Saw Stroll saying that they thought they could be more that 4 seconds off the pace right now

I tried watching the Day 1 recap on apple tv last night and it was really choppy. Not sure if it was the app or my tv but it was unwatchable after a minute or so.

My F1TV app still works so I've been watching that. I assume I'll to switch over to apple soon? Or I really just have no idea how it works this year.

Safe to say Max isn't a big fan of the new cars.

"To drive [they are] not a lot of fun, to be honest," he said. "I would say the right word is management. It's not very Formula 1-like. It feels a bit more like Formula E on steroids. But the rules are the same for everyone, so you have to deal with that.

"As a pure driver, I enjoy driving flat out and at the moment, you cannot drive like that. There's a lot going on. A lot of what you do as a driver, in terms of inputs, has a massive effect on the energy side of things. For me, that's just not Formula 1. Maybe it's then better to drive Formula E, right? Because that's all about energy, efficiency and management.

I couldn't find it on the AppleTV app so I looked it up. You have to link your AppleTV to your account on the F1 app to access it. I'm not sure if that will change for the races but it's what you have to do now.

Edit: It looks like races and such will be on AppleTV like it was with ESPN but the Apple sub gets you F1TV Premium too.

Ok, that is different than how I understood it. I though the app would be disabled in the US and they were going to force you through Apple.

Basically I should just get it through Apple anyways so I get their streaming content along with F1TV.

Seems like everyone hates the new cars without saying they hate the new cars

No one has posted the Ferrari wing yet? Do you suppose they will actually use it, or are they just getting other teams to try and waste time figuring it out?

Fascinating stuff, also more room for sponsors!

It’s a slower transition than what everyone else is running, but I think it’d be better aero right?

From what i read online is early testing shows that it gives 10km/hr more when active
