Yes, I know. But F1 has never been purely about building the fastest car possible. It’s always been a balance of speed, rules, strategy, and spectacle.

I guess I wasn’t precise enough. I know the electric motor has been around. There are huge gains to find in energy storage and the real world applications are enormous. I’m not saying that they should switch to all electric tomorrow but maybe in the next ten years. Maybe swapping batteries during the race could be an option? I know it’s not trivial but we’re talking about F1. I’m sure they can figure it out. Comparing F1 and FE is not very interesting imho, team budgets are way smaller, around 10%.

ICE development is actually very much dependent on the number of cylinders. Adding a pair creates new unbalances that have to be accounted for. That’s why there are so many different engine configurations.

I’m not saying there’s no room for improvement in ICE development but it’s the “law of diminishing returns”. It’s a tech that has been around for over a century. As with all tech, the earlier improvements have a bigger impact than later ones, in general.

Electric motors are the future and I’d prefer if Formula 1 headed in a direction where they can innovate in this area rather than sticking to an engine that is on its way out.

Haven’t read the article because I really don’t care about this idea but how can you call it a revolution? V10 ICE are not new and there’s very little to optimize at this point. It’s a relic of the past and there’s no application for this tech outside of motor racing.

I mean at some point the number doesn’t matter anymore as most trade will just stop.

It does look kind of fun. But those painted on headlights are atrocious. Why? They don’t fool me, no sir.

Uff, watching this race really didn’t feel like time well spent.

It was really underwhelming how uninspired the McLaren strategy was as Palmer on F1TV rightfully pointed out. They really didn’t make it difficult at all for Red Bull to cover off both drivers. And Piastri not getting the chance to attack Max was sad to see. He was faster than Norris at that stage. You can always swap them back if it doesn’t work out.

I just love Piastri in the cooldown room. He’s a funny guy.

Because of short term profits.

Interesting, I had a very similar experience. I loved exploring the world, gaining new powers to unlock even more areas and growing stronger along the way. The world felt alive and authentic. Traversal was fun and combat was fair. I also liked how the characters you randomly meet have their own journeys, making the world feel dynamic.

But as the ending approached, it lost some momentum. With such a vast world and so much to discover, getting from A to B to C took time. I never actually finished the game but somehow that felt fine. It was more about the journey than the destination, which is rare for me.

If the initial reviews are good, the sequel might be the first game I buy at full price in a long time.

I actually laughed. Such a sweet summer child…

I’m actually excited about this and hope he can meet his own expectations.

I’m always amazed at how they’re able to report on depressing stories while still managing to sprinkle in some fun. It’s a delicate balancing act they nail on a weekly basis.

However, how dire the situation in the United States actually is always leaves me in disbelief. From a European perspective, things always seem to be on the extreme side over there.

Preview saved me but nice attempt.

For them it is a positive. They make money.

I’d like NASA to speak up but it’s of course in their best financial interest to remain nonpartisan. Why should they alienate the Republicans and risk funding to expose an obvious lie? What good would it do? Many Americans don’t care about the truth or are unable to grasp it, even when presented with facts.

Let them cook.
