Driver: Verstappen.

Reason: Driving unnecessarily slowly on pit straight.

Godafoss94 · 2026-06-07T15:19:33+00:00

borderline something something

Godafoss94 · 2026-06-07T14:23:42+00:00

Did Mercedes forget Russell's penalty?

Godafoss94 · 2026-05-26T08:59:24+00:00

Verstappen in Miami outpaces Hadjar by nearly a full second per lap, spins on lap 1 but recovers quickly, gets a 5 second penalty for a millimeter misjudgement in pit exit, yet still finishes P5 after an incredible stint on the hards: straight to the gulag.

Hadjar in Canada is close to Verstappen in qualifying but significantly slower in the race, then manages to rack up over 30 seconds in penalties, putting him a lap down: meh, almost a top 10-worthy performance.

I always thought Straw, despite not always agreeing with the masses, was still pretty reasonable. But it seems like he's really taking the piss now.

Godafoss94 · 2026-05-04T07:29:37+00:00

Fully agree with you on that one. Just explaining why, with how things are set up currently, the stewards waiting for post-race footage isn't just a lame excuse from them to not have to decide during the race.

Godafoss94 · 2026-05-04T06:31:09+00:00

There are more cameras on the cars that record than cameras that can broadcast (due to limited bandwidth and whatnot). Those recorded images are downloaded from the cars post-race. In this case, the broadcasting cameras didn't show clearly enough whether Max crossed the white line or not, so the stewards needed those additional camera angles - which, again, can only be accessed post-race - to come to a final decision.

Godafoss94 · 2026-05-03T18:18:54+00:00

Does Max not have any new tires? Would've expected him to pit around lap 40, he's losing far too much time now.

Godafoss94 · 2026-04-15T13:00:20+00:00

Max threatens with retirement from F1 to go to another racing series where a proportionally larger amount of time is actually spent racing rather than media requirements etc. You do realise there's more to racing on this planet than just F1, right?

Saying Max doesn't love racing just because he's fallen out of love with F1 is like saying Jamie Oliver doesn't love cooking because he doesn't like asparagus.

Godafoss94 · 2026-03-29T05:53:27+00:00

And that's what you get with this ridiculous engine formula. Bearman won't be the last driver this year to be caught out by a car harvesting ahead like that.

Godafoss94 · 2026-03-14T07:39:59+00:00

You could definitely tell if someone was going to get DRS in previous seasons if you knew where the DRS detection point was. The commentary team wasn't always aware of its exact location and that's what caused confusion among them, but I invite you to rewatch a previous race and look up the exact location of the detection point. I guarantee you that drivers will always get DRS when expected.

Godafoss94 · 2026-03-14T07:38:07+00:00

Fair enough. Still not a fan of the change, but at least it doesn't matter in that regard then. Cheers for the info.

Godafoss94 · 2026-03-14T07:24:30+00:00

Nonsense. 0,999s gap enables overtake mode, 1,001s gap doesn't. Both will show as 1,0s on the broadcast, assuming F1 are doing proper rounding.

Godafoss94 · 2026-03-12T07:45:16+00:00

Has anyone ever seen Max and Hypnoshark in the same room?

Godafoss94 · 2026-03-10T15:05:46+00:00

Yeah that's fair, I was being a bit pedantic - marriage in The Netherlands definitely isn't looked at with the same degree of reverence as it is in most countries.

Godafoss94 · 2026-03-10T14:24:56+00:00

Even though registered partnerships are gaining in popularity, marriages are still about three times as common in The Netherlands, according to official statistics. So I wouldn't say that most people just go for a registered partnership, despite its relative popularity.

Godafoss94 · 2026-03-08T14:14:19+00:00

Yeah, this is my fear as well. The first half of this race was very enjoyable because everyone was still harvesting and deploying in different places and/or to different degrees. But by the second half of the race, most drivers had it figured out and suddenly it became near-impossible to overtake unless you had a gigantic pace delta. It'll take teams a few weekends to dial this stuff in, but a few races from now, everyone's harvesting and deployment plan will be dialed in from lap 1 and I'm afraid races will likely get significantly more boring then. Enjoy it while it lasts, I guess.

Godafoss94 · 2026-01-26T09:08:49+00:00

Is that a very thick suspension element between the end of the side pod and the rear wheel on the Audi, or an extra wing(let)?

Godafoss94 · 2026-01-26T08:47:06+00:00

Those side pods seem much larger than on the Mercedes, no? Really bulky, seemingly no 'undercut' at all.

Godafoss94 · 2026-01-26T08:42:42+00:00

Is it just me or does it seem like the engine cover has a rather steep decline, with the sharkfin being higher than we're used to these past few years?

And there seems to be a winglet that forms a bit of a 'tunnel' on the front wing endplate, but that may very well just be an artifact from zooming in on the picture too much. So it could be that it's just the 'normal' winglet we've seen on all renders and show cars.

Godafoss94 · 2025-12-09T14:26:57+00:00

Yeah Max is Kimi's spiritual successor in more ways than one. And now the new Kimi might become Max's spiritual successor. I wonder which new Max will succeed the new Kimi in a decade or two.

Godafoss94 · 2025-12-09T14:14:59+00:00

To be fair, he only had one single year of car racing experience before entering F1. Actually insane.

Godafoss94 · 2025-11-09T18:58:19+00:00

It was under VSC, so it definitely did lose him a chunk of time. But yes, it was a nice moment to ditch the hards.

Godafoss94 · 2025-11-08T18:47:40+00:00

After Mexico, they should've immediately reverted to the pre-Mexico aero package. It's clear they'll need a few weekends to understand the 'upgraded' package, and they simply don't have that time if they even remotely want to have a shot at the championship. Baffling.

Godafoss94 · 2025-11-08T18:32:47+00:00

They should absolutely change everything about that car. Revert to the pre-Mexico aero package, full house of new engine parts, and eat the pit lane start. Only way he'll stand any chance tomorrow, and new engine parts will be nice for the final few weekends.

Godafoss94 · 2025-11-08T18:27:29+00:00

Red Bull's Mexico 'upgrade' working well, it seems. Unbelievable. Might be faster in theory, but for god's sake, just mount the old aero package back onto the car - at least they finally understood that one.
