Thank you Ben, very cool

[u/caschrock]

[u/Logan_Yes]

This race is so fucking chaotic

[u/-Akos- → u/Logan_Yes]

Yeah, good. Would have been a snoozefest otherwise. Maybe a tip for next year here: throw something breakable on the track to give it some oomph. Yesterday’s sprint was boooooooring.

[u/CHobbes_ → u/-Akos-]

Even with this chaos, this race basically sucks

[u/GigaCringeMods → u/CHobbes_]

The track is simply bad for F1. Who would've guessed that a track that was not made for F1 would end up being underwhelming for the purpose it was not build for?

You can tell the track is shit even by just playing the F1 games. It's just same corners, over and over again, which are either flat or nearly flat. You will literally forget what part of the track you're on because it all looks the same. Seriously, without racing line assist on you will straight up not remember if the next corner is a flat one or a slight lift one, they are so similar.

[u/EmveePhotography → u/GigaCringeMods]

I actually have that with every track designed by TIlke, to be honest. They're all boring.

[u/LovieBeard → u/EmveePhotography]

They're hit and miss. Malaysia, Bahrain, Turkey, and COTA are all fun tracks

[u/HandsumNap → u/LovieBeard]

Tilke has produced many bangers. I don't think he's a bad designer at all, and I think the problem is with F1, not him. Do you think it would be possible for anybody to design a good track at Sochi? or Yas Marina? The bad idea was putting tracks there to begin with, and I don't think any amount of great design could have made them much less shit than they are.

I've also met him a few times, and he's a really nice guy. Willing to talk to random fans for an unreasonably long time about F1.

[u/EmveePhotography → u/HandsumNap]

No one said anything bad about the man himself. :) Good to see that he's shown to be a very amiable and engaged person to you! :)

[u/LovieBeard → u/HandsumNap]

Yas Marina is actually pretty good nowadays after the 2021 changes

[u/HandsumNap → u/LovieBeard]

It's an improvement, but I don't think Yas Marina produces especially exciting races for any reason other than being the last race of the year. My point is I think Tilke's track record is actually pretty good, and the stinkers he's put out weren't exactly locations that were begging for an exciting race track to be built on top of them.

[u/sherlock2223 → u/LovieBeard]

Still mid af

[u/Last-Performance-435 → u/HandsumNap]

Sochi is legitimately a fuckin banger to drive in the games though imo. Mostly because the simulation of it ignores all of the aspects that make it bad irl.

France was also a fun track in the games.

The worst tracks in the F1 games imo are all of the 'classic' tracks which all feel really strange and 'yumpy' in places.

It's a weird contrast that I like playing all the tracks I hate watching and vice versa.

[u/EmveePhotography → u/LovieBeard]

The main problem I have with Tilke circuits, and the main reason why I think it's 'boring', is that all of his designs are intrinsically the same. They have the same kind of corners, follow the same patterns and offer the same (lack of) challenges. Tilke basically has one standard circuit which he ports to various locations.

Don't get me wrong. I'm convinced that the man is a very capable circuit builder, otherwise he wouldn't be involved in so many of them, and he's really good at building tracks which follow modern safety standards. It's just that I'd like to see a tiny little bit of variation and creativity every now and then. You know, something like a new Eau Rouge (at Spa), cambered corners (like Zandvoort), possibilities of alternative racelines (like Max at Sao Paulo), a new Suzuka. Heck, even something with a new high speed challenge (like Monza), or something with significant height differences like a few circuits have (including the aforementioned Spa and Sao Paulo, or Spielberg). Or just something completely crazy and new which we've never seen before, but is completely possible with 2024 insights and technology.

Even refurbished circuits like Hockenheim lost quite a bit of their spark after he was done, in my opinion. I'm pretty sure there were more and different possibilities there.

[u/Spare_Duck3119 → u/EmveePhotography]

It's harder when you're forces to do street circuits

[u/CaptainPonahawai → u/EmveePhotography]

Hockenheim was absolutely destroyed.

