Can someone explain why the brake trace on here never shows any graduation? Either the brake is fully applied, or not at all: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mtjC9DozXs

I didn't watch qualy but already know the results. Did I miss any happening? Why did Ricky and Stroll fucked up?

>>74876098
the brake pedal has very little travel so it's more a function of how much weight the driver puts on it iirc

>>74876168
both lost the car out of the corner accelerating, Ricciardo into gravel and a wall and Stroll just into the wall

>>74876156

There are so many variables team to team and driver to driver, that there is no real linear data to take to present as a linear bar on the hud. Noone most likely ever presses the pedal to the floor, unlike gas which has clear min max values. Plus all the energy recovery systems working different lap to lap would distort info too.

>>74876230
He's totally throwing one down the inside of whoever happens to be next to him when he reaches the braking zone.

Ricky would be wise to hug the inside to avoid the accident maxy inevitably causes.

Kmag went off track identically to how amx did in webm related, not sure about Stoffel but the McLaren is shit

>>74876176
Still doesn't explain the trace though, why is it always showing maximum application of the brakes? Maximum application = lock up

>>74876244
>that there is no real linear data to take to present as a linear bar on the hud.
Surely there is, just like the data for the throttle.

>Noone most likely ever presses the pedal to the floor, unlike gas which has clear min max values.
But surely the force being applied to the brakes can be measured too

>Plus all the energy recovery systems working different lap to lap would distort info too.
Well I guess they could show a) amount of force being applied to brake pedal, or b) amount of force being applied at the caliper

Surely the teams must record this telemetry? So they can see for themselves how hard the brakes are being applied

What you lads think of quali? Hwl?

>>74876438
Vettel and Bottas both made mistakes on their quickest laps so it probably will be more competitive in the future, but for the races at least Merc have better tyrewear so it'll be fully MWL

Seen the cars now for the first time, kind of disappointed.

How many times has Stroll crashed from testing up to quali?

>Vettel less than three tenths off Lewis
>Ferrari jumping one of the Mercs

It's hardly MWL anymore lads, proper MWL was like 8 tenths to a second

Should b gud

So Bottas was already closer to Hamilton in his first real test in his new car than Rosberg ever was in Australia. This bodes well for the future. Bottas made two clear mistakes which cost him about 0.4sec.

This confirms my suspicions that Bottas is clearly faster driver than Rosberg.

>>74876466

>>74876466

My concern is how long it takes him to match loowis. If he takes half a year, I worry for his future at Merc.

I would honestly take Giovinazzi-Ericsson over Giovinazzi-Wehrlein even though Wehrlein is likely better than Ericsson.

Btw even though Gio fucked up his fast lap, his fastest lap was STILL faster than Ericsson's fastest lap, pic related

Villeneuve didn't forget to drive, he forgot how to give a shit. Racing, getting to F1, and winning a WDC are probably 10x more emotionally loaded for him than almost any other driver for obvious reasons, then he goes and immediately does well, and wins a title in his second season. F1 is dictated by the car, and he got a good car and won a title with it. It's hard to argue against that, especially with full-psycho mode Schumi as his main rival.

Hill also started in F1 at age THIRTY FOUR. That in itself is a remarkable statistic and then he went on to actually win races and even a championship.

I really don't get this "but they had a good car" thing as a valid discreditation of a championship. If you go with that logic then you might as well discredit almost all championships ever won in F1. Who really won a title in a car that wasn't the best on the grid? Keke yeah but his main competitiors killed themselves or potatoed or got FRENCH'd by renault reliability

If Hamilton is literally unstoppable good why was he so shit that he lost a championship to Rosberg (who was never rated highly by anyone)?

