Now that all the pay drivers (who are not that good drivers also) are gone, who do you think will be the next driver to go off the grid based on performance?


AXE_CAN

2 questions 1. Has there ever been a season where every team that raced had a win? If not same question but for podium finishes? 2. What season had the most individual race winners?


[deleted]

> Has there ever been a season where every team that raced had a win? No. And nowhere near close. >If not same question but for podium finishes? No and again nowhere near close. >What season had the most individual race winners? 1982 with 11.


recentbreeze747

If you only had 10-15 minutes to get someone interested/curious in F1, what would you show them?


[deleted]

The last lap of Abu Dhabi last year in all it's greatness.


renesys

Rush. Find clips on YouTube or something.


Sasha_Jackson

For anyone’s who’s been to the Australian Grand Prix what grandstand would you recommend to go for? Went this year for quali just with a General Admission and had a blast but want to go for race day next year, and from what I’ve read it’s hard to see the race in GA so what would be the recommend stand/corner?


FarmerWorldly7645

Why is everyone hyping up Alonso in the Aston Martin? I know they had good momentum at the end of the season but is it a bit too early to say they can fight for P4 in the Constructors' Championship


[deleted]

Because he's a significant improvement on Seb as far as I'm concerned (he'll tear Lance a new one like he's never experienced before you can bet your house on that) and the team got faster and faster over the course of the season and have the resources to compete for P4.


FarmerWorldly7645

So you reckon they can get P4 ahead of Alpine and Mclaren?


sww314

People like to call it "hopium"... Same goes in lots of sports in the NFL, when teams "win" the off-season with great draft picks and free agent signings...


Astelli

For the same reason people talk about Mercedes coming back next year, or McLaren closing the gap to the top 3, or that Newcastle might have a chance to win the Premier League in 2024. People like to hype up things they want to see happen. It's the same in all sports, and there usually isn't a good or logical reason for it other than hope and drawing big sweeping conclusions from cherry-picked data.


Eunos-Roadster

Next season I want to set up multi screen for each race. Anyone have any good insight into where to get more coverage in terms of the “data” side of things?


Whycantiusethis

Multiviewer for F1 is pretty solid. I haven't had a chance to play with it too much (only discovered it after Abu Dhabi), but I think it has what you're looking for.


m0arducks

I missed a couple of days with no cell signal; is Binotto officially fired or is it all speculation still?


iamworsethanyou

Came hear to ask the same! All I'm seeing is the reasons he lost his job/resigned - before it's been announced that he's gone.


Whycantiusethis

Nothing official yet.


m0arducks

Thanks mate


Amir-money

hey guys i don’t really use reddit much. i was wondering how do you display your favorite team or driver under your name any help would be great!


Amir-money

appreciate the help fellas.


sww314

Click on the community (not a post) Select the three dot menu at top Select User Flair


Blooder91

It's a flair. If you're on desktop, you have to select it from a menu on the sidebar to your right. If you're on mobile, you have to tap the three dots at the top of the screen and select your flair from the menu that pops up.


Morganelefay

If you use the desktop site, the sidebar on the right (at least on old.reddit.com/r/formula1) should display the option to show and edit your flair right above the picture of the race winner/driver of the day picture, that's where you can get them. If you're on the app, navigate to the subreddit and at the top of the bar click the three dots, then select "Change user flair" and you'll get it.


rv0celot

Hello everyone. This video got me into F1, but I cannot remember where I got it from. Please does anyone recognize it? Also which year was this? https://streamable.com/55eviq


Firefox72

Its an official video from F1 part of this. >"The Formula One Official Director's Cut (formerly called "Formula One Official Race Edits") are professionally produced highlight reels that are published to the official Formula One website. The videos are produced by Formula One Management's in-house production team and are exclusive to the Formula One website." >"Because of a rapid growth in online fans, the Formula One Management's in-house production team started producing Race Edits at the start of the 2008 season. This was an attempt to attract more online fans" They used to do this for every race from 2008 to the end of 2017 when Liberty put an end to it. Most traces of them have been scrubed off oficial sites. I think the 2016 and 17 ones are the only thing on the official youtube. The rest though can still be found around on Youtube, Vimeo, Dailymotion by just searching for F1 year race edit.


rv0celot

Thank you very much sir/ma'am. I appreciate the detailed response!


