Are we checking? This is a place to take a p*ss out of motorsports.

F1 is not the only motorsport in the world, so go ahead and post your shitposts about WEC or MotoGP or IndyCar or ralley or Polish Speedway or whatever. Even Formula E, I guess. It needs some love, too.

By the way, F2 > F1.

Rules? What rules? Stop inventing. Just don't be a douche. Lemmy.world's sporting conduct applies.

Why do they always mess up Checo's pitstops and not Max's, so weird.

Well I know they did mess Max's once and he threw a fit like he does, so maybe that's why.

Usually Checo has the faster pit stops.

I saw an analysis of this. Checo tends to stop exactly to the millimetre at the right spot so the mechanics don't need to manoeuvre any more. With Max it tends to be a centi this way or that way and that makes a difference when the mechanics need to readjust hand position and such.

But if there's a blunder or a strategy error, Checo is the one to get them.

It's not a conspiracy or anything. Just weird. Same thing was with Hamilton and Bottas.
