re: 2024 Formula 1 season Thread

Yeah, I think they carry everything. Just have to find which channel it’s on. YouTubeTV is so convenient compared to how it was with DirecTV years ago.

And the biggest spread between teammates in FP1 is... VCARB. Yuki P6, Danny P13.

I read that VCARB is the only team that didn't bring upgrades to Imola. Which is funny because they are only a few miles from the track. But I think it's because they brought upgrades ahead of schedule at a previous race.

Looks like the grinning fool needs another chassis...

This is setting up to be the most exciting race in a while. Two free practices in the books and Red Bull is .5+ seconds behind. Would love to see McLaren and Ferrari fighting in the front Sunday Morning.

So many pics were taken to look at their underside. Now teams are catching up after all the engineers have been working on reverse engineering.

Ya, redbulls floor was like a aerodynamic masterpiece and everyone elses was pretty much flat.

Aston is fading again it appears.

The data from the first day of #ImolaGP tell of a #F1 ready to ignite if the trends seen so far are confirmed. #RedBull is currently in difficulty, with a balance that not only is not there, but tends to vary between the axles, causing a huge crisis #Verstappen . They will certainly be able to turn the situation around, but at the moment the gap from the top is 4-5 tenths (both on the flying lap and on the pace), so if they find the key they shouldn't be able to dominate (then never say never... .). #McLaren technically stunning, with an excellent level of load efficiency and a package that works beautifully. Just like #Ferrari , which seems to have changed its skin, especially at the rear axle, with a lot more traction, and above all a perfect balance between the axles, combined with a high level of grip which guarantees excellent resistance to lateral loads and therefore high speeds cornering. The load of the #SF24 is efficient, and on this issue the #RedBull seems to have achieved because McLaren, Mercedes, Ferrari and indeed RedBull all have practically the same top speed and a similar level of load. Setup and mechanics make the difference, without underestimating aerodynamic stability, a topic that has received much attention in Maranello after the enormous instability of the 23rd, and which is producing excellent tangible results, so much so that in FP1 the red car was the car least bothered by the strong wind. On pace #Leclerc with just more performance than the two McLarens, but with the two Woking cars insanely constant and scary from a race perspective. Qualifying will be decisive and the best hope that anyone who is passionate about #F1 can make is that the Imola weekend will maintain the expectations seen on the track today because it would be a wonderful spectacle.

Both Zo and the Mexican in the fence during FP3 and it looks like it may be a Ferrari/McLaren/RB battle for the front row.

Lots of cars in the gravel in q1

Ferrari chase max down after years of trying to then see McLaren's balls finally drop. They are crazy fast

Ferrari on meds so hopefully they have a lot left. sharles .06 down on meds that bodes well
