Anyone out there knows some formula for the tires? Just curious. 


I’ve made some rubber and when I grind it it creates the marble balls found the race tracks. It messes the gluing and the first couple climbs are  really slippery until it clans off the soles.

The season has finally started and there is plenty to talk about both on and off the track, yet the thread is asleep at the wheel.

-RB dominant again and the team to beat, with or without Horny Horner

-Lewis to Ferrari, a bit of a shocker but it will definitely shake things up. Interesting to see the driver changes for next year.

-Hoping to see McLaren continue to improve on last year and truly join the fight for the podium.

Yeah, weird beginning to the season!

The Horner thing is such a distraction. Strange how Red Bull is so high and so low at the same time. 

I REALLY hope someone gives Red Bull a fight at some point.

I was gratified to see The Smooth Operator on the podium, and not Leclerc nor Hamilton. May that trend continue. I'd like to see Alonzo get back in the mix too. Unless Perez delivers this season, maybe Sainz finds his new seat at Red Bull.

Optimism! Consider that Max laid down the fastest lap of the race 1.4s faster than anyone else when under no pressure and with a nearly half full tank the others need some amazing updates to catch up. Perez came effortlessly up to play wingman so it's not just Verstappen, the car is clearly streets ahead.

Nice to see a Sainz win.

So nice!!!  That was a fun race... kudos to Tsunoda and Haas. Good to see things getting shaken up.

Bump for Lando getting his first F1 win.

best race of the year? not just b/c of Lando winning... but because the winner wasn't clear til the end!!

After a couple of boring seasons, the second half of this year should be interesting. If McLaren can stop making mistakes a la Ferrari, they can give RB a run for their money.

Yeah, I hope Lando can keep taking points and close the gap to Max. McLaren had a great opportunity there to get maximum points and kinda screwed Oscar out of some deserved joy, though. Not going to go down as a brilliant race for them. But Max's complete meltdown was delicious, lol.

Way to go! Merc 1-2 and two Brits and a colonial top three (again). The US boy last again (sorry

Looking forward to the race tomorrow. RB going backwards and McLaren continuing to show that they are here to stay.

From my observations over 50 + years is this: you take that F1 ride, in a garbage car, you had better make it mid pack or you will be gone.
Logan didn’t have a chance.

Or you had better bring the sponsors. And maybe your dad shouldn’t blackmail his billionaire brother cutting off the gravy train…

He had 39 chances to show he was either an amazing talent or a slow, steady learner. He was neither and a team trying to improve their car can get understandably pissed at spending months on updates to watch them turn into carbon fibre scrap before they have obtained any data at all. The only worse-ranked driver of the 23 season was Nyck de Vries and that's because he was dropped mid-season.

I looked and Logan ranked as 9th from the ten worst drivers who were sacked mid season. One point in 39 races (only because two drivers were disqualified) and the worst qualification performance against their team mate.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
