  1. To be fair, the cap was originally supposed to be $175m, but then they went down because of covid to the $140m. A further 20% decrease is quite a bit, especially now with material costs etc. I know it was agreed to, but I’m just saying I can understand why this is happening given the current circumstances. I guess in the end it didn’t even matter since the top teams are still at the top. Haas did improve, but that kinda seems to be the only “big” change.
  2. Yeah it’s kinda weird. If you were to implement an actual salary cap in baseball, you wouldn’t set it at what the A’s or Orioles spend. However, that is essentially what F1 did, since the current cap is basically what Williams/Alfa had been spending in 2019/2020, and even that money is now worth a lot less while the regulations nearly completely changed.
  3. Decidedly uncool. https://www.instagram.com/tv/Cd5_dDUj0S4/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
  4. They want to remove it starting next year. Also, on the podium where it had the outline of the circuit, they didn’t have the chicane in it, haha. But yeah, they are definitely trying to get it removed.
  5. I have flown with gear using SWA twice (since the bags are free). Both times were DAL -> LAS. First time was fine, second time one of my bags did not make the trip. I would not have have been able to wait around for it, and they couldn’t really ship it, since I would be in the middle of nowhere and changing locations, so SWA bought me a bunch of new gear and gave me a big voucher for my trouble. I picked up my lost bag when I got back, and ended up with about $900 in free stuff. So, it was a pain but they did take care of me.
  6. Excellent. i need to go shoot some more of mine.
  7. Gotdam, Scotty!
  8. Jimmie with a massive moment on his first turn and a great save. Screwed his run, though.
  9. Dixon with a monster run already. Grojean with a moment but still a decent run, ahead of Power and Sato.
  10. Lando apparently has tonsillitis. Damn.
  11. Fast 12 starting now.
  12. I was going to recommend MPB or KEH as well. MPB does tend to have better prices, and both give warranties. KEH will get your order to you super quick, though. Use NORTHRUP-1 for 5% off as well. I am in the still-rocking-a-DSLR club. I’ll switch to one of the Canon R models eventually, but my 5DIV is still awesome, and my kit for it is good. I had one of those cheap Chinese L bracket knockoffs, but it developed play when tightened all the way. Bought a RRS in EX condition from KEH for like $80 (those things retail for like $200+ which is insane), and damn it is a nice piece. I hadn’t realized that it clamps onto the camera lug on the side for an additional mounting point. Anyway, I’m just trying to say that I’m still investing in my DSLR because it still makes awesome images. The mirrorless stuff has made incredible strides in AF and is now way better than DSLRs there, but the IQ is still going to be about the same on your keepers, so it just depends what you are looking for.
  13. I don’t think that is actually the case looking at the data, but yeah, his medium stint was absolutely nuts. Was running similar times to Max who was on softs at the same time. The soft stint at the end he was faster on most laps until the lift and coast order. And he did all that on what was essentially a two stopper, so his tires were older than most others. Can’t really compare to Charles since he retired, but their medium stint pace was about the same until Charles retired. That was race winning race pace today. How about we fix the qualifying speed next!
  14. Damn, what a recovery from Lewis today, without any SC or anything. Wonder where he’d have been without that lap 1 incident. Thanks, Kevin.
  15. Love that baby HZJ71 at the end. I think my dream cruiser would be a nice LHD HZJ73. This is perfect.
  16. Toto did confidently say they do understand the porpoising now. Sounds like it was definitely from the floor flexing. His words were “floor swinging”.
  17. To expand, it seems like they are doing different things with the two cars. Don’t know if driver preference or more of a testing thing. Russell has a higher top speed by 3-5kph over Lewis and had an incredible S1, where Lewis was great in S2. And most of S3 until the final corner onto the main straight (he probably made a mistake here since it was pretty slow). Lewis is faster in all the slower corners (1, 4, 5, 7, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15), but George faster in the medium to higher speed ones and on all the straights. End result was just over a tenth different so I dunno. What is interesting though is both Mercs had a higher top speed than Charles on the main straight. George hit 324kph, Lewis 320, and Charles 316. Max hit 321. Hmmm.
  18. This. There’s a lot of re-understanding of the car to do, too. Setup and aero balance wise. They will get closer.
  19. Today would have been between nesting day 14-16, so I am pretty sure they fledged. Not much in the way of predators where I am, specifically.
  20. Norman of Norman’s Rare Guitars is going thru some shit. You got this shit, Norm!
  21. Well, I assume they fledged because I didn’t touch them! They better go on to live some prosperous little bird lives.

    If you missed the RSD Art Pepper like me, Plaid Room still has a few as of now. https://www.plaidroomrecords.com/products/art-pepper-art-pepper-meets-the-rhythm-section-mono
  24. You certainly can do that if you want. It won’t affect or hurt anything. It is a pretty neat system, though. Also, brakes at 38k? Damn.
