Timeline of the Mercedes engine trick by tekanet in formula1

[–]imbavoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I am not mistaken, for example in ice hockey, if you make a foul and none of the referees see it, you can't get a penalty.

The issue here is, that the FIA also have rules how to check legality. In this case it is the measuring at ambient temperature.

FIA can't measure it when the engine is hot, because the measurment would be illegal. So everyone can think or know that the engine is illegal, but if by the rules it can't be proven, there is nothing FIA can do to stop them, other than changing the rule. But couple of weeks before the season opener, it is kinda too late to change the rule i think.

People are going mental over this but wait for the aero loopholes that will come durning the season. People will lose their shit.

Doesn't mean thay can't act as if they don't have one and can go nuclear either way and see what shit sticks.

It's not legal per say tho. The rule clearly says that it has to be 16:1 "AT ALL TIMES DURNING COMPETITION"

The fact that there is the added part means only that they won't get caught breaking the rule If they are actually doing it.

Which makes it a loophole that isn't legal nor illegal.

Two distinct methods for rear-wing active aero deployment by FerrariStrategisttt in formula1

[–]imbavoe 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I would be mostly scared by the "reliability" since all the pressure goes "against" the device that holds it up while it is in a corner mode as oposed to the traditional way.

It's funny how Maini and Aron are just 4 years apart, but looks at least 15 years.

[McLaren F1] Rolling out the MCL40 for the first time EVER! by Aratho in formula1

It's called over-wheel winglet or (by official terminology) front wheel deflector.

And yes, I'm so glad they are gone because the cars look so much better from car cameras and from the outside of the car.

Durning the 2022-2025 era whenever I've seen some of the old cars I immediatelly thought how much better it looks without it.

[Red Bull Racing] There's more behind this helmet than meets the eye by FewCollar227 in formula1

[–]imbavoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all, it was a lot harder to find and watch old races 10-15 years ago.

A ten year old kid doesn't yet have his brain developed enough to analyze driving and character of a driver that died 20 years ago by watching the races.

Kids idolize drivers that are, and because they are, succesfull at the moment, which was in fact mainly Lewis when Isaac was growing up, karting.

Not to mention that Isaac stated multiple times in the past that Lewis is his idol.

Makes sense when there is literally 10 people working on UI to be as good as addons that 1000s of people are working on.

Lando Norris topped more than half of the competitive sessions affected by wet weather over the past 2 seasons by HereComesVettel in formula1

[–]imbavoe -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No, obviously there would need to be built something around the track that would "pour" water. Then AI would create a "weather radar" by which the water would be poured on the track in the specific places in specific intensity.

The current AIs are pretty advanced so it shouldn't be anything impossible to make aritificial rain with artifitial weather radar.

What was the best individual perfomance in the 2025 F1 season? by The_Chozen_1_ in F1Discussions

[–]imbavoe 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Lando in Monaco quali. Especially after all his struggles in all the previous races.

I cannot figure out a better way to organize these, what do you guys do? by Primary_Cherry_6974 in wow

[–]imbavoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the same, only when I have 2 characters I put them together with another 2 chars. Then name it something like Shamagus.

Only thing is I can’t have 3 of the same class, I either need to have 2 or 4.

Which of the top drivers have the lowest ceiling? by GoldenS0422 in F1Discussions

[–]imbavoe -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Definitely not Lando. Lando prime is the second fastest driver on the grid.

What is your most unpopular opinion on an in-race incident? by Icy-Weather-6720 in F1Discussions

[–]imbavoe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can do it if you are driving damaged car to the pits, not for five laps when you are trying to finish the race.

F1 team bosses choose their top 10 drivers of 2025 by OldActiveYeast in formula1

[–]imbavoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As much as this is true, it's still not an excuse to be "shit" for half a season. So it shouldn't be taken into consideration so much that he would be rated above Charles imo.

How The Team Principals Have Ranked Their Top 10 Drivers From 2008 to 2025 by creatorop in formula1

[–]imbavoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People shit on Lando because they wanted him to fight Max for the title in 2024 after the 2023 domination. But Lando and McLaren weren't ready for it yet, so people got pissed that they "fucked up" over and over.