[u/chubsruns → u/EmveePhotography]

Silverstone is another track that I never know which allegedly world famous corner we are approaching.

[u/Right-Ladd → u/chubsruns]

Yea I never knew either until I went to the GP in 2022 and we got the map and basically went seat shopping for the next time we plan on going to Silverstone. Also got to walk around the track which is the most surreal shit ever. Standing on Copse corner and just imaging Hamilton and Verstappen coming down that straight at 200mph right alongside each other with 18 cars right behind them, you can’t explain that shit, seeing it in real life is so fkn weird!!

[u/GigaCringeMods → u/chubsruns]

I think that's just a big you-problem. Every corner in Silverstone is unique and visually distinct from others.

[u/Armando22nl → u/GigaCringeMods]

To me the one before old start and new are quite alike

[u/marcus_aurelius_53 → u/EmveePhotography]

COTA is not boring.

[u/AgnesBand → u/GigaCringeMods]

Sounds like a skill issue

[u/GigaCringeMods → u/AgnesBand]

Maybe. But that only happens in Qatar. And no wonder, since other tracks don't have the same corners over and over.

[u/simpinsanity → u/GigaCringeMods]

All street circuits, especially Monaco, are not built for the purpose of F1 racing. Nevertheless we admire drivers who win those races. As long as drivers all share the same track and challenges those track present, ot doesn’t matter whether the tracks are good or bad.

[u/diqster → u/GigaCringeMods]

I love that everyone wails about Las Vegas before the race each year, then post race concludes that it's actually a pretty decent track.

Each year Qatar is a horrible race and everyone forgets the following year.

[u/Telsion → u/GigaCringeMods]

Turn 1 and the 12-13-14 sequence is fun. The rest simply isn't. But they're just not going to make a new track somewhere else in that desert, are they?

[u/HeatproofArmin → u/CHobbes_]

Yeah this chaos wasn’t the good chaos we wanted to see

[u/improbablydrunknlw → u/HeatproofArmin]

At least with all the restarts we got to see one to two minutes of racing.

[u/Alarming_Dingo_139 → u/improbablydrunknlw]

And we got 8 different teams scoring points today, including a Sauber

[u/notoriousdevil10 → u/CHobbes_]

The FIA ruined a lot of races this year by shortening the drs straight. Basically reduced overtaking in almost all tracks that depend on one spot for overtaking. Bahrain, Qatar, Spa are some that immediately pop up. Hope they put the drs ranges back to normal next year.

[u/Qyx7 → u/notoriousdevil10]

No.

Spa has had no good races since 2011 with that long DRS; no battles into the corner just go past in the straight and everyone gets ordered up based on race pace

Last year Lusail was too easy to overtake but this year they've clearly overdone it

[u/notoriousdevil10 → u/Qyx7]

They don't take into account the fact that teams have found ways to mount downforce on the bodywork of the cars increasing the dirty air generated, had they done these changes for the 2022 cars, it would've been okay but with current cars based on 2023 outcomes, it's fucking stupid, but then again it's the FIA, if they didn't do stupid shit, that would be the headline.

[u/GooneyBird36 → u/CHobbes_]

Yeah. We need more street circuits instead.

[u/Mega-Eclipse → u/-Akos-]

I have two words: Tusken Raiders

[u/VeseleVianoce → u/-Akos-]

Full on Mario Kart, every driver has to carry banana peels.

[u/Numpteez_ → u/Logan_Yes]

Qatarstrophic you could say

[u/clearlybritish → u/Numpteez_]

Outstanding

[u/RandomUsername_2546 → u/clearlybritish]

Penalty

[u/sa1lor_seller]

they are beating British bias allegations with this one

[u/Sleelan → u/sa1lor_seller]

Can't be biased towards British if your penalty system is decided by a random number generator I guess

[u/skeletonseverywhere → u/sa1lor_seller]

This races has swayed me to think that they are less British bias and more, incredibly incompetent. But I still think they love giving certain drivers penalties that they usually go unpenalized for others.

