  1. Oh, and in other news ... Remember Mario saying 'If they want blood, well, I’m ready'? This is exactly the kind of thing I figured was coming next. A bipartisan group of House reps taking an interest, calling out FOM for anti-trust / cartel-like behaviour. https://www.nbcnews.com/sports/us-congress-members-demand-answers-andrettis-exclusion-formula-1-rcna150189 https://punchbowl.news/article/andretti-f1-nfl-drones/
  2. If I had to guess at who's really the problem there, I'd have to say it's Marko. Apparently Newey has thanked Horner and said he is his friend, and Horner has done the same toward Newey ... but nobody's mentioning Marko.
  3. When I posted about Eddie Jordan's comments above, I didn't know at the time that he's Newey's got damn manager. https://www.gpblog.com/en/news/273137/eddie-jordan-gives-advice-to-adrian-newey.html
  4. Eddie Jordan was talking on a UK sports talk radio show and said that Newey hasn't made a decision yet and will probably just take a rest before making up his mind. He said everything is speculation at the moment. Tom Clarkson seems to think Aston Martin has the inside track and that's why they were in a hurry to sign Alonso and announce his extension. Who knows ...
  5. Yeah my money's been on retirement since the beginning of this thing, but wewillsee.
  6. From Ferrari in my inbox ... It'd be a lot cooler if they did this ...
  7. I asked a question earlier similar to yours. Here's some related info I just saw ... https://www.usatoday.com/story/travel/airline-news/2024/04/29/unruly-passenger-fine-united-airlines/73505562007/
  8. Yep. It's a car race. They're good, or at least Eminem is, but this isn't the blockbuster lineup he was trying to pump it up as.
  9. Yeah that was basically just a PR stunt. It would make no sense to sell your ticket back to them for $50 more than you paid if its value is about to 'skyrocket'. And I love Eminem, but this is the 'huuuuuge' lineup Epstein was talking about? I remember seeing Sting at his best with the Police, 41 years ago at Southpark Meadows when I was a freshman at UT. Good times, but 41 years is a long time.
  10. Bottas vs Perez vs Hulk seems like mediocre vs mediocre vs mediocre to me. Not much between 'em imho. Good drivers all, imho. Nothing great. Not bad either.
  11. He'd feel right at home in that Merc then.
  12. At this point they're practically the same guy imho, except one's German.
  13. This reminds me of something funny. Apparently Stoffel Vandoorne said recently that he could match Fernando Alonso in one-lap pace. I guess he's forgetting that time when he was Fernando's F1 teammate and got epically destroyed by a historic margin in Qualifying. 37-3, iirc. I guess he's technically correct, in that he could match Alonso once in every twelve thirteen attempts.
