Think she made the right choice; can't see her ever making it into F1, but she's definitely capable of having a decent career in sportscars/touring cars. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber nudge+ 15,325 Posted March 25, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted March 25, 2021 This is weekend is MASSIVE in terms of motorsports! Season start for Formula 1, Formula 2, MotoGP and VLN, second race of the season in 24H Series (12h in Mugello).

Subscriber nudge+ 15,325 Posted March 27, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted March 27, 2021 Valentino Rossi at 42 years old still can compete at the highest level... P4 in quali, just a fraction behind Quartaro and Viñales. Bagnaia takes the pole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moving from the Factory Yamaha team is probably the best thing that could happen to him to be honest, no pressure just him going out there on raw talent and having fun. I think too much expectation (probably quite rightly) was put on Vale when it was clear that he was past his peak, but still had so much more to give. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted, this is about running out of energy that they are allowed to use, not running out of energy completely. Apparently the starting battery capacity is 52kWh, but for every minute spent behind safety car, the amount of energy each driver may use is reduced by 1kWh - and there were 5 safety car phases in the race, meaning that 19kWh were cut from the allowed amount of energy for each car. So definitely a miscalculation by the race control, but either way, they just keep on making a mockery out of themselves.. A complete farce. They even put a chicane in the middle of the straight to give the cars an additional heavy braking zone as a recharge opportunity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brakes and steering is like 90% reduced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
