Finally got around to watch the Jeddah sim, I agree the track looks dangerous and it's likely the walls will claim a few victims.

I saw Jennie Gow report that cars will be full throttle for 79% of the lap:

Is that the most of any circuit this year? Googling around, I see Monza is 75%, Silverstone is 70%, but I couldn't find a definitive list of full throttle percentages.

Answering myself, found the following 2021 tracks (from https://www.racefans.net/2021-f1-sea...f1-calendar/):

Bahrain 72%
Monaco 59%
Red Bull Ring 79%
Silverstone 70%
Hungaroring 50%
Spa 70%
Monza 84%
Sochi 75%
Istanbul 69%
US GP 59%
Mexico 45%
Interlagos 64%
Qatar 68%
Jeddah 79%
Yas Marina 63%

The thought of RB putting on a wing that ends up failing the new inspection they asked for and getting DQ'd.

Yup they have, read it somewhere, you'll have to find it yourself.

Just googled the topic, and have found nothing. Likely it will be speculatory material from outlets rather than directly from redbull confirming it.

Reap what you sow I guess...

But that would be terrible lol. What would be worse is if the fia increases load tests even more right after and all of redbull's development efforts went down the drain.

But honestly I don't think flexible technology for carbon is too too sophisticated, and immensly difficult to make right. They have been doing it for years in hockey sticks with different carbon weave patterns. For example bauer's vapor series of sticks flexes either towards the bottom of the stick towards the blade for a "low kick point" if you hold your hands near the top. If you hold your shooting hand or dominant hand towards the middle of the stick, the flex point change to the middle of the stick allowing for a mid kick point and a more powerful shot - this was called intellisense (x60 and apex sticks) and iirc they don't do this anymore.

No, but if it is only available in a few obscure sources then the chances of it being fact is slim.

Some things in F1 are top secret also but can slip through.

That's the advantage when you're born on the track ...No fear !
As far as I know ...Octane flows through his veins

Jos his dad has said he cannot believe how Max has come up through the cotton wool to be top cat and doesn't know what he even does himself sometimes!

Replace MAX's ICE and release all the HONDA ponies !

The downside is : A 5 P grid penalty and it won't be easy to overtake at the Jeddah track ...

I am thinking this too, Saudi will be difficult in overtaking so it seems.

Anyone else's eyes gloss over when you see certain members posts? Or is that just me?

Former F1 driver Van der Garde is 100% putting his money on Max to win the drivers championship.
