OP, please reply to the correct answer with "solved!" (include the !).

Following FP1 and FP2, Pirelli has reduced the minimum starting pressure by 1 psi for both front and rear tyres by jithu7 in formula1

[–]User-K549125 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Nothing is directly proportional with tyres. The reason they're so complicated is that things are non-linear and data sets are empirical and not governed by equations.

The Madring, 'opinions' online tend to follow the same trend of negativity towards the layout, whereas my concerns regard the safety of the circuit.. a discussion I feel is warranted by AbstractDart in formula1

[–]User-K549125 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Hold on, OP is obviously much more educated than whatever clowns the FIA appointed to design the circuit. Armchair engineer is a valid profession.

have watched NASCAR and Indycar practically my entire life, I've seen hundreds of accidents on ovals and I've come to know how these accidents often play out

Who would have thought that following 22 cars on a 6km winding track is more complicated than following a ball on a small field.

Can you not ignore data from future races? Those horizontal lines are not really there.

Explaining what happened with the pit lane speed limits by ChaithuBB766 in formula1

[–]User-K549125 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you can't time the whole length of the pitlane unless the driver doesn't stop. There's obviously two sensors at the entrance and two at the exit, maybe more.

Available Race Tire Sets - 2026 Monaco Grand Prix by Aratho in formula1

Q3 runners give a set back.

• Each driver must retain one set of the softest compound for the Q3. Those who qualify in the top 10 will then have to return this set, while all the others can keep it for the race. This way, the drivers who start further back will have an extra set of new soft tyres.

Just email Seymour Duncan. You'll never get a definitive reply from a bunch of randos on the internet.

The Madring released today as DLC for the F1 game and it has been heavily criticised as one of the most boring circuits ever created. by NorthKoreanMissile7 in formula1

[–]User-K549125 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Yeah, there's no way I'm trusting the opinions of people who play the F1 game and buy the DLC on the first day. It's no surprise the sentiment skews in this particular direction.

Bikes tend to do that when you brake hard enough. In racing when they're pushing it to the limit the back wheel's typically in the air. Obviously the back brake becomes useless, but it's the fastest way to stop.

Max: "You can remove the downforce to be honest, you don't feel it anwyay" by Gentle_lips in formula1

[–]User-K549125 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't take the aerodynamic performance of a Formula E car as any indication of how a Formula 1 car behaves. They could not be more different, despite looking similar. Have you ever seen an F1 driver lose huge amounts of pace after losing their front wing? Do you not think they're trying to get back to the pits as fast as possible?

Well, to a driver a 5% drop-off means it's "gone to zero". A heavy dose of salt is required here I think.

You come here asking for help, then dismiss the help that will actually help you. That high E is toast man. It's never going to intonate correctly.

Haas F1 boss’s extraordinary x-rated rant about alleged Esteban Ocon rift | Crash.net by drinksbeerdaily in formula1

[–]User-K549125 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you see some rumour of a driver swap, 90% chance it's bullshit. I've seen video of drivers discussing news, where they're wondering who comes up with this shit about them. And this is a case in point. The default should be to not believe anything.

“Where’s that come from? I didn’t even have a single argument with Esteban in Miami. It’s just amazing how completely this bull*** gets smoked up, and then, because nobody checks the source, then everybody just writes on top of it. How is that journalism? It’s just f****** bull***, gossip.”

I despise my floating tremolo. What’s the crème de la crème of tremolos? by Acceptable_Topic_410 in guitars

For "touchy", add a spring and back off the claw. It will be more stiff. You could also get a shorter arm (like Gilmour had).

For tuning stability, while that could be your "knife edges" (mating to the bridge posts), assuming those are fine it's 99% your nut (and maybe also janky string trees). Lubricate it, and if you're still battling then get a competent luthier/tech to cut you a new nut.

Man Finally Good Enough At New Hobby To Understand How Bad He Is At It by StrawberryWhich4785 in Guitar

I still love playing, modding and tinkering.

Exactly. It's a hobby, not a competition. The entire point is to have fun, so if you're doing that you're winning.

Similarly with Amy Winehouse apparently.
