I don't think WEC drivers intend to cause incidents or leave track limits either, it's a result of driving hard and if you go over those limits, then you get a penalty. This isn't about intent, this is about the pathetic slap on the wrist for bad driving.
Where have Sky popped their microphones? Haha
It's uh the injury from simracing... haha how bizarre
Yeah if we want power at all there's a heavy carbon cost to it regardless where it comes from. Nuclear from what I understand is more compatible with our preexisting electricity networks because like coal it has big chunks of metal spinning to store energy giving the ability to react incredibly fast to changes in the network. Battery banks may be able to do this quick response, but the longevity of rare earth mineral based solutions although fancy has me concerned. Very little can degrade with a massive flywheel and the losses from nuclear to get it up and spinning would be far lower than say spinning it with motors as an energy store.
Long term I agree though, the complexities around nuclear don't paint it as our saviour. Maybe for now, and probably the next hundred years, leaning into nuclear is at least harm reduction
What a throwback, I remember playing mdk2 when I was young and being utterly confused where to go and giving up shortly after
Absolutely amazing drive by Lando there, it's nice to see the upgrades bringing him back somewhat into the fray. Hopefully that continues through the season
With modern tech and low latency video solutions and transmission of telemetry, how do we not have auto VSC procedures when an incident happens at key locations that are deemed high risk?
I haven't watched the footage but I saw a comment about drivers not lifting for seconds before the contact after the initial spin. Surely this is something that's fixable

I'm not debating that if it was on purpose it should be more severe, this is about how pathetic F1 penalties are. Don't straw man my argument.
In this incident we had Stroll fully off the track on the outside after braking too late. He then decided to not break while off-track, re-entered the track unsafely, and careered into Gasly on unsafe re-entry. All of that resulted in a meager 5 second penalty.