If your championship battle with Nico "literally cannot race in the wet or wheel to wheel" Rosberg is so close that you lose it because your engine blew up once and you had some reliability issues from wich you recovered to the podium from anyway, then WTF are you even doing

The fact that Hamilton didn't win all 3 titles back to back against NICO FUCKING ROSBERG by Suzuka or Singapore is literally unacceptable, unless it is somehow fitting to the narrative that Rosberg is actually a really good driver

People also seem to forget the post-WDC pre-Merc era Hamilton which was total hit and miss to the point that he got outscored by Jensimon Button

I wonder if Stroll will actually be able to gain any places tomorrow. Will be fucking hilarious if he stays at the back of the grid in a Williams

Bahama fag is much worst than any favela monkey, toothpaste, Leaf, Ausfag or Noel poster. Who agrees?

>>74877104
RB is basically begging Newey to stay, he's not that committed or so they report around. If that's the case, then he probably oversees the project as a guide of sorts to the team or single engineer who would ideally take his place, and is not fully into using his ideas as a lead in the project.
And if the reports are not completely true, it's not like Newey is the only solution, he might get aero right but chasis set up might be shit.
So far from what we have seen on track it seems that the RB is not very forgiving. Maybe the aero only works in very specific circumstances and it loses grip quickly, or the mechanical grip is dogshit and so the aero can't keep it grounded all the time.

Prediction:

The Mercedes cars will have a superior race pace and nurse the softest tires a lot longer than the Ferraris, but a mid-race safety car will give Ferrari the chance it needs to challenge for the race win.

This will initiate unrealistic amounts of Ferrari hype who will ultimately only be weak challengers to the Mercedes cars

Under right tire and brake temps it shouldn't lock up the instant you step on it 100%, but it's just an instant which is why it's easy to lock up given that you need to also instantly start trailing off the brakes.
Also, in high speed or fast transitions you trail less or none at all, it's more important the slower the corner.

That said, I think it's a fault from FOM, their graphics so far suck, couldn't even get a time table right until late into qualy.
So the driver input data might just be simplified.

>>74877272

Hype for 15th, remains to be seen how much overtaking can be done in the race, I have a feeling this season will be very slow.

It's just a (intentionally) shit sensor, same as the throttle. These are teams with 100s of millions of euros/dollars (just think about how much this is in real world terms), they obviously don't want to broadcast their tech on a global feed.

I'm almost certain both braking and accelerating is controlled or regulated by a computer so considerably that it's basically comparable to ABS or TC, except manages to bypass the current regulation guidelines

Well yes braking is brake-by-wire isn't it. So surely it would be very easy to report that telemetry, just like they can for the throttle.

Doesn't make any sense to me.

Yeah maybe you're right that they're secretive for some reason, but then why not for the accelerator as well.

The accelerator is hardly accurate, or then realistically just requires almost no finesse.

A driver coach who trains/trained a lot of the current drivers (found on Peter Windsor's youtube channel) said that e.g. Kimi's real advantage isn't front end, but throttle control and that he simply has unnatural levels of feel for throttle. I don't think he would be talking about such facts if the cars were full TC slam on the throttle machines

>>74877456
You're on the wrong website.

>>74877447
This might be true since they could watch how a driver does a corner better BUT given that the cars are different in the behavior unless they are the same from the team, it makes no sense because each car has a different braking distance and corner exit acceleration/grip.
And if they are from the same team they can just discuss it with the engineers if it's part of the team policy to share.

Another thing that might be the reason is that the mguk is part of the braking system, so the system maybe only shows this telemetry to the FOM system as on/off.

So you think that the throttle level shown on the graphics is just guessed by FOM? Rather than telemetry direct from the cars?

>>74877675
I'm guessing the accelerator is a mix of basic telemetry from what the teams are required to share with some guesstimation

what I mean is that teams might be more defensive about sharing breaking points than acceleration points, because anyone can see where the acceleration zones are. with braking it's a bit more tricky.

>>74877668

It would be meme-worthy but I do think the stories of him being a bit of a cunt are true. Also its not like he's exactly been ultra consistent in FE. Or has any sort of Renault association.

