The rumour mill is spinning like crazy that Red Bull will announce RIC's gone then 10 minutes later that Lawson is in.

And there is the not-always-reliable Joe Savard soying PER will announce he is leaving after Mexico. [link] (https://joesaward.wordpress.com/2024/09/26/green-notebook-from-somerset/)

No one can trust Red Bull, obviously, but yes, that is the rumour.

But this is one of those situations where I hope both sides lose (the team's other personnel is the sad collateral damage, which sucks). So if RBR can be in the low midfield next season and then both Horner and Marko get the sack, that would be splendid.

The exodus continues. Behind the smiles and jokes in the press conferences, the atmosphere must be horrendously bad for top, middle, and bottom people be heading for the exits as if the ship is sinking.

Low-key hoping next year is humbling for Horner and Marko. A pity for everyone else that works there, but those two really needs a swift kick in the arse.

 

Updated the qualy battles plot, but did not want to burden the servers with it, so if you want to see a gif from the start to Singapore, here it is: https://i.imgur.com/KrbkqQF.gif.

And now we wait for the avalanche of stupid/crazy/ridiculous rumours about RIC until the next race.

Excellent haul!

The king of malicious compliance. And one of the best Brooklyn 99 guest stars.

I love it. Malicious compliance is the best form of protest. To hell with MbS (both of them, actually).

Even put VER as driver_1 because it feels wrong putting him as driver_3. So both versions are there. Thank you for the feedback again, they are MUCH more useful this way.

Thank you for the feedback. Was a bit pressed for time and could not change the code to change the colours, but will do. Not usual to have Williams and TR along with Red Bull....

 

Featuring Albon, Tsunoda, and Verstappen. Yet, here we are.

Telemetry Comparisons and Track Dominance plots

And, if you want to help me out, here are many Track Dominance graphics with different mini-sectors (numbers are under the images in the link): varied track dominance graphics What do you think is the most useful to understand where each car goes better?

Hard to do any worse... Even Latifi beat Albon once.

[–] f1ip@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

I think one of the issues he was adamant about was no 1 year deal. So I would guess he is at least 2 years.

But Audi has a vacant seat...

 

Verstappen and Albon finally lost one this season!!!

Yes, Albon was pretty severely compromised in the last Q3 attempt by extra weight on his car, but still here we are. Williams and Red Bull no longer have zeros on the board (sorry, Logan, you remain at zero).

[–] f1ip@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

PER finally beats VER in qualy!!!

Plus, Williams helped ALB get beaten for the first time as well.

I love when this kind of thing happens. SAI sets the FL with no purple sectors, VER does the 2nd best with 2 purple sectors.

 

With a 30 points lead over Hamilton for points scored at Baku, Pérez will retain his lead, no matter what happens.

But with the current competitive state of the Red Bulls in tracks with slow corners, the lead could suffer a dent if Hamilton has a good weekend.

If Norris has a good weekend, he could jump a few spots, and Piastri could finally enter into the conversation, as he failed to score a point in 2023.

 

Anyone else surprised at the short gardening leave? Him starting in March changes things. I thought he would be out at least until September of 2025,which would hurt his participation in the 2026 design. If, however, he does start in March, he can absolutely be a major part of the redesign and that changes the calculations for who might be a force in 2026.

 

There are many ways to read the series, obviously, so I am curious as to what are people's preferred method.

I read them chronologically by publishing date the first time, then once by theme (Watch, Witches, and Moist novels first) and then been reading books here and there kinda randomly (although when I read one Watch novel, I tend to read all of them to the end, plus Raising Steam).

What do others do?

 

I have been toying around with F1 data and python plots, and got some average gap graphics in gif form, starting at Bahrain and up to Italy.

They are gifs, so check your wi-fi upon entering because there are many on each page, obviously.

Would have posted a few examples here, but apparently Lemmy is not keen on it. Hope imgur's servers do not crap out on me.

Examples:

 

Main points of the article:

Pirelli ran two tests of the 2025 tyres, one in Monza with Red Bull's junior team, one in Fiorano with Ferrari. It was wet in Monza and Lawson had some PU trouble in the VCARB01, while Fiorano was artificially wet for Bearman in the Ferrari.

Next up, Aston Martin will be the first to test the 2026 tyres at Barcelona after the Baku GP and then Mercedes at Magny-Cours with the 2025 tyres (1-2 October).


The irony of Fiorano being artificially wet and it was just raining in Monza is pretty great, yes.

Also, great practice for Bearman if he will indeed be in Baku in place of Magnussen.
