Perez left ‘very concerned’ by lack of pace in Canada as he falls further off the championship lead | Formula 1®

His race pace the last few races has been concerning, but the terrible performances in qualifying is just dumbfounding. The Red Bull has such a gap on the rest of field, shown by Max, that Checo should never be in danger of missing Q3 barring a crash or mechanical failure.

I know his seat is probably safe as long as Red Bull stays solidly ahead in the constructors, but if he keeps performing this poorly RBR has to at least look at potential options for next season.

The great Mercedes turnaround

Reply in thread

They aren't even comparing to Max though. The only Red Bull mention in the article is saying they were fast enough to keep Checo behind over the duration of the race.

It has been a pretty great turnaround, but they still have a lot of work to go. I think their car is still slightly behind Aston on general race pace, but they are mostly ahead of Ferrari and competitive with Alonso.

Norris penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct has little precedent

Reply in thread

I wonder if the stewards basically combined his two borderline incidents and gave him one penalty for it. I thought he was likely to get a penalty for the unsafe release and was pretty surprised he didn't, but on the flip side it seemed unlikely to get a penalty for driving too slow under a safety car.

As for the stewards problem, I really think they need to do a hybrid approach. Have 2-3 members of the stewards team that are on the FIA payroll and are part of the stewarding team at every event, but bring in an additional 2-3 different local stewards as well. Hopefully it would bring some consistency across how specific incidents are ruled, but by cycling new people through the group you avoid favoritism arguments.

How to uninstall 3DTouch?

Can you elaborate on what was wrong with your prints after installing? A properly configured 3DTouch will let you get an accurate bed mesh which will improve your prints, but only marginally if your bed is fairly flat to begin with. My guess would be something is off with your configuration, likely either a Z-Offset or a misconfigured mesh.
