Now try to list 7 that are not scams.

Your F1 ET times are very off.

Exactly - if FOM wants to make an argument on cost grounds I can see the rationale. But on safety? No way. Humans are statistically going to make more errors than sensors, and it just adds to the workload of the release crewmember now, further increasing the likelihood of errors, and making the pitstop more dangerous.

This is the correct take.

1. The only way to make a pit stop completely safe is to have autonomous cars and robot pit crew. Anything else and you’re inviting a certain amount of risk and I believe they are currently at an appropriate risk level (just my opinion).

What McLaren really means is that Red Bull’s automated systems have been pushing McLaren into a zone where they have no leeway for human error.

Bullshit. The other teams just cried like little babies because they can’t/won’t spend the money to implement the technology. It’s F-ducts all over again.

This is a terrible take. Using humans to back up sensors is always the wrong choice. Red Bull have very few unsafe releases, while we see other teams releasing with wobbly wheels.

Ironic, considering Red Bull has had the most reliable pit stop job. CMIIW the last time Red Bull had a loose wheel was in 2013 Nurburgring. Meanwhile McLaren had two wheel related unsafe releases in 2019.

it was mercedes that complained because they ignored improving their pit stops because they had a second a lap faster car and didn’t need them.

now that they need them, suddenly red bull is “cheating”

bullshit. red bull has not had _one_ unsafe release in 2 years. you know who have had unsafe releases? all the teams not…

They can if they plan on selling it for another 12 years.

Yup. C6 Grand Sport has so much grip with Pilot Cups it’s dangerous. You can ride that thing so hard that when the grip finally lets go you are really and truly up a creek.

Yeah, not a lot of boulders at the mall, unless you’re off-roading in the median or the sculpture garden.

One could argue that this is the essence of owning an "off-road" vehicle in the first place. How many people buy a Jeep because there's a mountain to climb and a creek to ford on the way to the office everyday?

Seems like a stretch to get there...kind of one of those “solution in search of a problem” things

Nobody with a strong political opinion is actually tolerant or open-minded. Nobody.

Amen to that. I love how these people get on a high horse about calling others snowflakes, but they throw a temper tantrum over someone wearing a t-shirt or a Starbucks cup saying “happy holidays”.

Nice, Lewis! You are the greatest Formula 1 driver of all time so use that position for change. If people don’t like that, they can go fuck their conservative, racist, twinkerbelle asses. Tough shit, eh, republicans?

Oh, and your name is misspelled in each of the photo credits.
