Jenson's Understeer

Three races down and as F1 heads into its unexpected early season break, I've finally had a chance to total up the scores from the first two races and provide a bumper update! Given there have only been two races it will come as no surprise to anyone with half a brain that every TMW score is either ...

A little late with this one as I've been away the past week and I'm only now catching up on all that happened. No write up from Australia for the same reason but the unexpectedly long gap between Japan and Miami should allow me to get back on top of things then

If it turns out to be genuinely common, it's a cause for some caution. But I don't think it's that unusually dangerous. A few years back (well, more like 10) Formula 2 had a similar problem with the clutch being so bad that 2-3 cars would usually stall every race, and that persisted for a year or t...

I hated the first 11 laps. The Leclerc/Russell battle with them repeatedly swapping positions should've been something memorable and to be spoken about for a while to come - instead it just felt like one of them using more battery, the other not defending, and then repeating that a few moments later...

What are the entries in italics?

Jenson's Understeer

Easy choices: George Russell - easy choice as he was ahead in all the meaningful running, plus Kimi had the shunt in FP3 which I believe he took the blame for Charles Leclerc - I think Lewis would be encouraged by his pace relative to Charles' but ultimately for the vote, it isn't hard to pick Lecle...

A new era (error?) of F1 has begun and, well, it's looking a lot like the start of the hybrid era as Mercedes comfortably recorded a 1-2 victory. The only real trepidation for them being caused by Ferrari doing their best impersonation of a mid-2000s Renault and getting ahead off the line. Could tha...

Just catching up on this thread so apologies if someone else has already said the same, but surely a "generational talent" in the truest sense of that phrase is a) the best talent of that particular generation, meaning you can only have one per 'generation', b) does allow for multiple generational t...

Well after testing it's clear the WDC will come from one of the big four teams, so that leaves us eight drivers at most, and we can quickly whittle that down. Anyone who thinks Hadjar would beat Verstappen to the title probably has the surname 'Hadjar' so we can rule Isack out. Likewise, for all the...

Also I'm happy to team up with Exediron here too if they're interested. If we team up in enough competitions we might actually win one :lol: Absolutely. Like Andretti Global, No Limit Excedrin Racing can continue to expand into, and be vaguely competitive in, as many racing disciplines as possible!...

Out of curiosity, how are teams being allocated? Are we deciding between ourselves or thrown in at random? I would've assumed Mr and Mrs. Tufty would have to be a team?!

I've gone with the three obvious ones and don't expect much of a contest there. Norris/Piastri would've been more of a consideration but it sounded like in pre-season, Piastri was struggling with the car a little more than Norris was so I've gone with Lando.

I will be participating in this but I'm going to go the complete opposite to every other entry and take the Aston Martin approach: watching from the sidelines at the start of the season.

I'm therefore selecting no drivers for the first scoring period!

Herta is a driver who came into IndyCar very young, and quickly became the youngest ever winner (age 18) and pole sitter (age 19), finishing third in the championship in just his second season.

Are the costs staying the same throughout the season, or do they reset in each quarter? It's $900 for the year, spend it however you wish in each quarter. But if you use $900 for the first quarter, you have no money left for the last 18 races. So basically this is the PF1 Cost Cap game, just with a...

Perhaps this has the makings of a ranked poll? Might be useful to see a few of them as the season progresses.

I meant to ask that in the first post, actually! If the mods can add a ranked poll then that would be cool. If not I can just tot up the posted responses at some point.
