Ferrari requested to reinstate the lap but the Le Mans race director replied that it's called a motor race and that they went car racing. 01:38:50 to 01:41:00

A lot of people seem to be arguing both sides of why F1 is boring and if it is ok to have a dominant team or not. The RB fans here were bored and pissed off during MB/HAM’s dominant years (they were right and I actually agreed with them), but are just fine with RB/VER’s current super domination now (now hypocrites and I don’t agree with them). I was and am bored with both.
The problem now is the cost cap and other teams can’t catch up anymore like they could in the past. Or at least had the opportunity to like RB/VER (with help from Masi) ultimately did in 2021. Oddly, even with the cost cap it is still the same teams at the top with RB, MB, Ferrari and McLaren. The cost cap is a form of spec racing, plus with a rule book that teams need an army of lawyers to decipher, it cuts way down on innovation and we are where we are. They need to go back to run what you brung with no cost cap and loosen some rules. And let some fresh blood in like Andretti/Cadillac. But the teams are short sighted as they are currently making a ton of money. Hopefully somebody with power in F1 pulls their head out of their behind and sees that this will soon lead to lower ratings etc. I have a friend that is a huge VER fan and he says he is on his phone now for most of the race. F1 is on the road to being NASCAR on and off the track if they don’t change/pay attention to what is going on. Yes, the Bearman story is/was cool to F1 nerds like us, but not to the average F1 fan the sport needs to keep. It still isn’t enough for most F1 fans that are nerds like us.

He was destroyed by Lando, literally.
Same word used by some LH fans when him and ALO were at MCL, even though they ended up with the same number of points and ALO's continuing superb form.

He was on record a couple of years ago that he doesn't like the width/size of the cars today. They're too big for his liking.

That "16" sticker is likely for future resale purposes: a future buyer will pay top dollar to own "a personalized car that Ferrari exclusively made for Ferrari F1 driver Charles Leclerc". The "16" badge is like a signature that will please the future owner.
But personalization can be more discreet too. Schumacher - Ferrari: https://simonfurlonger.co.uk/cars/show.php?id=1315 https://www.dicklovett.co.uk/ferrari...4-ferrari-enzo

OK all you want a be team managers, here's your opportunity.
New F1 Manager game lets you create your own team The third edition of Frontier Developments’ F1 Manager video game will be released this summer, and will give players the opportunity to create a team of their own for the very first time. As well as the option to run one of the existing 10 real world Formula 1 teams, F1 Manager 2024 will introduce ‘Create A Team’ mode, where players will have full creative control over the team, as well as the ability to negotiate sponsorship agreements and identify young talent. It’s a notable shift from last year. The game will also introduce a new mentality system, which places emphasis on driver and staff personalities and demands and players look to strike the perfect balance as they strive for success with their team. Other teams can also poach staff or drivers, making this a crucial new addition to the experience. Bring your own inappropriate and controlling behaviour. |
