I get the Senna branding, but the car definitely looks 'less' without the proper livery. I've been watching old seasons & it was pretty crazy to see cars being lapped 3 times & everyone up to 2nd getting lapped. At least now the majority usually finishes on the lead lap or at most 1 lap down. Pretty rare that someone gets lapped twice without a mechanical issue or horrendous pit stop. I'm in 1992 right now, and I think it was Spain. Only the Williams pair finished on the lead lap, Schumacher was a lap down in 3rd & I think 6th was 3 laps down. The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

It’s really not until 1994 that we get a real title fight instead of 2 teammates in Prost/Senna trying to kill each other on track. I’ve downloaded a bunch of ESPN broadcasts off Dailymotion, but that only runs up to 1998. What year does F1 TV finally show an entire season instead of 5 or 6 races? | |||

I've got F1TV so I get the whole season, though most of the races are in the form of a 20min recap. Only get 3 or 4 full race replays & a couple 30-40min extended highlight reels in a season. This way does seem to take out some of the 'nothing happened' laps out of the replays. 1970-1980 was in the form of a 1 hr season recap with 1981 being the first year to have a separate 'episode' per race.

That's how I can tell who's been a long time fan. Several races have the entire field qualifying within a second from front to back. When Max ends up 20 seconds ahead after an hour and thirty minutes of racing that's not all that much per lap. I the earlier era's when racing was supposed to be so great, many races had much more spread out finishes. In fact that was routine. Much of the reason no one dominated like they do today is because of unreliable cars. Just to finish 90% of the races was an accomplishment, much less win that many. ___________________________ Avoid buying ChiCom/CCP products whenever possible. | |||

McLaren unveiled their Senna Tribute livery and it’s more a “Brazil Senna” tribute instead of a “McLaren Senna” tribute if that makes sense. | |||

More drama... https://racer.com/2024/05/23/m...tened-to-block-team/
The day also feels wonky because traditionally we'd get FP1 and FP2 at Monaco today with Friday being a break for hobknobbing and sponsor commitments, but now it's a regular weekend. | |||

I got up today planning to watch and saw that change. Any idea why? I think it's a good idea but why now instead of years ago? ___________________________ Avoid buying ChiCom/CCP products whenever possible. | |||

I fired up F1TV & was sad to only find F2/F3/PSC practice. I remember it being mentioned as a cost cutting measure last year or the year before The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

Makes sense I suppose. The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

Decent field mix after practice today. Not the RBR dominance we've seen the past many races. Thought Sauber had some pace in FP1 then dropped like a stone in FP2 [but didn't run the soft]. Couldn't tell if it was the roads at T3 causing the crazy bumpiness or that in combination with the stiff setup on the cars. Perez looked especially bad there. The onboard made it look awful.

I watch it on F1TV and they showed a lot of the super slow mo's of the guardrail to tires. Pretty impressive to see the distance at 100+ MPH is plus/minus the thickness of a piece of paper. https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=3816617608627068 ___________________________ Avoid buying ChiCom/CCP products whenever possible. | |||

Great to see Leclerc break his curse and take victory at his home race. Except for the wrecks on the first laps, the rest was a typical Monaco snooze fest. | |||

Going back to last week’s race on the day of the Monaco GP, but I saw the comments on the announcing team. I was tempted to turn the sound down. There didn’t seem to a second of silence—they talked incessantly. _______________________________________________________ despite them | |||

Well, another race saved by Kevin Magnassen. | |||

All I could focus on during the award ceremony is how LeClerec dropped his nation's flag on the ground and left it there during the entire ceremony. | |||

The Mansell callout at the end as Verstappen closed on Russell gave me a chuckle. I just watched Monaco 92 this week, so it was fresh. The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

I read that this was the first time ever that the top ten in qualifying was the same as the top ten finishers. ___________________________ Avoid buying ChiCom/CCP products whenever possible. | |||
