  1. Yep, and upstream someone referred to ground effect as bullshit ... but ground effect was re-introduced to allow for better following and overtaking, and did that very well until it was walked back because some teams couldn't get a grip on it. As a result, overtaking got harder again, and this year it was probably as difficult as ever. Now GE is being further reduced, and there will be no DRS, and a weak PU, but still heavier than necessary, of course. We'll see, I guess.
  2. OBTW, remember the other day when I asked how y'all would like a new V10 series? This is what I was talking about. Anthony Hamilton launching platform in 2026 to “celebrate the unmistakable sound of V10 single-seater racing.” Here's the gist of what I was told.
  3. It may not be unprecedented, but I don't think it's common. I've never seen it happen in about 30 years. And they can keep it secret from us, but not from each other, and that's what really matters.
  4. nsiap ...
  5. It's that time again. 90 days til lights out .... Umberto Maglioli's Ferrari 625 TF Spyder at the 1953 Coppa d'Oro delle Dolomiti. He finished 3rd.
  6. Yeah I'm not hearing good rumblings from anywhere with regard to the new rules. It'll be really interesting to see how this shakes out. Apparently all reporters, even team social media people are barred from attending the first test. If true, that's not at all a good sign.
  7. Guess so. And Dietrich's death is what set all of this craziness in motion. He was the one keeping it all under control.
  8. Marko ... OUT. https://www.skysports.com/f1/news/12040/13481077/helmut-marko-red-bull-advisor-to-leave-ahead-of-2026-formula-1-season-after-20-years-with-company
  9. I was thinking about Texas & MAGA a few days ago, wondering if (or how much of) this has it's roots in Waco 1993. Then yesterday - in response to seeing the story about Abbott & Patrick's Hitler Youth plans - I got this text from my buddy who knows several Texas billionaires: "This whole Texas maga cult is Branch Davidians 2.0 with lots of money".
  10. For my Dad, USS Enterprise VF-92 Silver Kings F-4 maintenance hangar Chief for 2 deployments during Vietnam (yep, during the big fire) ... Go Navy!!!!! Beat Army!!! csb: he designed this patch. RIP Woody.
  11. State sanctioned racist/homophobic/misogynist/xenophobic groups in high schools and on college campuses. Cool, cool, cool. Seems vaguely familiar.
  12. nsiap. This guy is right. One way you can tell these fuckers aren't going after actual criminals is because they aren't getting shot in the process. I don't carry, because I'd probably be way too likely to kill a motherfucker, but yeah ... .
