Disney sponsorship incoming
Would that make Verstappen a Disney princess if it happened?
The Audi sidepods are looking wild.
Fresh off the 3D printer
Best time of the year. I also like that there is no TV coverage for most of the day, which forces me to follow the autosport commentary. Somehow this feels more magical than watching it on TV.
I kind of like having the practice days on tv or computer as background noise. But thanks for the autosport tip, added to the topic ๐
Same, it's lovely to have as a kind of podcast.
I don't understand the need for secrecy. Everyone they would need to keep things secret from is on the track with them.
Teams donโt want reliability issues making a public spectacle. The second test will be shown live in its entirety.
I don't think it has anything to do with secrecy. I think it has more to do with the fact, that not many people will watch pre season testing. Also there will be coverage for the last hour of the day and full coverage for the next week.
That's fair. Generally, I would expect more interest in the pre-season tests since it's a new regulation, but I guess not.
IMO, it's not secrecy with other teams, is with the public. They don't want team's problems to be widely known by spectators, as that would create a bad image for the team.
Notice how in the YouTube Day 1 highlights of Barcelona shakedown video they conveniently ommitted that there were 3 red flags due to car's reliability issues.
I just want another win for Alonso
... is that too much to ask :/
Looks like not even Newey's magic can overcome Alonso's bad luck. That man is truly cursed.
I like the little crossover that happens during testing โ seeing Crofty and Kravitz on F1TV.
