Well the FIA knew about the fixed race before they even certified the championship result. So if cultLH thinks Max should have an asterisk next to 21, then lewlew should for 08.
The downforce efficiency plot for Saudi qualifying.
Merc has poor correlation.

Where did you get this graph?The downforce efficiency plot for Saudi qualifying.
So their floor still doesn't work lol. Was Merc dominance in the past solely down to engine power? IIRC, in the previous regs, they ran bigger wings than Red Bull.Merc has poor correlation.

There's a Facebook page where they do a load of data analysis of F1: https://m.facebook.com/profile.php/?id=100087481221011

Came across this video and found it so amusingly bad that I thought I should share it here, especially since there’s no race this weekend.
A funny comparison: Pato O’Ward finished fourth in 2023 in the main IndyCar series. Jamie finished twelfth. In the supporting series. She’s currently in 20th this year. If Pato isn’t likely to get a seat, why would a team give a seat to someone who finished 24 laps down in their last race? Not even Lewlew’s diversity pushes can bring you up with those results.

In the Indycar thread I was talking about how fucking bad she was in nxt last weekend. Fucked the car then just screamed at her team without articulating what was wrong.
I ain't watching that shit, how the fuck does she think Jamie's better?

People are always desperate to be victims. Women already get their own subsidised special retard series nobody watches because they suck too much to compete. Not to mention, if ever a woman was able to perform (even at Latifi/Mazepin levels) she'd be snapped up quicker than you can say 'PR and Sponsorship billions'.
There is no glass ceiling in an industry like this, where every team and sponsor would be desperate to have you if you were even remotely qualified.

I've certainly never seen a driver forget/miss/not care that the race is over and blat it round for another lap before. And I still haven't because I don't watch that shit, I just heard about it.
Clearly some way to go before getting to F1, oh wait she's 20 and hasn't got to the point where she's ready for F3 yet, so not happening.

Those glasses are photoshopped, right? Right?
Lewlew reminds me of this guy:
Lewlew looks less like a F1 racer and more like a late-millennial/early-to-mid-zoomer Soundcloud rapper

Well you're half right. He certainly wishes he was a famous rapper (then he'd have some street cred with the African muricans he really wishes he was one of) so his shit will be somewhere out there on the likes of soundcloud. But he ain't no late millennial, he's the "hello fellow kids" kind.
So in other words, F1 racing's own Dan Nainan, a failed standup comedian who pretends to act he's a millennial to sell his audience of millennials and zoomers, but is in reality a sad, pathetic boomer

Slightly tangentially but I really hated how much they lorded hambone as an ambassador for the sport with all his fashion, music, social media nonsense. Pre DTS they kept believing all his faggy shit would bring the "wider audience" in to F1 and went as far as giving Seb shit for keeping his private life private and refusing to constantly be on social media.
Of course the people hambone was appealing to with his gay shit wasn't going to translate into motorsport fans and just served to pin the hopes of the sport on fickle insta fashion and shit music followers.
Now I often see (idiots) on social media complaing the same shit, that Max has no passion and is really bad for the sport (as if hambones "wow thanks everyone at the factory" victory speeches were so emotive).
1. you don't drag people into liking motorsports by flouncing around in some fashion abortion.
And
2. Max is passionate, to an autistic level, about motorsport. His popularity in streaming will translate to people into sim racing maybe checking out the real thing (and yes there are lots of fans of simracing that aren't fans of real motorsport for some reason).
Hell Max was streaming iRacing till after 2am before the Saudi GP, then still smoked the field. Hence this meme

I know one. They couldn't quite articulate why they had zero interest in the real thing which I couldn't fathom.

Look at Danica Patrick. Spent 10 years in Nascar and had sponsors lining up to be on her hood, sold a lot of merchandise despite being concentrated puke. Compared to her teammates who were racing for championships, she was struggling to stay on the lead lap. Hell, there are tons of female drivers who outright suck (Deegan, Decker, Breidinger, etc.) who still have sponsors falling over themselves for them. The second a girl comes along who can compete with the men, she'll be more marketable than Hambone guaranteed.
The suits pushing for a "more diverse audience" failed to take into account that people aren't suddenly going to like motorsports because some guy in it is spouting all the Current Thing catchphrases. Left-wing progressive zoomers and People of Melanin who like motorsports would be fans with or without Pewis Pamilton saying #BLM on Instagram and dressing like a Studio 54 reject.

It must have hurt Indycar the most because Danica at least was adept at open-wheel stuff. They really could have needed that popularity boost.
