Very nice shots!

Damn, you were faster than me.

Ich würde gerne sämtliche(n Besitz der) Unionspolitiker*innen zur Energieerzeugung nutzen. So viel Technologieoffenheit ist doch erwartbar, oder?

I just couldn't get into it even though I like several Fallout games.

I can manage check in 2.

Just watched it. Well done by Kimi!

I'm really surprised that Max didn't get a penalty for impeding. He stayed on the racing line and at least two drivers had to go around him on their hot laps.

One is smaller to account for perspective. I love everything about this!

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.

Fair enough. I think in the end it all comes down to preference. Some prefer nostalgia and would be happy with the return of an iconic engine. Others are more excited with F1 being about innovation and real world application.

To me, the beauty of F1 is that it's not like other sports in some aspects. It's constantly changing and teams must find ways to stay competitive. That's why I prefer innovation over nostalgia.

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.
