u/-Akos- BWOAHHHHHHH 25d ago

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.

Even with this chaos, this race basically sucks

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 I love alonslow and I have untreatable levels of stupid 25d ago edited 25d ago

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

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.
