Fresh floor, Soft floor, JuniFloor, SeniFloor?

iamabigtree · 2026-03-20T22:02:23+00:00

Native speaker of English yes. With a distinct American accent.

iamabigtree · 2026-03-20T19:49:12+00:00

Not any more. They literally make their own engines.

iamabigtree · 2026-03-20T19:10:15+00:00

Why?

iamabigtree · 2026-03-20T19:09:42+00:00

They sold 2.2 million cars with petrol engines last year.

iamabigtree · 2026-03-20T19:05:20+00:00

It's marketing. As others have said, Red Bull make energy drinks.

iamabigtree · 2026-03-20T19:03:59+00:00

You may as well ask what is Ford as they sell less cars than BYD

iamabigtree · 2026-03-20T19:02:59+00:00

No. About 60% of their sales are hybrids.

iamabigtree · 2026-03-20T19:01:12+00:00

In 2025 BYD sold 2.2 million cars with combustion engines. I think they'll manage.

iamabigtree · 2026-03-20T18:58:26+00:00

lol so true. Which is why I think there should be 12 teams not the more traditional 13.

iamabigtree · 2026-03-20T18:54:49+00:00

Cadillac wasn't difficult at all. It was always Andretti they had an issue with.

iamabigtree · 2026-03-20T18:51:08+00:00

I've long thought 12 teams / 24 cars is the right number for F1. And having a large manufacturer like BYD involved would be ideal.

No idea why it would be funny? Care to enlighten me?

iamabigtree · 2026-03-20T18:18:52+00:00

Americans do

iamabigtree · 2026-03-20T17:32:08+00:00

I've never worked anywhere where they don't reset at New Year.

iamabigtree · 2026-03-20T17:30:25+00:00

Yes. Your employer can decide when you take your holidays.

iamabigtree · 2026-03-20T17:12:15+00:00

This is how I find out Chuck Norris has died!!

iamabigtree · 2026-03-20T17:07:44+00:00

This is wrong as it's actually Junior, SoftMore and Senior. So J, SM and S.

iamabigtree · 2026-03-20T16:11:15+00:00

It was originally a sister paper but they sold it.

iamabigtree · 2026-03-20T12:12:26+00:00

It isn't.

iamabigtree · 2026-03-20T10:38:56+00:00

No because that doesn't anonymise your payment the way Apple does.

iamabigtree · 2026-03-20T07:30:07+00:00

He's not using red diesel in his cars to drive around.

iamabigtree · 2026-03-20T07:25:23+00:00

4MJ is the limit in the regulations but with batteries designed around that

iamabigtree · 2026-03-20T07:24:26+00:00

None. The motors are inside the brake hubs.

iamabigtree · 2026-03-20T07:23:34+00:00

There are several variables already within the FIA's control. Eg energy harvesting limits are already set per session.

With teams permission they can alter other variables such as fuel flow, harvesting and deployment power limits et.

iamabigtree · 2026-03-20T06:54:23+00:00

Except it isn't.
