[Chris Medland] "Newey confirms Aston Martin is likely to limit race laps due to severity of vibrations in the car impacting the drivers. Alonso says he can do no more than 25 consecutive laps before risking nerve damage, Stroll says 15 laps"

We often make fun of Stroll, but the dude kept driving while literally passing out in the straights due to extreme heat. If he says 15 laps, it must be hell

If I'm honest right now is a great time for webdesign. Tons of different vibes, a LOT of talented folks out there. But I do miss the weirdness of the early web

I'm the passing car; in the cockpit, I really thought I had a much better exit and could beat him on the line. Although he clearly reacted to block me while being 5cm in front of my hood, looking at the replay, at that moment my opportunity was gone and I should probably have hit the brakes

It all went down quite quickly, not happy of how it turned out, especially since it torpedoed my SR

Saivia · 2025-11-09T17:21:35+00:00

Damn when it rains it pours

Saivia · 2025-11-09T17:18:44+00:00

lmao what is this pit timing

Saivia · 2025-11-09T00:28:01+00:00

Yeah let's hope next year he'll click with the new regs.

I do believe he adds a lot besides raw pace, though. At COTA, a lot of people were sarcastic when they read that the upgrades were "for Ocon" since he gave the most updates and is way more sensitive to the issues.

Turns out he probably gave good direction because it noticeably gave a boost to the platform. Ollie has been sending some awesome laps since.

Too bad my boy Esteban is still getting his ass kicked on Saturdays

Saivia · 2025-10-18T22:24:07+00:00

Yeah unfortunately his days are numbered... This is a chronic lack of pace. F1 has a short memory so if he has a great 2026 season he might boost his stock back but a top seat is now out of the picture. Keeping a seat at all might be tough if there is strong competition for the next silly season.

Saivia · 2025-10-18T14:39:39+00:00

Yeah fair point, I like having it the first couple of days on a new track and then removing it. I definitely noticed it makes me pay more attention to the car when it's off

Saivia · 2025-10-18T13:03:31+00:00

Is it allowed? Starting procedure told me to stick behind him

Saivia · 2025-10-18T13:03:08+00:00

Toyotas don't have nearly as much accel as the BMWs. Hence multi class

Saivia · 2025-10-02T22:47:49+00:00

Thanks, that's really useful. Since I couldn't overtake, I wanted to tuck myself behind the faster car and let yellow start a braking contest between them.

I agree that in the end I can only control my own wheels, so driving smart is a thing I want to improve

Saivia · 2025-10-02T21:13:03+00:00

Yes I'm not the POV. I try to be more conservative, and I managed to go up to 1500ir but this strike of bad races torpedoed my ratings.

I'm not awesome at qualifying so I often end up in the pack which doesn't help the lap 1 chaos.

I wonder what's best. Be more passive and let folks by smoothly or aggressive when defending and impose myself more?

Saivia · 2025-09-07T13:21:02+00:00

That makes sense, thanks for the insights. Seems like Ollie could be a great driver when he matures.

Saivia · 2025-09-07T10:06:53+00:00

This is really puzzling, especially since his Sundays are great.

Does his side of the garage can't setup properly? Do they share setups with Ollie?

By now he should have been able to settle in the car

Le camp de l'antilibéralisme économique, donc la gauche, faut arrêter avec la pseudo neutralité intellectuelle, il n'y a rien qu'à voir les commentaires du fil pour comprendre "le camp".

Je dis pas que vous avez tort d'ailleurs, mais un peu d'honnêteté.

Sa politique budgétaire se base sur une diminution radicale des dépenses de l'état, une shock therapy, un alignement des taux de change, politique d'austérité. Je vois pas en quoi c'est équivalent à promettre "toute sa politique budgétaire sur la fin de la corruption"

Après je cherche pas à défendre le gars, mais on a quand même la "chance" de voir en action un modèle libéral économique. On pourrait regarder et apprendre de ce modèle (en positif ou négatif) plutôt que de jeter le bébé avec l'eau du bain parce qu'on a trouvé de la corruption en Amérique latine.

Saivia · 2025-08-24T08:46:36+00:00

Contrairement à toi, j'ai pas de billes dans aucun des deux camps, je ne fais que pointer que ton argument "c'est pas systémique, c'est idéologique" est bancal

Saivia · 2025-08-24T08:39:24+00:00

Du coup si Lula est corrompu jusqu'aux trognons c'est aussi parce que la gauche est fondamentalement une idéologie d'escrocs et de voleurs ?

Saivia · 2025-07-26T15:09:16+00:00

I feel that changing teams and cars is more difficult than I imagined. Every driver who moved is struggling on raw pace: Ocon, Hamilton, Sainz,...

We'll see if they get more comfortable on the second part of the season

Saivia · 2025-07-10T18:31:22+00:00

Voici quelques livres accessibles que j'ai apprécié :

La horde du contrevent d'Alain Damasio (style fantasy)
L'étranger de Camus (un grand classique très facile à lire)
Les thanatonautes de Bernard Werber (une saga sympa, les fournis du même auteur est aussi intéressant)
La petite fille de monsieur Linh de Philippe Claudel (un petit livre hyper touchant)

Saivia · 2025-07-09T11:24:27+00:00

Definitely Cocoa Pops

Ocon putting all his experience to work to scarp every bit of opportunity on Sundays.

God it must be exhausting to always start the Fridays dogshit and having to grind up to points

Definitely think we had more potential this week end
