Yeah, have seen that. Horner said they know it is the fuel system, but not sure what.
Saw other specualtion of the fuel pump location and not an actual failure.
Then even more about the fuel RBR is running becoming too hot and vapor locking the lift pump.

The new fuel is breaking down the resin/plastic coating the electronics in the fuel pump which then causes a short circuit.
I almost opined earlier that it would be interesting if the higher ethanol fuel caused the issue. I actually typed it and deleted it thinking it was silly since the issue is so widely known in the car industry at large that there was no way they would screw that up.

While its still race day, I have one more opine. I bit my tongue till after I could see it during race...
I hate the new Sky Sports graphics/side bar. I cant point it out but I just had a hard time following the graphics and font size. I want last year's back. Did they do away with live splits and "striking distance" graphics?

Lots of complaints about the new graphics. Wouldn't be surprised to see them have a big overhaul or revert back.
The new font is terrible to read from distance.

Why? The racing has been good this year. Maybe the best it has been in years. Just like any other racing series, it has it shares of good and bad races. F1 is the same way.
I have found it be very boring, and it takes all fricking day.

This I have to refute. Hamilton has never spent a season in a mid-field car in his entire F1 career or won in a mid-field car.
The MP4-24 was absolutely midfield caliber

Fair enough. Some races can be boring and some can be long. Every racing series has their flaws.

I just like how Nico said doing what it took to take a championship off of Lewis nearly cost him his marriage lol. Meanwhile hamilton catches flack on the reg for being an unfocused jetsetter when not on track.

3rd in the WCC is not a mid-field car first of all. However, the salient bit is both Hamilton's wins came after the significant mid-year updates that brought the MP4-24 into parity with the BGP001 and just a step behind the RB5.

It is a point of contention across the web. I have to say it doesn't bother me. I wouldn't have noticed it outside of just being different. I will say I almost always want more or different telemetry than is shown. However, I recognize what I want at a particular time is different from what I want 4 laps from now and wholly different from what you or someone else might want. I don't know if they have done away with the striking distance graphic but at least at the pointy end of the field I don't think it was relevant today. Outside of the pit cycling most everyone was visually in touch with who they were racing. That stat is useful when someone deviates on tires and is charging to the lead from 30 seconds back.
My only complaint about telemetry is the web-based telemetry is behind my stream which I can't (or at least don't know how to adjust) if the stream was behind the race stream I could synch them up by pausing the race stream.

Yes. Just revert back to last years graphics. Something was off today and agree it was harder to follow for some reason.
Maybe they need more data on the cars for the striking distance graphic. But like someone else said, I can’t really recall where it would have come it or play today anyway.

They were a point ahead 4th place ferrari and like 60 points off second place red bull. A grid average driver in place of hamilton has mclaren finishing fourth or even fifth that year. A clear midfielder.

ESPN on my tv runs 8-9 seconds faster than my tablet does that runs the timing chart. I just pause my tv for 9 seconds at the beginning and I'm good to go.

Seriously? 2nd in the WCC and Nico won more races than Lewis in that car and races were won in both the Ferrari and Lotus behind them.
I can stamp y'all if arguendo the definition of mid-pack is anything other than the dominate car but beyond that just no.
By luck and talent/realized talent Lewis has spent more time in a championship capable car than any other F1 driver ever except arguably Schumacher is first on that list. That is a major reason they have 7 and Senna only 2 plus he had Prost but he also had shite racecraft and a bad time at Tamburello. BTW I didn't like Senna just giving the devil his due. Sometimes 65 is greater than 103.
Lewis has spent 10 seasons in a championship-capable car, MSC with 11 seasons.

This will always remain tGOAT of F1 graphics. Anyone that disagrees with me can come fight me at Sonic this weekend after qualy.

Where do you draw the line? The 2013 Merc had as much chance of winning a title as the Mclaren in 5th place.
Like looking at the 2014 RBR and saying they were championship contenders because Danny Ric was driving out of his mind.

It would have been great had Hamilton hit Perez when he killed the car and Russell on the podium with the Red Cars.
Here's how close Lewis came to hitting Perez when he spun on that last lap. Took some lightning reflexes from Hamilton to avoid running into the side of that Red Bull.

I don't know, maybe cars that are in the middle of the pack? It really isn't a hard concept unless you are trying to bend it to favor an argument. I have never once heard anyone argue a top 3 car was middle of the pack. It would only make a shred of sense if 2-7 were so evenly matched as to not be able to differentiate them. Front runners don't always equal potential championship winners.
This discussion isn't about cars capable of winning a championship anyway. It is rooted in the declaration that Lewis won races in mid-pack cars. Lewis has never driven a mid-pack car in his F1 career unless you start talking about backmarkers being from 4-10 (or however many teams there were in a particular year).
The 2013 Merc was capable of winning races on the right track, hell Rosberg won twice as many races in it as Lewis did.
The other poster tried the 2009 Macca and when the only races Lewis won in it was in the second half of the season when they caught up to Brawn. In that 8 race run Lewis had 4 poles and 2 wins and should have won another from pole except his brakes had a fluke failure while in the lead. That car was FAST when he won.
As an illustration of how I see winning in a mid-pack car I don't believe Senna could have put a mid-pack car on pole at Monaco and prime Kimi (when he was faster than MSC) couldn't have won at Spa if he was given pole.
