Not sure how many of you know of the existence of this. Looks to be a place to voice your opinion on F1 issues, including, i'd assume, the new regs. https://www.f1fanvoice.com Why is it that I have to register for an account, when I already have one on the official F1 website? I'd be rther surprise...

The best driver/car combo wins - didn't that happen under the new regs so far? Did anyone argue that the fastest combo didn't win? By the way: the easier overtaking is, the more likely does the best driver/car combo wins. ;) You must have been ecstatic the past decade then! Apples and oranges: true...

EPROM

I don't get it. Eprom and co make a big fuss out of "the best car/driver should win" must have priority, blablabla - so what is the problem with the new regs in this regard then? None? Then why emphasizing it? I don't get your second comment at all, I am afraid. Isn't a great defence part of wheel-...

EPROM

Yes, both are and I would love to see them removed (and DRS is gone anyway). The answer stares us right in the face and has been mentioned quite a few times in this very thread. Make the cars smaller, lighter, and remove a lof of the aerodynamics that is the cause of the dirty wake and we can have ...

EPROM

Then you must be a fan of time trials like in the WRC. ;) And why not - those (city-to-city time trials) were the origins of racing, with a clear focus on the cars. However, then the problem for you is not so much the new regs; it is the format of letting them all race together. This inevitably blu...

EPROM

This isn't what the drivers are saying they want. I agree. The drivers are not asking for cars that are simply as fast as possible. They want cars that behave in a way that feels dynamically intuitive. The problem with this formula is that it does not always give them that. Too often, both car and ...

EPROM

One without overtake buttons and 'smart' software. So cars that can't overtake is pure racing. Picture perfect example of how you get what everyone says from the wrong-end... A few (like poker) - I prefer more passing (particularly, but not only) for the lead. Most others (?) - I prefer to see the ...

EPROM

It is of course no coincidence that people who appreciate Max also likes a more raw/pure racing. That is not hard to see.. For your end, like I say, I never seen that kind of positive attitude before. I would at least expect some kind of complaining based on your old posts. But, it is all good. Gla...

EPROM

What's pure racing with cars that can't overtake, you keep referencing my old posts without any actual reference to them, that's not the first time you've done that. One without overtake buttons and 'smart' software. Cars don't need to overtake, they just need to be able to. The gargantuan and 'smo...

Am I nuts (don't respond to that... ;)) or - if the teams had their feces together, shouldn't the starts be a lot more consistent from driver to driver? They should have essentially 100% battery power available, and the torque from the electric motor is very powerful at stall and quite predictable ...

EPROM

It seems that most (if not all) of us here feel similarly - unnecessarily automating the job of the driver detracts from the sport - it's more of an issue of what "unnecessarily" means. A year or two ago, I felt that "why not allow dynamic aerodynamics", but when I see its actual implementation and ...

EPROM

There is definitely room for improving the interplay of throttle input and software reaction . Also, as I wrote, I think the overall complexity is too high. Nevertheless, we already saw some nice wheel-to-wheel battles in the first three races that were not distorted by software issues. What the he...

EPROM

Nothing. But this is literally one overtake in the whole race and it relates to a driver action (pressing the boost button), which may be a mistaken one but it is not that some mysterious and secret algorithm decided that Norris must overtake now. Overall, the wheel-to-wheel racing in Japan was goo...

The most important thing about the last cars, the GE cars, was keeping a stable platform hence why the suspensions were so stiff, being the last of the late brakers didn't help in that respect. The ground effect cars had to be stiff to keep the floor working, but that didn’t mean you couldn’t brake...

For me, one of the hardest skills in motorsport is consistently getting corner entry right. Braking right at the limit, picking your turn-in, and committing to the apex at the edge of grip — that, IMO the difficult bit. A decent club driver can do it, but what seperates out the top guys - consisten...

But still a worthwhile experience. that...

What annoys me most is that they did this crap with WRC and it almost killed it. They went hybrid to make it more road relevant (in a series that by default is road relevant) and they killed it. They pulled the plug after 3 seasons or something, manufacturers started leaving (partly because of high...

I quit Sky F1 a couple of years ago, and Sky completely last year when they wanted to increase my bill by something like 25%. I believe they are haemorrhaging customers. It's just a continual degradation of service. Even moving from the old Sky+ to Sky Q resulted in a much poorer TV Guide (and you ...

Cars being faster on the straight and slower in the corners is a result of design and setup choices, there is clearly nothing artificial about it. I have also been a vocal critic of DRS, not because it allows overtaking and compensates for the turbulent wake of the car ahead, but because the root c...

Do we judge DOTD relating to the actual performance, or surprises / experience based on the driver. I'm still not really understanding the quantity of votes for Antonelli.
