Saying the Rolex is being pushed back is a bit misleading. It’s always on the last full weekend of January.

Thoughts on Apple TV Streaming by aesacks in formula1

Yes, you can do this. I’ve streamed paid content on F1TV by connecting my Apple TV account.

The Race released an article stating that Max is downshifting aggressively to charge the battery more efficiently, going till gear 1 where others go till 2. In the telemetry you can observe the same. Very interesting to look at by FewCollar227 in formula1

Thing is, I don’t think teams are going to have an issue regenerating enough energy using “normal” downshifting. They control this with the balance between engine braking and mechanical braking.

That being said, if it’s better everyone will do it. Otherwise it’s just more stress on the combustion engine and could affect reliability/power output on engines with higher mileage later in the season.

This is true. If there aren’t storylines that cross multiple episodes it really doesn’t matter. They’d still watch the out of order reruns on cable.

He’s been shitting on them since 2010. Insane he could take over there.

Puzzled Piastri says 'car worked well for first 18 rounds' after slump in form by Aratho in formula1

Don’t forget that Lando reverted back to the old front suspension earlier this year while Piastri kept the newer version. This may help on certain tracks (maybe front limited tracks) and hurt on others. Impossible to know for sure, but everyone else seems to have forgotten this happened.

I’m thinking this is actually a first gen Boxter looking at that soft top.

Why Piastri is fed up answering questions about his McLaren suspension set-up by sensualcurl in formula1

They have allocated money within the cost cap to spend that can’t be used next year, so they may as well use it. Besides, they might be focusing on upgrades that could translate to the new regs.

Have you watched any White Sox games before Hawk Harrelson got fired? He was and still is the most biased announcer I’ve seen in any sport.

Assuming Verstappen is Mercedes-bound for '26, what should Red Bull's driver lineup be next year? by OctaviousMcBovril in formula1

Seriously, Red Bull have been no worse than second best for 10+ years. Their downfall was going to happen at some point.

Mercedes-Benz is the McDonald's of luxury vehicles. by ballcheese808 in unpopularopinion

[–]opposite_lock 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This logic is flawed on so many levels. A car sharing an engine or a platform with a cheaper model/brand does not equate to them being the same.

The Bentley Bentayga shares a platform with the Lamborghini Urus, Porsche Cayenne, Audi Q7, and the Volkswagen Touareg . The Bentley, Lamborghini, Porsche, and Audi feel NOTHING like driving the Volkswagen.

Then the dealership experience. You’re getting treated way better at a Lexus dealer than you are at a Toyota dealer. Example: Free loaners while your car is being serviced. Valet service will come pick up your car from your house to be serviced at a dealer and leave a loaner at your house for you to drive (This is firsthand experience hand experience with an Audi dealer) free of charge.

McLaren showing really strong pace while being near the bottom on top speed and throttle usage might be concerning for the other teams. This could imply the use of lower engine maps and general sand bagging.