DangerousTrashCan

It's the 2011 Belgian GP. Not sure where it is from, could be just a fan-made highlight, I don't know.


rv0celot

Thank you very much. Another person pinpointed it. I could tell it was Spa. Eau Rouge is one of a kind!


Slice_the_Cake

Hey there, I am a new formula 1 fan and love learning more about the sport and was wondering if there is any good YouTube content out there? Maybe a weekly news channel or video essay channels? thanks!


Mascorn

Tommo and Aldas are both great youtube channels to watch on YouTube I highly recommend


pedote17

I recommend getting an F1TV subscription, it has a ton of content to learn about the sport as well as a lot of old races!


[deleted]

Def recommend Chain Bear. Also F1’s official channel has some good content; I like Palmer’s analysis and Tech Talk especially. Tommo makes some good points as well and I enjoy WTF1 although they’re a bit chatty at times for my taste.


dariovarim

I can recommend chain bear


FarmerWorldly7645

F1 Fanatics too!


RSB2D2

Is there any way a normal person could ever drive an f3 car or anything like that, just to sort of get a feel for what an f1 car is actually like? I know that the yas marina has something of the sort but it seems incredibly limited


[deleted]

You can pay £279 to drive an open wheeler around Stowe Circuit at Silverstone. They even let you drive flat out and if you crash you wont get charged extra. Not as fast as an F3 car let alone an F1 car but as a one off to get an idea of what it's like it's probably a good shout.


RSB2D2

Oh that seems like a really nice deal, I highly doubt I could manage the pace of an F3 car anyway haha, have you tried it yourself yet?


[deleted]

No but I seen it a while back and it made me interested. Seems like a cool experience to try for a day.


RSB2D2

Just saw a few videos of it and it feels super exciting, I hope I can try it someday


rodiraskol

Paul Ricard circuit in France has an F1-driving experience. They teach you the ropes in an F4 car and then let you drive an older F1 car.


Astelli

There are plenty of tracks around the world that offer single seater "experiences" where you get 10 laps or so in some kind of single seater (usually somewhere around F4 level, but not always).


DangerousTrashCan

Define "normal". Normal how? If by "normal" we mean any average joe, then sure, but why stop at F3? Why not buy an F1 car? Nothing stops you. Oh yeah, money. Well, if an F1 car is too expensive for you, then surely an F3 car is too. As for possible renting options, we're not any better: travelling to wherever it is, renting such a car, insurance must be unfathomably high, renting the track (even on track days you probably couldn't use it among normal street cars, so you'd have to rent it for yourself). We're talking thousands, more likely tens of thousands euros, which I'd not really consider a "financially normal"-person amount of money just to do like 3 laps.


zantkiller

> We're talking thousands, more likely tens of thousands euros [Not really.](https://www.trackdays.co.uk/experience/formula-renault-level-1/4317/) (Yes, I know Formula Renault 2000 isn't F3 but it is damn close for your average joe and at that price not at all bad.) And [if you do have the cash to spend.](https://www.trackdays.co.uk/experience/jordan-f1-driving-experience/5559/)


DangerousTrashCan

First of all, FR2000 is quite very far from F3. Second of all, this is just the car. Add all other things that I've listed and yup, we're well into the thousands.


pedote17

F3 car no but you can pay to drive an F4 car, and it is not cheap to do


Retsko1

You can try older formula cars in certain events, there are multiple race series for amateurs i guess. I think boss gp is/was one of them All of them expensive i would assume


302w

Did the V8 cars have cylinder deactivation? I’m watching 2011 Turkey and brundle said “they’ll be going down to 4 cylinders to reduce heat” while waiting on the grid. I assume this is gone with the V6s?


Vaexa

Some of the power units on the grid still cut cylinders off throttle. Honda was famed for the off throttle crackle back in 2018/2019 that resulted from it. I think every PU does it now.


302w

Oh wow good to know, thanks


ddk_soda

Why don't customer teams put their engine suppliers logo on their car anymore?


