  1. Pirelli chose those tires as the hard for this race. On many other tracks it's a soft tire. Pirelli issued a life of 40 laps. The tires failed 75-80% into the stated life.
  2. His interview showed that at least off the track he hasn't. He's a fantastic driver, no doubt.
  3. LeClerc said in the post qualifying interview that Mercedes and Red Bull have an advantage over him. I really like the way LeClerc has matured over the past three seasons as opposed to Verstappen who now just acts like a petulant child if things don't go his way.
  4. La Fortezza in the castle alongside with the enoteca in Greve are the two best wine rooms I've ever tasted in. About 10% of my wine that is aging is Brunello that came from La Fortezza.
  5. I love driving around Italy when I get to a place that I'll spend a little time in. Be careful of the signs and speed limits. They love to send tickets to foreigners. Trains between metro areas like Florence and Rome and drive in the countryside. Just know that a LOT of Italians are bicyclists so watch those blind curves in the hills. ETA: There is no way I'd drive in Rome or Naples. It's insanity.
  6. I love Venice but I really want to rent an apartment in Montalcino or Montepulciano or Greve right on the piazza for a while and just live like a local. The food, the wine, the views. Amazing.
  7. Pick a region. Italy is far too big and diverse to explore the rest of the country in two weeks.
  8. I enjoyed the race but that was so poorly produced. Fuck NBC.
  9. Probably about tree fiddy.
  10. It’s really fun to see the friendship between Sainz and Norris. Such a competitive environment yet they see past it.
  11. Interviewer, “Carlos, you aren’t even sweating.” Sainz, “I train a lot. Unlike you.”
  12. There used to be an Indonesian guy that could source any wine you wanted. I think he’s in prison now.
  13. I wondered about the Chateau Montelena as well. I have quite a few bottles of the cab sitting and I've been collecting their Chardonnay for a while now. ETA: And I like big bottles too!
  14. I would drive that
  15. Home and away. Just reverse the orange and blue locations and it's still a thing of beauty.
  16. Enjoy. That's the stuff of dreams.
  17. That McLaren is a thing of beauty. Perfect livery.
  18. The Tequila Museum, Playa del Carmen
  19. Vietnam Memorial as well. We are currently redoing the security system in the east building of the National Gallery of Art and my guys hate that building. Hardest set of rules to work under we've ever encountered.
  20. Jake Harris hasn't been on the show in a long time. It's really weird watching Nick during king and bairdi knowing he won't be around for snow crab season (or ever).
  21. A beach for every day of the year. It was really pretty and we had fun walking around St. John's. It was only on a cruise ship stop but it's an island I'd love to explore.
  22. Wife and I are considered fully vaccinated as of Tuesday of this week.
  23. Lots of eye candy there.
  24. Britain requires a two week quarantine for people arriving from Turkey which is what prompted the schedule shuffle.
  25. Really solid race by LeClerc today. He was prepared to make those mediums last 40 plus laps and only took the final pit because he’d built such an advantage.
