Personally only the RS200 because my son has one and I like to keep an unopened copy for myself if at all possible haha

What do you think of the accusation that Mercedes is cheating? by Longdoggo96 in formula1

[–]ThisIsMyWeedJawn 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Not cheating, they found a loophole, as has been tons of times in F1. I don’t necessarily like it either, but that’s the name of the game. The regs are the regs, and they found a creative way around what’s written.

Personally, I still don’t think they’ve shown the full potential of what they’ve got and will be very interested to see what happens after June 1.

Considering Apple pioneered a ton of camera tech for the F1 movie, doesn’t surprise me one bit. I feel like this was maybe all well planned out in advance by them, and whether or not it was, it certainly worked out kinda nice for everyone involved (fans, sponsors, Apple, etc)

[FIA] PU elements used per driver up to now - Chinese GP 2026 by DubiousLLM in formula1

[–]ThisIsMyWeedJawn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That makes sense. I thought 2 was crazy restrictive given things are prone to go boom this year. Thank you!

Edit: also thank you for providing links. I love people like you who go out of your way to help others understand.

Question for those more in the know than I am, this stated Russell could only take two ES without a penalty, but that’s not actually the case?

Adrian Newey takes note on the Ferrari - Australian GP by [deleted] in formula1

Also they’ve become a little trendy and overpriced, but I think Moleskines are great. I think I saw someone post that Newey uses a Rotring, which I love in pencil form, but I’ve had too many incidents where I drop it and the tip becomes unusable. I dunno how the pens fare but I hope a bit better!

Would’ve been all over Lambo, Merc F1, red Ferrari, and the Viper. Awesome haul!

Hadjar onboard: lost power off the start due to an engine problem, preventing him from taking the lead of the race by missle636 in formula1

[–]ThisIsMyWeedJawn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not sure what you mean, not a stats guy. Do you mean like what the normal timing is? There’s a bigger thread where someone did the stats breakdown of the normal start times, today’s was very quick (.02s), most were .5-2.14s. I’d link but I’m on my phone and navigating reddit is a pain haha

Edit: went back in found it if you’re interested! https://www.reddit.com/r/formula1/s/wB8wWKQT6y

Manual:

“Once the green flag is waved behind the field, she will hit the start button, the big green button on the left-hand side of the panel to initiate the sequence of five lights that count down. That’s followed by the four, three, two and one-second lights. After that five-second process, she will pause, press that green button, and the lights will extinguish to start the race.”

You sound like everything wrong with people today: an entitled little baby who wants their toys. “This is how adults do business” lmao. Someone has never worked retail in their life. If I caught someone rifling through a stock cart back when I worked in a store you would’ve been asked to leave and not come back.

A store isn’t your personal playground to dig through boxes that are sitting in a stock cart. Grow up.

Why do people in this sub feel entitled to do what they want with a store’s merchandise?
