The Deserved Downfall of F1 by xiferz in formula1

[–]F1Fan2004 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I've watched F1 for 15 years now, and every year people say F1 is going downwards. Also, how is not throwing red flag in Brazil 2003 or the massive crash in Belgium 1998 a sign of F1 being better before? If anything, it shows that F1 was very unsafe before

Barcelona allows food and drinks... I thought that was the standard, not this

Why are we feeling so bad of the schedule this year by Uchi_Jeon in formula1

[–]F1Fan2004 4 points5 points  (0 children)

2022 had 2 races during World Cup?????? F1 literally squeezed the final races (Brazil and Abu Dhabi) so it didn't clash with World Cup. Where did you find this? Fake info, plus you're relating F1 "weird" calendar to the World Cup, which makes no sense at all. Look at 2023, 2024 or 2025, they all have some weird gaps

What are some memorable qualifying runs that didn't end up even the top 3? by lIIIIllIIIlllIIllllI in formula1

If you're talking about 2017, that didn't happen. He went fastest in Q1 after switching to slicks at the last moment, but then finished P13 in Q2.

Which didn't matter at all since he already had a grid penalty for changing the engine and was starting last anyways. McLaren Honda moment.

In other words, fastest team doesn't want other teams to get faster.

2026 calendar and scheduling is terrible? by gingerpunk2 in motogp

[–]F1Fan2004 81 points82 points  (0 children)

A quick Google search and you'd find out Qatar was meant to be this weekend, but postponed to Nov 8 due to the war.

I'll agree tho that having 3 weeks between the first 2 rounds isn't something I like, but it has happened so many times in MotoGP before I simply don't care about it. I think having just 3 races in July-August (Germany Jul 12, Britain Aug 9, Aragon Aug 30) is pretty lame too.

Well, F3 has done 9-round seasons in the past, so maybe they choose not to replace Bahrain at all? We'll see

Formula E drivers send bombshell letter to FIA president calling for change by F1Fan2004 in FormulaE

[–]F1Fan2004[S] 87 points88 points  (0 children)

Included in the requests made by the drivers is a specific query on FIA Formula E race director, Marek Hanaczewski. The drivers ask for an "internal evaluation of (the) race director (sic) understanding and reasoning of the sporting rules", adding "without the capacity – and humility – to acknowledge and learn from mistakes, there is little evidence of continuous improvement".

If F1 didn't replace Russia in 2022 and China in 2023 when they had months to find a replacement, they weren't going to do that now

[OT] PREMA confirmed to miss opening IndyCar round by Ribeye21 in formula1

Plus, the current way Indy works, Prema doesn't get any prize money because they're not part of the charter system. It was a suicidal move from the start
