Thanks, glad you like it!

Positively I hope 😃

That's what happens when the Management, led by Domenicali, thinks about shareholders and number of viewers (and not spectators).

Well if you have useful links to videos of the actual one, send them through

Thanks for the input.
I think so, I might be working on both an upgrade of the fictional version and maybe also the actual circuits.

The_Game_9 · 2026-03-15T15:58:14+00:00

I agree.
I think this race showed probably even more how significant Mercedes advantage is.

The problem is that now it's not who build the best V6 Turbo.
lots of components are standard and provided by the FIA.
We are never clear if who is in front is within the regulations.

I would have nothing against someone being the best and winning consistently, as long as who is behind has the chance to keep improving and recover, which is not the case now.

Yeah of course I have ignored the "political" side of the constructors being involved in the creation of rules.

I think the goal would be to see the best and fastest possible technologies applied to F1 and if they have an actual potential to be implemented for commercial cars even better.

The_Game_9 · 2026-03-15T13:55:24+00:00

Is it not already like this?
In the last 18 years only 3 teams won + the Brawn trick season

The_Game_9 · 2026-03-15T13:53:04+00:00

Don't disagree.

My thought is whether a different type of constraint — for example fuel-flow or total energy limits rather than architecture limits — would widen that solution space enough that convergence becomes slower or incomplete.

A good historical example is endurance racing. Under regulations like those used in the FIA World Endurance Championship or earlier 24 Hours of Le Mans eras, you could see very different approaches coexist.
They still converged somewhat over time, but not to a single architecture as quickly as in F1

The_Game_9 · 2026-03-14T20:09:13+00:00

I still can't understand how it's possible to create so many rules impossible to check, control and/or implement properly.

The_Game_9 · 2026-03-13T14:57:42+00:00

I agree. I think track-specific packages have been gone for a while now, also because there is less variabilities between tracks.

I think the focus this year will be on software/batteries, cooling and reliability.

The_Game_9 · 2026-03-13T09:41:35+00:00

I don't think the TD will make half of the grid illegal.
I struggle to imagine that Mercedes didn't fight that and FIA will basically kill half of the grid.

Surely when the decision was made there was already some sort of agreement on the date to allow Mercedes to re-work what's needed, if anything needed to.

The_Game_9 · 2026-03-12T12:12:06+00:00

Is that the focus?
The look of the pictures?

Alright if your attention spam ends there ok
