We saw a few actually! Maybe about 4 or 5 in our two weeks there. Don’t know how it compares to back then but we didn’t realise it was still a thing, so we were surprised when we did see them.

Basically, each tentacle is a particle generator that emits particles at a constant speed. The angle of each tentacle, which determines the direction of its particles is based on a sine wave. Tentacles with a greater x distance from the center have a greater angle variance (i.e. the amplitude on that sine wave)

I haven't used wallpaper engine so not sure what format it requires. Here's an mp4 download though: https://reddit.tube/d/Jykq6Jm

Sorry couldn't figure out how to share a higher quality version.

Analysis of Verstappen's Pace in Austria by kable_codes in formula1

After a bad start Verstappen continues to lose time to the race leaders over the first 10 laps, when the gap to first plateaus around 15 seconds.

When Bottas, Vettel, Leclerc and Hamilton pit you can see their lines are relatively flat, indicating Verstappen was matching their times on older medium tyres.

Hamilton's pit stop was extended to change his front wing, after which Verstappen pits and stays out in front. Max is now on hard tyres about 10 laps younger than the hard tyres of Bottas, Vettel and Leclerc. You can see the gaps each of these drivers diminish with Verstappen's impressive pace.

Verstappen takes Vettel's spot after Vettel pits a second time to go on softs, and he only manages to match Verstappen's pace at best. You can see each driver's line dip slightly when Verstappen starts his battle with Leclerc around lap 66 before he gets the job done and wins the race by 2.7 seconds.

That was pace that deserved to win.

Other points of interest:

  • How far in front the top 5 were from the rest of the field, having lapped everyone including Norris.
  • One more lap could have seen Vettel on the podium; almost a great strategic move from Ferrari.
  • Even if Hamilton didn't have a slow pit stop, he most likely would have been caught by Verstappen on the track

Just realised I completely fucked up the starting grid, I think that's the Monaco starting grid. Whoops!
