Thank you. CoreWeave sounds expensive as it uses significant computing power. I hope it is accurate enough and pays dividends in the future.
What interested me most about the video was the explanation of the problems teams encounter when interpreting wind tunnel data. It's something I've been interested in for a long time: the real-life effect of using scale models and the fact that wind can't be scaled in the same proportion; the difficulty of accurately interpreting both issues.

I spent weeks (maybe months) studying the latest developments in modern wind tunnels. I was very surprised to see that the base was the one that shifted to emulate speed, for example. But if what CoreWeave offers in theory is rigorously true, it could be a game-changer.

That AM has acknowledged the collaboration with them, considering them main partners, and that Newey seems to support their inclusion, seems very important to me.

I also keep in mind that Palantir even ran its ads on Ferrari for the past two seasons. And the fact that they supposedly continue to collaborate also caught my attention. Although I admit that in part this matter was more related to my investments than to F1.

In any case, I think this AI thing is here to stay and we'll have to adapt. Even F1 teams, or rather: especially F1 teams.

We'll see if the car improves with the help of CoreWeave; we need it.

Ive been confused by the Lance discourse. For instance, if it turns out that he did punch a wall or something then what does it change? He didnt hurt anyone except himself by missing a race and requiring surgery. Why are people talking about it like its a homicide investigation which requires getting to the bottom of?
Well you could argue that he hurt his team by not having a 2nd car in the race. Aside from that. Much Ado about nothing!
Not really. Benson wrote an article about it for the BBC claiming that equipment was broken during Lance's temper tantrum and team members were sworn that.

That's the kind of toxic media BS that the sport (and the world really) doesn't actually need. He cites an anonymous source.

Even if it is true, doesn't compare to throwing your car at another car.

Just kick him out and wasting his Dad's hard earned money. Bring Pereze or Vettel to the team.

autoracer saying imola package has gained aston martin around 3tenths of performance

"We are going a little bit better in qualifying than in the race," confirmed Fernando Alonso, going on to specify what problems need to be improved in order to hope to make another leap forward. In fact, the AMR25's performance in the last few races has allowed it to fight for the top 10 and this is already significant progress compared to the start of the season. In the race, however, there are still many problems to deal with. "On the straight we are not fast and I have to invent overtaking in corners. At Imola it was turn 7, at Barcelona turn 3. We have to improve to overtake with the DRS like everyone else does," said the two-time world champion. The bottom of the 'verdona' still doesn't produce enough load and stability and this forces the engineers not to be able to dare much with the wing choices, paying for a bit of drag on the straights, as well as evidently not having the basic efficiency of this design. Another limitation is that of tyre management. "In qualifying the problems are hidden by the new tyres, this doesn't happen in the race. With the used tyres the defects of the cars come out and that is the reason why in qualifying the gaps are smaller, while in the race the teams in front run away,' explained Mike Krack.

Still surprised nobody is talking about how bad the balance was for most of the race. How could you have good tire wear when you're 15 points shy of front wing DF? Think this is all bs.

Krack explained their „extreme“ wing setup, that they feared the rear tyres would be gone after some laps on the soft, so they decided to protect them with this setup on the start. But it killed their left front.

Unfortunately they can only react to their bad tyre wear, unless a real solution is on the table.

Most of the time, the solution for excessive tire wear is DF. The rear wing setup is proof that DF is the solution for AMR25 as well but it didn't kill the front left, the lack of front wing/DF did. Hopefully they've learned something from this. We'll find out in Silverstone.

Montreal isn't a tire wear monster.

Montreal and Zeltweg are hard on kerbs, especially Montreal with the chicanes. C6 there too. I don’t expect much the next 2 races.

The real test will be Silverstone (if the next and probably last real update arrives).

If Valtteri Bottas fill in for Lance Stroll (Krack Plan B) it would come with a 5-place grid penalty he earned in Abu Dhabi 2024....

I think it was mentioned here that Drugovich gets the first opportunity as a replacement driver in Aston Martin, as it is part of his contract. Drugovich also said he would drop his Le Mans ride without hesitation if he had the opportunity to race in Canada. Drugovich is the only plan B.

Yep. I read it.

Plus why would you want to take a driver who has never driven the car(Bottas) over someone that has?
