Exactly where is this incredible turnaround in the performance of the HAAS this year?

Just what I think... In fact they'd rather investigate Mazepin/Magnussen swapping, if they really want to find something that explains the current Haas "better" result.

Well I'm trying to keep all data, so i have a Qualified position, a Grid Position and a Starting Position . So a Driver could Qualify 1st, have a 5 place penalty applied, but star from Pit Lane so would be Qualified = 1, Grid = 6, Started PL For now, as long as these "sprint qualifications" are ver...

Does this mean that the most "porpoising" car is the one that won the race and leads both championships or did I misread it ?

This thread reminds me of Asimof, "those people who think they know everything are annoying to those of us actually who do."
I qualify for the old part but not quite so much for the grumpy part yet.

But, your quote alone qualifies you for the grumpy part...

The primary school pupil's definition of the body is the bit your arms, legs and head are attached to. The adult definition is everything that makes up a human. I'd like to think that even F1 are going for the adult definition. So if you get an ear piercing would you say you had a body piercing? If...

Harpo

Is the face part of the body? This is starting to sound like "any vs all" round 2 :D I would say in a sporting context (and general sense of the word body piercing, I wouldn't say I got a body piercing if I got my ear pierced) there is a clear difference between head and body. I only bring it up be...

I for one would not be surprised if some of the mythical aura around Max’s speed was to dissipate this season. Drastic weight increase + simplified front wings = understeery cars by nature Those “on the nose, pointy” Red Bull cars with loose rear ends (from 2019-2021) allowed Max to fully display h...

May be it has something to do with the "electrocution risks" and is no more allowed since they use "power units" instead of engines, just like they do in case of more damaging incidents.
I don't remenber a car being pushed since the beginning of the PU era (but may be someone does).

Hahaha I respect your diligence The 25 sessions, Perez’s three 2022 qualifying efforts rank as- 1st- Saudi Arabia 2022 3rd - Australia 2022 8th - Bahrain 2022 3/3 for within 0.250 in 2022 Last year he was 5/22 for within 0.250 I for one would not be surprised if some of the mythical aura around Max...

An Alpine driver on the podium tomorrow ? Well, a midfield team was on the third step yesterday! :-P Yes, but not the one I thought of... I tend to think that Alpine, at least now, if not for Alonso's misfortunes would be considered less in the midfield than Mercedes (top of the midfield ? bottom o...

As it goes, may be Planet F1 Forum should change its name. What about Planet F1 Grumpy Forum (rather than Grumpy Planet F1 Forum. Even if there are a bunch of reasons for our planet to be grumpy, it's a too large field to embrace) ?

Harpo

I registered on the forum in 2005 as an already grumpy F1 follower, and if there's something that has grown since this date it's my grumpiness about F1. Note that for decades I didn't even know what grumpiness was... And me growing grumpy has nothing to do with me growing older, but with F1 growing ...

1.The Overrated Mercedes Chassis I truly believe that the vast majority of Mercedes' advantage relative to Red Bull and Ferrari from 2014-2017 and 2019-2021 came from the engine, not the chassis. The only exceptions are 2018 and 2019. In 2018, Hamilton simply outclassed Vettel. In 2019, Ferrari had...

Elkhart Lake/Road America first and foremost, whatever the other 2 are... The most beautiful race track in the USA.
Then Watkins Glen on the east side, Laguna Seca on the west side.

If they need a street track surrounded by card tables, roulettes and one-armed bandits, let them try Atlantic City !

Harpo

The point is that they don't (didn't, will not) care about the circuits design, all what matters is the location. And a street race certainly is cheaper, easier and faster to implement than building a true circuit. At least COTA was designed as a racing track. And it's not like if the USA didn't hav...

Harpo

Well I'll reserve judgement because ultimately it's the quality of the racing that counts for me. I don't care about the party atmosphere or "iconic backdrops". But THREE US races.. really? Still no US driver and Haas don't really carry much of a US identity. I can't see all 3 races staying on the ...

I think the Ferrari duo is the best line-up on the grid, but I'm not surprised so many forumers seem to under-rate Sainz. No hyping court, no self-glorification and you're out of the "top tier"...
I agree with Dolomite. The difference between Leclerc and Sainz is minimal.

Harpo

Up to now, his bullying ways have met little punishment, a fair share of cynic approvals and stupid compliments, and gave him a WDC to boot. Why would he change ? His entourage won't help him and anyway, I don't think he is "equiped" to be able to rethink himself. And I'll trust the FIA for enforcin...

It's Masi who has been named responsible of the PF1 swear filter on race day, and he did follow his own path through the rule book.

Perhaps a better thread title would be "the craziest 2022 predictions thread".

It turned into crazy predictions, but as it was not named "bold predictions thread" I made shy ones (for once).

It's almost over, and I won't wait till the 2023 countdown to post another 330 P4.

So, Hamilton will not win his 8th title. I also don't think Hamilton-Larbalestier will get 8 titles ;) Effectively, it seems we will have to wait a very long time for someone with the same name to get 8 titles.
