Well yes, this is the problem isn't it:

1. Monopoly X sucks
2. Federated alternatives developed
3. People complain that there's not enough content on them

I've been really enjoying https://nebula.tv/, but yes, I wish they'd built it on top of PeerTube.

A lemmy for video streaming

There are even companies springing up who will run and host it for you, for a price, of course.

It's looks so smooth, that's what really stood out to me.

Genuinely scared seeing Logan's in lap. I almost wonder if need a medical meatball flag, seems wrong to tell driver it's their call because they'll inevitably push it too far.

Oh Alpine, what must that feel like.

How did you not get spoilers over there?

Haha, I opened Sync too early, saw this post just as Piastri interview was starting. At least I was prepared for shenanigans 😵‍💫

Yeah I'd always assumed 'external help' would be the dealbreaker, but I checked the onboard and you can see they jack the car up on to the 'skateboard' to move it back in to the garage (00:37 on F1TV feed). Perhaps it's external powered help, I guess that would get around cars being pushed back by marshals too.

Glad they did, but depressing when they called that out on the F1TV commentary.

“I’m a Red Bull driver,” he said. “All the Red Bull seats are filled and unfortunately for me that means that, for now, I’ll be reserve driver.”

Bet Alpine wish Oscar had felt that way!

I thought so too, and was surprised to see this:

Carlos Sainz has reportedly signed a pre-contract with Audi which is set to join the F1 grid in 2026.

The Spanish driver is currently in a contract with Ferrari until the end of 2024. However, it has also been reported that he has signed a 2+3 year contract extension with the Maranello-based squad, which would mean he would have another two years with the option of a third if it is true.

Long, long overdue but I'm so nervous for the first woman who makes it to the grid, going to be so much attention and scrutiny.

See also Betteridge's law of headlines .

I wondered during the race: why were they allowed to put the car back on track after the 'retirement'?

Is there really no rule to stop that? Like could you conceivably crash, be brought back to the garage, repaired, get back in and rejoin the race? I guess there's little reason to (excepted in a contrived situation like this), but I'd always assumed that was not permitted.

ICYMI: 5 sec penalty that didn't actually change his position...

I didn't think it was too bad, but holy cow those overpasses kept getting in the way on the heli shots!

So if the precedent is there's no penalty for stopping there, then conceivably you could park and wait towards the end of a session, then go at the last second so other people queued behind you couldn't complete their out laps in time?

I am curious if you found anywhere?

So glad I'm not an Alpine fan, must be torture going through this every weekend.
