I can’t remember all of them but there were a handful of drivers (Alonso, Max) that said they could win if their car was as fast as Mercedes. It’s normal for drivers to think they are the best and their talents are not the reason for the performence.
Perez is on the same level as Stroll, who is being dominated in a similar fashion by Alonso. Max is good but Perez’s poor performence is elevating his accomplishments.
How sure do you require a diagnosis to be before treatment can begin? 4 sigma?
Before we crucify anyone for not notifying her do we know what her wishes were? Was Carmona upset that she wasn’t notified?
The lawyers could be working on a contingency bias, ie they don’t get paid unless unless Massa gets paid.
F1 won’t even give China a race there’s 0 chance a team would be approved.
That statement is backwards, 11th place is the furthest back that could catch Max. Max can not finish 11th there are not enough points left for 10 drivers to jump him. There are 10 races left and each race has 102 pts available and 3 sprint races with 36 pts, if 2 - 11 got those points evenly Max would still be champ. The furthest Max could drop is 5th.
It’s hard to tell how good max is verses how bad Sergio is.
Looks like our politicians are getting ready to shake down tech companies that don’t want to be classified as part of “big tech”
I love deciding where other people should work how much they should make, nothing more fun than reaching into others wallet.
Being reckless is excusable because it wasn’t intentional?
My favorite example of this is in cycling. Buying a 15k carbon fiber bike, to save 5 pounds over a 3k aluminum bike when they’re overweight. They could spend 10k on a personal trainer for a year and be way ahead.
A town created by shakedowns gets a taste of European shakedowns.
It started as a joke on 4 Chan in 2017 get people to think the ok sign was used by white supremacists. The media naturally fell for it/ran with it as it creates a narrative of secret sleeper clan members waiting to strike. Mostly morons believed it to be true which included white supremists groups who now have adopted it.
If it wasn’t for their history, I don’t know if any driver would want to drive for them. They can’t stay out of their own way.
I dislike the loss of tire use stragity. I like that teams are forced to understand how to get the most out of their car on each compound. Practice is a little more important, teams can’t just focus on max pace with softs and race pace on the different compounds.
Electric trains work for a few reasons, multiple cars can be driven without giving up cargo space, the amount of power put down can be much higher, and wheel slippage can be managed almost instantaneously. These gains allow electric trains to overcome the loss due to electric generation and storage.
With the time difference there will only be a handful of games that I’ll be awake for.
A second penalty per million over per race for the back half of the season and double the amount over and apply it to next year’s spending. That would hurt the following two years hopefully it would be enough of handicap to negate any gains.
I would love to see teams starting 20 or 30 seconds later in the pits, if nothing else watching them have to charge through the field every week would be entertaining.
When Perez was teamates with Stroll and Ocon he had similar performances to them. He wasn’t a standout talent, think about how Russell performed against teammates at Williams, Sergio didn’t have that.
