I don’t understand your take: F1 is now closer together (from P1 to P20) as it has never been before. Yes you still see the similar guys at front, however every mistake is costly.

I think one of the reason of the bore fest of the last 2 races, was (besides the tyre stuff) how similar the cars have become and how hard it is to make a difference when you want to overtake someone.

The upcoming Japan GP was definitely a big factor in this decision.

And that was seemingly because of a break defect on the Aston Martin.

Would be strange if Liberty Media didn’t renew the contract of their own GP.

Friendly reminder to anyone who will start watching F1 because of Drive to Survive:

The drama here is mostly fake. The ‘bad’ guys and the ‘good’ guys are just guys who like to race fast cars! Media likes to create beef, where in reality there is none!

I never thought about this idea, but like it very much! It’s like with semiconductors where you got different nm-technologies.

Now that Günther was replaced, they can build the pitwall with cheaper and less sturdy materials. The saved money is used on expansion of the pitwall.

In highschool we had a maths teacher who always did the birthday paradox as a kind of opener in the first lesson. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birthday_problem

He bet 10€, that there are 2 students with the same birthday in the classroom of (abt) 30 students. The class was allowed to work out, if they want to accept the bet, or not (exchanging birthdates was not allowed ofc).

Usually the students think, that it’s nearly impossible, and accept the bet. Little did we know, that the probability of success was around 70% for the teacher.