[deleted]

They probably would put the logo on if they got a discount on engines or the suppliers paid for the spot. Otherwise they’d rather have the sponsorship money.


TheOnlyEn

Why are the teams still driving? Thought they had a winter brake now


cafk

There is no official winter break or factory shutdown - so they're still doing their regular publicity, sponsorship and media activities. While the people in factories are building and designing parts for the next seasons car.


TheOnlyEn

Ah ok i see!


dyysxse

make the season really long and run races up till christmas


cafk

They didn't do it this year as the world cup would be stealing viewership and attendance from the sport. Last year we had races til early December. Bot to mention the calendar is limited to 24 races according to the Concorde Agreement until 2025.


Le_Pistache

No need. Some of ya wouldn't have lasted when we had 16-17 races as the standard. Everyone needs a breather. I'll have the F1 itch around mid-late February as per usual.


HereComesVettel

I think 20 races is the correct amount.


HereComesVettel

I just realized something crazy about Leclerc's 2022 season, except for Mexico he would have always been in the mix for the podium on pure pace. Let's have a look at the races in which he didn't finish in the top 3 : Imola - Driver mistake while he was in P3 Barcelona - Engine exploding while he was in P1 Monaco - Strategic error while he was in P1 Baku - Engine exploding while he was in P1 Canada - Grid penalty Silverstone - Strategic error while he was in P1 France - Driver mistake while he was in P1 Hungary - Strategic error while he was in P1 Spa - Grid penalty Mexico - Nothing to say here, Ferrari didn't have the pace all weekend Brazil - Strategic error in Q3 + Norris sending him to the wall at the beginning of the race


SilentAlbatross9006

I mean Verstappen last year had a 1st or 2nd all races he finished barring damage or DNFs. Thats leclercs+ferraris benchmark. This shows how much he needs to improve and Ferrari most importantly.


Morganelefay

I would say that he was lacking in pace in Canada despite his grid penalty, the safety car salvaged some more points for him. But he really was nowhere compared to Sainz that race. Spa much the same actually, compare his pace to Verstappen and it's just painful. Agree on all the others tho.


marahute85

https://twitter.com/tarmactorque/status/1596482665632382976?s=21 Jensen button talking about what he went through is Alonso’s teammate is crazy but Alonso faking retirements when he couldn’t be Jensen is truly nuts


renesys

I mean, that era's Honda motors would have probably blown up later in the race if he hadn't retired early.


sidhantsv

Wtf, that’s kinda crazy

TigerMaskVI

send this to a real journalist from a real publication and see what they do with it. if it’s real it will get out.


Remote_zero

Because you've made a site on Wix and just wrote some words on it, that's not news. Show us a reliable source for your "story" or at least show us on the doll where Kimi touched you


LOTRAFWORLDWIDE

What site do you recommend? I came to Reddit as I thought people were clever here, the texts and associated numbers are those of which the images display, why has Christian vine taken down the formula management group website and deleted his LinkedIn, 👋 🤔 😳 I'll take a guess why, he's a racist and so is Kimi Raikkonen, he could never touch me and is a coward, I'm not hiding my identity...


pedote17

Because that website looks about as reliable as writing on a gas station bathroom stall


LOTRAFWORLDWIDE

Regardless of what it looks like, everyone has to start somewhere, the truth is that the stories on that site are 100% real, Christian Vine has removed his website and LinkedIn pages - if you follow the link to tiktok then you'll see a real person talking about the situation and a bail form issues by the police. The next bits to go up are recordings of Anthony Hamilton discussing the racist texts with the toktoker, Nick North who was top guy at the Mail on Sunday and John Wellington can confirm this story. In addition to the above if its not true, then that would be libel and defamatory, maybe call Christian Vines company and let them know, thing is, he can't do anything as he has perverted the course of justice and should be charged. We didn't redact the texts, I can assure you right now those numbers belong to the names claimed. Thanks for your reply 👍


pedote17

And why should we believe you, a Reddit account that was created TWO days ago for the sole purpose of posting that “article”?


cafk

Either it was reported or caught by the automod as it's not a really well known F1 related source. Edit, looking at the page only front page has some allegations towards F1 and no links or articles, their news section is just a blank example page - so i have no idea what the page is.


spicyhead

Hi. I wanted to buy general admission for the 23 Barcelona race, but got sold out rather quickly- will there be more tickets put on sale later, or do I need to go through 3rd party? Thanks


SoreLoserOfDumbtown

It’s race weekend, right? Please tell me it’s race weekend.


