And that is the fuel load.
I see some of you here constantly trying to blame certain (un)successful runs on having too much or too little fuel in the tank.
It would be fine if we were talking about just a few liters—maybe 4 or 5. Right? Am I being reasonable here?
So, I would really like to clear this up.
It bugs me when people try to explain qualifying positions—whether someone is ahead or behind—using a 5 kg difference in weight.
Couldn't that just be the result of hitting the throttle a fraction later or something else entirely? Drivers aren't programmed robots, after all.
What percentage of the total weight does that 5 kg actually represent, and how much does it truly impact lap times?

I mean, while 34 isn't "old," you have to admit it’s getting toward the twilight of a career—maybe three or four seasons left at most🤷
Don't get me wrong—he was a driving legend, and I say that with nothing but respect

Following in the footsteps of BMW Sauber—it’s an interesting direction to take.

Following in the footsteps of BMW Sauber... Renault is making a serious play for the future.
Renault is preparing to be the next Formula One outfit to tap into the sheer processing power of a supercomputer—all in an effort to climb the grid.
It looks like Appro—that California-based company—just landed a major contract. They’ll be supplying their high-performance 'Xtreme-X2' supercomputer to power up the French team's new CFD facility over in Enstone, UK.
According to Appro, the new supercomputer—which should boost the team's processing power by about five times—is scheduled to arrive and be fully installed at the factory by the end of June.
BMW used similar systems back when they were working with the first Albert—and even more recently with the Albert2.

Austin Evans said:No—let's just stick to what actually matters for this thread.
I'm not interested in all that pointless chatter.
Why are you suddenly getting so hung up on me?
Do you actually have something useful to say about the Australian Grand Prix, or...
Austin Evans said:But old meat is just... gross. 🙄
Austin Evans said:Man, that thing is just so incredibly tough to deal with... 🥳
Austin Evans said:At this rate, we might as well start swapping cookie recipes—maybe some knitting tips too—right in the middle of a debate about the United States Grand Prix... 🙂
rustystag7 said:The bottom line is the same—we didn't miss a thing by leaving at the end of the season. All we missed was 400 pages of recycled news and filler from some amateur F1 blog... as if any of us actually need to read that stuff.
There are fewer and fewer discussion threads because everything eventually devolves into arguing about Schumacher, or whose ego is bigger, or whose dad has more influence, or even who was wearing diapers back in '95 or '96.🙄>
