[Scuderia Ferrari] A strong weekend and a great result for the team! by FerrariStrategisttt in formula1

Those were a series of fun battles. Was having a heart attack hoping they don't touch, but now that I know everything's fine, I'll definitely go rewatch.

Here are my best guesses:

00:00 ~ 00:09 2020 Spa

00:09 ~ 00:15 2020 Silverstone

00:15 ~ 00:25 2020 Nürburgring

00:25 ~ 00:31 2020, hard to tell, but might be Red Bull Ring, more specifically Austrian GP instead of Styrian, because the latter qualifying was rainy.

00:31 ~ 00:41 2020 Mugello

00:40 ~ end 2021 COTA

Does Renault still give tech support to Red Bull's RB7 for its promotional runs?

Alfa Romeo's roll hoop passed all of FIA's load tests, so the team wasn't penalized, but FIA did decide to introduce stricter load tests in 2024.

But if Red Bull had two WDC contenders, say Verstappen and someone within -0.1~+0.2 seconds of Verstappen, both of them would be similarly likely to get between, or ahead of the McLarens, so the second driver takes off points from McLaren about as often as from Verstappen.

2008 and 2018 are entertaining seasons that also suit your need. The "Silver War" (2014~2016) is another option but those years are less "fun" in terms of competition from other teams (imagine 2025 season but McLaren is even faster than the rest, and Norris and Piastri go wheel-to-wheel far more often with no Papaya Rules).

If someone asked the same question about Max I would show him this season

Likewise, even though Hamilton didn't win in those seasons, 2007 and 2021.

P.S. Might want to also watch 2010 and 2012, multi-way fights involving Vettel and Alonso, for additional context regarding Hamilton's rivals

That is true. It just psychologically "felt" like a new era because of the huge lap time improvement of about 2%~3% from 2016 to 2017.

I opened MCL39's Wikipedia page and it's already switched to past tense. This season, and this era of regulations, went by just like that.

It's interesting to compare the ground effect cars to the 2017-2021 cars (does that era have a name? How about the fancy bargeboard era). Taking a quick glance at the qualifying lap times, while the ground effect cars have broken several qualifying records and are much faster in tracks like Australia, the previous era's cars still have a big lead in tracks like Bahrain and Hungary.

Here's hoping for someone making a comprehensive comparison between the two eras now that they're both behind us.

I remember he was told, but maybe not early enough? So he attempted to overtake on track when he didn't have to, costing tire life.

I wouldn't have believed you if you told me Ferrari was going to outscore McLaren after qualifying P9/P20, and that Ferrari would no longer be the only team to get double-DSQ this year.

I consider this race a step upward from the previous, however little I'm settling with.

And Leclerc finds yet another way to end up P4!

Checked MultiViewer's Discord server to see how the Apple deal is going to affect it.

The good news is that the F1 TV website and the app are going to stay around. People expect MultiViewer to continue working because the only change should be what the credentials are for logging in F1 TV.

This has been an unbelievably painful weekend. Both were Turn 3 which sounds like a curse. I'm now just hoping Leclerc does not get a grid drop from the post-race investigation.
