@Hamster @Dave what exactly are you okes moaning about?
You break the site and whine to us all about it? Seriously? Europeans are soft.
I'm using Brave - no ads. Twitter works just fine.
@Naks keep your twitter feed coming. Much appreciated for posting here!

You might be new here, Naks thinks posting pages of random tweets often with tenuous links to F1 and almost zero personal input is the way to post, it's rather tedious and tiresome. The last page of boring dross is just a bit much to not reference. If he actually posted relevant interesting stuff from Twitter it wouldn't be so bad.

If we knew what your previous username was it might be easier to understand if you used to frequent the F1 threads or not ;)

And you and Hamster think whining is going to fix the world. It don't work like that Mr W. Just look past the post and move right on if you don't like it. I for one appreciate @Naks input

I like to read the twitter spam, mostly because I hate looking for the posts myself on twitter. Easier if someone else does it for me.

That said, if you don't like his posts, just put him on ignore. Problem solved. Life is too short to get annoyed by online personas.

LOLz, photos of rear/front wings, details of cars, etc. I suppose technical stuff is beyond your understanding. Unsurprisingly.

It would have been even better if that Twitter feed was actually in English and understandable.
I don't often go read Spanish Twitter... mainly because I don't speak or read Spanish...

I mean, the ENG translation is right there, but in any case, what kind of pathetic nekulturny doesn't have a modicum of romance languages?

Ain't nobody got time to click on all of that. I don't think non ad block/guard/vpn users realise all we see are links.

MyBB provides Twitter previews which show up fine with AdBlock, uBlock, etc. Look, I realise the TikTok generation mainly uses mobile , but that's a you problem.

About 10 yellow flags in the first 15 mins and now red flag. Gasly's car is on fire, people clipping the walls, tyres falling off. There's only 60 minutes of practice for the whole weekend, and will be losing at least 20 minutes due to the red flag.

I can't think anyone has done more than maybe 3 or 4 proper laps yet.

I understand you're (maybe) new to the forum, but you might want to research exactly how forums work.

Feck him, I like to read all the retarded style posts at times, especially when I can't sleep and need help with the insomnia ;).
 
Interesting analysis of what's going on at Ferrari by Mark Hughes. Ferrari fans, look away now :p

Corporate Ferrari F1 team set to flop again and again: https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/...rari-f1-team-set-to-flop-again-and-again-mph/

"The imminent departure of Laurent Mekies from his role as Ferrari’s sporting director was announced in a somewhat unconventional way. AlphaTauri earlier this week confirmed that Mekies would replace the retiring Franz Tost as team principal there from next season, but there was no accompanying release from Ferrari. In addition to the fact that Mekies is still working in his Ferrari role this weekend in Baku, it underlines the fact that the decision to leave was Mekies’, not Ferrari’s. His departure follows the similar resignation after Bahrain of vehicle concept chief engineer David Sanchez, who is now serving out his gardening leave prior to filling a similar role at McLaren next year.

Both men were proteges of ousted boss Mattia Binotto. But while Binotto was effectively invited to leave, Sanchez and Mekies have chosen to go despite the team wishing to retain them. This is all just part of the turbulence resulting from the decision of company chairman John Elkann and CEO Benedetto Vigna to remove Binotto at the end of last season. ...

The records set by Todt/Brawn/Schumacher-era Ferrari were eventually equalled or broken by Mercedes in the hybrid era, of course. Again, a big proportion of that team was peopled by those who’d been there during the previous decade of under-achievement in the BAR and Honda days just before it morphed into the one-off title-winning Brawn team. But in this example there was a change of leadership – first Ross Brawn who laid the foundations for all that was to come (just as he’d done with Todt at Ferrari) and subsequently Toto Wolff.

The appearance of Ross Brawn in each of these successes is significant. Yes, he understood very well what the pressure points were for a team in any given situation and was very effective at unblocking them. But that was just what he did. It was the way that he did it which was far more significant and which is so very relevant to Ferrari’s current problems. At both those teams he had absolute autonomy. The owners stipulated a budget and thereafter he would accept no interference. At Ferrari he did this in partnership with Todt (and to an extent Michael Schumacher), acting as a forcefield which kept any corporate interference at bay.

Brawn has twice been courted by Ferrari to come back and apply his magic all over again. The most recent occasion came when he was already set to wind his career down. But the previous time, the only reason he said no was the corporate management not agreeing to his terms of autonomy. So, if this team is to be forever run by corporate management without the required specialised and highly intricate understanding of an F1 team, it will forever fall short of its vast potential.

Current team principal Frederic Vasseur is doubtless already feeling the mismatch between what he sees as necessary and what he is empowered to do. There has never in the history of F1 been a successful team run by a corporate management. The blueprint for success is right there in Ferrari’s own history and it’s likely going to be frustrating watching the team prove what is already obvious over and over again."
