that feels kind of weird to me. by some very similair logic the correct move for hamilton going into the left hander was to just turn across max and push him off on the inside. the overlaps were about the same at both of those points.

i dunno, i probably lean too far the other way in practical f1 terms, but i like seeing cars go side by side while on the track and thats just not happening any more

this feels pretty relevant again today. if theres a wall there at t1 max doesnt push lewis off and we get a proper race between them. its such a shame

ban wrap assasin tbh

it baffles me that f1 cant seem to work out track limits when everyone else can. surely its 2 options, you let them go anywhere a la indycar, or its white lines/outside of kerb everywhere a la WEC. f1s never been good with this but im not sure ive ever seen the track limits change between sessions in any other motorsport, its bizzare. also enforcing white lines means you gotta stop letting drivers push each other off the track like leclerc did to norris.

all the time you have to leave da space.

race was still nuts though im hype af

i like not being one shot to 1 scatter and one self damage rocket when a scout runs round a corner into my face

that honestly felt like the only significant thing that changed with the gunboats damage, youre actual teamfighting is exactly the same, maybe on rare occasions you get to live for one more rocket with the extra 30 health.

scout speed changed 2 things for me, the first was that beam scouts were way less oppresive in teamfights as meds positioned further back with their lower escape, second was when meds did step up it was much easier to punish as their dodging/surfing is a bunch worse. i dunno if these were positive changes for the whole state of the game but my mid soldier brain appreciated this very much

winger good, process good, projectiles good, solemn vow probably op

motogp never fails to deliver

insanely good racing and an insanely good championship this year

so, 2 months ago or whatever etf2l said they wanted to do a bunch of test cups with all of these changes. everyone (rightly) asked for a season so the plugin tests got moved into the season instead of cups. im still not convinced by some lines of reasoning theyre using for some of the changes, but if the idea is to test stuff you probably want an overwhelming majority of people saying no.

ive no doubt into the new year there will be more polls about this season that will have their results adhered to.

this is what makes sense in my head but idk anything more than anyone else

lmao, if that gravel trap was bigger he wouldnt stop until next week. mercedes right to be scared of these kerbs, looked like that caused strolls puncture

also why is david croft insistent on getting everything wrong. obviously a front left failure wouldnt do that, hes been commentating on motorsport for as long as ive been alive and hes dumb af

the giovinazzi onboard was scary, reminds me of the billy monger crash where he lost his legs

the fuck was that restart

also this race has exceeded my wildest dreams already, even if nothing else happens. i was so ready for an awful race here

etf2l pulling the long con of announcing the season for this year so everyone gets off their back, then not having a season anyway

in a sky interview last week(?) albon said that no teammates hes ever had set up a car more oversteery than him, until max. if albons calling the car hard to drive its sure as hell going to be hard to drive. when you combine that with the fact that max is the greatest talent to enter f1 since hamilton, i dont think more than a small handful of drivers would even be close,

that said i would love to see condifent-again pierre give it a go next season. after the last 2 years he damn well deserves it

honestly im just so glad there was a fight for the win on the last lap. its been like 7 years since ive been that tense at the end of the race and i fucking loved it.

what a drive from pierre. what a race.

sometimes i wonder why i still watch f1 when motogp has racing like that

hulks a beast but 4 times world champions dont forget how to drive overnight. somethings not right over there
