I didn't hate the sprint race, but it does feel a bit gimmicky. Way more to lose than there is to gain unless you're a perennial backmarker.

The standard quali format isn't broken. Leave it alone.

Also, **** Lewis.

I agree, you didn't have to worry about traffic and getting draft from your teammates then.
Just flat out doing the best lap you can.

As for the sprint race, i think half way through it, everyone wasn't taking any risk anymore.

well waht sucked about 1 lap qualy was that it was an hour long, but nobody went out until there were 5 minutes left, so you'd have most of the broadcast where the commentators BS'd while showing footage of crews in the garage.

I liked the sidepods and shark nose of the F310. Schumacher and Irvine didn't like the car though.

I literally have been wondering for 25 years how they made the F310B out of the F310. They look like 2 totally different cars, but I guess are the same underneath the bodywork,



The following year, improvements to the shape and mechanicals of the F310 gave the team the F310B – the last Ferrari to be designed by John Barnard, who left the team before the beginning of the season.

Powered by a Ferrari Tipo 046/2 75-degree V10, the F310B was also the last of Ferrari’s ‘wide track’ cars, before the 1998 regulations enforced a narrower chassis width and the use of grooved tyres.

pretty impressive to see Alonso finally getting a handle on that car and getting so much more out of it than Ocon. shame he's so old, he could have had a lot of success in F1 if he could have gotten a ride in a competitive car in the last decade

If anything, the raised shark nose would make sense as the F310B.

Default Bottas Does Gravel!

As a track bike rider enjoyable to see drivers enjoy similar cycling activities.

pretty sure that's Lake Dillon and with Buffalo mountain in the background on the left. ... it would have to be since that's the only lake near Breck.






and this looks like the Tenmile range where Breck resort is
