@DingsLord @Folaranmi_31 The writers and directors apparently didn’t even agree on the time.
First script draft reportedly said 10,000 years, Feige later said it was ~1000 attempts, the director later said 10 years, and the settled time period was “long enough for him to become powerful”.
Testing methodologies are not constant, but the rules are.
See McLarens “mini DRS last year”. When the FIA saw static tests weren’t sufficient, they implemented new tests. McLaren knew they skirted the rules and not only had a replacement ready, but didn’t even protest it.
The rules say that cars must be compliant at all times (whether or not it’s being measured), which if Merc is using this compression ratio trick, explains why teams are pressing.
@PauloC96540230 @JCDenton220 @autosport While constructors standings does pay out money, most (if not all) teams aren’t in desperate need of the money.
In this instance, we know Williams isn’t struggling for cash because JV was trying to spend over the cost cap so they could renovate the facilities.
@BoxBox_Club @KimiAntF1 Only on paper. In the season Lewis achieved it, they still used the old points system (10,8,6,5,4,3,2,1), and they had seven fewer races in 2007 (17 instead of 24).
My math may be off by a few points - converted for the current scoring system, he would’ve had 287 points.
@ZarateVinc83604@Eccentriclivin@allinkid This fixes nothing lol. They’ll just lay down and wait to get tapped, or hand it off to someone else to accomplish the same thing.
@Suzierizzo1 Panera isn’t a mystery. Since JAB got them they immediately plummeted in quality, have gotten worse over time, and have removed some of the best menu items (tortellini Alfredo???).
@Motorsport Likely Max. Both are uniquely more knowledgeable about the rules than most drivers (hence the Vettel pit overtake China 2016, and many of the “Verstappen rules”), but Max is a better driver overall - much closer to Schumi.
@fiadocsbot With Lewis’ post race interview, it makes a lot more sense. I thought Max was in the wrong here originally, but Lewis definitely just conceded the place. On F1TV they were showing how Max had control the whole time and just used the space Lewis gave.
