Re: 2022 Singapore Grand Prix Race Thread

As wet races go, this is up there with the very worst ever. That said, we're only just past half distance. Fingers crossed for some action.

So come on then. Why SC for the Alfa and VSC for the Alpine? F1 just make things up as they go along.

Re: 2022 Singapore Grand Prix Race Thread

Is anyone underwhelmed by Max so far or is he simply not taking any risks due to having such a lead in the WDC? Perhaps hoping for a decent strategy and more speed that others on slicks.

What staggers me more than the SC being called, is the fact that it takes so long to remove an F1 car that's not very damaged and is right next to an escape road.

Just use the VSC, throw a trolley jack under the back of the Alfa, spin the back round and push it away.

Even better, do it under a Slow Zone.

Re: Overly cluttered F1 fraphics, unwanted sound and other stuff

A lot of the new graphics are poor, but the one thing I don't mind is the distance/time to the car in front. Assuming it's accurate, seeing them gain in the tow is interesting with the gap shown in real time.
