  1. Hell yes. I look forward to Oregon fans shitting themselves every time there's a rumor Moore will be visiting campus for the rest of the cycle.
  2. They're the favorite to win it. They're averaging beating Red Bull by over 10 points per race since their upgrades in Miami. There are 12 races left and they're only 51 points behind. Unless RBR has a huge upgrade coming (they don't) or Checo/his replacement make a massive jump in from, McLaren is the clear favorite.
  3. Opponent BA of .278, WHIP of 1.49 and ERA of 5.64 doesn't sound great, but he's got two years left and he did improve his ERA by 1.2 between his freshman and sophomore season, so hopefully Weiner can get him to take another big jump and keep him around for the next two years.
  4. The best part about Surly being down all afternoon is that managing partners of accounting and law firms all over Texas are going to be lying awake at night wondering why their billables had such a huge spike on a day where a massive chunk of the state had no power or electricity.
  5. Prema is having a horrible year and can’t figure out the new F2 car. Bearman’s had some decent races when the car isn’t terrible.
  6. Listen here, Captain Autist. I didn't say he's the only driver that has not had rules consistently enforced. The difference is there have been multiple racing rule changes that stemmed almost entirely from Max's driving. Both the 2016 and 2021 racing rule changes came primarily in response to Max's antics. That's no the case for any other driver. Especially for 2021, the FIA should've clarified they would penalize Max's conduct going forward instead of changing the rules to fit his driving antics.
  7. It's absolutely wild how the FIA has let Max absolutely break driver standards since he joined F1 instead of just consistently enforcing the current rules and making Max adjust. In 2016, they had to clarify/change the rule about moving under braking, but even then the rule is not being enforced cleanly. Then we had all the post-2021 rules that now say you can dive bomb the apex and if you reach it first, you don't have to leave room, which makes absolutely no sense and ruins racing. Why the fuck are they constantly bending over backwards for one driver instead of just penalizing him until he learns how to defend and overtake the right way? Especially in an era where every change they make in the regs is about closer/better racing.
  8. Ferrari has been Ferrari’ing so hard since winning Monaco. Looks like Merc is legitimately a top car now. Crazy how much they’ve turned it around since the start of the season. It does seem like you can make huge jumps in performance in these regs more than previous ones. Both McLaren and Merc have had massive improvements mid-season the last two seasons.
  9. Yep. He had an easy opportunity to shut down the question clearly, instead he side-stepped it entirely and walked out. That sounded much more like the response of someone who doesn’t expect to stay but doesn’t want to say that right after his team just lost. It’s wild that some people took that answer to be a sign he’s staying.
  10. TIL UTEX_ME posts on TexAgs as The Weast Side of Kyle.
  11. Logan Sargent to join Prema’s IndyCar team next year. This seems like a win for everyone. Logan wasn’t ready for F1, but he has talent and could definitely develop into a good driver. I’d love to see Pourchaire get picked up by Prema too after he was done dirty by McLaren. https://www.reddit.com/r/INDYCAR/s/4m83GdAyOW
  12. Yeah, he’s clearly ahead of everyone else. He’s got a great shot at winning 3 IndyCar titles in 4 years, which is absolutely absurd in a spec series. It would have been fun to see him get a shot in F1, but Piastri going to McLaren ended that. At this point, he should probably just stay in IndyCar and become the best driver ever in that series, unless a top F1 team with a chance at a title comes calling.
  13. You were dead wrong within half an hour of your post. That is extremely impressive, even for Surly. Bravo, sir.
  14. Looking at the lap time charts, both Lando and Charles stayed out 2-3 laps too long in the first stint. Charles especially had too much deg to stay out that long on the first stint. He could beat George for 4th probably. They both lost a lot of time in those last laps in the first stints and didn’t gain enough back on the last two stints because no one had to stretch their tyres that much in the last two stints.
