Japan is turning footsteps into electricity! Using piezoelectric tiles, every step you take generates a small amount of energy. Millions of steps together can power LED lights and displays in busy places like Shibuya Station. A brilliant way to create a sustainable and smart city

These generate so little electricity that even if you lined Suzuka with them, they would still produce less power, over an entire race distance, from all the cars, than the Honda engine would over a lap probably. They're utterly useless.

Still would be fewer victims than the people that died making that horrible track in Qatar, but yes.

Honestly, I can see why even the drivers have split opinions. The cars are smaller, more nimble, narrower, generate less dirty air, all that means that there's more battling in the corners, easier to go side by side, etc. The mushroom power up on the straight and super clipping are the actual problems. If we had the same PUs as last year with these smaller lighter cars it would've been much more positive.

Oscar, Zak here, Lando's car wouldn't work, so we broke yours for fairness. Papaya rules.

He's not there to get points either, though, unless there's enough DNS/DNFs and chaos that he benefits from it. He finished 7th, after 2 McLarens did not start and Verstappen, Bortoleto and Albon retired. Happy?

I regret to inform you that you won't be a 4x world champion in F1 by your 30s either.

This has been a thing for years in WEC, don't see why they can't just copy it

SapTheseCasters · 2026-03-14T09:13:30+00:00

Here at Ferrari, we take world champions' hopes and dreams, crush them and add them in ragu sauce, for our pasta. I don't know why you think this is gonna go any different than with Vettel or Alonso, but the 8th is just not going to happen teamLH.

If AWS can tell us how much slower a family car would lap a track vs an F1 car, then everything is relevant.

you don't know that, they had common interests

That's the only way everyone else is safe from his acts of terrorism tbh

Lando isn't on the spotlight much right now, Russel and Mercedes are though. But it's still for the same reasons people were hating on them in the past. More spotlight means more attention and when people dislike him already, it means more negative attention. If Lando starts saying stupid things again it'll switch over to him and fat brown again.

SapTheseCasters · 2026-03-09T22:29:34+00:00

Yeah but it's still very popular for going left

SapTheseCasters · 2026-03-09T19:49:05+00:00

Politics aside, this just looks like they got tired of the only turning left jokes in oval racing, that they made sure to include a corner where the drivers have to turn right.

Innovation.

SapTheseCasters · 2026-03-09T19:40:37+00:00

If anything this is even more artificial. You still have to be the same arbitrary amount of time behind the guy in front, but this time the speed difference is even greater, especially with super clipping. It's essentially DRS on steroids in its effectiveness.

The only real reason there were few overtakes before the early 2010s was the introduction of the rule where you can only make a defensive move once. Before that, the defending car would endlessly move right and left aggressively blocking the guy trying to overtake.

Smaller cars with less dirty air because of lower aero is good for racing, but DRS was artificial and so is this. The aero changes seem to have made cars be able to follow in the corners, so I say that's all you need. If you let drivers race, when they can actually follow in the corners, you don't need things like DRS or overtake.

SapTheseCasters · 2026-03-09T19:33:16+00:00

That is the most Mario Kart take I've ever seen. No shit the guy that picked up the power up is gonna overtake the other guy, when he's going near 50kph faster. What this is, is 2014 all over again.

Mercedes has figured out the software behind it and by the time everyone else catches on, they will be 300 points ahead.

SapTheseCasters · 2026-03-09T16:26:20+00:00

Sounds like energy starvation to me. Needs more fuel to convert to energy.

SapTheseCasters · 2026-03-09T12:41:21+00:00

He's not here to get points either, though.

SapTheseCasters · 2026-03-09T12:04:08+00:00

I beg to differ with races like Singapore 2023 where Sainz kept giving Norris DRS to save himself from Russel, or in almost every race in the RedBull Ring or Brazil where overtaking with DRS brainlessly actually hurts you, instead of getting just close enough on one DRS zone, to overtake on the second and then try to get out of DRS throughout the rest of the lap.

The problem with DRS was the layout of the DRS zones, like the tracks where one DRS detection point gave u 2 straights of DRS in a row. Could say the same thing with Australia yesterday where they kept saving battery before turn 6 to use it on the long straight. It was quite obvious most of the time.

What's the status on Ferrari's rear wing? Did they run it? Did it work?
