    What years were the tires exploding randomly?  2013? 2014?  That was pretty good.

    It was more recent than that.  Verstappen had a huge lead in a race and one of his tires blew out of the main straight.  Another competitors tire blew up in the same race.  Unless there was another season with that issue.  I think the latest was 2019 ish.

    Riccardio seems like he sucks 

    I’ve thought he’s past his time for a while.  I’d like to see Lawson in that seat getting experience.

    DTS is what got me into the sport. I now have zero desire to watch it. Seemed like the first one was great for introducing the names, teams, and the sport overall. The next ones were good for showing some behind the scenes stuff. Last season just felt like a recap of the year.

    Can't imagine there will be much that's interesting to see from the 2023 season given it was a blowout.

    I enjoy getting to know the personalities and the fact that when it drops there's a race the next week.

    France is the answer to anything pertaining to wine!

    Domestically speaking Oregon is by far the best QPR and stylistically there are some old world producers that have their hands in the wine making process.

    Cali cab has gotten to a price point that makes it hard to stomach. Not too mention the flabby fruit centric over oaked high octane crap that is produced and coveted by many! lol

    There are a few chards from New Zealand and Australia that are really good and punch way above their weight class. German reislings with some age are fantastic! And Chacra is the only wine from Argentina that I find drinkable!

    I agree about France but in my travels in Italy I’ve met quite a few producers and learned their stories.  When you get connected to the family and their wines it goes to a different level for me.  We met the brothers at I Sodi and I noticed an artillery shell in their tasting room.  They walked us outside and told us the Germans were on this ridge lobbing shells and the Americans were on the other ridge lobbing shells and they were in the middle.  Learning about what they went through gave me a deeper connection to their wine.

    I also think CA wines tend to have higher alcohol content.  I'm always baffled by the frequency of 14.5 or 15% wines!?  

    I hate fruit bombs although it does seem that the California reds now have more subtlety to them.

    Are there any wines you will not buy on your own... they only end up in your possession if someone gifts them to you?  I'm sure this will elicit some hate but for me it is California Chardonnay (really any oaky Chardonnay... I'll take a French Chablis any day) or pretty much any California Cabernet Sauvignon or just about any California reds that give me a headache.  I've never gotten such brutal headaches than from CA reds.  Must be all the additives and garbage some of the mass bottlers use. 

    Though I do have some California Cabernet Sauvignon in my collection it’s not something I go out of my way to purchase.  But old world wines?   That’s my jam.

    Google says LH made $35 million last year.

    Holy shit. Ok, maybe Mercedes is smart just to wave goodbye. Do driver salaries not factor into the cost caps? 

    Driver salaries are not part of the cost cap.

    or split it up with 2 different locations.

    This is why we did.  Three nights on the east coast where the beaches are and two nights in Palma.  We loved both.  Mallorca was a great island.
