BGOL Ongoing Formula One Thread: 2025 Season

New F1 proposal for 2021 designs. I'm looking for to this simpler front wing next year to see if that improves following.

I'm looking forward simpler aero rules. The 18 wheels should bring some cool innovation in the suspensions and braking. Don't know what the plans are for the engine, but 2.4 V8 where fine with me. Didn't see the need to change that to the current formula especially in hindsight.

Yeah, I've seen these 2021 as well as 2018 design mockups. idk, man, I wonder if the wings will make that much difference. Remember the silver age of F1 saw the most downforce and the races were very competitive.
For one thing, the formula was looser allowing privateers to compete, for another we didn't have these god-awful tracks with little to no passing zones. I think those are the most harmful to the sport. Fuck Herman Tilke.

Sooner or later we're going to have to face the fact that death is what made the golden and silver ages so breathtaking. That and those screaming engines.
 
Should be an interesting start. Max one spot in front of Vettel and ol' Red Mist can't help himself, he knows if he doesn't get in front of Max, he's gonna have a long race.

F1 though have individuals drivers it is a team sport, Bottas will be rewarded over the long run. But Bottas could have been in 3rd place in point standing if they didn't asked for him to let Hamilton take the lead. Lewis owes him a weekend at the strip clubs for sure and a Rolex.

Hope they give him the last few races once Lewis wraps up the championship points.
 
Merc is fucking up LH's legacy.

They could have let Bottas take back the 1st place and still maintained their 1-2 positions. Now we have to deal with these hateful devils about how good LH is / was forever because they will keep on bringing this race up.

they were going to hate anyway
ferrari were notorious for team orders
didnt fuck up schumachers legacy
 
Nuh... When the GOAT conversation came up a few years back HAM said he'd never had a teammate moving over for him like Schumacher and so the two them cannot be compared.

Now this...

It's actually more strategy to it though. It has happened in the past. Like dude said it didnt mar Schumacher's legacy. All will be well. Ham is one of the G.O.A.T.'s regardless.
 
As asked by the SkyTV commentators, where has Ferrari's pace gone?
Over the last couple Merc introduced a new design (Ferrari has copied this for this race as well) of their wheels and that seems to have sorted out the heating issues they used to have and so their car is not eating the tyres like it used. As such, they can go all out in most circuits without worrying about tyre degradation.

also noteworthy:
. Ferrari messed up their strategy in both Monza and Singapore (and HAM had that monster of a lap).
. the Sochi circuit is most boring one on the racing calendar and I think they messed up their tyre selection for this weekend too. Lots of Hypersofts.

All in all I'd like to see how Ferrari performs on a high speed circuit with a good strategy.

Vettel, complete shit under pressure. His team ain't doing him any favors with strategy calls ,but equally he's just fucking his own season.
