  1. Maybe Murphy is color blind and also needs glasses? It would be the best explanation for some of his throws.
  2. So Brundle was wrong when he talked about the penalty during the part of FP2 I watched. The stewards said they could not grant a derogation to Sainz because of the way the rules are written, but added a note that said they would have done so if able. Sounds a lot like stupid school zero tolerance policies.
  3. Yeah, that's the number. I think covering them was the only option they had since there are so many combined with the time crunch. They had to do something. They are lucky it was just a car that got destroyed instead of a driver getting decapitated. Massa almost got killed by a small 3-4" spring.
  4. That stupid buyout is already a point of pride for them though. Because it shows how committed to excellence they are or some other nonsense. In a normal environment, may people would get fired for the original contract and extension because the terms were so stupid. I agree with you on that.
  5. I think they all were on board with that. Sharp doesn't really want to even mention Jimbo's by name I would bet because he's just as culpable.
  6. I would say there's a fair chance Mercedes was the team who objected because of the constructor and driver standings.
  7. I don't know if that was option based on what I've seen. The whole valve box came out of the ground and not just the cover. They need a completely different type of box that can be anchored in to the street more securely.
  8. Parts of the track had to open to traffic at 4:00am. I don't think they also wanted to have to clear out fans while getting the track ready for that.
  9. I got to spend a night in fabulous Queens because Delta ran out of pilots at JFK back in the summer. Got 3 hours of sleep and then had to be back at 4:00am to fly to Salt Lake City then Austin. Before they cancelled the flight, they changed gates on us so we got to walk through a mile of terminal first. I will never voluntarily fly through there again.
  10. I don't know how the teams and drivers do it. They have to be jet lagged for months on end.
  11. Brundle sounded like he was about to fall asleep in the middle of talking when FP2 finally started at 2:30am. It was way past his bedtime.
  12. Yeah and small rocks hitting a driver at 150-200mph is real bad.
  13. Apparently it's up to the teams and one of them objected. That's beyond stupid. I saw Zak Brown interviewed about it and he didn't agree with it.
  14. Does something like that count against Sainz's replacement parts since it's not his or the team's fault?
  15. I knew they were in trouble a few months ago when my friend who has mid tier status at Cosmo got an F1 package offer that we could have actually afforded.
  16. If you are ordering them, be warned that FedEx is having some stupid delays. I ordered one from Creekstone a couple weeks ago when they had a sale and it got here 3 days late.
  17. The worst part is that companies we order perishable things from all seem to use FedEx. I ordered a nice prime rib for Christmas from Creekstone and it got here 3 days late when it was supposed to be 2 day shipping and the box looked like it had been run over by something along the way.
  18. Every package is 2-3 days late in arriving. They flat out lie about tracking info. I've had a couple of packages recently where they were out for delivery for 3 consecutive days before actually showing up. What's the deal? Do they just suck? Some kind of logistics issue?
  19. And a surplus of question marks to go along with them.
  20. It's very impressive that they managed to fuck up such a great story.
  21. That costs prospects though. I'd rather just sign a free agent arm or 2 now.
