I'm impressed Charles managed to make the one-stop strategy work. It's a shame he didn't do a better job in qualifying. He could have races Checo harder. Excellent race by Sainz. He seems on it this year. I hope he finds a good race seat. He deserves it.

McLaren announce several organisational changes as new signing David Sanchez leaves team (www.formula1.com)

“Following thoughtful discussions between David Sanchez and the team leadership, the mutual decision has been taken for David to leave the team.

“Upon our joint reflection, it became apparent that the role, responsibilities, and ambitions associated with David’s position did not align with our original expectations when he agreed to join us in February 2023.

“Recognising this misalignment, both David and I agreed that it would be best to part ways now, so to enable him to pursue other opportunities that will better leverage the full scale and breadth of his remarkable skillset.

Alpine appoints three Technical Directors in new structure after departure of technical leads in c/formula1

[–] cum_hoc 2 points 4 months ago

On paper yes but David Sánchez and Rob Marshall have only just begun at McLaren. The evolutions of the MCL38 and the MCL39 will be the first to be fully developed under this structure. My guess is this year's car was designed by Peter Prodromou.

McLaren does. Technically, they have had it since last year but it's in full effect as of this season. They have Peter Prodromou as Technical Director, Aerodynamics; David Sanchez as Technical Director, Car Concept & Performance; and Rob Marshall as Technical Director, Engineering & Design. There's also Neil Houldey as Deputy Technical Director, Engineering and Design.

A bit off-topic but, given the lap time that Max (and Charles) managed to put in this qualifying session, if the race is close, either of them might be tempted to get the fastest lap point and break Pedro de la Rosa's record this year.

[FDataAnalysis] Ferrari made a massive step in race pace vs last year (~1.4s/lap), but the RB20 is the car to beat! in c/formula1

[–] cum_hoc 4 points 4 months ago

To me it's encouraging the fact that Ferrari didn't take a step back with the developments introduced last year. Little by little Fred's influence is being felt. The strategy has improved and the number of errors have gone down. I'm less worried about them this year.

They had the same pace over a race distance However, Verstappen had minimal tyre wear (even on the softs!), indicating that he was not even pushing 100%😳 Crazy consistency👌

I hope Ferrari's pace is strong enough to put up a fight. The data of the long runs suggest that RBR is stronger on the C3, but Ferrari is stronger on the C1, which over a race distance puts them even. It's possible (and likely) that RBR have more pace in reserve, but the gap shouldn't be unsurmountable.

[The Race] Ferrari's suspiciously good race sim is keeping F1 2024 intrigue alive (www.the-race.com)

The average of the timings of the race sims are off by 10s but Mark Hughes's remarks remain valid: the Ferrari was much faster than the Red Bull. It's obvious Red Bull is holding back performance but, how much? In any case, Ferrari might give Red Bull a harder time this year.

I was under the impression that it was set on the medium (C3). Is that not the case?

It was a fuel pump issue.

Firefox for android doesn't connect to cloudflare dns using the DoH protocol (self.firefox)

submitted 9 months ago by cum_hoc to c/[email protected]

I've configured my android phone to connect to cloudflare dns using the one.one.one.one server. When I go to https://1.1.1.1/help in Firefox for android, the page shows that it cannot use the DoH protocol, but Dot works. That wouldn't be too much of a problem but, since Firefox has rolled out ECH and it requires DoH, Firefox won't be using ECH. Is there a way to fix that. Thanks.

P. S.: I should point out that when I visit cloudflare's dns help page chrome for android does use DoH.
