Quote HistoryQuoted: Or for FIA to acknowledge that the cost cap is stupid … and get rid of it I honestly don't see that happening again. I think they feel the mid pack battles have tighten up...hell even the front of the pack is really just 1 team and everyone else is fairly close at this point. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Throw out Hungary and it gets pretty close again, last year was an anomaly for the Hungaroring, the track is a turd. I’ll have to get his book for sure. Interesting man who’s lived a hell of a life. Listing to him get choked up talking about all the funerals he had to attend for his friends over his career makes it easy to understand why he hung it up when he did. He talked about it in the Fangio document on Netflix as well. It is pretty sobering. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The Hungaroring paddock was alight with rumors that several teams have majorly busted the cost cap, due in no small part to Red Bull getting what was basically a parking ticket for doing so. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Anyone noticing Merc is on the Attack through the rags against Redbull even more than usual after this past weekends race? The Hungaroring paddock was alight with rumors that several teams have majorly busted the cost cap, due in no small part to Red Bull getting what was basically a parking ticket for doing so. Is this a "If every driver in a race gets a 5 second penalty, then the outcome of the race is the same" or "they can't send us all to jail!" situation |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Interesting analysis (in italian) showing the real potential of the RB-19 Look at the rpm when max did his 1.20.5 in hard tires when everybody else was at best at 1.22.3-6 . He must have been real bored to purposely show this.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzFGyIuVMHYIn the comments someone thinks one of their secret is using non Newtonian fluids in the suspensions/shock absorber that can be interacted with, to change their properly, allowing some new form of active suspension. In fact, if you look at the RB-19 she has very little pitch or roll movements on track, and can be extremely low where it needs, while being 100% legal while coming back at the pits. And apparently, there is absolutely no rules about the fluid used in the suspensions/shock absorbers. The Rb-19 is compared to the Williams FW15C in the way it operates. Another gem from newey Dude, the non Newtonian fluid was a joke by Scarbs @scarbstech. I hope you’re joking, or else you’re extremely gullible.

So I scored tickets to go with some family and friends to the 2024 Canadian GP. Has anyone gone before? I have race tickets only and will be sitting turn 10 / 11 area. What is a good hotel or area to stay? Is it a pain in the ass to get in (timewise) or is it fairly quick. Tickets are all I have secured so far. Any insight is greatly appreciated!

Max wins. Checo fucks up at some point. McLaren does well. Ferrari fucks up at some point. Lewis Hamilton whines about something. Ricciardo does better than Yuki. Call me crazy, but it's a gut feeling. |

Even Alpine and Ferrari, who have WEC programs which would seem a logical place to develop their racecar tech, would be of very limited benefit to F1. The entire chassis/aero is apples and oranges. The suspension designs are very different, as is the braking system. The PU's are different. Hell, each of those cars (F1 and WEC) are designed for completely different parameters of competition. About the only thing I can think of that might benefit from some crossover is some of the electrical systems. Maybe some of the regenerative charging and whatnot. I'm not of the opinion that F1 teams are really hiding R&D in these other programs, not to any meaningful degree. At most, it gives them a place to train up engineers and other staff if they need to pull from their own employee pool to fill spots in the F1 department. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Awesome, thanks for the info! How far ahead did you need to book the hotel room? You going again in 2024? Cheers to @tifosi for the call out, and thanks @Auxcoastie for the info! My hotel was part of my F1 Experiences package so no idea, being the planner that I am I would book the hotel today and lock in whatever rate that you can get. Our room was a solid business hotel room and was fine. Never had a hotel complain about getting my money to early. My son and I will not be going again, 2 years in a row is good and now that he is older father/son vacations are going to switch to hunting adventures. We can do some cool stuff for what F1 costs. Lots of other motorsports to get him to like NEFR, Lime Rock etc. Tips from this year off the top of my head, take your own water and snacks. Food was expensive at the track, and some places did not take AMEX so take a second card. Get out of your seat and explore but enjoy the other race series. ABOVE ALL, BUY AND BRING GOOD WATERPROOF WALKING SHOES AND A GOOD RAIN JACKET!!!!!! My ass had gotten rained on 2 years in a row and the first year my son has a nice and expensive Ferrari sweatshirt from 2022. Also buy a butt cushion or stadium seat because the bleachers get cold and hard. |

I wouldn’t be suprised if RB broke it again due to organizational inertia. Remember the 2021 penalties came late in 2022. So if they were on a similar financial plan in 2022, would they have been able to make enough changes rapidly to avoid going over again if they believed they were fine from 2021 and then getting a shock. |

The “loophole” they recently tried to close is “research” when developing limited production customer cars. For instance, a vehicle can be designed for track use only offering a Formula 1 experience (ground effects). None of the ground effects research on the project would be under the cap and it wouldn’t be fixed to any racing body regulations (WEC). You could go down any research path in the name of improving “customer experience”. |

To be fair, both the Valkyrie and One were developed well before the budget cap went into place. The Valkyrie was also really a Newey project pre Stroll when AM were a Red Bull sponsor. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: It is just a tiny bit fishy that both Aston Martin and Mercedes recently designed track-only hypercars that are "very similar to the performance of an F1 car". Nothing to see here, move along. Good for them though. If you ain’t cheatin, you ain’t tryin |

Alpine (or Renault) is the competitor in question |
