What's this about no side pods. I had to come back for this.

Sidepod looking like Darth Vader's helmet.
Interesting to see they can cool it and no plenum bump as well.

 

[Bantz Lord T]

Well at least he’ll be back in time to race

 

[Sinner]

We hope that's the case. But that will also mean zero time in the car.

 

[jewelknows]

Barely anytime in the car. Does McLaren have a backup driver?

 

[Sinner]

No one officially... but since they have a relationship with Merc, they could bring in one of theirs, like Vandoorne.

I know it's just a glory run, but Magnussen's lap today was faster than Mazepin's qualifying time from the GP last year

Watched the last episode of DTS first to get to the drama, hilarious how it starts with Guenther and him swearing.

Happy Birthday Ferrari

Don't think anyone expected him to pull a Kimi

He's already getting up there, wouldn't surprise me if this was his final season if he wins another championship. Would be surprised if he's racing passed 2023

I'm glad that the pink livery won't be on track for too long, the blue is so slick

 

[zeroregret]

I agree. I think Alpine has the best looking livery this season.

 

[kobeoverbron]

On track I like the AT, that white and navy is nice.

Also blows my mind how Merc and Ferrari are going opposite ways with body width. Time will tell

 

[Sinner]

Of course, there's no right or wrong answer. Some packages will just work better than others... and we're talking tenths of a sec per lap here. But this is what F1 wanted to see... different interpretations of the rules.

Definitely love to see it, I hope they fix Gasly's head bouncing around that looks like it hurts.

3 races in the US???

 

[rolaholic]

Body is ready for race week

I guess DTS is helping with exposure. Seems like there are more and more US fans now.

 

[fluid hips]

Popularity of DTS. It was inevitable

I was talking to this girl back in 2020 during COVID who I would've never expected to be an F1 fan talk about how she liked DTS

DTS really made me dislike George Russell.

He comes off as an entitled jerk. I have a feeling that he thinks he's Nico Rosberg and has a real chance to outperform Sir Lewis.
