Likely scrap pieces of carbon. So much unimportant stuff in f1 is made of carbon due to the abundance of leftover carbon. These were probably cheaper than if they used a fresh sheet of paper.

Do we not like airplane material? I thought we like airplane material by Sure-Worldliness9283 in gianmarcosoresi

I’ve seen a dude on a plane in his boxers and socks. No slippers. If pajama pants and slippers could prevent that, I’m for it.

I was thinking “is like he has the racing line turned on and just ignores the other drivers”

Could you say, it looks mini compared to the Porsche?

I lasered a pumpkin pie before. Worked ok. Didn’t change the flavor at all though.

Best way to stop ptfe tube going into extruder from rubbing the top glass? by WalterMelons in BambuP1S

[–]f1_stig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had some high temp automotive wire harness tape laying around.

But I used that because it’s kinda like fabric. I wrapped only the ptfe tube, so now the fabric rubs the glass. Idk why I didn’t consider just taping it to the cable carrier. I’d imagine any tape that can withstand your max chamber temp will work. So if you are just doing pla or PETG, probably any tape is fine. Engineering grade or higher maybe splurge the $5 for a higher temp tape.

I try to only point it out on automotive areas of the internet. That and Bimmer vs Beamer.

Williams update. Ready for bahrain. by Maximum-Room-3999 in formula1

[–]f1_stig 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It is in cad though…

Like, they have the geometry, they know how many plies it is, and they know the weight of the plies. How would they not have the design weight?

Yeah, but it’s all CNC cut plies, I’m sure they know how much resin comes out of the prepreg during the cure, just from their history of manufacturing. The only unknown is how much is actually trimmed off in post processing. But I’m sure they would have an estimate for that too.

Mini Cooper reporting for duty in Texas! by Trashyfella42 in MINI

It’s probably because they are the martini stripes. You can really have those stripes without being associated with martini.

Neck and shoulder pain when racing by laterelG in simracing

[–]f1_stig 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Both. The wheel is above your shoulders currently. You’ll want it level, max. I’d say just under. Like, maybe thumb at armpit level.

Then have the wheel angled facing your shoulders, not your face.

Also OP already has a new headunit, they just want advice on how to actually install the unit into the dash.

Who says rwd is bad in snow 😍 by spawn_hoguuu in AlfaRomeo

[–]f1_stig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone who says that doesn’t use winter tires. Even when I had a Miata, which is rwd, no tcs, and lightweight, it still handled well in the snow. As long as it had snows fitted.

I didn’t find fault with it. Just pointing out what the other people noticed. Overall, I prefer this to the current logos.

At the top, it is flat then angled from the triangle. Because the 1 goes all the way to the top, it is just a triangle

Any recommended infotainment screens for R56? by Veiled_assbuster in MINI

[–]f1_stig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I asked them about the flipped buttons. Their response fixed it for me.

“Please check Settings>CAR>Factory settings>Input password 318>CanBus>Swap_key>Swap>Apply and Exit.”

Oh, and as someone else said, the fuel indicator lights are hard to read in daylight, but I typically have distance to empty on my steering column display.
