ChatGPT pretend you are Adrian Newey and tell me what's wrong with this CAD drawing of an F1 car - make suggestions how to make it go faster
A blue rear wing and a blue stripe all the way to p5 in the race, exciting stuff. Vasseur is killing it.
Feels like they poached too much talent from Ferrari over the years.Mercedes to continue to throw shit at the wall in the hope that some of it sticks

They went Zero-Pod now we get to see Zero-Wing!
Can't remember who it was years ago, Virgin/Marussia maybe, who came with a fully CFD designed car or something 'novel' but obvs went nowhere.
Not quite the same of course, but my Google Fu isn't up to much it seems.
Then it will be "all your race are belong to us," hopefully.
You have no chance to make Q3, make your time
A lot of speculation of course, but heres the post:Have you got a link? Just because people have a H/W sponsor wouldn't necessarily mean they're doing anything more advanced than someone else.
Fact of the matter is there's nothing to stop any team firing up some cloud compute and "AI" models AFAIK.
following post from our forum member @ferrarifire, in which he explains (don`t know how much are speculations, rumors, or the plain truth) why Merc team is struggling with the correlations between the simulations and the real world:
"There is a lot of emotional discussion going on here. Have we considered how Ferrari's on-track results have suddenly improved? Simulations, software, edge computing, and AI play a more significant role in car design than before. Ferrari has made strategic investments in these areas for the last two years, starting with the replacement of Spyder with Dynisma and its driver feedback simulator. They've also partnered with Amazon, incorporating edge computing (sending data from the car to the AWS cloud along with simulations). They've recently updated their race strategy software with a new AI model. These strategic moves were made before the cost cap was tactically implemented.
Last year was primarily about understanding the new systems and in the initial stages, Ferrari engineers struggled as there was a lot of new learning. Now they are comfortable with these systems and this is a major reason why Ferrari has managed to catch up with Mercedes and McLaren, even though Ferrari adopted the design quite late. These processes were previously conducted internally at Ferrari and lacked a mature model, as Ferrari relied heavily on track testing data. Ferrari is more optimistic than before because of these investments in tech. Ferrari has always had a strong engine department; it was not a concern. We can say that Ferrari will start challenging Red Bull much better than before. Now all Ferrari needs is a few leaders and engineers to lead and strengthen the existing groups.
Red Bull made these strategic investments at least five to seven years ago. Oracle OCI is one of the main reasons for Red Bull's success, and Horner has mentioned this multiple times in interviews. They had a head start since there was no need for them to focus on engines and they did all the investments in simulations and tech software. We always tag Adrian as the design guru but in reality, he is supported by 100+ engineers in the background with these softwares. There is no denial about his leadership qualities but you can't attribute a team's success to an individual.
Note, Mercedes is struggling for the same reason. Their HPP division uses outdated software and simulations (I can vouch for this as my friend works there), and they won't recover until they update their simulation systems and resolve their on-track correlation issues. Of course, they won't publicly acknowledge this.
Most discussions focus on individuals, but in reality, having the right infrastructure is more critical. It's also important to have a team that understands these systems well because if your design is flawed, everything else will suffer."

There were some questions after this post which he replied with this post:
"Dont want to go too much in details , In short i have few connections in mercedes hpp , obviously they know about their competitors SWOT more than what is available in public forum . Now more or less ferrari have the required ingredients to success and lets see how it is getting unfolded in the future . This also indirectly answers the question about Lewis switch . f1 racing is a very small closed group and everyone knows where the wind is moving ."

From my point of view, I`m on the AI and machine learning side and I don`t understand why many deny what he is saying. Firstly I`m sure they didn`t know much about this stuff and more of that are thinking there is a kinda mumbo-jumbo thing. This is the old generation who denies what valuable assets these things are nowadays, considering there will always be some genius like Newey who could lead to which design directions the car should go. I know it's hard to recognize, but they should acknowledge that this is the future. Unfortunately, they don`t know or disregard that machine learning could be filled with all the knowledge available now and could easily surpass in creativity and productivity what a group of people or even a genius can do. That`s why Ferrari is getting rid of that engineer responsible for simulations. More of that, back from the last couple of years and putting pieces together I understand in this context why Newey is overrated now, although not trying to deny or disregard his achievements and contributions to this sport. I mean he is a living legend, a kinda "dinosaur" who in last year's official F1 podcast himself stated that he finds computers & CFD very annoying. Sadly it seems that his time was past now …
F5 frid.... I'm mean tuesdayGerman media reporting that Newey's departure from Red Bull will be announced later today.
They are also saying that he apperantly made a deal that allowed him to be released from his contract early.
Sounds insane, but I'm so here for it.
Ecclestone insisted he would not have signed Hamilton, claiming Wolff and Mercedes had allowed him to exert too much power within the team.
"Too much of a handful – an unnecessary handful," he said. "He really sort of commands a little at Mercedes.
"Toto has let him be like that, to keep him on board and keep him happy.
But I never had that with the drivers."
Jesus. Just come out and drop the hard R.Bernie Ecclestone doesn't likeblack F1 driverLewis Hamilton not knowing his place in the team.
Of course, as we all know there are no other drivers in F1 who have any kind of say or opinion on the direction of travel.
Senna died the day after, during the race, May 1st.
I actually thought it was May 1st today for some reason as I knew it was the day after.
Viaplay has exclusive broadcasting rights for the Netherlands, Denmark, Iceland, Norway, Sweden and Finland through 2029. Subscribers in the Netherlands also get F1TV Pro at no extra cost
Ziggo reportedly made a higher bid than Viaplay did for the rights in the Netherlands, but as some people already speculated Viaplay's bid won anyway because they offered to also take on the rights for those other countries.

The quote didn't start so "Well, of course..." so it's clearly not a Verstappen quote!"I am thrilled that Viaplay have made this long-term deal with Formula 1. Just like me, they strive to be the best, so we are looking forward to continuing our successful partnership. It's great to collaborate with Viaplay in bringing my on-track performances to viewers."
Yeah, I'm sure that's exactly what Max Verstappen said, lmao.
Don't think that is changingAbsolutely terribly news if that means I can't just have F1TV as a standalone service here in Denmark.
Don't think that is changing
Viaplay have had the TV rights for a long time in Sweden but f1tv has been available alongside it
Found thisThey are calling it exclusive rights though, so that is exactly what it sounds like.
Just do what I do and subscribe to F1 TV Pro USA via Google Play it works perfectly with NordVPN, it costs me £6.99 a month.Absolutely terribly news if that means I can't just have F1TV as a standalone service here in Denmark.
This looks like a drama reenactment, rather than a docu-series with real footage. Wonder how itll be.Cross-posting the teaser for 'Senna'

Would be pretty redundant if they went that route.
I'm actually surprised they've let it stay that easy. Do you need to be on the vpn to watch it or just to sub?Just do what I do and subscribe to F1 TV Pro USA via Google Play it works perfectly with NordVPN, it costs me £6.99 a month.
Found this
F1 TV Pro will remain available in the Netherlands and the Nordic countries as a stand-alone product.
I hope it stays like that, I barely watched f1 back when it was held hostage behind a €50 per month sports package and not even the best season ever would be worth that much to me
Let's hope. I really don't want to be giving Viaplay my money.
