Sauber F1 driver Wehrlein's neck still a concern after RoC crash

 

Sauber Formula 1 driver Pascal Wehrlein is undergoing further medical examinations this week following his accident during last month's Race of Champions.

 

The German lost control of his Polaris Slingshot when competing against F1 rival Felipe Massa, making contact with the Brazilian's car, which flipped him over and into a barrier.

 

Wehrlein emerged seemingly unscathed from the incident but it has emerged he has since undergone a series of medical examinations on his neck with several different doctors.

 

The diagnoses have been mixed, which sparked the need for further checks, believed to have been instigated at the request of Wehrlein.

Does F1 still excite you? (Curiosity)

I've started to find myself getting bored watching it...

Yes. With the new aero regulations potentially changing up the pecking order I'm quite looking forward to the 2017 F1 season.

I'll take that image with a pinch of salt, anything released this early on will be missing some key elements to what will turn up to the grid in Melbourne in 5-6 weeks.

Yes it does. Some of the new rule changes should make for some interesting racing.

Love the variations in the cars already. Great that they've been given more freedom. Should make for a very good season

What variations? All wings would look same. All cars will have flippers. Only nose cones. But those nose cones variations were there in 2016 as well.

We haven't seen all cars yet. Pretty sure some of the bigger teams like Red Bull or Mercedes will have unique aero solutions.

Yeh I tihnk in front of the side-pods is going to be one of the key aero areas, it's been opened up according to those 2 Merc vids, so then can basically do whatever in there.

I'm not liking the return of the fins too much, especially with the lower wider wing, It just makes it look separated somehow. F1 Cars tend to just be one long extension of itself from nose to rear wing whereas this makes the rear wing look like an after thought.

      Good point Anti-spoofing protection for cloud mailboxes Anti-spoofing technology in Microsoft 365 specifically examines forgery of the From header field (also known as the 5322.From address, From address, or P2 sender), because email clients show the From header value as the message sender. When Microsoft 365 has high confidence the From header is forged, the message is identified as spoofed. https://learn.microsoft.com/en...g-protection-spoofing-about
    • DWARF mini review: the world's smallest smart telescope for night and day sky captures

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I sort of agree with you on that. I had a telescope - a real hefty thing, although only around 500CHF - that got me so fascinated about the stars and planets. I would stare for hours, amazed that I could see the craters of the moon or the rings of Saturn in "realtime" (quotations because, y'know, speed of light and whatnot). A friend of mine has a telescope like the one mentioned in the review, and the pictures are amazing to look at. But there is something missing for me. I may as well just go to NASA's website and look through their gallery.

      As opposed to catching bad press because it's the engine's fault? The engine has all the tools a dev needs to optimize their game, Epic isn't gonna hold their hand to make sure they use them. Also, Epic isn't forcing anyone to use Lumen, Nanite or super high resolution meshes and textures. Just because Nanite can render meshes with millions of polygons doesn't mean you should use it like that, in fact, Epic recommends you avoid doing that. Most of the stuttering can easily be fixed by cutting down on unique materials by using master materials, using instanced meshes, generating a PSO cache, pre-compiling every shader before loading the game and also managing what must be loaded and unloaded at runtime. It's up to the developer to set all that up properly.

      I think it depends on what you're looking for to do, and the time you have to spare. With my Dwarf 3, I easily spend 3-4 hour sessions; half an hour driving to an un-light polluted place, another half hour unpacking and setting up the smart scope + tripod for equatorial tracking, then 15 more minutes mucking around with settings and shooting calibration frames, spending a few hours shooting, merging with past photo sessions, etc. It's crazy how time flies and I often get home later than I expected. It's something I still need to set aside a good part of an evening to do, all in all. For one session, where you often need like four for best results when it comes to deep space objects. Even with a smart scope like Dwarf 3, regular non-astro photography is still way more approachable to people getting into photography. I find this is a time consuming niche no matter how I go about it. With practice, I can probably begin cutting time here but I think where smart scopes find their home is among people who love to shoot the night sky but don't have the spare time to go deep with the "navigator level" attunement to the night sky itself in addition to everything else. Having said this, _if_ you have even more time to spend on this hobby, it will probably be even more rewarding to do it more by hand and learn the skies and the details of how it all works.
