  • I would say there was some improvement In the last third of season. He wasn’t crashing anymore and was consistent in the time difference (more or less) to albon as well.

    On top of that, we just don’t see the data the team is seeing when it comes to an improvement.

    One other thing to keep in mind. There is a supposedly very talented new driver starting in F2 next year that could drive for Williams in 2025, so that could play into the decision as well. Although I just looked for it and couldn’t find it. I think Alex Jaques talked abiut it in the last F2 sessions.











  • To phrase the message in that particular way had to be intentional, right? We’ll have to get used to that in the coming seasons, it was only a matter of time.

    To be quite honest, I can’t shake the increasing feeling that formula1 and motorsport in general are just not sustainable anymore and I say that as a motorsport fan of over 30 years. Been to the nordschleife more times than I can count, set a lap time on it, loved every second of it and I still absolutely love motorsport.

    I’ll get a bit of severance pay next year and I’m seriously tempted to at least participate one year in amateur motorsports, but I can not justify it I think… Every little bit counts they say…

    Anyway, sorry for the rant, but it’s been in my head for a long time now.






  • At least in feddit (main German instance) there were a lot of posts offering up financial support, but it was declined because it was not needed.

    I think especially the smaller communities wouldn’t have a problem coming with funds for hosting. Donations for lemmy developers have also increased significantly since the main exodus.

    I get your scepticism, but I think the lemmy community for the most part wants this thing to “succeed” and is willing to chip in a reasonable amount.
