It is being reported that 9 of the 10 F1 teams voted against introducing Halo.

Why would you want to get out?

Autosport are reporting that according to ADAC the fine is actually 5000 Euros.

Well he is apparently not doing media interviews “for legal reasons” so I would imagine that’s where he went when he’d finished his drink ;)

Radio Le Mans reports a seven minute stop and hold penalty - basically two laps.

What I find amusing is that the process of “teaching” the car a track sounds pretty much the same as setting up the AI waypoints for a sim racing track:

First appearances:

I don’t have enough stars for this one. I find it very frustrating how rarely the distinction is made in media coverage. Whilst I am not really one to believe in media bias, you do have to wonder sometimes...

It’s difficult to say as current F1 engines are simply not designed with that type of use in mind. They are hybrids, recovering energy during braking (amongst other sources) and then using it during acceleration.

F1 still can’t decide which qualifying format to use, so they’ll do a tweaked version of use the exact same wacky one from the season opener.

What I noticed was that they played games with the tyres - in one of the events the F1 car was on wets and in another the bike was. It irritated me a bit as it appeared they were trying to make them appear more closely matched than they actually were...

Not so. Teams were already banned from sending any form of telemetry to the cars and the steering wheel displays (a standard unit mandated by the FIA) communicate with the ECU (a standard unit mandated by the FIA) in order to display data generated by the car itself. There is a system to communicate flag information…

It was a comment on the internal forum that was leaked with no context (although it was still clearly a joke, what game studio developer would say something like “we don’t like Nintendo users!” and mean it?) to a few Wii U blogs who, starved of other news (the platform being effectively dead by that point), ran with…

It wasn’t on Kickstarter. It was funded via the developer’s own crowdfunding platform. Backers got access to development builds for the PC and, depending on their backing level either got a discount towards the final PC release or a free copy of the PC release (and some free DLC at higher levels).

I really wonder where this idea has come from as it’s laughably false. I’d really like to see the “evidence” to back it up :D

You mean the comment that was entirely obviously unambiguously a joke?

A sad day indeed.

Not so. The first F1 driver fatality as a result of an incident during a race weekend.

Paulo Gislimberti at the Italian GP, 2000. He was struck by a wheel which became detached in a multi-car accident at Variante della Roggia (the second chicane).
