With the current Formula the Hungaroring has produced as many good races as anywhere.Asphalt_World wrote:I hope I'm wrong, but I fear that without rain, this race is going to bring us back down to earth with a bump!

It does have a corner where forcing another driver off the track has potential. Don't say 'Suck my balls' to the driver afterward though.Asphalt_World wrote:I hope I'm wrong, but I fear that without rain, this race is going to bring us back down to earth with a bump!
Haas better not copy it then.minchy wrote:I don't know much about engineering or tensile strength etc, but that new suspension looks like it'll come apart from the little wheel bang or hard hit curb!
Experience tells us otherwise. The vast majority of race threads end up in an endless circle.wolfticket wrote:

In other words, the FIA has agreed to enforce a rule that already existed but that last week they suddenly forgot about.wolfticket wrote:In lieu of creating a new thread or being able to use the German GP on where much of the discussion took place*
It's seems sense (ymmv) has won out regarding giving out only fines for unsafe releases during the race:
I thought slow corners were Ferraris biggest problem area, while they were a bit better in higher speed corners. I remember them losing half a second in S3 at Barcelona for example.ReservoirDog wrote:I see Mercedes back on top. Ferrari should pip Red Bull too here. RBR is not good in slow corners where Merc shines and sort of also Ferrari.
They were faster than both the Merc and RB through the slow corners in Germany with their latest upgrades. But the Mercs were trialing their upgrades as well, so that muddied the waters a bit.Black_Flag_11 wrote:I thought slow corners were Ferraris biggest problem area, while they were a bit better in higher speed corners.

Really? According to the graphics posted on page 2 of the Germany practice thread Merc were 0.34s faster than Ferrari in the slow corners. That's only in practice of course.shoot999 wrote:They were faster than both the Merc and RB through the slow corners in Germany with their latest upgrades.

The Banana kerb will probably be less of a problem than the witches hats and the disruption to allow them to be replaced by track officials.UnlikeUday wrote:Banana kerb installed at turn 5 to enforce track limits.

I'm not laughing at his jokes. I would tell him that but he would almost certainly reply "Hi 'not laughing at his jokes', I'm Crofty"Jezza13 wrote:Sounds like Crofty's got his gag of the weekend sorted with Ferrari's "Boomerang wing".
"What, the one they threw away and it keeps on coming back?"
Already pulled that trigger twice.
Bad news for Ferrari if Leclerc is struggling with the car as he has their new updates and was 0.8s slower than Vettel!Siao7 wrote:On a separate note, issues for a few of drivers so far, Max keeps spinning, Lewis had something with his brakes, LeClerc says the car is not great, Bottas has a nightmare morning. Great session so far!!!!

Plus I don't see people complaining when a driver loses points due to car failure, when how is that any different? It's still the team's fault and not the driver's, just like the unsafe release is the team's fault.JN23 wrote:The driver is part of the team though, and therefore isn't it right that the driver should suffer for a pit crew mistake. Just as the pit crew have to suffer when a driver puts it in the wall.Jezza13 wrote:I can't see how a time penalty is justifiable & reasonable.
The driver is totally, 100% in the hands of the pit crew & it is the pit crew who has the obligation to release the car in a safe manner.
I'm against someone receiving a penalty, in racing or any other area of life, for an incident that was unavoidable on their behalf and the cause of actions by an external force. This is one example of that
It is the team that should be penalized, not the driver.
Am better...thanks!Fiki wrote:Get well soon, UnlikeUday.UnlikeUday wrote:Sorry for the late update guys. Just a little ill.