[u/Hopslam2213 → u/[deleted]]

Incompetence, not dank Conspiratorial corruption, dank

[u/Bolaf → u/skeletonseverywhere]

I first thought they penalised Norris to get a constructors showdown on the last race. But I have no idea what they did with Hamilton

[u/tomdyer422 → u/Bolaf]

Hamilton was 12.5 km/h over the speed limit so it’s pretty fair

[u/cape_throwaway → u/sa1lor_seller]

The anti British crowd is real quiet right now

[u/The_Hellcat707 → u/cape_throwaway]

I don't think anyone was anti British just anti British bias.

[u/MrLeopard483 → u/The_Hellcat707]

Isn’t everyone anti British?

[u/Vussar → u/MrLeopard483]

Especially the British

[u/Adorable_Camel_8673 → u/Vussar]

I hate all the nations equally

[u/se_spider → u/Adorable_Camel_8673]

A true racist 🙌

[u/DrinkerOfAssJuice → u/Adorable_Camel_8673]

I hate the French a bit more equally.

[u/RotorMonkey89 → u/Adorable_Camel_8673]

We racist as one 😎

[u/LuNiK7505 → u/MrLeopard483]

Yes us the French

[u/Any_Yogurtcloset5739 → u/MrLeopard483]

I am.

[u/DJ_Aftershock → u/The_Hellcat707]

The anti-British sentiment is what makes people think they're victims when constantly crying "British bias".

[u/cape_throwaway → u/The_Hellcat707]

That’s exactly what I meant

[u/Podalirius → u/cape_throwaway]

No, they're the usual loudmouths trolling everyone saying all this shit is deserved and the penalties were fair.

[u/IDontUnderstandReddi → u/cape_throwaway]

How many times you gonna comment this?

[u/BoyGodz → u/cape_throwaway]

As everyone should be? You do realise that there is an anti British bias crowd only because there had been enough evidence of British bias, right?

If they are quiet now, that only means the stewards did their job properly, as they should.

[u/Sir_YeeHaw → u/BoyGodz]

evidence lmao

[u/AstroSonicDrive → u/sa1lor_seller]

That British bias was displayed on the F1TV commentary when Max was calling out on Norris for not slowing down during the yellow flag

[u/windy906 → u/AstroSonicDrive]

They called out Norris for complaining about Hamilton literally 30 seconds after.

[u/isthisacartoon → u/windy906]

Yeah, I feel like they were calling out everyone and everything today?

[u/capnbard → u/windy906]

Stop it. You are ruining their fantasy narrative with your logic and facts.

[u/skeletonseverywhere → u/AstroSonicDrive]

Palmer always has hating whining on the radio, it doesn't matter who does it. F1 TV is miles better than Sky for British bias (as they should, because they have an international audience).

[u/ChrisProlls → u/skeletonseverywhere]

Disappointed we didn't get his "Get on with it" graphics.

[u/HUMBUG652 → u/AstroSonicDrive]

McKaren would never

[u/realbakingbish → u/[deleted]]

In a rare moment where I can’t believe I’m agreeing with Croft (ugh), I do think the way the safety car was handled for the wing mirror debris was bullshit. Race Control should’ve thrown a VSC or safety car well before Bottas smashed the mirror, and several drivers got pointlessly screwed over because of it. Total clown show from the FIA today.

[u/Flimsy_Somewhere1210 → u/[deleted]]

Nah thats not right. Croft and Button didn't shut up about the mirror for the entire time it was there.

[u/cockmongler → u/[deleted]]

Max was bitchy about it because he was worried he hadn't lifted in time before the green light.

[u/NopileosX2 → u/AstroSonicDrive]

They are quite anti penalty anyway. Maybe you are like this when you used to be a driver. Giving a lot of people quite a lot of slack, when they really driving dangerous.

They also called the 10 seconds for overtaking off track harsh this season when FIA very clearly communicated that this will be the new norm.

