@MsportXtra I just wish I could take this news seriously on this day......

[Walter van Eijk @walteij]

@SimplyGregster @HillF1 @jefferinc We'll see plenty of issues like in 2001 (crazy crashed due to software errors) but amazing overtakes will be missed

@CurveTorque @HillF1 Super-clipping is anything but super.
Its sucking-and-clipping.....

[Walter van Eijk @walteij]

@HillF1 Sounds crap, topspeed drops on straights (come on guys, seriously), issues with grip when using active aero on some straights. This sucks monkeyballs.
I can't wait to hear the screaming engines overrevving tomorrow morning before the start (ow wait, I can).

@tris_vibes @PhRoose Als er geen werk is in de sector waarvoor je gestudeerd hebt, heb je dan niet 'gewoon' de verkeerde studie gekozen?
Ik lees dat ze gamedesigner is (of in ieder geval daarvoor heeft gestudeerd). Ik lees al 10 jaar dat de ene na de andere gamestudio in NL gesloten wordt.

#F1 Should the fia increase the number of sprintraces in a season to 12 ? Like = YES, Repost = NO. #MsportXtra

@wilspin @AllaiteS @wearetherace @XPBImages Awesome argument! Really well put to words. Always love a decent X discussion.

[Walter van Eijk @walteij]

@wilspin @AllaiteS @wearetherace @XPBImages Only for the top 8 drivers, and if you're in the points it's not worth the risk to crash in order to gain 1 extra point and try to overtake someone. Sprint races are boring a.f., too much to lose, to little to gain, no pitstops, no risks, hardly any rewards.

@V3rstapp3n_Max @sainznificant Eyes wide open, when engineers are working on the back of the car....

@POL_DenHaag Ik hoop zo dat dit gaat om een stiekem online spelletje "Wie is het" tegen een ander politiekorps. Met dit soort vragen in de moderne Haagse editie ga je het niet winnen ben ik bang.

[Walter van Eijk @walteij]

@Blindfolded_one @GazzettaFerrari Hamilton was convinced by Ross Brawn to sign at Mercedes, the engine was dominant, the engineers were good, Lauda was his counterpart. Lauda is gone and Mercedes' dominance is a far cry from what it used to be. Al of it was set in stone when Toto became a part of Mercedes F1.

[Walter van Eijk @walteij]

@Blindfolded_one @GazzettaFerrari Wolff entered Mercedes when it was in the upward spiral. And they were utterly dominant between 2014 and 2020. Yes, a lot of that is because of Toto's management, but, almost as much was the engine and the he landed on a silver platter when he entered Mercedes. 1/2

[Walter van Eijk @walteij]

@Blindfolded_one @GazzettaFerrari Because of an engine that was already developed for 98% in the previous years. The Mercedes engine was far more powerful then any other engine, ask Grosjean about “strat seven, have a go at Vettel”.
Toto is a very good teamboss, but he did not orchestrate v6 hybrid rules.

[Walter van Eijk @walteij]

@Blindfolded_one @GazzettaFerrari Except that Toto was not working for Mercedes in 2011, when the Hybrid Era engines rules were determined, he was team principle at Williams at that moment, and there were no signs that he would become Mercedes Team Principle in 2014. He did not orchestrate the hybrid era....

[Walter van Eijk @walteij]

@visacashapprb Not really, it was a necessary rule adjustment in order to make overtaking possible.

@Likhi_Eth @cytrusf1 We still have a Canadian on the grid who has the capacity to do it.
