Still less of a diva than Toto.
Race Week is upon us so here is an update to my post from last year
Quick Tutorial for Race Weekend (for those new to F1)
Friday
Saturday
Note: FP sessions last 60 minutes.
Q1 - (18 minutes) All 20 drivers attempt to post their fastest hot lap. Top 15 drivers advance to Q2. Bottom 5 drivers are then slotted 16-20 for the race based on fastest lap times in Q1 session.
Q2 - (15 minutes) Top 15 remaining drivers again try to post fastest hot lap. Top 10 drivers advance to Q3. Remaining 5 drivers are then slotted 11-15 for the race based on fastest lap times in Q2 session.
Q3 - (12 minutes) Top 10 remaining drivers slotted 1-10 based on fastest lap times in Q3 session. "Pole position" awarded to fastest lap time posted in Q3 session.
Note: Drivers can attempt as many times as they are able within the time slot to record a fastest lap.
Update: The Q2 tyre rule has been removed for the 2022 season. Drivers may choose whichever tyre they want to start a race.
Sunday
Race - Drivers line up on starting grid based on qualifying results (and penalty times if assessed). Drivers perform a warm-up or "formation" lap to get into position. Lights out and race is underway!
Sprint Race Rules
Quick Tutorial for Race Weekend (for those new to F1)
Friday
- Free Practice 1 and Free Practice 2 - This is a time for teams to test out the cars and all associated operations, and give the driver's time to reacquaint with and get used to the race track and practice doing "hot laps" or full-speed laps. Fastest lap times are recorded and noted for the drivers for each session.
Saturday
- Free Practice 3 - Final tuneup for the drivers to prepare for qualifying and note any remaining issues with the car. Fastest lap times are recorded and noted for the drivers for each session.
Note: FP sessions last 60 minutes.

Just finished DTS S4. Can't wait for the first "It's lights out and away we go"
Also just finished.
Really enjoyed Toto in the Bond villain black turtle neck to end the show

That was awesome/perfectly scripted.
Only on episode 4. Do we get a good "No Mikey No" somewhere in the last episode?
Yes
Yep. Spoilers if you care……….Toto was so pissed someone had to translate what Masi said to German. Never seen that clip before.
I have finished season 4 of DTS. I will reserve my comments until later this week.
RAWE
CEEK
CEEK
That race week feeling 🕺

I opted out from watching DTS after Season 3, good to see they haven't changed

"There's a bit of me and Daniel going side by side in Turn 1 when we're not even close, and I claim he pushes me off, which is from a completely different race!" #F1
So far, I would say season 4 is the worst season. They definitely appear to mix and match voice recordings and unrelated scenes in order to drum up drama.
But I still find it an enjoyable watch. The Tsunoda part was cool, even being clearly over blown.

have not yet watched this season. but, season 3 the fake racing commentary was over the top in places. seems they are doubling down.
I enjoyed Season 1 a lot, as I felt it was a true behind the scenes of F1. It was a good treat especially after F1 stopped showing fans some good footage for free, like the driver's briefs they would upload on Youtube. S2 was great as well. S3 is when they kind of created that drama to spice things up and make viewers feel like they have to choose a side or choose a favorite driver based on a TV show.
With season 1, the drama was all on the track. Now in season 4, the drama is all off the track.
But 2021 was a boring season outside of what, four races? Silverstone, Abu Dabi, Monza, and…Austria? I'll probably be flamed, but there wasn't a whole lot of competition as teams prepared for 2022.
Hard for Netflix to put lipstick on a pig.

Hungary and France were pretty exciting too.
Saudi Arabia and the infamous "brake check" incident

The championship literally came down to the last lap of the entire season and that's somehow a boring uncompetitive season?
I'd add to your list Brazil for sure, Hamilton had an absolutely insane weekend. Baku had the blown tire controversy with Stroll and Verstappen and the red flag restart with Hamilton screwing up giving Checo the win. Hungary had the huge crash to start and ended with Alonso defending Hamilton for multiple laps to help Ocon win. Williams found a way to break through with Russell and Latifi each scoring points in multiple races.
I'm sorry but I'm flaming away, last year was very entertaining.
The only point I'd throw out as boring was the middle of the pack season put on by Aston Martin but that was pretty much expected after the FIA made the Mercedes teams rework the underbody of the cars before the 2021 season.
2021 boring!? It was the closest we got to 2012. All it needed was 3 teams fighting for the top rather than 2
2013 and 2015, now those years sucked.

I agree with everything you said about the championship being exciting.
But from Netflix's perspective, who've made the first two seasons on primarily the midfield teams, there wasn't a whole lot of competition for teams 5 through 10.
I fully embrace the minority position here.

Ngl, the only midfield battle that kept me entertained was Vettel vs Alonso for the Overtakes trophy :P
5 eps in to this season and I like it better than last year so far

They barely touched on Lewis' win in Brazil too, which I thought was very exciting!
Lots of drama in Azerbaijan too with the tire failures and Lewis running off the track at the restart. I guess DTS did show like a 2 second clip of Lewis running off the track with zero context..tailgatetimer10 said:NewOldAg said:

I thought Brazil was fun until it was clear that Lewis was past ludicrous speed and into plaid.
But Netflix, for better or worse, isn't zooming in on the top two drivers or teams for a full season. Instead, they look to the midfield teams to tell the "untold" storylines, like Haas and Alpine. But these midfield teams did not have a ton of fight this year, and Netflix was left to try and create some drama among the smaller teams. 3 teams had zero points for how long? Terrible for Netflix's "underdog" storylines.
I loved last season from a fan's championship view. But in discussing season 4 of Netflix's storyboard, there wasn't a whole lot for them to go after outside of the top teams. Which they choose not to do, for better or worse.

Presale for F1 started 40 mins ago. Was able to get main grandstand. Way easier than last year for sure.

Excellent Space Balls reference, sir. May the Schwartz be with you.

Took me 1.5 hrs but finally got in. Are you able to sell days if you can't go with the three day pass?
Is there a pre sale code? Somehow I missed their emails even though I've bought tickets for the past 9 years.
I'm in the que though.

No code needed

Fastest driver lap time during the race is also awarded a point

Thanks. Added the clarification. I think a couple of drivers had that happen last year. Checo maybe?
And also with you! Don't even get me started on F1's merchandising or how Max jammed Lewis.
