General F1 Discussion / Re: Sprint races just the start; F1 now wants push to pass button!

There's already a "push to pass" button, it's called DRS...

And the deployment of stored energy.

I think that fans need to be made more aware of the strategy of harvesting/using the energy in the hybrid systems.  Even the people calling the race don't always understand why a car will fall back one lap and then be ready to pass on the next.

I refuse to even read it they just do not understand F1.

If you don't like the idea of Sprint races you may take a sharp intake of breath with FIA/Liberty's newest big idea; it's straight from Champ cars playbook of more than a decade ago.  :D

One lap time trial sounds a lot like qualifying to me. Only four cars on track sounds like a lot of waiting for them to come by. And it seems they're hoping for a lot of 1st turn crashes to appeal to the people who like that sort of stuff. Doesn't appeal much to me going in.

F1 Teams / New season Ferrari F1 car SF21 to have two tone livery
« Last post by John S on February 26, 2021, 04:32:01 PM »
No not Philip Morris red and white.  :DD 

But double shade of red tone that the Maranello Scuderia is famed for.

So says Italian website formu1a.uno. The paras below are translated from their website today.

The livery.

After the questionable orange red of the SF90 and the red already more faithful to the tradition of the SF1000, the new SF21 will have a double shade of tone remaining still opaque and with a red that will become from the bottom to the top tending to a darker red similar to Gp Mugello 1000.

We will see what effect it will have. The Ferrari SF21, the last to go out in public, will, as always, be the most awaited.

General F1 Discussion / F1 records $386m loss in 2020 and teams pay out 30% less than 2019
« Last post by John S on February 26, 2021, 04:06:26 PM »
The revenues drop could have been far worse, so credit to Liberty/FIA for putting on a pretty successful season last year.  :good:

Now we understand why some teams are not putting a big effort into this season cars but instead are working towards 22 new Regs. It's all about the money - or lack thereof.

First all electric Touring Car series kicks off this June in Italy.
According to video It'll be the most exciting motor series since Formula E ........ Ahem!!! ;) 
-  Well it has 'Battle Gates'!  :D

Novel format will allow full beans on every lap, so might be more viewer friendly than FE.
