Wow, just wow…the bit when Todd says his name idea of Racing Point.
I’ll not spoil it for anyone who hasn’t heard that great moment yet!
I’ve heard you butcher the draft/dirty air explanation multiple times, and I’m the guy screaming (silently) at my headphones. But this time, you nailed it. Well done sir.
LOL…well, for the strangest reason I have always struggled to put the explanation into words. Not sure why but clearly it is me and not the science behind it. :) Glad I got close this time. Thanks for being patient with me as I fumble around the topic. ;)
Latifi bought his reserve role for top dollar. The Latifi family has far more money than the Strolls and could buy any and all teams in F1 but they are a more subtle bunch.
I’ve just started listening and love the show!
In regard to the discussion on regulation changes and making the competition more level. What are your thoughts on bringing back the 107% qualifying rule, or reversing the starting grid like the second race in F2?
Most cars clear the 107% rule these days and I’m not a fan of reversed grids. :(
This is true regarding the 107 rule. I feel the reverse grid will still produce the winner in a convincing fashion, provided there is an equality of car performance. Great show again! Helps me manage my commute! I will be contributing to the cause!
Hi Matt. I certainly understand your point and you’re not alone in that thought. For me, I would rather F1 focus on the disparities, aero wash and other elements to improve the overall racing instead of ways to negate the issues that exist. A reverse grid would find leading cars having to scythe their way through the field but in the end, that, for me, would get old and would be a construct. I would hope we could fix some of the issues before radically changing the grid. Thanks so much for listening.
You guys really nailed with regards to the AI graphics. The whole point of onscreen graphics is to engage the users, and bring them closer to the sport. There are two ways that the current proposals could go and both of them will have a negative impact on the viewing experience The AI predictive algorithms will be completely wrong (quite likely based on my current experience with AI driven technology and the farce that was F1TV) and therefore will end up confusing new viewers and just annoying more experienced fans. It will become white noise at best and a nuisance… Read more »
In fairness, I have only seen what Ross showed but to quite about every Star Wars character in the first three movies, I’ve got a bad felling about this.
