I have absolutely no words to describe this.

Remember when people were thinking I Am Indy was cringe?

The other sports are more flexible to stoppages, in a motor race it can literally change the outcome of a race

another race wrapped up, more stats

.38th victory for Max Verstappen
-only the 5th time in history a driver starting on 9th ends on the top step (others were Trintingnant at Monaco/55 for Ferrari, Surtees at Monza/67 for Honda, Scheckter at Mosport/77 for Wolf and Lauda at Dijon-Prenois/84 for McLaren)

.97th victory for Red Bull
-won 15 of the last 16 races (equals McLaren in 1988, Ferrari between 2003-04, Mercedes between 2014-15). If they win the next is a new record among team wins.

.23rd fastest lap for Max Verstappen
-equals Fangio, Piquet and Alonso for a joint 10th on all time ranking

.only the 3rd pole position start for Sergio Pérez

.30th podium finish for Sergio Pérez
-equals Juan-Pablo Montoya

.first retirement free race since 2021 Turkish GP

.first yellow flag or major incident free race since a long long time.

Wow, not even a single yellow?

LucasWheldon · PostPosted: Tue May 09, 2023 7:39 pm

nope, just a couple of corner cutting and a penalty for Sainz for braking late on pit entrance

drivers behaved very well this weekend

Soul Reaver · PostPosted: Tue May 09, 2023 10:46 pm

Also, first time someone won from starting 9th since Niki Lauda at Dijon 1984.

F1 has been swimming in it's own shit for too long. We need a rival series that cuts out the gimmicks.

Imagine someone reverse engineering a 2003 Ferrari F1 car, adding DRS, building 25 of them and just doing simple races at dedicated race tracks. You'd have a low cost series, purely dedicated to racing with no frills and everyone would watch it.

Pretty close to describing Indycar tbh

not gonna work, creative engineers will give one or two teams the upper hand and drive costs up until it dies

Internationally it still hasnt recovered from the split IMHO.
Early to mid-90s Bernie was scared enough of it to sign deals with tv-stations and tracks prohibiting them from dealing with CART. Not really needed today.

Isn’t that similar to what A1GP did?

LucasWheldon · PostPosted: Wed May 10, 2023 6:55 pm

the right thing to do is Liberty use the funds from F1 that will race in sportswashed street circuits and fund a racing series for enthusiasts at classic tracks with drivers who doesn't leave their brains in the garage before racing

No one would watch it because it isn´t Formula 1. The name is everything. Nobody watched A1GP or that Football thing, hardly anyone watches Formula E despite of the great drivers in it.
People watch F1, complain that it is boring and then watch it again.

Exactly what I was thinking. Until they changed the car, of course.

I thought the Ferrari chassis was essentially a reverse-engineered F2003GA?

EDIT: One year off, it was based on the F2004.

4/5ths of the success of Formula 1 is down to the marketing. It's not even a good product it's just served up to the masses really well.

Yeah A1GP and Superleague didn't work, but we live in a different era now. I don't think a country or football based racing series would work today, but a genuine racing series would.

How about this for a pitch - Formula 1, with all the noise, but no gimmicks and it will be difficult for one team to dominate?

I understand peoples cynicism on why it wouldn't work, but how good would it be if it did. I'll start a gofundme to get $100m together next week.
