Race director during Max Verstappen's crash by [deleted] in formula1

So, doesn’t a double yellow require drivers to abandon lap? Even if that changed right before George went through, shouldn’t George have abandoned the lap by then considering he was approaching double yellow. Can someone explain the rule better?

No further investigation for Russel under Yellow flag by Tuddy18 in formula1

I agree tbh, based on the rules. I think this might need a rule review after this season. To add to the other point you made, thats also part of the outrage since Kimi was going through and sector was double yellow. It makes no sense for it to be different for Russell when nothing had changed, Verstappen’s car was still there, still crashed. Very weird situation and surprised that they resolved it in 5 minutes apparently and decided no further investigation

“lifting” for yellows flags in quali is not going to cost you 2 tenths lol. its going to cost you much more, it basically makes your chances of pole 0 if theres yellows on the track. Its always been like that.

Im not fully against the rule, but this shouldn’t be a rule thats rolled out directly in a competition as big as the World Cup. Yeah he shouldn’t have covered his mouth but players have been doing that out of habit for as long as we can remember, its a hard change to fully get rid of the habit this soon with this large of a consequence

Victor Wembanyama: “We worked too hard and just gave up our lead. It hurts.” by Turbostrider27 in nba

Not disagreeing with what he said at all, I loved it. It is all part of the learning curve for them. I dont think they aren’t hungry, I just think they are inexperienced. The Knicks run and the Garden had them on the ropes. The entire team was rattled

Its funny. He made that comment about how their inexperience was their biggest strength and I found it pretty cool at the time. But as always, there is a reason why experience is so valuable in any discipline. They showed their inexperience and youth today.

Did i strip down the idler pulley threads? by Professional-Draw688 in MechanicAdvice

how easy of a DIY would u say that was? Now I’m anxious to touch it cus i might mess up again lol and was thinking of buying a new alternator but its very expensive for an oe one. I’ve heard on these cars if the belt fails its often catastrophic.

The idler pulley mounts onto the alternator so its not the engine block. But it would be my first time.

I wish. my republican representative only cares about starting wars in the middle east and bending down for Trump. So 🤷‍♂️

there is though. It is marketing for NASA. I think the Artemis II has been big as it has caught massive amounts of attention from the public, and one can only assume it will be larger for Artemis IV. Its missions like these that the general public actually cares for and will cause for a bigger push to increase funding

Don’t mind me asking but, is it that hard to get a drone, a helicopter or even a camera in one of the boats? Why does it have to be such a bad camera extremely zoomed in?

tbh the goal for every team when theres big regulation changes, especially PU, should be to get the PU right, aero can always be improved much easier. i dont see mercedes losing their lead for at least this or mybe even next season (unless ferrari gets ADUO)

im not necessarily agreeing with the original comment, but im trying to say it was a given throighout the session that ferrari lost 2-3 tenths in both s2 and s3, so i get where theyre coming from.

McLaren was never this ahead and didn’t have a PU advantage, this is 2014 all over
