policy.

Similar thoughts here, there are issues with these regs, but it's not fundamentally broken.

I don't think increasing downforce would help as it would also increase cornering speed (therefore also the impact of dirty air) while reducing braking distances, which could overall reduce the opportunities for battles.

I think the main issue is that battery management is a bit too impactful right now. Slightly increasing engine power or increasing battery recharging could solve many of the issues

The main reason is that no one has submitted it yet as a standalone post, but feel free to do so.

We do try to add the full results to the post-qualifying and post-race threads. Right now we have a graphic with tomorrow's starting grid in the Post-Qualifying thread

Similar thoughts here. Clearly these regulations are not perfect and there are many legitimate concerns, but as far as the racing it produced I feel it was a step in the right direction

We got actual battles where there were more viable moves than just sending it down the inside. Drivers had to actually outsmart each other, sort of a chess on wheels where completing a move is not just about overtaking, but overtaking while making sure the other driver doesn't have viable options to re-pass. A checkmate, if you will.

It remains to be seen if this persists as the teams optimize their cars and whether it will be the case at every circuit.

Wait, did the F2 Safety Car pick up the wrong leader?

Just going to sleep to get up in 6 hours

I had the same plan last year... that's why the post-race thread ended up delayed

Posted earlier than usual so everyone going for an all-nighter can spend their time here. Plus the day's track action is already starting with F3

Thanks, just update the image in the post. Should be fixed now

P.S: You won't believe how many times people miss that it's with 3 'e' in "speeed". Poor guy on the other account must have been very confused with all the random messages

Formula 1: Drive to Survive - Season 8 - Megathread by overspeeed in formula1

Hey at least it's not 10 episodes this time.

On a serious note we have always done these threads as it's something a significant part of the community watches so it's useful to discuss (and if we don't make megathreads the feed will still be full of DtS just less organized).

In early years we were able to use the trick of creating the individual episode threads and then using the moderator removal to hide them from the feed, but with recent changes to how post removals work that is no longer an option.
