[Meta] Race weekend posts (lemmy.ml)

Hi all,

How would you like to handle race weekends? AFAIK bots are not really there yet with Lemmy (please advise me if I'm wrong), so I can't automate posts for each session.

Given the current size of the community, do we want / need separate posts for practice / qualifying / race / Post-Race posts?

What do you all want to see?

As to the format for discussion threads, I'm open to anything. I'd be good all the way from a single race weekend thread, to per-session threads, to combined practice thread + individual threads for quali/race/post-race, or anything in-between.

I do enjoy the post-race thread culture in /r/formula1. The session threads can sometimes be full of hot-take one-liners and hot-heads from during the session. Separating the post-race thread lets the discussion reset when we have time to type things out more completely and have cooled off from the mid-race excitement.

I think individual threads for each session may be too much for a community this size, perhaps pre-GP and post-GP threads? I've never been one to do much talking during the race but that's probably just me.
