I'm going see Formula 1 for the first time next month - Anything I should know?
  • Wear ear protection, even if the cars are quiet enough these days that you don't think you need it. Sometimes the trackside commentary is available on a local FM radio station, and they'll sell overpriced radio headsets, so bring your own if you're interested in that.

  • Diesel-smelling
  • Having watched Clarkson's Farm I think he honestly went into the farming business to test and resolve his opinions on the climate. He still loves cars but uses the car persona to look at farming practices.

  • Debian used to be so good. What happened!?
  • I'm considering moving to Debian Stable plus Flathub for graphical desktop packages like Firefox, it works well on the Steam Deck. SteamOS also provides Distrobox which helps in some cases.

  • What is your preferred Monaco Sunday event format?

    Given overtaking is impossible for similarly matched cars and drivers can avoid pitting simply by driving slowly, what kind of event would you have for Sunday?

    Best I can think of is an elimination style event: cars are released from the pits in reverse grid order with a 3s gap between each, and if you can stay within 1s of the car in front for a whole lap, that car is eliminated unless they're also within 1s of the car in front of them at the end of the lap (I guess the last checkpoint would need to be just before the pit entry).

    Worst I can think of is a series of duels, where Kevin Magnussen is given an SUV and a 3s gap, and drivers need to successfully overtake in an F1 car within 1 lap.
