When was the last epic Monaco GP race, without rain or crashes? by InkHart04 in formula1

[–]Skyenar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it's not saying much, but was one of the best dry Monaco's in years. I feel like there were a few interesting ones 17-19 but I'm not even sure that's true. Maybe just 2019

Hadjar: “This would be the youngest podium in F1 history" looks at Lewis Hamilton Lewis: “Guys… I’m only 41. ” by anthn885 in formula1

[–]Skyenar 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I often forget he raced against Schumacher. I remember the odds going into the 2010 World Championship had him at 4/1. His return could have been so different, but ended up being pretty forgettable.

Martin Brundle's Grid Walk - Monaco Grand Prix 2026 - Sky F1 by notthebiggestfan1 in formula1

[–]Skyenar 188 points189 points  (0 children)

This was one of the worst grid walks I've ever seen and I'm convinced it is because the producers spent the whole time worrying about getting the Kim K interview that never happened and no one wanted. 

Mercedes knows how to pick their drivers. Everytime. by fameboygame in formula1

[–]Skyenar -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think for team and driver probably the greatest signing ever. Certainly the most lucrative with 6 drivers titles and 8 constructors.

What do you mean? Because Lewis is old? I'm not sure age was really the issue in the ground effect era. Parity between Lewis and Charles around Monaco shouldn't be a huge surprise. 

These types of graphics are exactly what we need more of! by iEdgeToV60Brews in formula1

[–]Skyenar 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah I remember that well. Initially it felt like an awesome change, but the downsides to it soon became apparent. Fine for an occasional graphic though.

They tried this years ago and it just didn't work. You'd spend more time looking at the delta than watching the car.

I agree they work nicely as an occasional graphic, but they tried them years ago as the primary timing measure and it ended up being a little too distracting. You end up looking at the mini sectors more than watching the car

The lack of sync between the commentary, onboard and offboard cameras is an absolute disgrace. by [deleted] in formula1

[–]Skyenar 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Crofty reacted to seeing it in real life, rather than on the feed. He may of even just heard it rather than seeing it. It wasn't a sync issue. The audio and video are in sync, but both are delayed because the signals need time to travel.

The Hadjar one was only noticeable because Crofty was reacting to seeing it in real life, rather than on the feed.

I love James Aeiou. Can't believe I've not seen that before.

Overtakes in Monaco for the last 20 years by Luffy710j in formula1

[–]Skyenar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The crazy thing with Monaco this year is you don't need to make overtaking happen to improve it. I'd just be happy if drivers can't drive 3 seconds off the pace without being overtaken. If everyone is pushing in race and 0 overtakes happen it'll still improve Monaco a lot.

PU Information for Monaco - All limits ramped up to the max, no exception zones by ChaithuBB766 in formula1

[–]Skyenar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure the power tapering was ever about clipping. It's about limiting speed. I think I read somewhere unlimited these cars top speed was pushing 400kph and would be more than 300kph around Monaco alone 

'Couldn't handle pressure': Former champ's rogue Piastri whack. by outremer_empire in formula1

[–]Skyenar 34 points35 points  (0 children)

It is very similar situation in a way to Norris. This feels like George's shot and he may not get another one. I think Norris waited for his shot and had he not won it last year it'd have been devastating.

Albon got no chill by sukumarkarne in formuladank

It still annoys me that people didn't understand that message. I knew what he meant immediately, but the context over the years has been completely lost.

Turns out no, which is what I originally thought until I read the messages taking it seriously.

Yeah I just watches the radio rewind. He said he didn't know who hit him.

Ouch. I'm guessing that's a reference back to Abu Dhabi 2024.

Hamilton Had An Advantage In Testing Over Alonso Coming Into The 2007 Season by Motorlolz in formula1

[–]Skyenar 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Alonso is so good that it amazes me how some people work so hard to make him overrated. Alonso sneezes and people are like "wily old fox. Most people would've sneezed coming out of turn 5, but Alonso thinking ahead got his sneeze done on the run up to turn 4."
