That was a lot of fun to watch. Races are so much better when the top spot is disputed, however brief. Feels like so many races since becoming a fan under the reign of Verstappen has largely just focused on the back half of the lineup, as they shuffle around desperate for points. That's entertaining too, but so many of these races it feels like they watch Verstappen assert his position at the beginning and then there's barely anything of note happening to threaten him outside of when he pits.

a few F1 friends of mine rides Max’s dick (they do this with whoever is on top) and they refuse to acknowledge any of that. I love Tennis and I compare it to when you one whatever open Djokovic was in was already decided. It gets boring after a bit.

Yeah, I admit it's easy to do. I find myself rooting for Red Bull as a new fan, going with the winner is easy. I compare it to my wife being a Patriots fan because of when she started liking football.

I'm really not sure who I'm really rooting for. I am here for the entertaining races, as a Chiefs fan I want to see Alpine get points given Kelce and Mahomes investments in that team, but really like the Mercedes and McClaren teams. Because of the Netflix series so many of the racers come across as so much more human than the brand they represent, and leave a lot of reasons out there to root for any of them.

Fun sport, wish I was able to make more of a habit of catching the F2 / F3, etc races. Since those aren't covered live in the F1 app and I dropped YTTV that's a bit more difficult to do now as well.

im new as well so I get it. I latched onto the drama of Ferrari letting Sainz go and him wanting to stick it to the powers that be to show it was a mistake.

honestly it’s him or Lando at this point for me.

Race today was a lot cleaner than I expected it to be, pretty entertaining down the stretch.

Haas drivers Magnussen and Hulkenberg disqualified from Monaco qualifying after DRS infringement | Formula 1®

Haas drivers Kevin Magnussen and Nico Hulkenberg have been disqualified from the results of qualifying for the 2024 Monaco Grand Prix after the stewards discovered an irregularity with the opening of the drag reduction system (DRS) on the rear wings of their VF-24s.
www.formula1.com www.formula1.com

The stewards duly ruled that the rear wing element on both cars was non-compliant, writing: “The Technical Delegate discovered on examination that the uppermost rear wing element adjustable positions exceeded the maximum allowed under Article 3.10.10.h of the Technical Regulations of 85mm.

“The team explained that this was the consequence of an inadvertent error on their part in setting the wing flap gap. The wing used was a new design that was used for the first time in Monaco.

Monaco is always a parade, but this year seems to be hitting an enough is enough level. I don't have any idea where they are going to find more room unless you do dangerous stuff like taking out the chicane and letting them get over 200mph next to the harbor again. You're racing inside a city, it is what it is at this point.

I wasn't really expecting a race on Sunday, but the first Superbike race happened (used to be saturdays). Very fun watch, really close.

The files I grabbed were I think from TT+ and the quality is not great. It looks like they drop alot of frames on the helicopter shots, so much so that it was making me ill to watch it.

I might see if ITV is still covering the event. They should have 1080p with a good framerate, and since they don't do them live they mix in onboards too.
