Even though it's another Max pole, top 4 separated by a tenth is pretty dang exciting. COTA delivers an exciting set of qualis, per usual!

This 1000x. The "I could do this the whole time??" Moments are so incredibly cool, and I've never felt smarter than when we pieced together the final puzzle

As the other commenter said, there is a lot less dependence in Stockholm on cars than most places. Sweden has extremely low poverty rates anyway, and has pretty.good systems in place for the poor

Man, with how relatively few sets people have left this will force some strategies. You'll like... know when your competition has to pit, basically

[–] frank@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 years ago

Ah this is great! Thank ya

Anyone have a list of what tires teams have left? Going through 4 sets will be interesting

[–] frank@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 years ago

Yeah, that's interesting to me. That all 3 compounds have the issue.

I don't know! First time since 1963 that the track limits changed mid-weekend. I'm not aware of a limit placed on laps. Obviously 2006 USGP comes to mind but the manufacturers never admitted a problem ahead of time.

His final lap looked out to me too, I was yelling at the TV 🤣 surprised it stayed, but it was on the hairy edge either way

It's only to explore new track limits in T12

Yeah, I understand pirelli's desire to have the ties make it to the end of the race. But also: don't hit the kerbs that your car can't handle, as it always is.

So the kerbs have been there (and I believe on the outside of other corners too). I wonder if they'll make moves to modify them after this year. Qatar is here to stay; contact is like 9 more years or something

Woah, that would be an interesting rule, forcing a 3 stop. Clearly have the safety of drivers in mind, but what a weird development

Sure, but my critique is more "is their article worth making based on minimal findings and one person's suggestion in quote form?"
