  1. Pinto Canyon Road, yes. I haven’t actually been down it yet myself, though.
  2. I agree 100% with this. It is sort of ironic though that the cap is now what will keep the dominant team in front.
  3. Well, obviously. But what they mean is they need to do a wholesale change and figure out what special missing piece is that they’ve missed, and not continue to spend money on a dead end.
  4. It is, but I have to say that I’m pretty concerned with what Liberty seems to want to do with the sport. It is 100% money driven for them at the expense of everything else, and while it’s still mostly okay right now, I fear for the future.
  5. McLaren was further back there than they looked, too. They were super quick but very unreliable. I think Lewis retired from the lead 4 times. Also, COTA’s first race was that year. Wow, time flies.
  6. The W14 isn’t a wholly bad car either. Like it’s not too bad to drive, it doesn’t bounce anymore, it’s just slow. That typically means it’s lacking downforce. I saw a tweet that their seemingly positive trend last year (and the win at Brazil*) convinced them they were moving in the right direction. And maybe they were, but again, RB just owned everybody way more so than was expected. *I knew it was George’s fault!! /s
  7. It sure seems like it. I think that they were going in thinking that they could fight after some development the year, but the kicker was that RB showed up and just drug their nuts across everyone’s face, so the gap ended up just way more than just simple refinement/upgrades can catch. If RB didn’t exist, then sure they could battle AM and Ferrari this year, but I think it will be like 2014 all over again. The RB19 is just insane. Toto seemed so exasperated that he even told Sky that their big upgrade for Baku/Imola was 3 tenths. 3 tenths is good, but it ain’t catching Red Bull when they’re 1s+ ahead. I wouldn’t be surprised if they scrapped that now. Or, since it’s already in production, they put it on the car and just roll with that for ROS and do as best as they can, and then just get to work on developing a different concept.
  8. Big oof. https://us.motorsport.com/f1/news/russell-red-bull-will-win-every-single-race-in-2023-f1-season/10440272/
  9. Yeah, I think he’s doing just fine over there.
  10. I really like The Lodge, actually. It ain’t fancy, and sometimes the water smells like sulphur, but it’s a cool place. Here’s some random photos.
  11. Here’s a nice piece by Alex. Kind of gives some insight on how RBR works as well. https://www.theplayerstribune.com/posts/alex-albon-formula-one-racing-f1
  12. It was also a bit too hot for the softs. They were overheating in S3. Q should be really exciting.
  13. Speak No Evil just fuckin’ rips.
  14. He kinda had an “oops, lol” thing for a few seconds.
  15. They’re all using one car. Just all other teams did half and half using both drivers.
  16. Lol. @G650 and I even said as much at the time. Will certainly put a more dramatic spin on it, but I don’t know why this is some big conspiracy.
  17. I feel like they just want more in-season uncertainty and they feel they get that by reducing testing. In reality I think it hurts the smaller teams more, though.
  18. Tony Iommi* That was my guess, too.
