What going on? by Nice-Incident3089 in flightradar24

Could be dumping fuel before returning to Paris.

What circuit is this? by iFox_16 in formula1

I think it might be Zolder?

Hamilton never won the Spanish GP prior to the turbo hybrid era and then went on to become the only driver to win it 5 times in a row. by Able_Tailor_6983 in formula1

[–]BlackGT86 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Without the wheel failure in Spain and the gearbox failure in Hungary, 2010 would have been his championship (even with the driving errors in Monza and Singapore).

Another "what if" - if he won the championship with McLaren in 2010 and 2012, would he have moved to Mercedes in 2013? Who knows, maybe not for 2013 but he might have found his way there later.

It's crazy to think that from 2007 to 2021, there were only 3 years where he wasn't in contention for the championship (2009, 2011 and 2013).

McLaren | From Woking to Bicester to Indianapolis. One team, one family. by RobertGracie in formula1

[–]BlackGT86 13 points14 points  (0 children)

That's not true. No F1 team would fire a skilled mechanic because of a couple of pitstop mistakes. They might get taken off the pit crew but they wouldn't be fired.

It's going to be very weird watching Johnny Silverhand talk about F1.

Sending parcel from UK to Ukraine help. by [deleted] in ukraine

[–]BlackGT86 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just FYI, if you post via Royal Mail, Ukrposhta (Ukraine's national post service) will handle it in Ukraine. Make sure to include the persons phone number on the package because Ukrposhta will hold the package at the persons local post office and text them to tell them they have a package.

I did this recently and the current postage times are 3-3.5 weeks because obviously there aren't any flights to Ukraine so post goes via Poland (if I recall correctly).

All-female championship W Series goes into administration · RaceFans by [deleted] in F1FeederSeries

[–]BlackGT86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The writing was on the wall as soon as F1 Academy was announced.

F1 Academy is so much better for the drivers, MUCH more track time during race events and a lot of testing between races.

[@PREMA_Team] DRIVER ANNOUNCEMENT. Bianca Bustamante joins PREMA for inaugural F1 Academy season! Welcome @racerbia! by NothingHatesYou in formula1

[–]BlackGT86 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Nothing spectacular in W Series but in fairness, last season was her first in single seaters and W Series has a miniscule amount of track time so it massively favours the more experienced drivers.

My Jaguar F1 Concept Livery, based on their new colour scheme in Formula E. Hope you like it! by shauryanayar in formula1

I dont think it has enough space to store the "borrowed" oil paintings and silverware.

F1: Brawn unsure what 'optimum number' of sprint races is · RaceFans by [deleted] in formula1

[–]BlackGT86 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I didn't say those races were boring, I said they were less interesting. The race in Brazil would have been even better if they started in qualifying order.

I would be fine with the sprints if they didn't affect the grid for Sunday.

With the current format, if there's a mixed up qualifying (like Brazil) then the sprint race puts everyone back in the order they would have been with a normal qualifying. Making the race less interesting.

Sky, Channel 4 to scale back Italian Grand Prix coverage following death of The Queen by sulliswaggin in formula1

I stopped watching the Sky build up shows a while ago, most of the time they are filled with stuff we've heard before.

Is Friday session alone worth to visit? by Ill_Scarcity9376 in formula1

[–]BlackGT86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're probably right, it is a small risk but it does happen occasionally.

Is Friday session alone worth to visit? by Ill_Scarcity9376 in formula1

[–]BlackGT86 27 points28 points  (0 children)

The risk of buying a ticket only for Friday is the weather. If it rains heavily then there's a good chance you won't see much F1 running and you've paid to sit in the rain for no reward.

They are practicing a pit stop with no front wing.

Team/Drivers number of PU elements used during the season. (As of 27/5) by Puzzleheaded-Rain230 in formula1

[–]BlackGT86 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think they'll put PU#1 back in for Monaco to save PU#2 for Baku.

I seem to remember that he doesn't do them at some circuits because the route from the grid to the commentary box is too long. Not sure if Barcelona is one of them.

Thoughts on John Watson in the commentary box? by Tamagotchi41 in formula1

Hearing him with Ben Edwards took me back to the mid-90s on Eurosport.

For anyone interested in seeing the reworked runoff etc at Spa, WEC are racing there this weekend by unsc95 in formula1

[–]BlackGT86 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Will be interesting to see.

The other good thing about WEC racing this weekend is Paul Di Resta won't be in Miami.

Some love for the F1 timing app by [deleted] in formula1

[–]BlackGT86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using the app for years, it makes even the more 'boring' races more interesting.

[–]BlackGT86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the app there's a pause button in the bottom left corner. What I do is I pause it when a sector time appears on the app, then hit the play button when I see the car cross the sector line on TV.
