This. We should be well past the early 2000’s aesthetic of “if we make an EV it must look weird and ugly”.

What Ferrari did here is outdated and awful.

[Sebastian Aaltonen @SebAaltonen]

Yes, news outlets try to spin a story that people hate Ferrari Luce because it is an EV. That's not why people hate it. It looks hideous. No Ferrari cues at all.

There's plenty of great looking performance EVs out there, like the Rimac Nevera R, which also holds 20 records.

Obligatory coffee mug for today.

Congrats to the Forza Horizon 6 team. Looks like another massive hit! Can’t wait to try it.

[Mike Evans @mikeev]

Spent my formative years as an intern in CNN’s tech wing.

Had an amazing experience. Learned so much there, and met many incredible people.

Even once sat in a cube in Ted’s old mansion’s master bedroom, after it had been converted into an office.

RIP Ted, and thanks.

[Mike Evans @mikeev]

Same.

I will not apologize for who I become when this game drops. I've been waiting for a next gen podracer for DECADES

[Mike Evans @mikeev]

@bmcnett Driveclub was pretty, but it was limited to 1080p/30hz. Apples and oranges.

[Mike Evans @mikeev]

@davidperel Congrats coach!!!

[Mike Evans @mikeev]

Same.

Without gaming I have no idea what street I’d be sweeping rn

As a former SRBM engineer this warms my soul. Cc @OliverPank

SLS vs. Saturn V, a real time comparison.

Saw a comparison yesterday using my video on the left at 50% speed. Here's a proper comparison with both rockets launching at their real speeds.

You'll notice SLS is significantly faster off the pad because of the dual massive SRBs!

[Mike Evans @mikeev]

@m_lubieniecki It’s still “braking”, just with the rear axel.

I think the real problem with it is the algorithmic automation of when/where it happens. Full agreement that has to go.

[Mike Evans @mikeev]

Props to the guy/gal at NASA who turned on HDR.

[Mike Evans @mikeev]

When your 3 favorite games simultaneously get massive updates on the same day.

[Mike Evans @mikeev]

@NedjoK @F1_Jordan For example, this stuff (video) is nonsense. Their conversation makes it sound almost as if there's a pre-programmed sequence that has very little intelligence or flexibility baked into it

None of that should be allowed. But I'm curious if this is common

A lot of things are being put under the "deployment issue" umbrella, and it's unsurprising that not everyone understands how complicated the power demand rules are. This isn't an "issue" in the usual sense of the word, but rather oddities in the regulations being exposed by the near 50/50 power split.

Sometimes, the way the driver uses the throttle pedal induces "deployment issues." We already saw what happened when a moment that usually proves inconsequential ruined Leclerc's SQ3 lap in China.

In this case, Hadjar, who is lifting through 130R to manage tyres, is affected by the quirks of the power demand rules.

The MGU-K must give at least 200 kW of electrical power for 1 second when he goes from lifting to beyond 98% throttle. Throttle position >98% is defined as the power-limited pending period.

What accentuates the issues for Isack here, is that from 130R to Casio Triangle - where cars typically harvest when not attacking - instead of recovering energy, it spends an extra couple seconds deploying it. He is left completely exposed on the subsequent straight because it used energy when it was supposed to recover it.

It's easy to fix in this case. Don't lift on the next laps. Where it becomes tricky is when the driver uses the throttle in a way that doesn't necessarily help the "issue" due to their driving habits, or trying to push a little harder at some points.

It's precisely this thats frustrating so many drivers. Because they don't really know they're doing something "wrong." The reason its become such a prominent aspect is because of the need to have 100% optimal deployment all the time, the product of a 50/50 power split.

[Mike Evans @mikeev]

@NedjoK @F1_Jordan I mostly agree here. Automated/programmed deployment/harvesting should be banned. Or at least reduced significantly.

[Mike Evans @mikeev]

@NedjoK @F1_Jordan Can’t fairly compare the very end (peak) of a macro regulation change with the very beginning (floor) of a new one.

Especially when half of the motivation with any new regulation set is to slow the cars down.

[Mike Evans @mikeev]

Disappointed to hear that the DF guys got death threats yesterday.

Let's tone down the crazy in this industry. Please, everybody.

[Mike Evans @mikeev]

@NedjoK @F1_Jordan Again, he’s not in the front.

This happens with new regs. Every time.

[deni @fiagirly]

#F1 | Lewis Hamilton praises the new regulations:

“The cars are easier to follow, much better than past years. You can get very close, there’s not a bad wake where you’re losing too much downforce.”

“I think it’s the best racing that I’ve ever experienced in Formula 1.”

[Mike Evans @mikeev]

@JunaidSamodien_ If you’re lucky enough to attend in person, sprint weekends are the way to go. So much more on track action.

Could be awesome with the new regs.

[Mike Evans @mikeev]

@Antsamp701 @the_zb_ Would especially be much cooler if the "OT" mode resulted in more ICE revs (instead of more battery deployment, which comes at a cost).

Would probably sound neat too.

[Mike Evans @mikeev]

@Antsamp701 @the_zb_ Longer term, IMO the best solution is to bring back the MGU-H. No one should have listened to Audi. And Porsche just recently proved that it *IS* road relevant.

I'd also be perfectly happy with raising the ICE revs. Not wed to the 50/50 split whatosever.
