Interesting that. France have underperformed at euros
He didn't have to have fastest lap. He was winning the race. He was saving tires and running at a consistent pace.
The entirety of this was true last year as well. Hell last year he also had a black and white flag shown for track limit violations which would have meant that any further track limit violation would result in a penalty and yet he went for a fastest lap and got it by beating a time set by Perez on new tyres with DRS. Verstappen no longer has the kind of car advantage (or even any discernible advantage based on the last 5 races) that he had last year. If you aren't able to realise that, I can't help you.
If that was true, Verstappen would have taken the fastest lap like he did last year. He was clearly pushing hard and couldn't do that this year because he didn't have the car under him
If 2 seconds is a long time, then what is the 20+ second Verstappen was winning by earlier¿? 2 seconds over 66 laps is just 0.03 seconds a lap - a difference so small that wind, dirty air or track temp will have a larger effect.
The gap that red Bull had was so marginal that I don't think Verstappen could have overtaken Norris if he had been behind Lando after lap 1
Max just walked away after regaining the lead.
What do you mean. Lando was only 2 seconds behind him. One slightly slower stop (2.9 seconds instead of the 1.9 second stop that he had at the 1st stop) and Lando would have been on him at the end. I understand that people are traumatized by Verstappen's dominance but he did not walk away from anybody. Infact like in 2021, it could argued that both Red Bull and McLaren are so close now that the faster car varies from stint to stint
No the softs did around 20 laps in the 1st stint. They should do 20 again without issue now that the cars are lighter
I think Norris is a little too far away. Hoping though
Perez is getting lapped today. I am calling it
Edit - Perez has picked up the place since I made this comment
Oh. That's my bad. I hope that the mercs have comparable race pace. The fight will be crazy of they do
I find how easily you have dismissed the Ferraris very offensive
Frankly merc were always strong in Spain, even in 2022. They have improved massively but I still don't think they have cleared ferrari. I guess we will learn more in this triple header
He has been struggling the whole weekend
Damn Norris pulled that out of the hat. Both him and Verstappen have been a cut above the rest throughout the week
I am not. Aston never looked quick in the FP sessions
So weird to see two alpines in Q3
No worries. Thanks for all the hard work
Edit : lol
Yeah. Hopefully they progress through the year. Then we can have a battle throughout the grid for all positions.
Still looks like the slowest of the top 4 teams
How have V-CARB managed to go backwards
There wasn't a qualy thread so I made it

> Testing if VRR is active and working > > I recently updated to fedora 40 and enabled the experimental setting to get VRR running. But I am an idiot who has been playing at frames rates between 30-60 on screens without VRR for almost all of my life so I can't even know if VRR is actually working or not. Is there some rest I can run to see if VRR is functional¿? If not, which parts of the game should I concentrate to see the difference between VRR and no VRR¿?

Edit : I am on a laptop with the integrated screen being the one being used. I am currently using ublue-main
So I have this external 2.5" drive salvaged from an old laptop of mine. I was trying to use it to backup/store data but the transfer to the drive fails repeatedly at the ~290GB mark leading me to believe that maybe there is a bad sector on the drive. I tried to inspect the drive using smartmontools and smartctl but since it is an external drive, i was not allowed to do so. Is there anyway for me to inspect and fix this drive? I am on fedora ublue-main. The HDD is a 1TB seagate drive.
Edit : I am a linux noob so some hand holding will be appreciated. Also i am looking to use this drive only for low priority media files which i dont mind losing so please help even though it is not the greatest idea to use a failing drive
Edit 2 : It seems my post is not clear of what i am doing. I dont want to recover data from the drive. I want to try to use more of the drive for storing data
Words cannot express just how much I love the new setting to quickly toggle between light and dark mode. I am very very grateful. Thank you @aeharding@lemmy.world, this is a wonderful app.

Since there is no F1TV community, I am posting here. I am trying to watch the pre season test on my phone running but am running into the error in the picture. My phone is running lineageOS 20. Is this a widevine certification issue¿? Is there anyway to resolve this¿?
Edit : Further phone details - Motorola G60. F1TV app used to work normally with the stock rom(at least it did last year)
