God I’m so tired of hearing track limits this track limits that, especially days and weeks after a race. Day of race, day after, fine. But there needs to be a time limit on these, if there is one now it needs to be shorter. I hate seeing race results change days and weeks later because they crossed the line by 2 inches.

Get rid of track limit penalties and just put gravel behind the white lines and it will sort itself out

Nobody makes the same argument for pitch sports such as football. I don't understand why motorsports should be any different. The only ridiculous thing is the big delay. Just put technology in place that can spot this in real time. It exists, it's not science fiction.

MotoGP already has this tech in place and has for a while, works pretty well.

And the long lap penalty is pretty genius. You get a penalty, you have to serve it pretty soon, not get added after the race like F1, at which point you've had the chance to build a buffer because the cars can't follow that closely.

Haas just got in to F1 to bitch about everything, not to actually race.

[–] woelkchen@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's Gene Haas specifically, not the actual workforce of the team.

Steiner's entire job hinges on him making headlines.

Bitching is why Mercedes are on the grid this season
