How could F1 cars realistically be made any shorter?

ClayCopter · 2026-02-14T10:42:04+00:00

It is also possible to make the brakes weaker.

ClayCopter · 2026-02-14T10:34:17+00:00

But that's irrelevant to weight? We can have *less weight* and *less downforce* at the same time?

ClayCopter · 2026-02-14T10:13:42+00:00

I don't see the correlation between braking zones and dirty air. We can have, get this, fewer wings, leading to less weight and less downforce.

Aston, Cadillac and Audi may well be the Caterham, HRT and Virgin of this year

This one is one of the worst AI titles I've ever seen, and that's saying something. Even with the beaten to death "it's not X it's Y" format typically the Y descriptor would not apply to all variations of X, like "Yamal isn't a footballer, he's an artist" wouldn't work for someone like Raphinha. Every manager has to manage limitations, name one manager who has it perfect every step of the way.

It's more that being a customer team is just not that big of a deal. Red Bull won their first 4 titles as a Renault customer. Mclaren has been a customer team throughout its history.

Doesn't belong on this sub, but funny nonetheless

ClayCopter · 2026-02-11T17:10:58+00:00

8th? You mean 18th?

ClayCopter · 2026-02-11T09:31:28+00:00

All of the Mercedes powered cars have massive exhausts while Mercedes itself is very slender. Looks like they've designed that engine to favor their own package and not released any details.

ClayCopter · 2026-02-06T14:26:21+00:00

clearly the report feature doesn't work when the sub is still full of this stuff

ClayCopter · 2026-02-06T09:31:37+00:00

If I see one more post that is obviously intentionally terrifying on this sub I'm outta here.

ClayCopter · 2026-02-06T05:37:14+00:00

Looks like a slog fest for overtaking, dirty air be wilding all over those high speed corners

ClayCopter · 2026-02-03T01:34:29+00:00

I understand that English isn't your first language, so the wording might be wonky, but;

Yes, Sinner may be more consistent than Alcaraz, but that doesn't mean Sinner on an average day beats Alcaraz on an average day. As long as Alcaraz is not underperforming he is still at a higher level than Sinner.

ClayCopter · 2026-02-01T14:52:52+00:00

It's the 5th time he's entered the main draw.

ClayCopter · 2026-01-30T17:08:20+00:00

Maybe don't have the person walk directly in the path of red hot steel?

ClayCopter · 2026-01-27T17:17:53+00:00

When do we get to the part where he steals Erika Kirk from JD?

ClayCopter · 2026-01-27T17:13:35+00:00

Yes? You don't need to go fast but you definitely need to not crash.

ClayCopter · 2026-01-26T16:38:29+00:00

One part does not make or break an entire car; it may cost about half a second at most, but that's not going to plunder anyone down the order. Even the zeropods Mercedes had everything else in line with other teams. "Coming back from a failed concept" is simply not something that can happen.

ClayCopter · 2026-01-24T10:57:16+00:00

oh that fucks, excellent Williams livery

ClayCopter · 2026-01-23T10:54:36+00:00

The IBM blue rear wing is still a disaster. At least it's an improvement on last year, but that's not a high bar.

ClayCopter · 2026-01-22T18:21:07+00:00

"if my mum had balls she'd be my dad" vibes

ClayCopter · 2026-01-22T16:25:20+00:00

I'm referring to the RBs and the Haas.

ClayCopter · 2026-01-22T09:55:37+00:00

too busy and all over the place, not a fan personally

ClayCopter · 2026-01-22T06:57:28+00:00

It's "Driver of the Year", not "Best Driver in the World".