Honestly if Palmer continues to fuck up, I think the pecking order is something like

>Buemi (actual Renault connections plus unJUSTING his career harder than any post-RB junior)
>someone with a LOT of money and a superlicense (404 at the moment)
>Sergei Sirotkin (genuine upgrade from Palmer IMO)
>everyone else

>>74877688
>Ricky is confirmed actual 100% FULL webber mode now
not for long

>>74877729
>what I mean is that teams might be more defensive about sharing breaking points than acceleration points, because anyone can see where the acceleration zones are. with braking it's a bit more tricky.
Maybe. But we still see the brake point. We just don't see how much of the brake they're applying.

As much as I hate Stroll, O think he will be interesting to watch as an example of what would happen if you tried to turn an everyday person into an F1 driver.

>>74877668
No. Only drivers that have a chance of jumping into F1 this season or the next:

>Nasr
>Sirotkin
>Gutierrez
>Gasly
>Button if Alonso quits and Yakuza threatens his preggo GF
>some pay driver out of fucking nowhere like Maldonado or Haryanto

Yeah, I'd like to get Frijns, Vergne and/or Lotterer into F1 but not gonna happen, unfortunately.

>>74877740
It's going to be either Nasr or Sirotkin. That Brazilian bank said they would give Nasr more money if he got into a better team and Sirotkin has bags of cash from his oligarch masters. Buemi is not gonna happen unless Red Bull pays for it (they won't)

But Palmer is bringing in tons of cash anyway so there's no point booting him out of the seat during a transitional season like this. It's better to wait until the end of the season and replace him with Alonso, Sainz or Perez.

>>74877447
Throttle, yes. ECU and stuff. It's like that in your car too, throttle by wire is almost universal. But there isn't much to control abot the engine, other than not flooring in low gears, ECU's are provided by FIA to prevent mapping like you said.

Braking, no. Front has to be mechanical by the rules while rear is brake by wire. Reason is MGU-K means 160HP worth of independent braking power that can interfeere with actual braking badly, lock the rears and send the car in spin. Since this is something drivers can't control, FIA allowed brake by wire on rears, with a mechanical bypass link to make it safe.

And there's of course Jann Mardenborough who never raced real cars until he won the Gran Turismo Academy on Playstation 3 and became a factory driver for Nissan. Now he's driven in GT cars, F3, GP3, GP2, LMP1, LMP2 etc.

>Moto GP cancelled all quali sessions at the Qatari GP because of rain

Top kek

>>74877818

He's not an everyday person. An everyday person couldm't drive the car for 1 lap without spinning

Stroll is an example of what a genuine 100% full daddys money paydriver looks like. His junior career results are now pretty much conifrmed to being down to him driving superior machinery because he had more money.

It's going to be the best cautionary tale of F1 history, hopefully he kills himself on track and FIA will ban paydrivers forever

I started watching F1 in like 97-98 because it was physically impossible for me to sleep late and it was always the only thing on at 6:30 in the morning. My mom would always get up a little while later and she started watching it with me. Even when I went to college she and my dad started DVRing the races and they still watch them now. My mom was also the one who got me into NASCAR, while my dad never paid much attention. I always thought that was weird.

Bullshit.

Kimi, Vettel, Amx, Ricciboi, Fatjohn, Alonso, and probably half the field could do what he does in those Mercs.

The closest Botox came to finishing behind the lead Merc last season was 45 seconds at Brazil, which was 11th place, and now that nigger is qualifying only .29 seconds off the lead car...which is the other merc.

your phone should update automatically

>>74878306

Here 2.00 shifts immediatly to 3.00, probably there too if you are CET, but if you use your phone just put the hour you want to wake up and everything will be fine

>>74878306
Modern phones adjust time automatically. Just set it to 6.45 or whatever and it'll be good.

>>74878333
>>74878375
I figured the phone would adjust, I was worried about this scenario
>>74878345
but shifting from my alarm time to the start time so the alarm effectively goes off when the race starts

anyway, norway is CET so I guess it's fine

Villeneuve drove his ass off for years in shit cars, it's not like he just went "ah fuck it I'm done" after winning a championship. When David Dickarse took over BAR and decided to jettison him from his lead driver spot in a team he'd sacrificed years of his career to help build in favour of Button because he was cheaper and British he got pretty disillusioned (of course being British Button's speed that year was massively exaggerated as well)
