OK folks, it looks like we have a few Formula 1 fans on the site so I thought I'd start an overall discussion thread.


First race is Australia (Covid willing) on March 18-21st. That's just slightly more than two months away. Not long at all actually.

I can't wait!

Funny, the day after I post this I see they pushed the Australia race.

Now the first race is Bahrain March 26th-28th.

Looks like we've gotta wait a week longer.

Anyone interested in eventually seeing an autonomous F1 car?

Its already happening with Indy

As soon as I saw this I thought of the Roborace car that turned into a wall
LOL

This Rossi vs Robot race is a good example of how well robots can perform currently.
It was just 32 seconds behind Rossi in the end.

Cheering/booing race car drivers is such big part of racing I don't know if it'd be the same for me if it was all autonomous.
