Sir Lewis Labradormeister Hamilton of Stevenage

That will never fit on the timing screen

Don't worry they managed to fit Carlos Sainz's name there - I wonder how?

 

[ToxicBunny]

Technical point, he is a KBE, not an MBE.

Blame teh Wiki then... its a direct copy and paste from their fakenews

He used to be an MBE. The honours run MBE - OBE - CBE - KBE iirc

KBE = Knight ie Sir

Yeah I'm vaguely aware of the order of things... tbh I didn't really pay any attention to what was on the Wiki page, I just copied the whole thing and slotted in his new 3rd name.

I personally believe Sainz is hugely underrated.

I don't just think ''he's just as good'', I reckon he'll win a championship before Leclerc/Norris/Russell do.

I think you're delusional if you think Norris or Russel will ever win a championship.

This will not age well

 

[pinball wizard]

Please, refer to him by his official title

Sir Lewis Carl Davidson Larbalestier Hamilton MBE HonFREng

Nah, he'll forever be Labradormeister in my mind now.

"About Red Bull: The team's engineers have prepared a rear suspension that changes behavior after 250 km / h to help eliminate porpoising. Verstappen will bring it to #BahrainGP , while Perez will probably have it from Saudi Arabia. #F1"

Read last night Alpine have also fixed this. Interesting times...

Blah Blah Blah
The real question is if Labradormeister will have his new name before Bahrain or Saudi Arabia

 

[UrBaN963]

Quite curious what they've done with the suspension that makes it act that way without being active.

Some clever engineers man, hopefully we get some insight into it.

Bigger things to worry about than the guy changing his name. I skim over all the social media posts around this now.
As if changing your name will have such a massive impact on society.

Yes Alphine say that they have found a way to turn porpoising on and off?

I was referring to the Tweet regarding Red Bull.

I wonder how they've done that. Perhaps it's engineered in such a way that it stiffens or softens at a given load, which load would be generated by downforce when it reaches that speed.

I know, but Alphine suggesting they can turn it on and off also doesn't stipulate if its done in the pits or while driving

I don't know, I haven't seen anything regarding Alpine. They probably just decelerate until it goes away.

I was referring to the fact that apparently Alpine have also found a way to eliminate porpoising.

Hence it makes 2 teams who have stated this in the open.

Alpine have found a way to turn porpoising on and off, says Sporting Director Alan Permane | Formula 1®

Aerodynamic porpoising has been a key feature of Formula 1 pre-season, with teams scratching their heads working out how to iron the phenomenon out of the new generation of cars – and it seems Alpine are one who have managed to do just that

www.formula1.com

No real clues on how, but it looks like settings they can apply. Could be in-race, could be done in the pits after a shake-down run on a Friday and before qualifying.

Yea I haven't seen anything WRT Alpine, but if they have that's great. I wonder if the other teams have also fixed it and just aren't saying anything, or if it's still an issue.

 

[caroper]

Saturday will reveal who has fixed it, the how will have to wait for the protest hearings.
