TBK-Light.com :: 2022 Formula One Random Discussion Thread

Nobody here has explained to me precisely what is their objection to the following plan:

- Watch qualy on Friday. The winner now gets credited pole position for the records. He's the fastest driver that weekend.

- Don't watch Saturday. Go have a walk. Enjoy life. That's what I already do for sessions that I don't care about. I don't ask for these sessions banned for safety or cost or other dishonest reasons, I know others enjoy them live.

- Catch-up with results or highlights in the evening. That's what I already do for qualys on tracks that I don't care about (most of the calendar).

- Watch the race live on Sunday.

During this whole plan, you enjoyed F1, and other people enjoyed it differently by watching Saturday. Shocker, right? They should be deprived of a race for elitist philosophical reasons about " real" F1. And that F1 is making money shouldn't be relevant, you're already earning them money by being a sucker that gets TV packs and watches F1 in the first place.

And for those who watch every single session over the week-end. You really, really prefer an FP to a competitive race? Wanting Sprint banned is selfish. You're earning nothing as an elite connaisseur of F1, but you're depriving more casual viewers from a live race and more excitement through the weekend. It's a stupid hill to die on.

The teams seem to have agreed to 6 sprints next year. FIA still seeing impacts on personnel.

What the fuck? Were they even supposed to talk about sprint races this week, or was it just an ad-hoc idea by Brawn after Saturday? Spur the moment, right? If Imola sprint race had been a total fiasco, I don't think they would have agreed that, so Ross was only lucky. Arghh...my head explodes. Well, if Russia starts WW3, I guess there won't be any sprint races next year...or any races for that matter.

only if they make the win in the sprint like something worth 25 points while 2nd place earns 8 points

If people want to watch a sport that never changes or evolves, you've really really missed the mark with F1 , go watch football

F1 should be the absolute pinnacle of motorsport for me. The whole Sprint Race formula as it currently is, to me at least, is a secondary and junior category format. If they want to have a second race then fine have a second race. Make it a proper second race, with a proper race distance (3/4 of the main race) where you have to qualify for both of them, none of this gimmicky start where you finished the previous race. That is not the pinnacle of motorsport to me. If they adopted two full feature races and dropped some of the useless races then I would be on board with that. Not the bloody F2 format.

If they want more track time simply turn the races into 500 mile events with driver changes midway through

https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/fia-p ... /10242520/ It seems like the FIA has blocked the idea of more sprints for next year because they want to be paid more for the priviledge? Huh...... Buried in that article are two bits of news that are much much worse Apparently they want to replace the russian grand prix with......back to back races at Singapore, of all places? ONE race there is too many Secondly the engine rules for 2026 such as removing MGU-H means the power output of the eninges will drop significantly... WTF? Enjoy this era of F1 while it lasts, I guess, as F1 might be going down the NASCAR and IRL road of having too much downforce and not enough power and packaging that up to us a really good idea that generates good racing, when the opposite is true.

We're barely into the new rules, but F1 just released their objectives for the rule changes that will come into effect on 2026. https://the-race.com/formula-1/f1-revea ... e-changes/ Interesting to see that, among other objectives, reducing car dimensions and weight are included in this list.

if they're running 2 races at Singapore, one must be held on wet weather

Use the opportunity to have Brian Barnhart as race director for one weekend. Will shut up everyone complaining about F1s race directors for the foreseeable future.
