I guess the Alonso crash would have probably red flagged it anyway, but damnit.

Man, that RB suspension is just so much more compliant than everyone else (though Ferrari is close). It’s awesome.

Damn, Gasly got boned.

There is a ton of track evo going on.

Yeah, an OR plus a 2.5” damper setup from KING/Fox/ICON/Radflo/OME/Toytec will be just as good or better.

Never seen a quick heave spring change like they did on Lewis’ car there. That was cool.

They definitely still have Monaco-specific parts, though I am wondering if they still will with the budget cap. At minimum there will still be a Monaco-specific steering rack. The POU suspension geometry that is now not allowed made for some cool stuff in recent years, too. This is cool

Came here to post this. Hell yeah.

Btw, @G650, seems we were right on the “testing stuff out” theory. https://web.archive.org/web/20220520084512/https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/formula-one/ross-brawn-lewis-hamilton-formula-1-b1000464.html

Albert’s little tech videos with Rosanna are great.

I do lean somewhat towards utee’s opinion, however, getting rid of the formula and making it Formula 0 would just lead to even less parity, because one team would likely just dominate even more. You do still need guardrails.

Both new Canon RF APS C models have animal eye AF, which is pretty great.

To be fair, the cap was originally supposed to be $175m, but then they went down because of covid to the $140m. A further 20% decrease is quite a bit, especially now with material costs etc. I know it was agreed to, but I’m just saying I can understand why this is happening given the current circumstances. I guess in the end it didn’t even matter since the top teams are still at the top. Haas did improve, but that kinda seems to be the only “big” change.

Yeah it’s kinda weird. If you were to implement an actual salary cap in baseball, you wouldn’t set it at what the A’s or Orioles spend. However, that is essentially what F1 did, since the current cap is basically what Williams/Alfa had been spending in 2019/2020, and even that money is now worth a lot less while the regulations nearly completely changed.

Decidedly uncool. https://www.instagram.com/tv/Cd5_dDUj0S4/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

They want to remove it starting next year. Also, on the podium where it had the outline of the circuit, they didn’t have the chicane in it, haha. But yeah, they are definitely trying to get it removed.

I have flown with gear using SWA twice (since the bags are free). Both times were DAL -> LAS. First time was fine, second time one of my bags did not make the trip. I would not have have been able to wait around for it, and they couldn’t really ship it, since I would be in the middle of nowhere and changing locations, so SWA bought me a bunch of new gear and gave me a big voucher for my trouble. I picked up my lost bag when I got back, and ended up with about $900 in free stuff. So, it was a pain but they did take care of me.

Excellent. i need to go shoot some more of mine.

Gotdam, Scotty!

Jimmie with a massive moment on his first turn and a great save. Screwed his run, though.

Dixon with a monster run already. Grojean with a moment but still a decent run, ahead of Power and Sato.

Lando apparently has tonsillitis. Damn.

Fast 12 starting now.

I was going to recommend MPB or KEH as well. MPB does tend to have better prices, and both give warranties. KEH will get your order to you super quick, though. Use NORTHRUP-1 for 5% off as well. I am in the still-rocking-a-DSLR club. I’ll switch to one of the Canon R models eventually, but my 5DIV is still awesome, and my kit for it is good. I had one of those cheap Chinese L bracket knockoffs, but it developed play when tightened all the way. Bought a RRS in EX condition from KEH for like $80 (those things retail for like $200+ which is insane), and damn it is a nice piece. I hadn’t realized that it clamps onto the camera lug on the side for an additional mounting point. Anyway, I’m just trying to say that I’m still investing in my DSLR because it still makes awesome images. The mirrorless stuff has made incredible strides in AF and is now way better than DSLRs there, but the IQ is still going to be about the same on your keepers, so it just depends what you are looking for.
