re: 2024 Formula 1 season Thread

It seems like I looked into F1tv last year, and it looked like it would be difficult to watch on my tv. Is that not true then or now?

I don't have an elaborate computer setup, and my eyes are too old to be watching anything of value on my phone.

F1TV subscription.

I had it a few years back and during the off season it was awesome to watch the archived races from the 80's and 90's

Is there a way to rewatch the current year's races on F1tv?

Can you "record" them like on youtubetv?

It's Rawe Ceek.

It's a Tilke track.

The layout was inspired by the Chinese character shang ? which is the first character in the city name Shanghai.

Yet another former F1 driver is putting in his two cents over Danny Ric's struggles. This time it's three-time race winner Johnny Herbert, kind of the Sergio Perez of his day. Herbert has a bizarro theory that I don't think makes much sense.

Herbert thinks that the younger drivers' embrace of sims gives them an edge over the older drivers?

quote:

---

Discussing the similarities between champions Michael Schumacher and Max Verstappen, Herbert emphasised how important simulation work is to a modern F1 drivers’ performance.

"I remember Michael used to do a little bit of sim work at Ferrari. And he was quite sick when he was doing that. So he really suffered doing the sim work. When Max does it without problem whatsoever when he’s doing the Formula 1 sim. But also when he's doing his racing sims like Lando Norris as well. And it's a skill that has become a seventh sense in Formula 1. They’ve gotten better as time has gone by, but they are very, very much now an important part of a driver's feel with the car itself. Not a feel with your fingertips, but a feeling within your brain, your brain adapts to it without thinking about it.

“I think Daniel Ricciardo when he was with Lando at McLaren, for example, suffered, because Lando was the ‘sim man’. And Daniel wasn't. And I think that's where the struggle was.”

Coming up on Shanghai, let's look at some facts:

1. Danny has raced in Shanghai eight times, and won one race.
2. Yuki has never raced there.
3. There is only one practice session before sprint qualy.

Given Danny's vast experience and previous mastery of the track, and the fact that there is just one practice session before the first qualy session, Danny should have a significant advantage for sprint qualy. Given Danny's qualy record so far this year, just qualifying ahead of Yuki will be seen as a "win," but for me, unless he has a significant gap (at least 0.3s I guess), it won't be very impressive. After the sprint race, I'm not sure what to expect, whether Danny "should" still have an experience advantage going into the main race qualy.

Like you mentioned, I think if he gets blown out by Zuki despite his experience at the track, we won't see him in Miami.

If Yuki beats Danny this weekend, the snark will go through the roof. But because Danny is backed by Horner, I think he gets more races, maybe 8-12 total to show improvement. But for every consecutive race that Yuki beats him, the pressure to give the seat to Lawson will continue to mount.
