I'm starting to think kimi might be the real deal.
If he doesn't cave like ps3 that is.

It was an overall ok weekend, not worth a month of wait though.

>>30119Funnily enough this penalty didn't cost him any positions because of Chuck's penalty.

>>30130I hope this won't be start of a downwards spiral like we've seen so many times before with amx's teammates.
The car getting updates that make it faster for max but undrivable for the other guy is how it usually goes.

>>30135the rule tweaks made the racing less silly but it's clearly not enough.
Miami is supposed to be one of the best tracks for recharging the battery under braking too.

Reminder that the 24h of Nurburgring are next week.
In the meantime, here's Max driving a SuperGT car in a wet Fuji track.

>>30139>60/40Meh, it'll probably help just enough to stop most people from complaining but they really should have gone back to 70/30

>>30141We're 4 races into a new reg and we've already had changes implemented and PU redesigns announced for the next season.
I wonder if that has ever happened before.

>>30143>lift the fuel flow rate for qualifying but then cut it back to current levels for the raceHilarious.
They could solve all of this in a very easy way: By bringing back refueling.
No.30145
>>30139>>30143They are so lost. Don't they realize that constant random changes, especially years of a format most people were ok with, is just gonna alienate people?
Meanwhile, ironically, Formula E clearly has it's goals and direction.

Forgot to mention the 6h of Spa while the race was on, damn. It was kino.

>>30150Man i should really go to Spa sometime, not even a 2 hour drive from here.
WEC might be a good time to do it.
No.30152
>>30151It's the best race of the weekend so far. It's definitely worth watching when a replay becomes available or when WEC uploads it to youtube.

Interesting read.
https://motorsport.uol.com.br/f1/news/f1-chefe-da-audi-revela-bastidores-da-contratacao-de-bortoleto-e-entrevista-inusitada/10819555/TL:DR, Bort was hired less because of his F3 and F2 results and more because Binotto was extremely impressed by his calm and mature behavior.
also he goes to say that Audi plans to become a powerhouse in F1 by 2028
No.30155
>>30153Seems like a sensible approach and Bort really does seem like a stable mature guy.
He'll probably be very loyal to the team like max with rbr.
