    So, we ran a few errands here, outside the Black Forest and got back to the house and I started thinking (usually dangerous) “I think I will look again for tickets for Sunday”, And I’ll be damned. Fuc

I was just out there dropping someone off. What a shitshow. How does anyone have fun or there knowing that somehow you have to get out of there? So much wasted pavement out there. 

lol at GR leaving the track again but this time losing a spot

Cya Ocon no one likes you anyway

Why is out? Terminal case of being French?

Fuck. Piastri is out.

They need to get Bianca Bustamante into the show asap

Toss a coin to your bitcher

Oh, Ferrari. Their drivers basically have to be quarterbacks memorizing all of these strategies.

"Charles, what are your thoughts on plan Q, with modifier C?"

Leclerc was 3 second ahead of Sainz in the firsts stint and extended about 6 laps further. Leclerc would easily be in P3 if he ran the same strategy. Nice of Ferrari to fuck him out of a podium today. 

Apparently braking and talking is a bridge too far.

Max can handle everything but GP talking while he brakes. Kinda weird. 

Rip gonna let the checkered flag rip... Or something.

They booing max or hot wheels? Lulz

Yeah, I couldn't quite make that out.  There was 2-3 "boo" outbursts but with the sound lag, it was hard to tell to whom it was directed.  

Oh wait, obligatory, "Meh feelings, noCR!"  

I could sorta see it go either way considering how much Brisket and others on here only hate two things, Politicians intolerant of other people's culture.  AND THE DUTCH!

Lewis could have won. Bad strategy by Merc today. Good race overall watching Lewis chase. Perez is going to lose 2nd

Nintendo's Missile Command reboot looks lit as fuck.

Ya COTA sucks, the other 10000 posts about it have let us know already.

But as far as a track that produces some great races (outside the sprint, which was unexpected given how exciting most sprints have been), this was another great one. Different strategies, tight racing throughout, highly entertaining. I love this track layout.

Looks like Charles and Lewis will probably be DSQ due to plank wear. They checked 4 cars and those two were out of spec. That’s what a bumpy track and one practice session gets you.

If 2 out of 4 fail, why don’t they check all 20?

They’ve done that with regularity the past two seasons. LeClerc might benefit from a different seat at some point.

They probably should, but these are just part of the random post race checks, so [emoji2369] . I’d bet the other cars have already started to be torn down anyway.

Yay sprint weekend

WTF is a plank test?

 Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc have been disqualified from the US Grand Prix after failing post race plank checks.

4 min low plank. Hamiltons necklace touched the floor and LeClerc was confused if he was on plan S or plan V.

Maybe??

In looking into planks in race car, I found this from last year. Oh the irony. 
 

Quote

FIA rules state the wooden plank which runs along the bottom of the car must have a limit of 2mm of flexibility, but there was suspicion some in the paddock had found a grey area which allowed them to hit up to 6mm of flexibility.

Mercedes’ Toto Wolff was the most vocal in his criticism of the FIA’s slowness to act, saying it should have been policed as soon the FIA had caught suspicion it was going on, but the Austrian now has his wish with the governing body set to inspect the cars more closely.

The cars have had a plank on the bottom made from Jabroc (a beechwood and resin material) ever since Senna’s accident to prevent them from running too low, which can cause sudden loss of downforce and therefore a crash.

This plank is supposed to be a minimum of like 9mm. If it’s less than that, it fails the technical regs. Because of only having one practice session and a bumpy track, it looks like some teams were a little too aggressive with the ride height, and the planks wore too much. Only 4 cars were checked and 2 failed, from different teams, so it’s likely there were several others, but we won’t know.

Example of plank:

Zhou-Silverstone-2022-3-1.jpg

You would think with only 20 cars and the amount of money involved they could check every car that finishes a race.

If 2 out of 4 fail, why don’t they check all 20?
Exactly. If you have a 50% fail rate, check everyone.

They probably should, but these are just part of the random post race checks, so [emoji2369] . I’d bet the other cars have already started to be torn down anyway.
Starting with the planks.

porsche penske failed a plank check by less than a millimeter costing them the win at watkins glen this year

It’s bullshit that all cars weren’t checked. Giving a podium to a car that may also be illegal is ludicrous

Well, well, well.... turns out Lewis SHAMilton and Charles LeCHEAT can't play by the rules. Both them are ruining the sport with their consistent and flagrant use of thin planks. Max Verstappen is a true champion of the sport and life. He would never stoop to the level of these willful cheaters. There's a stain on the sport and these two cheating drivers that will never be erased no matter how thick they run their "rear skid area."

 Lewis should be stripped of all titles and Charles should be relegated to racing for Ferrari.

Charles is relegated to racing for Ferrari.

Would more practice sessions help to make sure this doesn’t happen? 2/4 cars, on different teams failed. Seems like the rules should be changed to allow for adjustments from FP1 to the race on sprint weekends.

Man that's tough.  On a day when likely a lot more would have failed, and on the sprint weekend, seems like it should be all or nothing.  You either check everyone or you let it go. 

Anyway, at least the race was pretty fun, poor strategy from Ferrari aside.  Oh and the crappy performance of Aston Martin and Fred's retirement aside.

Actually, turns out all my guys struggled.  Eff that race. :)

I assumed it was generated from ChatGPT with a few selected prompts.

I wish we could know how much of an advantage this provided. I mean, you have to have rules and restrictions to keep the competition in check, but the vibe I'm getting is that they are getting a disqualification for something that's minor. Then again, I'm just a guy on the internet reading from other guys on the internet.
