  1. Andretti and Hitec are both legit entries with tons of experience in Motorsport and big money backing. It’s so stupid they aren’t being green lot immediately.
  2. “Hopefully he’ll call the game & have suggestions”
  3. Yeah, and I don’t give a fuck if EV is the future. It makes for shitty racing. Formula1 is a Motorsport first and foremost. And I agree that sustainabile fuels and other ICE tech could still make a massive impact.
  4. Considering that sustainable fuels are already capable of guaranteeing carbon neutral engines by themselves, is there still a need to have power units as complex as the current ones? “Personally I think not. Today we are in a transition phase, the big manufacturers need to develop hybrid and electric technologies as they are part of their sales portfolio, but I believe that, if we do a good job with sustainable fuels, we will be able to have simplified engines and with less impact on weight. It's something we'll start thinking about soon."
  5. There are rumors he turned RB down recently. That would be hard to believe though.
  6. He spelled irrelevant wrong. LMAO. Never change, Satya. I’m sure when we get rid of Brandon Harris you’ll be making this exact same leap in logic in our favor.
  7. He’s really not though. That’s only for absolute freak athletes. Collins doesn’t fit the bill. He lacks explosiveness.
  8. lol wut. He’s nowhere near a Day 2 pick right now. He had 1 sack and 3 TFLs in 12 games last year. He’d have to take a huge step forward to get to that range in next year’s draft.
  9. The Gulf Oil color combination is unrivaled. It will always look incredible.
  10. Wow. Did not realize @utee94 was Asian. You learn something new every day.
  11. We’ve got Tex Pete going full Football Board giving room temperature IQ takes on a game he didn’t even watch, he listened to it on the motherfucking radio! And we’ve got fully unleashed Satya off his Prozac with no word limit?! Oh hell yeah. Surly is in midseason form, baby! I really hope we don’t get a commitment any time soon to mess this up.
  12. I don’t think it’s much of an adjustment. It sounds like at either place you get subjected to weird, cult rituals and dry humping.
  13. And that’s why the Big 12 is absolutely fucked.
  14. I think they want a benchmark for Yuki. They want to see if he’s worth promoting to the second RB seat next year. If either Yuki or Danny Ric clearly beat the other, I’d say that driver has the inside lane for the second RB seat. That and De Vries has been absolute dog shit and never deserved the F1 seat in the first place. Scoring a point at Monza in that Williams really wasn’t that impressive and his junior career was extremely underwhelming. Easily the worst junior career of any F2 winner ever. I mean Latifi got second the year he won F2 and he didn’t beta Latifi by much.
  15. You’re clearly not a true Ferrari fan. If you were, you’d skip the post race too.
  16. Yeah. It honestly makes no sense. Checo’s pace in the race isn’t that far off of Verstappen, but he can’t get out of Q1 in the fastest car on the grid.
  17. This is a crazy stat :
  18. So McLaren are the second fastest car now? lmao Bummer he didn’t have a good last run in Q3. He should have the pace to score some good points tomorrow though.
  19. Danny Ric or Yuki in the second RB would be a lot of fun.
  20. Checo’s gonna be out of the car by summer break.
  21. *Prays to God in Italian*
  22. Hey, any time I can compare someone to Ian Boyd, I go for it because it might be the most insulting comparison known to man, besides Ketch’s physique, of course.
  23. Because points don’t explain the whole story. There were also a bunch of times where Lewis had a significant pace advantage but only our scored George by 2 points because the Merc was the clear 3rd fastest car and there was no 4th team that was even close, so Lewis rinsing his teammate didn’t make a big point difference. Any points comparison of teammates who don’t have a car capable of winning races will be largely due to luck and circumstances outside of their control, because being better than your teammate gets you a 2 point advantage, while having bad luck can lead to a 12 point deficit in a single race. The same thing happened with Charles against Sainz in 2021. Leclerc was clearly much faster and the better driver, but Sainz scored more and a bunch of people tried to say he was better than Leclerc. Then Ferrari had a top 2 car in 2022, and Leclerc showed he was clearly better and our scored Sainz while having worse reliability and strategy than Sainz. I know you like to rely heavily on data, but you’re going full Ian Boyd in this thread by only focusing on the points and ignoring every other factor.
  24. This is wrong in a bunch of ways, but the biggest thing you ignored was Lewis running a ton of experimental setups the first half of last year that had him way off the pace. Once he quit doing that, his pace was better than George last year, and that has continued into this year. Not to mention that George struggles with wheel to wheel racing and has shown a history of being quite clumsy in close quarters. Lewis is still a better driver than George, and it’s pretty obvious if you pay attention to more than just race finishes/points without any other context.
