He fixes the cable?
Whoa. Gianpiero Lambiase moves to McLaren.
So this seems to confirm that RBR will be a high midfield or low front team. They are coming apart pretty badly.Whoa. Gianpiero Lambiase moves to McLaren.
Juha Miettinen was killed at the Nurburgring during an NLS event, part of the N24 qualifiers, in a seven car pileup. He was driving a BMW. They immediately red flagged the race (25 minutes into the race) to deal with the situation and then canceled the rest of the race. The other six drivers were checked out, some in the hospital, with no life threatening injuries. They will run tomorrow's four-hour race of the doubleheader weekend.
Looking at the photos it was a pretty ugly incident and a significant drivers side impact.
Just bumping the '26 thread with this info.Here's the live coverage of the race from YouTube.
At around 50:00 you just suddenly see red flags come out and everyone confused for a minute.
Edit: Apparently one of the cars involved (the #992 Porsche) had a YouTube live feed has been unsurprisingly deleted.
I didn't realize I posted under the old thread. Thanks for doing this.Just bumping the '26 thread with this info.
He isn't gone, he's just one lap ahead.
I think they always knew that the rules were not perfect and could be tweaked. It not as if they rules are being abandoned, the max recharge per lap has gone down 12.5% and the max charge rate during super clipping has gone up. There are some minor changes to make the teams who didn't really consider the start do better- which I think is really lame- Ferrari specifically asked about that situation and they were strictly told to design around it. They were the only ones who did.Is this F1 admitting they fucked up or being a-scrurred of Max flouncing?
I was wondering if it was the first step in them backing the new rules out entirely.I think they always knew that the rules were not perfect and could be tweaked.

The Race suggests that this should result in about a 1 second drop in lap times, which probably won't be noticed.
They do. But it’s a lot harder now to do significant changes due to the cost caps. While these rules seem like a huge change from the last rules, the only significant differences are the electrical contribution and the removal of the eturbo. The eturbo is why the starts suck, and the additional ev is why you see harvesting on the straights.I was wondering if it was the first step in them backing the new rules out entirely.
This is my first big F1 rule change as a fan (last significant one was 2014?). Do tweaks really happen during the season or between seasons?
