Looks like they pulled the plug on the biggest race of the season in Monaco.

Michael Lee4 said:I have to disagree... overtaking on certain tracks is just so brutal that even DRS doesn't make much of a difference. You really only see it happen with DRS when the guy ahead has absolutely shredded his tires—and again, that's only on specific tracks...

Maybe at two or three places like Monaco... or whatever. On most tracks, passing is easier because you're basically taking a massive detour just to get around someone, not just for a single spot.

So, DRS isn't really the main culprit here—there are way more factors at play. For starters, they should just bring back the refueling... ☕

That's what I meant about the Vestack overtakes. It’s like being in a boxing match where one guy has his hands tied behind his back while the other is allowed to swing with both. That's F1 for you—one side gets the assist and the other doesn't.

Michael Lee4 said:If you ask me, the detection zone should be somewhere between 2 and 4—plus another one from 13 to 17, though that would stay open until 2... we'll just have to see how things shake out... ☕

Honestly, if it were up to me, I’d just scrap DRS entirely. Passing has become way too easy. And don't even get me started on those Vestack overtakes.

Everyone keeps hyping up the Lotus crew, but honestly—they aren't bringing anything special to the table when it comes to the development race.

Massa is gonna get hit with that "Alonso is faster than you" reality check...😁

Seriously though—I'm really pulling for an Alonso win...😁😁

Look, I've never touched a single touring car or IndyCar sim, so honestly, I was hooked from the jump. 🙂
Same kid here—fell in love with F1 instantly. Then again, considering this is my first race, I guess I shouldn't be surprised. 😁

P.S. When you post photos or race updates, can you at least include a schedule? 😉 Like qualifying, race times, etc.—and please, use US time zones.
🙂

Na primer ovu:


The game finally dropped on PC—it’s officially out...

I've never actually played any BTCC or GP2 games—so I was hooked on these races from the very first second... 🙂
Same kid, just with F1...

It’s really just because you aren't used to ovals yet...

P.S. Next time you post race photos or info—just give us a schedule or some timestamps... help us out here...😉
So, what's the deal with the race and all that? If we can, let's try to get it scheduled around our time...🙂

Qualifiers are Sunday at 10:30 AM our time—and then the race kicks off later that evening at 5:00 PM...

No Sprint Cup this weekend—it's just the Nationwide race happening over in Chicago...

Let's go Danica Patrick! 🙂

Yeah, honestly, that race was kind of a dud. If you’re actually looking for some NASCAR action, you should probably just try playing one of those racing games instead... it might be more your speed.

Melissa Roberts96, did you catch the race? Keselowski jumped from 22nd all the way up to 5th—insane... Hamlin took 2nd though. 🙂

Aaaaaahhhhhh.......

I missed out on Nationwide—how are their vehicles holding up?

Man, I’m pretty gutted—it feels like a total gut punch when you should've had the win in the bag.😠 Once again, the geniuses over at Ferrari completely blew it with their strategy. Though, if I'm being honest... looking at how we finished last in Q2 and somehow clawed our way up to second—beating out both Sebastian Vettel and Lewis Hamilton—maybe it’s not as bad as it feels...

Seriously, what kind of penalty is that? I mean... it's Ferrari. 👋

But honestly, I just don't buy it...😂

Douglas Parker61 said:CBS gave you the rundown pretty clearly. When there's a yellow flag, you can set your personal best, just not within that specific sector. Alonso lost a ton of time in the final sector—or, as they put it on CBS, he didn't grab a green sector, which basically means he slowed down. Nothing to argue about here. If anything, people were just surprised Jenson Button didn't pull the same move.

Button just doesn't have Alonso's brains😁

"I wasn't hitting any green sectors on that lap," Alonso mentioned. "I just backed off a bit in the section where they were pulling the car away."

☕

OH MYYYYYY GOD

WOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Alonso is the absolute GOAT—what a car, what a legend...