At least they generally acknowledge that a penalty is valid but almost always argue it is too harsh this season. Today it sounded like they would have given a 5 second penalty to Lando for not slowing down under yellow.

[u/-Akos- → u/AstroSonicDrive]

Yeah noticed that one too..

[u/businessbeans17 → u/sa1lor_seller]

British bias in the media still. Sky was huffing copium as hard as possible post race.

[u/VerstopteWC → u/sa1lor_seller]

Maybe that the reason? Get it all over with in one race so they can point to that one for the next couple of years

[u/ragnarok2004r]

If drivers are penalized for not following safety instruction, then the FIA should be penalized for whatever tf today was

[u/HellBlazer_NQ → u/ragnarok2004r]

FIA: Shit, Shit, what to we do about this wing mirror in the middle of the only DRS zone on the track!?

Bottas (4 laps later): Hold My Beer!

[u/429y → u/HellBlazer_NQ]

But what was Bottas actually thinking?

[u/FelixR1991 → u/429y]

He let the intrusive thoughts take the wheel

[u/diqster → u/FelixR1991]

Emotional Damage.

[u/hereticvert → u/429y]

"Bwooaaaah"

Wait, wrong Finn. My bad.

[u/Spare_Duck3119 → u/hereticvert]

Australion 

[u/tswany11 → u/429y]

He was blue flagged/letting cars lap him. The engineer probably didn't tell him that there was a mirror there. If he didn't let traffic by there, he would have gotten a penalty so there really isn't much else he could have done in that situation.

[u/yevo → u/429y]

Engineer didn't tell him probably?

[u/slvrsmth → u/429y]

I wanna see the stewards do punishment laps on foot.

Pretty much. I commented on different post the swearing on the radio is only an F1 problem.. Ive never heard Must be Seen penalize WEC drivers, ever. On the WEC side, not even sure he cares outside of popping in for his media day.

[u/Thevishownsyou → u/[deleted]]

I didnt knew rhis and thank you for this fun fact!

[u/Marie_dachs]

not puting a yellow flag to remove the mirror was weird

[u/xChiken → u/Marie_dachs]

To be fair they put out about 10 yellow flags, with a green flag in between each. All in the span of about 20 seconds, until they finally decided to just leave the mirror there. Insane.

[u/Health_throwaway__ → u/xChiken]

The new guy was dancing around and pressing the button until Ben took over and hoped it would go unnoticed if they did nothing

[u/hurtbowler → u/Marie_dachs]

I'm very confused wtf this whole thing was. What was the plan? To have them lift on the straight until the race was over??

One of Hamilton's Hungary wins, I think 2016, they had this CGI board celebrating his win and that was his pose

EDIT: it was 2018, on lap 23. See this comment

[u/Zealousideal_Honey80 → u/TheGoldenCaulk]

Nah, the graphic on the bottom right corner doesn't correspond to pre-2018 graphics. I think it is 2018, given that Hamilton is leading comfortably, with a Ferrari behind him.

[u/TheGoldenCaulk → u/Zealousideal_Honey80]

Yeah not 2016, I was thrown off because that pic is from 2016 based on his beard but they did not use it in graphics until later. I didn't see it post-race 2018 tho so idk.

[u/VergilVerner → u/TheGoldenCaulk]

It's Hungary 2018

[u/TheGoldenCaulk → u/VergilVerner]

Aha, good find!

[u/Netcooler → u/VergilVerner]

[u/Damfer]

They wanna create some drama for the constructors and fuel it towards the next DTS season

[u/Serendipersis]

Arguably the worst race this season. We had more drama than actual racing.

[u/AshleyFrankland → u/Serendipersis]

Not to mention Norris looked like he might actually give us a race for the win right at the end. Only for the stewards to decide it's time to wake up and stop that shit before anything actually worth watching happens.

