The exodus continues. Behind the smiles and jokes in the press conferences, the atmosphere must be horrendously bad for top, middle, and bottom people be heading for the exits as if the ship is sinking.

Low-key hoping next year is humbling for Horner and Marko. A pity for everyone else that works there, but those two really needs a swift kick in the arse.

Python package called FastF1.

The king of malicious compliance. And one of the best Brooklyn 99 guest stars.

I love it. Malicious compliance is the best form of protest. To hell with MbS (both of them, actually).

Even put VER as driver_1 because it feels wrong putting him as driver_3. So both versions are there. Thank you for the feedback again, they are MUCH more useful this way.

Thank you for the feedback. Was a bit pressed for time and could not change the code to change the colours, but will do. Not usual to have Williams and TR along with Red Bull…

Hard to do any worse… Even Latifi beat Albon once.

I think one of the issues he was adamant about was no 1 year deal. So I would guess he is at least 2 years.

But Audi has a vacant seat…

PER finally beats VER in qualy!!!

Plus, Williams helped ALB get beaten for the first time as well.

I love when this kind of thing happens. SAI sets the FL with no purple sectors, VER does the 2nd best with 2 purple sectors.

Yeah, me neither. I knew PER had a good record there, but best of everyone? Unexpected.

Let’s see what he can do this weekend. It is a good time for the supposed street track specialist to deliver, with 2 of them coming up.

Average of points scored

That is my fear too. Especially because that is what usually happens, especially with such a complete revolution of the regulations.

It will be a pity, just as this set of regs is becoming super competitive…

100%, but I was imagining that, since Newey is still around the F1 team during races, he would be forced to sit out 2025, which would mean he would join AM even later in the process.

March is late but much better than in the 4th trimester or something like it.

But yeah, it will be exciting, just hoping there is no one that hits the bullseye and totally dominates at the start.

The way the graphic is presented, it does look like it is a count of this season only.

VER has almost 100 points scored in Monaco alone in his career and LEC has 100 in Jeddah and Baku added up, for example.

There was really no other option, considering more track time for the team’s 2025 driver can only help. Just hope he has another good—meaning uneventful—weekend.

Pirelli Test: Problems for Lawson, 167 laps for Bearman at Fiorano Luca Manacorda 04/09/2024

A double Pirelli test session took place today, spread between Monza and Fiorano, to work on the development of the 2025 F1 tyres. In Brianza, after Mercedes and Red Bull were busy yesterday, the Racing Bulls took to the track with Liam Lawson, already seen at the wheel of the RB20 yesterday. On the Ferrari track, it was Oliver Bearman who worked at the wheel of the SF-24.

Lawson, a day full of obstacles between rain and technical problems In Monza, the second day of Pirelli testing was scheduled to continue the work on slick tyres that began on Tuesday. However, it rained during the night at the Autodromo Nazionale and so the day began with damp asphalt and consequently intermediate tyres mounted on the Racing Bulls VCARB01. The track gradually dried out, allowing the switch to slicks, but work was interrupted in the early afternoon due to an engine problem on the car. The day ended with 76 laps completed and a best time for Lawson of 1:22.530.

Pirelli Lawson Test

Bearman, work in the wet despite the sun By a twist of fate, the Pirelli test program at Fiorano was focused on the development of new solutions for wet and intermediate tires. In this case, however, the sky was clear and the artificial irrigation system that the Ferrari circuit is equipped with wet the asphalt, as expected. After a few laps in the dry, Bearman then spent the day working in simulated rain conditions, completing 167 laps of the track, just under 3 km long.

Pirelli Fiorano Test

The Pirelli test calendar still includes numerous appointments for this year, with the work of the sole supplier of tyres for F1 that will be divided on two fronts: on the one hand, they will still work on the 2025, on the other, they will begin work on the first prototypes of the 2026 tyres, with sizes slightly smaller than the current ones. For the 2025 tyres, the next commitment is scheduled at Magny-Cours on 1-2 October with Mercedes on the track, while for the 2026 tyres – as we had already reported – the honour of the first test will go to Aston Martin, on the track in Barcelona on 17-18 September.

167 laps for Bearman (Wet and Inter), 76 laps for Lawson (Inters and slicks before the issue ended his day).
