  1. Damn. That’s really fucking impressive. At first you think it’s going to be a total fuck up, but then you see him salvage it by managing to embed the tweet in the very middle of the fucked up link he originally tried to post. Bravo, sir. Bravo.
  2. Any time you can play for a guy who has a fire hose fully inserted into his mouth, you gotta do it.
  3. Doubt it. Much more likely they start Helm at in-line and shift Sanders to Move TE after Billingsley leaves. Helm has looked really good so far.
  4. Ryan Day’s right hand looks like it’s placed awfully low in that photo…
  5. Beyond Brisket would probably play better where he lives now.
  6. Second all of this. It’s also pretty sweet to go to the inside the GA spot with the rides and food. You can stand right by the long straight and see just how fast the cars are up close. I watched qualifying there last year, and it was awesome to hear the uproar of the crowd when Checo put in fastest lap on the first runs in Q3. We had some Mexicans by us losing their minds.
  7. IIRC you were one of the posters trying to say Sainz was better after last year because he got extremely lucky in scoring more points. And I’m a Ferrari fan and I wasn’t doing that at all. I hold my breath about an engine blowing out or an idiotic pit strategy. Those kinds of mistakes have cost Leclerc about 80 points this year, which is way more than his mistakes have cost the team.
  8. I was talking about him hanging on to win with a stuck throttle in Austria.
  9. Minor flaws like engines blowing up, throttles getting stuck, and strategy screwing him out of two wins? Those minor flaws?
  10. There’s no way that’s a RB penalty. Perez gad to avoid or Russell would’ve caused a crash.
  11. Russell seems like he kind of sucks at wheel to wheel racing. Every time he’s in a close fight it ends up in a collision. Imola last year, he caused the crash at Silverstone, contact with Perez in Austria, and now dives up the inside and would’ve caused a crash if Perez doesn’t back out.
  12. Why the fuck is Sainz pitting now?!
  13. Ferrari pit wall are such fucking clowns. Telling Carlos to pit while he takes P3.
  14. Fuck me. An entire race of listening to Di Resta. Rosberg and Button are much better stand ins for Brundle.
  15. Yeah. It’s also weird to me that the 3 engine requirement originated when there were about 25% less races on the calendar. Seems like adding a 4th engine before penalties would be reasonable.
  16. Same for Leclerc. Ferrari’s plan is to try to stretch these engines until around COTA and then take one more grid penalty for each, but that will require good reliability, which is a long shot. Very possible both drivers have 2 more grid penalties coming.
  17. Same for Leclerc in Spain and Baku. The engine blowouts are absolutely killing Ferrari. Leclerc’s lost between 56 and 70 points to Verstappen from his two blowouts.
  18. Yeah, it actually has one of the highest numbers of overtakes of any circuit, but the track and runoff area is so hard to discern on TV it makes it a bad watch.
  19. Yes and no. You can’t rely on lap times, but you can tell differences from telemetry. There were some good telemetry posts on Reddit showing Ferrari running a low engine mode so they lost time on the straights, but we’re quicker than RB in just about every corner and that carried over to FP2. The real question for Ferrari will be tyre deg. They had some in FP2 and tend to struggle with it on front limited tracks like this one. Unless Merc was really sandbagging in FP1 and FP2, it looks like this will be a Max v Charles battle. The only way I can see Merc with a shot is if both Ferrari and RB have a ton of tyre deg.
  20. Sure if Jimbo pays him up front, but if the aggy rumors are true that they’re not following through on paying the 22 guys, then paying Hill a shitload up front would piss off their whole locker room. Actually now that I say that, it sounds exactly like something aggy would do.
  21. Yeah, it wouldn’t shock me at all. But I do wonder if all the rumors swirling about aggy not following through on their commitments to 22 recruits will dissuade guys like Hill from taking huge offers from aggy if they will be paid out over time. An illegal (and therefore unenforceable) offer to to pay a guy $2 million over 4 years is worth less than Taylor Hamm writing IOU on a sticky note.
  22. I guess one of the pages fell out while he has packing up the playbook to head to the Station.
  23. Blowing their entire bag budget to keep one elite player away from UT while the rest of their class is a red-headed step child with a face only Karen Key Largo could love would be an all-time aggy move.
