One of the biggest issues with the sprints is that many of the potential good formats are automatically off the table. We won't get something fun like reverse grids anytime soon.

At the moment it's all fairly new and constantly changing but at the end of the day it's nothing unique. It's just a shorter race.

Teams will stop their major upgrades for this season soon though. It gets to a point where its just fine tuning and minor upgraded parts that change where you are relative to other teams. If they really are in the mix then they shouldn't fall away as the Aston seems to have.

Don't care about the name. Just want the 2004 yellow and blue back.

You can hide the numbers in the liftoff app (presumably other apps too). Hiding it for all users by default is obviously completely different though.

I'm my defence there were a lot of people questioning what was happening and no answers.

If you had login issues that's fine. Shit happens.

Perhaps the more likely strategy that will be targeted is a one-stop, because the expected difference in terms of race time is only a few seconds in total, so teams tend to lean towards fewer stops and prioritising track position.

If there's post race penalties, crashes, important overtakes etc. its inevitable that spoilers will be posted with news/videos.

When I can't watch a race live and plan on watching it later I avoid places that discuss formula 1.

Edit: Not to forget, we don't have a mod to enforce any rules at the minute.

They've just messaged me. It's not them.

Presumably the mod has had enough messages and mentions over the past few days that they now know people want more active mods.

Would you consider adding a mod or two so someone else can pin threads when you're not here?

I feel like it would help the community grow a lot if there were multiple mods.

Thanks

There's no reason to keep him after the summer break. It just feels inevitable now.

de Vries a mile behind in 19th. If Magnussen was able to take a lap at the end there he would have been 0.4 behind every other driver.

What's the biggest points distance a driver has ever won the championship by?

I think its going to be broken in 2023.

Is it worthwhile to try to get mods to combine them? It just seems like a bit of a waste when trying to grow a community and its split in two.

Or is this what the fediverse is supposed to look like?

I read before somebody said that we might be able to combine similar communities at some point but don't know if that's true.