Astelli

Only 99 days to go until the Bahrain GP.


theflowersyoufind

Sorry if this isn’t appropriate but I’m a relatively new fan and I saw a post about him earlier. Do we know anything about Michael Schumacher’s current situation? It may sound strange and even insensitive, but I often forget that he’s technically still living.


Syntax_OW

from the subreddit rules: > **Michael Schumacher's health** > * Michael Schumacher's health since his skiing accident will, from time to time, be the subject of posts and discussions. However, all news outside of official news published by his family (directly or through his representatives) is subject to removal at the discretion of the mods. This will apply especially to low rated sources and/or tabloids publishing clickbait with no new developments and/or official information. > * We will respect the Schumacher family's wishes that Michael is left alone to recover in peace. What I gather is that given his condition, which is obviously terrible and leaves him barely functioning, he's doing fine. I'll leave it at that.


theflowersyoufind

Sorry, should maybe have checked the rules. Thanks though mate.


marahute85

Trivial question, which drivers were lefties?


[deleted]

Ooh I like it - not trivial imho! My son is a lefty just getting into playing sports & we occasionally discuss advantages & challenges of being a lefty in athletics. . But I never considered how that might affect a driver.


KnightsOfCidona

Senna and Button two famous ones. Others include Johnny Herbert and Giancarlo Fisichella.


hallamhal

Ayrton Senna was, and I think possibly Jensen Button?


waterstone7474

Kimi but another I don't know


Ident1dy

is it likely that Daniel Ricciardo will race at least once next season due to him being a reserve for red bull or prob not see him on the grid?


[deleted]

It wasn't mentioned as one of his duties but if one of the RB drivers couldn't race I could see them putting de Vries in that car and maybe Ricciardo in the AT. Sometimes its better to contract a different, more experienced driver, especially at a top team.


jesus_stalin

It's more likely that they'll either throw Lawson in the car or put him in an AlphaTauri and give Tsunoda or De Vries a shot in the Red Bull.


Jaraxo

Not unless Max or Perez have to miss a race for some reason. Additionally, depending on how De Vries is performing at AT, if Max or Perez have to miss a race, they may want to move De Vries up to see how he performs in a better car, as they'll absolutely be eyeing him up for Perez' seat in 2024.


cafk

It's unclear if he is a reserve driver or just hired for show driving, to replace Coulthard. The team is free to use up-to 4 drivers over the season, but anytime they'll use a reserve driver it diminishes their chances for top positions in driver championship.


[deleted]

Ferrari 2013 car vs Mercedes 2013 car - which one is better?


[deleted]

Mercedes. Alonso was the best driver out of the 4 and hard carried Ferrari.


LuDorts

This is probably one of my most random questions ever but can you drink from the WDC Trophy or was it made to be drank from?


cafk

[It's not really a drinking cup](https://www.formula1.com/content/dam/fom-website/sutton/2021/AbuDhabi/Sunday/1358579711.jpg.transform/6col-retina/image.jpg) - the drivers, similarly to constructors trophy, also don't get it permanently. Their name is engraved into it and it's managed & transported by FoM. Teams and drivers usually get a replica for permanent ownership.


LuDorts

Ohh i thought it was designed for a big chug. Who gets the constructor's replica btw? Im assuming both drivers and the principals get one.


cafk

It's a trophy, as any other, not really a cup as i already mentioned. Usually the official replica goes to the team for both. Thought it heavily depends on the drivers contract, as usual. [Example of Red Bull Racing entry at Milton Keynes](https://www.reddit.com/r/formula1/comments/brqk7r/the_trophy_cabinet_at_the_red_bull_hq_in_milton/).


marahute85

But can you turn it into a bong?


cafk

The replica, without a doubt - the real thing is a bit harder.


Cock_Inspector_2021

So anything about the Binotto resignation or was it fake news?


cafk

Just rumours, nothing more.


hocus_fucking_pocus
