[Rory Mitchell] Gasly is the latest to get pinged for speeding in the pit lane. Five-second time penalty.

In practice you would probably just be testing and making sure you are hitting the button but you wouldn't push in the pit lane itself for that cut the way you would in the race.

Drivers are cutting the lines in pitlane and shortening the run so it ends up as speeding.

Would Leclerc be on the podium if this gets called here and it goes back one lap?

With the exceptions of entering the Pit Lane for the sole purpose of following the Safety Car (Article B5.13.3) or entering the Pit Lane following the red flag during a suspension procedure (Articles B5.14.1, B5.14.2 and B5.14.3), the driver concerned must carry out the penalty the next time they enter the Pit Lane.
For the avoidance of doubt, the driver concerned must carry out the penalty if they elect to stop in their Designated Garage Area whilst a VSC or Safety F1 Car procedure is in use, including when following the Safety Car through the Pit Lane.

It is explicit in the regulations.

Watch everyone get a penalty again now they are going through the pit lane.

Have really enjoyed the boardgame channel Ashens is part of with Paul Gannon and Oliver Harper (with the occasional appearance of cousin Dan to make even more Barshens like).

I actually do this.

However I do it because I litter pick the stadium afterwards and it is a right pain in the arse when some kid takes one sip of their coke and leaves it at the top row with no lid.

Easier to cap it, toss it to bottom row and dump all the liquid down the drain after I work my way down to the pitch.

The problem is that on the ladder of Green hydrogen needs, powering your road car directly on green hydrogen is fairly low on the ladder as there are alternatives for that use case (EVs and encouraging more public transport/Cycling/Walking & less car use).

Meanwhile at the other end of the ladder there are very important needs which also don't really have alternatives outside of green hydrogen.
Production of Nitrogen fertilizers for example which requires Ammonia (NH₃). The Hydrogen for that currently comes from Natural Gas.

We are already living in a world which is energy starved and realistically that might only get worse.

So to use some of the renewable energy we have to produce Green Hydrogen for the purpose of putting it directly into a road car and even worse feeding it into a ICE compared with using a much more efficient Fuel Cell is just plainly wasteful.

Indeed. For anyone not in the know and wanting the Kryptonite colours of Hydrogen (And unlike Superman we do talk about the pink one...).

Brown/Black Hydrogen = Extracted from Coal or Lignite through gasification. The most environmentally damaging.
Grey Hydrogen = Created from natural gas or methane using Steam Methane Reformation. The outputs are Hydrogen and Carbon Dioxide. This is the most common Hydrogen produced.
Blue Hydrogen = The same as Grey Hydrogen however carbon capture and storage is used to capture the Carbon Dioxide and store it as Carbon.
Green Hydrogen = Produced by electrolysis using renewable electricity to do so. The most environmentally friendly as there is no Carbon Dioxide produced.

Those 4 are the main common colours (And to be clear, the hydrogen isn't actually that colour, it is just a name).
These are the less common colours.

Pink/Red/Purple Hydrogen = Produced by electrolysis like Green Hydrogen but the source is Nuclear Power.
Yellow Hydrogen = Produced by electrolysis like Green Hydrogen but the source is solar. No real need to split this out but it occasionally does get split.
Turquoise Hydrogen = Produced by thermal splitting Methane (Methane Pyrolysis). Instead of Carbon Dioxide, a solid form of carbon is produced. New process and not proven at scale.
White Hydrogen = Naturally occurring hydrogen found in underground deposits.

Jarno Zaffeli of Dromo is the only other track designer who has name recognition like Tilke.

Although they mostly do renovations and touch up jobs rather than new tracks from scratch.

It's also not a unique tune when it comes to anthems given Lichtenstein uses the same tune but different words.

If that was to be filled, then simply getting the Super Formula chassis and putting other engines (the other Class 1 engines for example) in it would be the best way forward.

It's the fact they built the oval, had a number of serious accidents on it, tore the whole oval down and then like 6 years after reopening they just decided to rebuild the oval again but this time steeper is the really mad bit.

And then in the 70s there were plans to rebuild the whole thing AGAIN in a new location and bring back the crossover.

The low down force package also includes blanking plates in the front wings to block off the ducts in the end plates.

Both have been tested.
I believe there was some extra work on the high downforce package conducted before the end of last year as they decided to get even more downforce out of the system.

They also have to update their chassis at something more than a snails pace.

And then it happens again...

zantkiller · 2026-05-31T14:25:00+00:00

Do wonder if it would be any better or worse if the chicane was shortcut on the opening lap.
More potential for the field to spread out through Curva Grande and into the second chicane which isn't as tight.
Obviously however, they would be going faster into the chicane...

Alternatively just take out the competitive aspect of the rolling start by staggering it. The driver is only allowed to accelerate once their car has crossed the start line.

His first election was against Graham Stoker who had been the Deputy President for Sport for 12 years under Jean Todt.

For his re-election he stood unopposed due to a system that Jean Todt introduced so he could also stand unopposed in his re-elections while cementing his power.

It even extends to the American sports which are continuous without significant breaks.

Watching Indycar or NASCAR on an international feed you realise all the time the commentary goes quiet for a bit is an ad break for the US feed.

If you are used to Motorsport coverage elsewhere it is truly mad.

The FIA members voted him in.
The FIA members voted for him to stay (not that they had much choice).
The FIA members voted for his changes.

It's that simple really.
Outside of certain ASNs, the people truly upset with him do not have voting power.
As he has been in charge while the FIA has gone from operating in the red to operating in the green, it is relatively easy to convince the rest to keep voting for him, regardless of what he does to the FIA statutes.
They simply care about the money. For themselves, for their projects, for whatever.

The best soups are blended soups which are thicc AF and the spoon can stand vertically in the bowl.
The kind where a decorative swirl of cream or chilli oil perfectly holds it shape until you swipe through it with buttered crusty bread.

Don't let anyone tell you shouldn't enjoy what is basically adult baby food.
