They're wired to want to win so they're going to do whatever and say whatever it takes in the context of the sport. It's great that they can hang that persona up when they leave the race track though and just be relaxed about it. What makes F1 great is the personalities that we get to see and them interacting. I've watched a lot of endurance racing (WEC) and it's something you rarely get, mostly because of the number of drivers involved and how few races there are per year.
Should've made it a 4 stop requirement if adding one is going to make it that much better.
Oh hey they switched the timings font to be consistent with the countdown today. 👍🏻
For a second there, I thought I missed a Mercedes announcement of a new driver. 😄
Is he going by Andrea, Kimi or Andrea-Kimi? F1's site isn't prepared for this yet in some cases.
Looks better to me. Less transparency is better.
I really hated that ghost outline around the edge. Made it seem like artifacting from an analog conversion or something.
I'm not in love with the number font though. Also why are the number fonts different between the countdown and the timings?
They did this on Top Gear (or Grand Tour maybe, can't remember). Personally, cooking doneness aside, I wouldn't want some exhaust leakage from the engine or burning oil that's seeping from a gasket to taint the flavor of the food even if there were a guarantee of no carcinogens from it.
Max should continue disrespecting as long as George continues to whine about Max not just moving over for him.
Sad trombone. I feel bad for the guy because I think he tried as hard as he could but it was a case of too much money, not enough talent.
It was a good event, even if we had to poke fun at Mike Crack for no reason. We are for sure at peak stage design these days. They had a variety of ways of introducing each car/team that kept it interesting and not feel super repetitive. I would've liked a few more sentences from each driver, but whatever I guess there's not much to say except let's get racing.
Looking good, an improvement on last year. Still not a lot of paint though. (But I'm a fan of exposed carbon so, win)
Considering that X still has advertisers (and more returning), I don't think a little swearing in excitement or frustration is going to have any impact on sponsors or advertising.
The best livery this year IMO. I wanted to see more of the Suzuka special livery from RB and here we are.
Still one of the best liveries there will ever be.
I am happy to see Gulf with Williams, opens the door for another great one like the one-off McLaren had.
It’s gone too far in many areas and this one is the dumbest.
Seems like this graph is mostly saying people are getting more opinionated.
And the fastest lap goes back to literally and figuratively being pointless. lol
If Aston can replace Lance, they might actually have a shot at the title before the end of the decade.
He's a fine brand ambassador, just keep him out of the racing seat.
