I think this is my first post in hn.

I'm a tifosi. But what a poor choice of F1 team to learn from successful, coordinated, well and timely executed pit stops.

To be fair they did win the Fastest Pit Stop Award last season https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article/2025-dhl-fastest-...

Pit stops aren't Ferrari's problem. its race Strategy.

>>I'm a tifosi.

Like one of those big banners they hold up at football (soccer) matches?

Tifosi is just Italian for "fans". In this context, it's fans of the Ferrari F1 team.

My thought exactly. When I read the title, I thought they're gonna get more people killed if they use Ferrari F1 pit crew as their learning benchmark lol.

It's tifoso or tifosa (female). Tifosi is plural.

A watch floor turn over in the military or on-station aircraft swap are also good places to look at.

One cool aspect of working in a high-performance, critical setting, is you learn and absorb amazingly well-research practices without thinking about what it took for things to get there.

Yeah what a strange “guard” to put in place. No clue why they’d do it this way.

I first thought it’d be a “I’m 18+ pop-up” lol.

My first thought was a conversation with a med student friend about the tension between medical research transparency and public policy. For example, it's good to get vaccinated, but some small fraction of people do have lasting side effects, and vaccine skeptics blow it out of proportion to support their views. So, medical professionals may be tempted to downplay vaccine injury to support public vaccination. Of course, doing so just erodes trust further if people notice. Anyways, perhaps this website is afraid people will hurt themselves with ambiguous information.

It's probably underpinned by the same sort of "we're legally/contractually obligated to ask but we really don't care" type situation.

Now you're going to get ads for MRI systems and 10,000 miles of free bandage samples

This means the patient makes up their own strategy and the doctor says “we are checking”

I don't know, I would worried about learning anything from Ferrari F1 team. As they refuse to learn. If it wasn't for their OP engines, they would not have been competitive FOR MANY years.

Their race strategy has been sabotaging drivers for YEARS.

TIL, I am a health professional on the internet. If you need help with any health problems I am here. /s
