One thing that really stood out to me after watching this last season of DTS is a lot, if not most, of the drivers are pretty likeable guys. May be an unpopular opinion but I was sort of surprised how most of them, despite their on track whining, seem like good guys that would be fun to hang out with.

I’m actually trying to think of one who came off bad and I’m drawing a blank.

I'm assuming you're using irFFB? I couldn't stand the default FFB on iRacing.

Mercedes is done if Angela is bailing out on Lewis.

In all seriousness, it is going to be odd not seeing her around the paddock as she has been a fixture.

Dang Barry, that is a sick set up. Makes me want to build a rig. I have the F1 games on Xbox and it's not enough.

Did I hear correctly that both Ferraris already took new power units? Sheesh.

I believe you heard correctly. No penalty but yikes it’s only the second race.

yeah

Norris also has a new power unit (ICE, turbo, MGU-H and MGU-K), while Perez has a new control electronics and energy store #F1 #SaudiArabianGP


along with norris and checo took some new parts too.

so here is where we stand:

quote:

New PU elements:
ICE (2nd of the year) - Leclerc, Sainz, Norris
TC (2nd) - Norris
MGU-H (2nd) - Leclerc, Norris
MGU-K (2nd) - Norris
ES (2nd) - Perez
CE (2nd) - Perez, (3rd) - Leclerc (+10 penalty)

you can justify it in your head if you do the math that its still 50% of the cost to buy a shite box to autocross, or at least that's how it phrased it to my wife.

That is the exact argument I used on my wife. "Would you rather me buy this stuff or an actual car?"

And you're not burning off a $1600 set of tires in a parking lot.

One of the best posts in an F1 season thread I've seen - this guy gets it.

Hear me out....

Ferrari knows it isn't a penalty to take a new PU.
Saudi is a high speed track where a new PU will give them an advantage.
Ferrari playing 4D chess.