[u/Limon4ikk → u/AshleyFrankland]

imo FIA just wants a fight in wcc rather than the actual racing. i may sound biased but like not setting the vsc for the mirror on the main straight and just setting there a yellow for 3(?) laps is weird

[u/lethanos → u/Limon4ikk]

FIA definitely wants a fight. Same with the driver's championship.

After all if there is no fighting there is no money for them.

[u/DRamos11 → u/lethanos]

As if people would stop watching/attending Abu Dhabi if the WCC was decided already…

[u/f8Negative → u/Limon4ikk]

Politics!? Again! This fucking maFIA.

[u/dohtje → u/AshleyFrankland]

Ngl thought he was gonna get a 10 sec, wich is normally the case with disregarding yellow flags. But a 10 sec stop and go.. Damn...

Lewis I can understand though.. Safety car through the pitlane and. Than speeding creating rather dangerous situation, though still very harse

[u/HellBlazer_NQ → u/dohtje]

That stop and go was basically (and they knew it at the time of awarding it) a 14 place grid penalty.

[u/Chewingman → u/dohtje]

The 10s stop/go i thought was harsh at first. But after some reading that is the correct penalty for disregarding double yellow. Everyone who has disregarded it has gotten that penalty. It has just been such a long time that people have forgotten how big it really is

[u/Spare_Duck3119 → u/Chewingman]

They should try mixing up penalties every once in a while. Right after sc, every9ne bunched up, and you slap that on p2.

[u/poughdrew → u/dohtje]

I was expecting 0sec to Norris, 5sec to Hamilton, but instead we get whatever this was. Just embarrassing from the stewards.

[u/dohtje → u/poughdrew]

Norris clearly not slowing under yellow he didn't even lift slightly, they can't not give him a pen for that couse that's a clear rule...

[u/Health_throwaway__ → u/dohtje]

A vanity lift is a stupid requirement. It should've been a VSC straight away

[u/dohtje → u/Health_throwaway__]

Yes, you're totally right, it should have been a VSC/SC, but it wasn't, thus Lando should have lifted like the other drivers

Though Lifting also shows you're aware something is going on on track

[u/VerstopteWC → u/Serendipersis]

Cant say I wasnt entertained

[u/PerspectiveNormal378 → u/Serendipersis]

It literally a parade, a shit show is a shit show and the directing needs massive improvement but I'd rather have a shit show with overtakes as opposed to a parade without.

Multiple British drivers received penalties. And Landos penalty was completely inconsistent with anything issued this season.

[u/Crypt_Ghoul001 → u/Rodger_as_Jack_Smith]

Not to mention Hamilton got a puncture because of the mirror on the main straight. On top of his penalty

[u/thenoiseofthunder → u/Crypt_Ghoul001]

Sainz too

[u/ExternalSquash1300 → u/thenoiseofthunder]

Hamilton seemed to lose many more places tho tbh.

The Norris penalty was the correct one. That is the penalty for disregarding double yellow and has always been

You know... I accidentally spoiled myself with this post when I opened reddit on my phone by habit during my morning and quickly closed it since I prefer to not spoil myself until I see the race when I'm free.

So as a "what the fuck" race I didn't know what to expect when watching it later and boy... I did not expect any of that.

[u/DannyBlue-22]

"British bias?? I'll show you British bias!"

fucks over half of the grid

I still can't believe they (rightfully) penalized Norris because what he did was unsafe, but the formationlap with marshals on track was a 5K fine...

[u/DJ_Aftershock → u/[deleted]]

... and also when the fucking FIA leaves a wing mirror on the track, I guess?

[u/Academic_Article1875 → u/DJ_Aftershock]

Yeah, that was unholy from them.  I'm so sorry for Sainz. 

You cant Tell that there wasnt a 10 second time window to get the mirror. Maybe with a long thing to get it quicker. Or bring out the virtual saftey car for 30 seconds.

That was the biggest FIA-Bullshit Bingo race we had in a while...

[u/DiN009_]

If FIA is a person, and is right in front of me now, I'll punch his face till it deforms with teeth sticking in it's eyes and pooled up in blood.
