Also for these penalties, why don't they just let them execute the pit stop then start the time penalty? They hae the little red/green light thing anyway.
Or draw square boxes around each stall about 2 feet from car on all 4 sides and they can’t cross it with feet during the counting. Would be easier ro see for officials too.

For us old timers who've watched F1 going back to the late 80's; seeing both McLaren and Williams at the bottom of the table is something that still just doesn't compute. Even after watching them both methodically slide year after year, it just doesn't sit quite right.

A couple of awkward moments during the weekend telecasts.
Question to the Williams paddock started out with "with Frank Williams now dead". WTF?
Second, in Q1 one of the announcers was asked to take us through a lap and it was "uh, uh, uh..." I ithink it was Damon but I could be wrong.

As an aussie I am naturally following piastri.
Been impressed with his speed after 10 or so laps.
1st race was gaining places before the tractor gave up.
Last race he caught up to a group of 4 cars just before the yellow flag and mclaren kept him out and didn't even gain a place.
Naturally everyone on new rubber moved away from him while Norris was able to pass.
Aussies traditionally have been hard on tires but from the first 2 races Piastri gives me hope we have an aussie who can gain places on old rubber instead of going backwards halfway through a stint.
I read all this in the voice of Steve Irwin.
Are you Brad Wing?

The guy who asked the questions to the top 3 after was the worst. It was like he was just wanting to start drama. His first or second question to Checco was about Max getting the fastest lap in the end so Max is leading the cup and not him. Then he said the same thing to Max trying to bait him into a answer that might stir the pot. With Checco and Alonso he talked about how they both had sweat on their brow so it must have been a tough race. I'm like you get three questions with each guy and this is the stuff you're talking about.

All the media people ask the same questions different ways hoping for a sound bite so they can stir shite with headlines.
Teammates answer a question the 'right way' 19 times, but the 20th they don't have enough inflection and that is the headline.

Could you imagine a Senna in today's F1. We couldn't handle what Mazepin did when leaving F2.
Posted on 3/20/23 at 6:25 pm to fightin tigers
But Senna was a great driver. Mazespin? Not so much.

Not as strong an accent after living in Louisiana the last 21 years.

I've been impressed with the driving of the three rookies so far. None of them have binned a car and all have driven solidly given what they have to drive.
Yup, with Mazepin, Latifi, and Schumacher gone, Sargeant, de Vries, and Piastri have collectively been a large upgrade in talent. This bodes well for more good battles in the mid-field, and less frustration with backmarkers causing yellow and red flags.
Also Yuki (Year 3) has been driving solid if not spectacularly. Zhou (Year 2) has been OK, and Hülkenberg has been solid in his return.
Can't wait for Australia! Remember last year Albon started P20 and went 57 laps on a set of hard tires, waiting until the last lap for his mandatory pit stop. He entered the pits in P7 and came out in P10 just ahead of Zhou, holding him off for a spectacular and wholly unexpected points finish. I hope that inspires someone starting near the back to try a similar strategy this year.

I guess you could say Prost's as well.
I always like the MP 4/5B a little more. I like the raised airbox and the fact that it was the car where the V10 was introduced by Honda to F1. Always find it interesting that they bailed on the v10 and went with the v12 after only two years.
Still shocking to see how small the cars were back then. They are downright tiny, especially compared to recent years. Also, the tobacco sponsorships were so iconic, not that tobacco advertising is a good thing, but it seems a shame it's gone. The money they brought into the sport and the sheer number of drivers that they backed going away has hurt the sport as well.
Funny thing is the "Mission Winnow" sponsorship that Ferrari had for years is just a thinly veiled Phillip Morris ad. Going to their website is hilarious. It's the most vague buzzword filled copy about "change and reframing conversations" that basically comes down to "we're a shell company that was created to get around tobacco advertising laws."

A Better Tomorrow is Mclarens version of hidden tobacco.
The Ferrari barcode was one of the best.
