      Rumour is the car doesn’t suit high speed corners, so they are probably going to do better at Hungary and Singapore but worse at Spa/Suzuka/Monza, if that is true then it’s kind of ironic that a car that has performed extremely well this season is so bad at what are considered to be classic race tracks, time will tell I guess.

      My prediction (admittedly wild) is that AM will be the next team to turn up with Red Bull copy parts, and gain a second+. They have had time to gather more data, manufacture upgrades for at least Fernando’s car, and get them to the next race weekend after this upcoming weekend off.

      I think they said those tracks don’t particularly suit them but we’ll see what happens in Hungary

      Damn Lemmy forcing you to read articles instead of just going with the top comment to do it for you.

        From my experience, they don’t read articles either. People can have huge threads with hundreds of replies asking questions that already have been answered in the linked article. Though this is more common in politics and science. F1 media usually take one or two quotes and add 10 meaningless paragraphs that are not worth reading - this is where top comments come to help!

          It’s a very common thing at work as well. Some people just want bullet point for everything.

    I doubt there’s anything anyone can do, but posts are failing to replicate to lemmy.world. https://lemmy.world/c/formula1@lemmy.ml is missing both the FP1 and qualifying highlights post, which lead me to repost FP1 highlights… then try to delete it… and the deletion didn’t appear to stick on lemmy.ml.

    Lemmy.world had had some intermittent availability lately, maybe this is as simple as it being down when the posts were made. Worth keeping tabs on though.

      Early days of a federated platform pains I guess. Thanks for letting me know. Explains a couple of weird duplicate posts I’ve removed.
