minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink-4•1 year agoYou can’t just extrapolate a datapoint from 4 to 20 and expect to keep the fail rate constant. I don’t exactly like the sprint format either, but this is not exactly a good argument to scrap it.
minus-square@MacPathfinderlink5•1 year agoOn a sprint weekend where the plank gets 19 more laps of abuse than an average race? Yes, yes you can.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink0•1 year agoTeams knew that it would be a sprint weekend. Teams knew Austin is bumpy as hell. Teams therefore knew that the floor would get 19 more laps of abuse. Mercedes has already admitted fault and I doubt either them or ferrari will appeal this. It was their mistake. I like shitting on FIA as much as the next guy, but why shit on them for stupid reasons?
