Katsuya Posted April 15, 2018 Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 I love Danny Ricc as much as I'm rolling my eyes at Max Verstappen. What the hell was he doing in that race? Right from the off with the over-exuberant celebration of passing Lewis, he's starting to look really immature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the hell was he doing in that race? Right from the off with the over-exuberant celebration of passing Lewis, he's starting to look really immature. Well he IS 20 years old. Either way, he has accepted blame for what he did and apologized in interviews, so fortunately he still has some common sense, and won't turn this into a bigger thing than it has to. Still, he needs to learn a shitload of patience, it's obvious he's got all the talent, but during such a race when you're catching up massively, there's no need to pull the trigger at every possible corner. He got greedy, too impatient, and got himself a 10 second penalty and also ruined Vettel's race. The fact that Vettel was already losing massive ground to everyone doesn't even matter at that point, because Max fucked up. Having said all taht, very happy for Ric to get another win again. And it feels great to have three races, and no Mercedes on the top step of the podium. It makes me hope that this can keep up for the rest of the season, with Ferrari being the main competitor, and Red Bull the situational one when the track/conditions allow for them to truly compete. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LUKIE Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 Great race. It's quite interesting to see that any of the top three teams can win at any race, or faulter hard at any race. It's going to make for a very exciting season. Verstappen needs to pull his head in. He was told pretty sternly at the start of the race to do just that and still managed to crash into two guys.

Admin Lineker Posted April 17, 2018 Author Admin Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 Quote Formula 1 will increase race fuel allowance in 2019 to allow teams "to use the engine at full power at all times" and make grand prix racing less conservative. An increase from 105kg to 110kg, agreed in today's Strategy Group meeting in Paris and set to be ratified by the World Motor Sport Council, will be welcomed by the teams. They have faced increased fuel consumption due to the higher downforce levels and faster lap times generated by last year's aero changes, which have put an extra emphasis on fuel saving in races, something that is not popular with fans. Other changes for next season are the separation of the weight of the driver and car - with an 80kg minimum for the driver - and the use of biometric gloves for safety reasons. As reported by Autosport there was further debate on aerodynamic changes for 2019 to facilitate overtaking, and the FIA stressed that it wants a decision by the end of this month. The governing body noted that "discussions will continue on proposals relating to aerodynamics, with a view to taking a decision by the end of April, once research being conducted by the FIA, in consultation with the teams, has been concluded." The FIA also presented the latest version of its 2021 power unit regulations, noting only that the engine would be a 1.6-litre V6 turbo hybrid, with no MGU-H. This format was first outlined, with much more detail, on October 31 last year. It remains the subject of debate, with sources indicating that the FIA and Liberty have different views on some aspects of the final package. The FIA said that its technical department "will now meet with current and potential power unit manufacturers to discuss in more detail, with a view to concluding the 2021 regulations by the end of May". This is the rulemakers' first public acknowledgement of the May deadline for finalising the 2021 power unit regulations since Ferrari boss Maurizio Arrivabene revealed it last week.

Thank god for this change. Should mean that tall drivers like Hülkenberg aren't penalized for being tall, and that some drivers don't starve themselves to reach the lowest weight possible. Ex. look at Ocon's emaciated fat-less legs. All in all good sensible rule changes that should make races better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 It's not going to be much good if the driver has to float in the air above the car like that for the whole race. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
